The objectives of the Church are as follows:

To proclaim the complete gospel of the salvation of the Lord Jesus; to keep and uphold all teachings in the Bible;
-
To prepare for the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus.
These objectives are met through regular meetings for worship where they are preached to the congregation.
Volunteers
Many volunteers give up their time to help out at the church, particularly at weekends and in the evenings. The Board is greatly indebted to these volunteers for their commitment and support.
Grant Making Policy
The Church Board operates a policy to contribute a proportion of its income to the General Assembly of the True Jesus Church (U.K) on an annual basis at a level set by the General Assembly and to other religious organisations as it sees appropriate on an ad hoc basis. The Board reviews the level of the contributions each year to other religious organisations.

During the year the church met regularly for worship and carried out various activities in pursuit of the above stated aims. Significant highlights, events and developments of note in the year include:

TRUE JESUS CHURCH IN ELGIN CHURCH BOARD ANNUAL REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024
At the balance sheet date, the unrestricted reserves were £393,838 (2023: £371,989). There were restricted reserves of £238,631 (2023: £222,720) and permanent endowment reserves of £373,796 (2023: £373,796).
Principal sources of funding
The Church receives the majority of its funding from those in the fellowship by way of weekly offerings and from general donations. The church does not organise specific activities for the purpose of raising income.
Reserves Policy
The General Fund represents the free reserves of the church arising from past operating results. The Church Board are satisfied that the balance of the fund approximates to four years’ operating expenditure. The Church Board are aware that they are holding unrestricted funds in excess of those needed, but any decisions on their future use are still to be agreed.
Investment Policy
The reserves are currently held in cash, which the Church Board feel is appropriate given the continuing inherent volatility in the stock market. The Board will keep this policy under review.
Risk Management
The Church Board have assessed the major risks to which the church is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the members, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate any exposure to the major risks.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
The Church plans continuing the regular activities outlined above subject to satisfactory income arrangements.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CHURCH BOARD
The Members of the Board are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in Scotland requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which show a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Members of the Board are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Members of the Board are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information on the congregation’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF TRUE JESUS ELGIN
I report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2024 set out on pages 6 to 16.
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Independent Examiner
The charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity’s Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (a) to (c) of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner’s statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44 (1)(a) of the 2005 Act, Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations (as amended) and section 386, 387, 477 and 482 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations (as amended) have not been met; or
-
2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of accounting
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended).
The charity has taken advantage of the exemption from the requirement to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows as permitted under FRS 102 and the Charities FRS 102 SORP.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The Members of the Board consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern and have considered a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements.
Investment and other income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Offerings are included in the year in which they are receivable.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
-
Costs of raising funds comprise the costs of investment manager’s fees.
-
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs incurred by the charity in delivery of its activities and services to its beneficiaries and their associated support costs.
-
Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Support costs
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include governance costs which support the Trusts programmes and activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities.
Depreciation
Fixed assets are originally recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
| Land and Buildings | - | nil |
|---|---|---|
| Furniture | - | 25% straight line |
| Equipment | - | 25% straight line |
| Motor Vehicles | - | 25% straight line |
Items of expenditure are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £250.
Freehold property has not been depreciated, which is not in line with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice. The Church Board do not feel that the freehold property is reducing in value and therefore have not applied any depreciation.
The land and buildings are inalienable and form part of a permanent endowment which means that these cannot be sold but must be held in perpetuity.
Financial Instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
Unrestricted funds
Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources receivable or generated for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose and are available as general funds.
Designated fund
Designated funds are unrestricted funds designated by the Board for a specific purpose.
Permanent Endowment fund
The Endowment fund is a capital fund which the Board are legally required to retain and use only for the purposes of the Church.
Restricted funds
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor.
