PREAMBLE
The year 2015 was a teaching year with emphasis laid on the teaching church. The theme for the year was “Growing to maturity” taken from Ephesians 4:13b. The emphasis was on the need for the church to go back to the basics of our faith. During the year, the ministry team had a series of teachings on doctrinal issues such as stewardship, sacraments, cults and occultism, and thanksgiving.
The year 2015 was a year of remarkable growth both in the enrolment and engagement of new members into various ministry sectors and activities. We saw the re-establishment and strengthening of the Cell Group ministry which has now been inculcated into the membership training curriculum. This was in line with the Cathedral’s vision of developing spiritual nourishment and fellowship for ministry to the world.
In line with remaining as a teaching church, through the Education and Discipleship Pillar we have developed various manuals which are currently in use. These include the New Believers (discipleship), Pre-marital and School of Prayer classes. We shall continue to review the needs of the Christians and develop more standardized teaching materials.
A child-friendly liturgy has also been developed for use in the Sunday school ministry. Similarly, a children’s hymnal has been developed and will also be adopted for use in this sector.
There was a marked increase in giving with collections totalling KES 171,578,176/- which is an average of KES 14,298,181.33 per month. The increase in the collections is indicative of the church’s growth and the benevolence of our Christians. Church membership grew from 7212 to 8123. This was enhanced by the increased uptake of membership training and registration. We remain immensely grateful for the faithful giving and support, as this makes it possible to propel the Gospel as well as bringing social transformation.
The Cathedral recognizes the need for partners in its work. As such in the year 2015 our partnerships were strengthened in collaboration with various parachurch and non-church organizations including Kenya Student’s Christian Fellowship (KSCF), Childnet Tuamke Fellowship, Kenya Christian Professional Forum (KCPF), CMS Africa, Bible Literacy & Translation Kenya (BTL), I-Serve Africa, First Lady’s Beyond Zero Initiative, CMS Ireland and the Greenhouse Movement, Chicago – USA.
Accordingly, a team of 3 clergy lead by the Provost visited the Greenhouse Movement, Chicago, USA in March 2015 as part of the Cathedral’s international linkages. A reciprocal visit was later made by some clergy/staff of the Greenhouse Movement from 21st to 31st August 2015.
Following the government of Kenya’s inclusion of Kenya Sign Language (KSL) as an official language, the Cathedral began to train clergy and ministry staff in KSL in late 2014. The ministry team is now able to engage with the members of the Deaf congregation.
In addition to this, we mainstreamed the Deaf community into the Cathedral order of services under the leadership of a Cathedral-appointed leader. Members of this congregation underwent membership training and we are now developing catechism materials for baptism and confirmation training for them.
6
The Youth Ministry is experiencing immense growth. From the 22nd to 26th April 2015, we had a youth conference with over 1000 youth attending. This was the first of its kind and has now been established as an annual event. To help with coordinating the activities of the Youth alongside the Youth Pastor, the Cathedral engaged the services of a Youth Coordinator.
Similarly, the Teens’ Ministry celebrated its 10th anniversary with a conference from the 12th to 15th August 2015. In late 2015, we engaged a full time Teens’ Coordinator as we await the appointment of a full time minister.
The Children’s Ministry remained vibrant in the year 2015 with children actively involved in Hospital visitation to Kenyatta National Hospital, VBS outreach to Kayole and Children’s Day of Prayer. In the year 2016, we plan to officially launch the Brigade band, which shall be drawn from the Cathedral’s primary school and Sunday school. Our intention is to develop a band of professionals who can participate in regular as well as special services as opposed to hiring orchestras and bands.
The Social Outreach Ministry (SOM) under the umbrella of the Evangelism and Outreach Pillar had a golf tournament on 20th March 2015 at Vet Lab Sports Club. The tournament, the first of its kind was an initiative created to boost the scholarship fund for needy and deserving students. In May 2016, a similar tournament will be held and we anticipate an increase in involvement of our members. Some of those who have benefited from the scholarship are actively involved in the Cathedral ministry.
As part of the growth of the Cathedral, we saw two full time clergy leave. Rev. Kenneth Ofula (Teens’ Minister) was awarded a Presidential scholarship to Princeton Theological College for a master’s program and Rev. John Ikucha (Pastoral Care & Sacraments Minister) was appointed Provost at All Souls Cathedral, Machakos Diocese. Rev. Joseph Kamau was appointed as a full time minister.
We faced a few security concerns with regard to volunteers serving at the Cathedral. As such, we are now in the process of developing a standardized policy governing the engagement of volunteers in active ministry. A vetting committee has been formed to evaluate all those persons interested in ministry work alongside Clergy and staff of the Cathedral.
We anticipate in the year 2016 to launch two major projects; the Nehemiah wall and the Children and Teens’ Centre (CTC). This is guided by the 50 year master plan for infrastructural developments. A CTC Committee was established in February 2015 headed by Canon John Wairumbi and a ground blessing ceremony led by His Grace the Archbishop held at the proposed CTC grounds on All Saints Day.
It is important to mention here that all outstanding loans and disbursements related to the massive Multi-purpose Hall project have been fully paid. We are therefore not undertaking these new projects with any outstanding loan balances. This was made possible yet again, by the Christians’ faithful and generous giving and support.
In the year 2017, the Cathedral will commemorate its Centenary. In view of this, we established a Cathedral Centenary Celebrations Committee (4Cs) in July 2015 headed by Mr. Karanja Kahia to plan, prepare and steer the celebrations. Different sub-committees are working towards achieving the Centenary Celebrations.
7
In June 2016 our current Archbishop, the Most Rev. Dr. Eliud Wabukala, will retire. As such, the process of transition has begun and the enthronement service of the new Archbishop will be on 3rd July 2016.
We take this opportunity to once again thank the Parochial Church Council (PCC), Trustees, Elders, Clergy and all members of the Cathedral, both laity and staff for their consistent service and dedication in the year 2015. We pray for God’s revitalization, grace and strength in the year 2016 as we continue to provide spiritual nourishment to the world

