Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Auditor
- Chater Allan LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “one congregation with a historic loan was able to make a second, one-off repayment of £10,000 to reduce their outstanding loan amount.”
- “During the period under review, Good Shepherd cleared their outstanding historic property debt to the Trust.”
- “The Trust is in negotiation with a potential purchaser of St Timothy Lutheran Church in Sunderland.”
- “The members of Redeemer Lutheran Church, Harlow, wish to develop their site to provide affordable rental accommodation in a multi-storey redevelopment of the site which will include a new church and accommodation for the pastor and his family.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
