## **Report of the Trustees** 

## **for the Year Ended 30 September 2024** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

The charity generated a net surplus of £4,920 for the year ended 30 September 2024 (2023: surplus of £17,838). 

At 30 September 2024, the reserves totalled £1,425,499 (2023: £1,420,579), which comprises unrestricted free reserves of £36,369 (2023: £37,119), and restricted funds of £1,389,130 (2023: £1,383,460). 

## **Reserves policy** 

Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between the spending and receiving of income and to cover unplanned emergency repairs and other expenditure. 

The board adopted a formal reserve policy to provide two months of charitable running costs. At current level of expenditure this would equate to £19,538. At 30 September 2024, unrestricted free reserves stood at £36,369 (2023: £37,119). The trustees continue to seek methods of generating unrestricted income. 

The Trustees meet annually in budgetary session to:- 

- Work with the church treasurer in setting the spending and funding targets for the ensuing 12 months. These budgets are proposed by the Finance Team 

- Review accounting policies, and their appropriate application. 

The Treasurer is accountable to:- 

- Provide monthly Financial Statements for the church board. 

- Work with the Trustees to: 

   - Assess development needs for the church buildings. 

   - Review and set budgets annually 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

Trustee's Responsibilities 

The Board seeks to follow Scottish Charity Law in the preparation of financial statements for each financial period that show a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and its financial activities for that period. 

In preparing those financial statements the trustees seek to: 

Maintain suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently. 

Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. 

State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements. 

Prepare the financial statements on the ongoing concern basis unless it is deemed inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue in business. 

Further, the Trustees recognise their responsibility: 

To keep proper accounting records that 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) for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

Approved by order of the board of trustees on ............................................. and signed on its behalf by: 

- Trustee

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Erskine Church Of The Nazarene** 

I report on the accounts for the year ended 30 September 2024 set out on pages five to fifteen. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and 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 Accounts Regulations 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 the independent examiner's report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. 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 you as 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 connection with 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 and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations; and 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations 

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.
