REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
for the year ended 31 December 2018 |
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with |
the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2018. The trustees have adopted the provisions of |
Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their |
accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) |
(effective 1 January 2015). |
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
Objectives and aims for the public benefit |
The objective of AE International is to coordinate grants that are received from supporting partners and to manage their |
effective distribution to the ministry projects that are managed by partner teams within Africa. In addition the objectives |
are to provide oversight on good governance for all partners and to enable equity in the distribution of discretionary |
funds to partner members within Africa. The trustees provide substantial input into the primary direction and strategy |
relating to the management, coordination of activities and focus of the partnership as a whole as well as developing the |
policies and procedures that govern the partnership's operation. The trustees confirm that they have referred to the |
guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charitable |
company's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. |
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE |
Charitable activities |
In the year 2018, African Enterprise experienced tremendous results in our core vision - 'Evangelizing the cities of |
Africa in word and deed'. We conducted 9 successful evangelistic missions and different outreaches through social |
action and foxfires activities. Out of these efforts 1,326,160 people were reached with the gospel, both in word and |
deed, out of which 128,092 committed their lives to follow Jesus Christ. We thank God for the continued increase in the |
number of new believers over the years. It's our hope and prayer that this fruit will last. |
In the last four years with 2018 inclusive, African Enterprise outreaches have grown significantly in numbers. This came |
as a result of the following strategies: |
- Strengthening and empowering the Africa national teams both financially and through strategic trainings. |
- Encouraging "Beyond our Boundaries strategy". Teams working together to reach neighbouring countries. |
- Integrating proclamation and social action in the running of programs. |
- Increasing the number of local evangelists and mission volunteers involved in missions. |
- Improving the internal systems including communication and reporting. |
- Technical support from International Office and good collaboration with Support Offices. |
- Strategic Partnerships with likeminded individuals and organizations. |
Preservation model of discipleship of new believers was rolled out and is currently being implemented in Uganda |
following the 2017 Kampala mission. African Enterprise is partnering with George Whitefield College and the local |
churches in the mobilization of the mission field, and setting up of training and coaching of non- theologically trained |
pastors using Explore material. |
African Enterprise served as the secretariat for the Movement Day Africa (MDA) event which occurred on 23rd & 24th |
August, 2018 in Nairobi, Kenya. The objective of the meeting was to bring together Church, Business and Political |
leaders from across the continent to catalyze a movement among their various networks with the aim of contributing to |
the holistic flourishing of African cities. The event attracted 27 nations and 55 cities from Africa, Europe, North |
America and Asia. The various partners that came on board jointly funded the event. All our National Team Leaders |
attended the event. Some of the outcomes from the event include new mission partnerships and increased visibility of |
African Enterprise. |

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
for the year ended 31 December 2018 |
FINANCIAL REVIEW |
Reserves policy |
The trustees aim is to maintain reserves in unrestricted funds that will be sufficient to cover the operational costs of the |
organization for a period of 60 days or more. The trustees recognize that the level of funds received is dependent in turn |
on the fundraising efforts of partners rather than the direct fundraising efforts of the organization itself and that the flow |
of funds can be variable. |
The balance of unrestricted funds was overdrawn by $12,249 as at 31st December 2018. It is however important to note |
that the overdrawn figure is largely a reflection of the accrual (provision) for audit and accountancy. Compared to 2017, |
the Charity has made an improvement in restoring of the reserves by $11,735. The trustees are keen on ensuring that the |
organization is a going concern and they have made sure that the budget for 2019 has a surplus of $120,000 which is |
designated for the unrestricted reserves. They have installed a resource mobilization strategy which captures local |
fundraising for the implementing national teams in Africa, expanding the funding base in the support teams outside of |
Africa and cost cutting measures within all African Enterprise teams. |
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT |
Governing document |
The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee, as defined by the companies act 2006 and is hence |
controlled by its articles of association. |
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees |
Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the by-laws of African Enterprise International, most trustees |
are drawn from members of the African Enterprise International Council (IC) which is a group of companies that have |
signed the Covenant of Partnership (CoP) and is the body that appoints the trustees each three years. The IC determines |
the composition and membership of the International Board Trustees at its triennial meeting. At present trustees are |
appointed for a three-year term and may not serve more than two consecutive terms. The appointment of trustees |
between triennial IC meetings needs to be ratified at the next IC meeting. |
The triennial meeting, hereby referred to as International Council (IC) took place on 16th July 2016 and new trustees |
were appointed, |
Organizational structure |
African Enterprise International Limited is a company limited by guarantee with the registered company number |
07883925. It is registered as a charity (Charity Number 1147128). The constitution of the partnership provides for a |
triennial council made up of representatives of all the members of the partner organizations both within Africa and |
outside Africa. Each partner organization has signed the CoP. The representatives of the partner organization are as |
defined in the by-laws of the company and they approve the appointment of trustees each three years. The make-up of |
the board is set out in the constitution. The board comprises two members who represent partners within Africa and two |
who represent partners outside Africa. In addition, there are two independent directors, the treasurer and the chairman. |
The company secretary attends board meetings as a non voting member. The International Team Leader (ITL) and the |
founder of the organization are also ex-officio attendees. None of the trustees is remunerated. |
Induction and training of new trustees |
African Enterprise International Limited considers carefully the induction of new trustees and has prepared a board |
manual for new and existing trustees. Documents provided to incoming trustees comprise the following:- |
1 History and Ethos of Organization |
2 Memorandum and Articles of Association and Covenant of Partnership |
3 Personal Basis of Belief |
4 Organization's Statement of Faith (Lausanne Covenant) |
5 Trustees Legal Responsibilities |
6 Trustees Responsibilities to AE |
7 Partnership Policy and Procedures Manual |
8 Current Statutory Accounts |
9 Current Management Accounts |
Trustees are advised to read through the material thoroughly prior to signing the consent to act as a trustee. |