PROVOST’S REPORT
1. WORSHIP PILLAR
The Worship Pillar ensures that the worship/spiritual needs of the congregation are identified, reviewed and responded to effectively by providing services that are vibrant, enriching and inclusive, while still maintaining the Anglican authenticity. In the year under review, various activities and events that resonate with our objectives were held. The overall effectiveness of the diverse activities is largely summarised by the increase / decrease in church attendance through the year 2015.
Objectives & corresponding activities
Objective 1. To create and develop a liturgy that is vibrant, contemporary and that enhances the worship experiences in the Cathedral.1. In the year 2015, the Cathedral centred its services upon the theme “Growing to Maturity”
taken from Ephesians 4:13. In view of this, a comprehensive preaching plan was developed, integrating contemporary relevant topics and readings with the guidelines of the Anglican lectionary.
2. Child-friendly liturgy – The pillar developed a child-friendly liturgy for adoption in the year 2016.
3. Children’s hymnal – A Children’s hymnal to complement the liturgy was similarly developed for use in the Sunday school.
Objective 2. To create a congregation that values and effectively engages in individual and corporate prayers.1. Prayer ministry – In order to harness the diverse prayer activities of the various prayer ministries,
an intercessory committee was formed and officially launched on 29th November 2015. The pillar will oversee and coordinate this ministry and the foundations of a vibrant prayer ministry at the Cathedral. To this end, a designated room within the Auditorium has been allocated and

book halls for prayers and meetings during their hard time of bereavement;3. The Divine Conference was held from Friday 28th to Sunday 30th August 2015. 4. Police service was held on Sunday 20th December 2015 during the 11.30am service. The main
objective of this service is to minister to and appreciate the police who serve in Nairobi City County. Looking ahead, the last Sunday before Christmas has been adopted as a police service Sunday.
Objective 3. To create an environment in which members show respect for order, systems and place of worship.1. Crèche – in response to the needs of a large constituency of Christians who attend church with
their infants, St. Matthew’s Room was designated for use as the new crèche, with a screen and speakers fitted to ensure that parents are able to follow all services replacing the formerly insufficient facility within the main sanctuary. The crypt is now being used as a choir rehearsal room.
2. Deaf Congregation – in the year under review, the pillar purposed to unify the Deaf service into one congregation under the Cathedral structure. This took place by positively responding to the desire of old members of this sector to disengage from the Cathedral, while still embracing upcoming new members. The Deaf services are held from 11.30am to 1.30pm at St. Philip’s Chapel and one Sunday in a month, the Deaf join the 11.30am service.
Objective 4. To enhance and enrich worship experiences through special services, events, occasions and music.In keeping with our objective to promote events that respond to the spiritual needs of the Christians, the following auxiliary services were held in the year 2015.1.

