Annual Report July 2023- June 2024 for the Trustees of the Universal Christian Gnostic Movement
Financial Summary
The Universal Christian Gnostic Movement has maintained a healthy financial position this year. The accounts reflect an income of £3,163 and expenditures of £3,137, resulting in a net balance of £26. The outgoing balance at the start of the year was £2,344, and the current balance stands at £2,370. A final donation from one of our members provided a valuable safety net, which could be invested in initiatives such as printing "Rebel Eagle" by iii
The primary outgoing expense is rent, which amounts to approximately £2,880 per year. Additional expenditures include advertising and printing, though these are smaller portions of the overall budget. This year, a change in landlords has required us to formalize rent payments by processing them through our charitable banking account, which requires two signatures for transactions. While this adds a layer of bureaucracy, it also ensures greater transparency and official handling of donations, which are now collected, deposited into the account, and transferred to the landlord as needed.
Activities and Achievements
|
This year, the Universal Christian Gnostic Movement has continued to provide a comprehensive and consistent schedule of activities, supporting students at all levels of their spiritual journey. Here is an overview of our key activities:
-

We provide five sessions per week:
-
Saturday: Beginner-level courses designed for new students.

participants completed these structured courses earlier in the year before transitioning to pure practice sessions.
- «= Tuesday and Thursday: Advanced sessions for experienced students, focusing on deep and profound spiritual practices.

Independent Examiner’s Report
For the Year Ended 30th June 2024
Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of
Charity Name: Universal Christian Gnostic Movement of the United Kingdom Other name the charity is known by: The Gnostic Movement Registered Charity Number: S$C045736 Charity's principal address: PO
| report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30th June 2024, which are set out in the following pages.
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 ("the 2005 Act") and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) ("the 2006 Regulations"). The charity's trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(d) of the 2006 Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section (44)(1)(c) of the 2005 Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Regulations. 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 seeks 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, | 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:
-
Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: e to keep accounting records in accordance with section 44(1)(a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2005 Regulations, and
-
e toto prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2005 Regulations have not been met, or
-
Towhich, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
