||’  “||
||The Cowdenbeath Congregation of Jehovahs Witnesses (the<br>Congregation”) is an unincorporated association in Scotland and it<br>operates on the basis of a Constitution.<br>The Constitution restricts the operation of the Congregation to<br>religious purposes and limits the use of its assets to further its<br>purposes, these being the practice and advancement of Christianity<br>founded on the Holy Bible.||
||||
||New Trustees are selected by the existing Trustees, from the<br>Congregation membership, following prayerful consideration of<br>their spiritual qualifications in the light of the Bible.||
||||
|**Objectives and activities**|||
|**Charitable purposes**<br>**Summary of the main activities**<br>**in relation to these objects**|||
||||
||The practice and advancement of Christianity founded on the<br>Holy Bible.||
||||
||During the year, the Congregation has achieved its objects and<br>continued to pursue its purposes by holding regular twice-weekly<br>meetings for the public worship of God and Bible study. Further,<br>most Congregation members have assisted by sharing regularly in<br>preaching the good news of God’s Kingdom and teaching principles<br>of Christian living including respect for secular authority, persons and<br>property, the maintenance of personal morality and family values and<br>other facets of practical Christianity.||

## **Achievements and performance** 

|**Summary of the main achievements of**<br>**the charity during the financial period**||
|---|---|
||During this financial period the charity successfully achieved<br>its aims. An average attendance of 65 persons were present at<br>our twice-weekly meetings for Bible discussion. Participation<br>was a constant feature, proving the knowledge of the Bible<br>was increasing in attendees.<br>The public preaching work continued to reap benefits. Many in<br>the community continue to express an interest in religion,<br>maintaining regular contact with Jehovah’s Witnesses and<br>reading Bible-based literature. Some are now taking<br>advantage of the offer of a free home Bible course. Through<br>the website JW.org, many persons in the local area have<br>requested home visits to receive more information.|



## **Financial review** 

|**Brief statement of the charity’s policy**<br>**on reserves**<br>**Details of any deficit**<br>**Donated facilities and services (if any)**||
|---|---|
||The charity has a consistent income base, through donations<br>from Congregation members, some of which is by tax-effective<br>means. Based on this income, we can plan confidently with<br>relatively small reserves. The policy is to ensure that we have<br>free reserves on hand, not designated for specific purposes or<br>otherwise committed, equivalent to not less than 3 months<br>working expenditure.|

||The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance<br>with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) 2005 Act and the<br>Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity trustees<br>consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the Accounts Regulations<br>does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section<br>44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.|||||||||
||My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts<br>Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the<br>charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes<br>consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks<br>explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken<br>do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do<br>not express an audit opinion on the viewgiven bythe accounts.|||||||||
||In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention<br>1.<br>which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the<br>requirements:<br>•<br>to keep accounting records in accordance with section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and<br>Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and<br>•<br>to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with<br>Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations<br>have not been met, or<br>2.<br>to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper<br>understanding of the accounts to be reached.|||||||||
