||During the financial period, RCCG Zoe Parish Greenock has:<br>•  Secured our first premises on Westburn Street, Greenock in<br>August 2025, a significant milestone for a parish only 2½ years<br>old.<br>•  Commenced renovation works to transform the building into<br>a welcoming worship and community hub.<br>•  Expanded outreach through the Port Glasgow house<br>fellowship, laying the foundation for a future parish plant.<br>•  Strengthened worship and fellowship activities, with steady<br>growth in attendance and participation across services, Bible<br>studies, and prayer meetings.<br>•  Enhanced community support, providing food and practical<br>assistance to individuals and families in need.<br>•  Built organisational credibility, embedding governance,<br>safeguarding, and compliance frameworks to ensure<br>sustainability and replicability.|

|**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 trustees policy is to maintain a level of reserves sufficient to ensure the<br>charity can continue its core activities in the event of unforeseen circumstances<br>or fluctuations in income. Given the parish’s recent establishment and ongoing<br>investment in its new premises, reserves are currently modest.<br>As income grows, the trustees intend to build reserves equivalent to at least<br>three months’ operating costs, providing stability while ensuring that funds are<br>primarily directed towards charitable activities and community benefit.|

## **Independent Examiners Report** 

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of The Redeemed Christian Church of God – Zoe Parish, Greenock (SC052837)** 

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2025 which are set out on the pages attached. 

## **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. 

The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (a) to (c) of the 2006 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 independent examiner’s statement** 

My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts 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 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 and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and 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.