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
for the year ended 31 December 2018 |
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES |
The trustees (who are also the directors of African Enterprise International for the purposes of company law) are |
responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and |
United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view |
of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including |
the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the |
trustees are required to |
- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
- | observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; |
- | make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
- | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. |
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time |
the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with |
the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for |
taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
In so far as the trustees are aware: |
- | there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and |
- | the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information. |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, HPCA Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
Approved by order of the board of trustees on |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
AFRICAN ENTERPRISE INTERNATIONAL |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of African Enterprise International (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 December 2018 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- | give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 December 2018 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; |
- | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
- | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
Basis for opinion |
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. |
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors responsibilities for the audit of the |
financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical |
requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, |
and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit |
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
Conclusions relating to going concern |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to |
you where: |
- | the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or |
- | the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charitable company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
Other information |
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the |
annual report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. |
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise |
explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing |
so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge |
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or |
apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial |
statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude |
that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to |
report in this regard. |
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
- | the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of |
the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
AFRICAN ENTERPRISE INTERNATIONAL |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you |
if, in our opinion: |
- | adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
- | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
- | certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or |
- | the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees. |
Responsibilities of trustees |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the |
charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and |
for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary |
to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to |
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern |
basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have |
no realistic alternative but to do so. |
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from |
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our |
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance |
with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error |
and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the |
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. |
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting |
Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the |
Independent Auditors. |
Use of our report |
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of |
the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's |
members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest |
extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the |
charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
for the year ended 31 December 2018 |
1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been |
prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement |
of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial |
Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015)', |
Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of |
Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost |
convention. |
The accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that the charitable company will |
continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.The validity of this assumption is based on the fact |
that the charity only distributes grants to partner projects in Africa after it has received funds from its supporting |
partners. In addition, the charity has very little by way of overhead costs and these are also met from the funds |
from supporting partners before remittances are made to the partner projects in Africa therefore it is appropriate |
for the financial statements to be prepared on the going concern basis. |
Income |
All income is recognized in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it |
is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. |
Expenditure |
Liabilities are recognized as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the |
charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and |
the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has |
been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly |
attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of |
resources. |
Charitable activities |
The charitable company' principle activities are as follows: |
Mission & Ministry |
This consists of support towards missions that are held across Africa by the partners in the ten teams in Africa |
who are part of the partnership. These missions use an approach called stratified evangelism where each strata of |
society within a city has a focused reach out. In addition, funds go towards a major mission in a city that is |
strategic to a country or region and is usually outside the national boundaries of partner teams. In recent years |
these missions have included Bujumbura in Burundi and Juba in Southern Sudan, Monrovia in Liberia and |
Maputo in Mozambique. Funds go to directly support missions and in addition the staff that go on mission or |
provide the necessary infrastructure to assist teams in going on mission. Ministry also covers Peacebuilding |
exercises within countries and youth evangelism. |
Aid & development |
This consists of support for a range of socially focused projects covering community needs. Examples would |
include programmes for the rehabilitation of prostitutes, skills training to assist in running a small enterprise, |
primary health clinics including immunization programmes and water and sanitation projects within very |
deprived communities. |
Governance costs |
This consists of all legal and other costs connected to the charitable company meeting its statutory governance |
obligations and includes the annual audit fee and the costs associated with the meetings of the International board |
of trustees (directors). |
Taxation |
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. |

Fund accounting |
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. |
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions |
arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. |
Monies received by the charitable company are mainly restricted by both activity and country where the money is |
to be spent. The restrictions applied are always fulfilled but in order that the fund reporting is not broken down to |
an unhelpful level of detail the restricted funds have been identified at a country level only. |
Apart from the Pan African Mission Fund all restricted funds are country specific and include all incoming |
resources that are to be allocated to the country specified. |