and laid a good platform for the Christmas Eve, Watch night and Christmas day services which all witnessed record attendances.
8. Diocesan Thanksgiving service which saw a record achievement of over KES. 14,000,000 to the needs of the diocese was held on Sunday, 20th September 2015.
9. Harvest Service was held on Sunday 27th September 2015.
10
Areas requiring improvement1. Organ – comprehensive restorative works need to be done to forestall frequent breakdowns of
the organ in the main sanctuary. 2. Audit of sound and media requirements – an exhaustive audit of the sound and media
requirements of the Cathedral was undertaken and recommendations will be implemented. New equipment for use in worship services will be purchased in the course of the year 2016 in liason with the Procurement and Property committees.
3. Brigade Band – As part of our overall strategic focus in enhanced services and worship experiences, the pillar comprehensively laid down the ground work for the initialization of a children’s brigade band. In the course of the year 2016, it is expected that instruments will be purchased and lessons provided for the initial group of children in the brigade band.
Identified challenges (i) Consistently satisfying all the experiential needs of our diverse congregation. (ii) Inadequate parking space for our members.(iii) Inadequate space for the children’s church/Sunday school. This challenge will be overcome once
we complete the Children and Teens Centre.

4. PASTORAL CARE AND SACRAMENTS PILLAR
The key objective is to provide a strategy for nurture and care to Cathedral congregants across all sectors by providing spiritual and physical care internally and externally, establishing sustainable systems and structures.

• Technology – As we strive to embrace Vision 2030, the computer laboratory has been upgraded to offer hands-on experience in the integration of an ICT curriculum. • Chaplaincy – we have continued to inculcate an ethos of servant leadership through our weekly compulsory chapel-hour sessions and ROPES [Rites of passage] programmes for our teenagers.
22
Co-curricular programmes.In addition to choral singing and the soccer academy, we were able to introduce the following extra-curricular programmes. • Chess – Our new chess club is increasing strategic thinking and the philosophy of always
weighing options amongst our pupils. It has developed in our pupils the habit of anticipating consequences before making critical decisions.
• Customized Physical Education – The ample fields enabled us to increase our range of in- house and outdoor activities in a safe and enjoyable environment that are unique to the specific physical and mental learning needs of each of the All Saints’ pupils.
ChallengesSome of the challenges we have encountered in the year under review are: • Creating awareness – The school continued to struggle with pupil population due to little public
awareness. In order to address this, the school developed a brand building and marketing tool for adoption by the Schools Board, the pupil-parent-teacher fraternity and the Church as a whole.
• Poor Pupil retention – Pupils have continued to transfer to boarding school as they transition into upper primary years. To help alleviate this challenge, tuition rebates have been implemented to encourage families to enroll multiple children per family.
Achievements • Financial stability – the school has been strategically leasing the grounds to specified institutions
for private functions on weekends and during school holidays. • A 10,000 Litre tank has been installed to harvest rainwater which assures us of a constant
supply of water for sanitation in water-closet-use, during the occasional county water rationing operations.
• ICT training for all the teaching staff was facilitated and sponsored by the Cathedral. Every teacher attained a certificate from the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology. This has promoted the quality of use of IT in lesson dispensation in addition to increasing staff morale.
• Well scheduled parents forums coupled with enhanced timely communication were introduced in the year under review. This saw a 50% increase in parental involvement in school activities and an increased interest in the running of the school.
In our endeavour to be a center of excellence in Christian education and leadership development, we continue to convert our challenges into opportunities to reach out to the community and produce well rounded citizens who contribute positively to the transformation of the society at all levels.

PEOPLES’ WARDEN REPORT
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,It is a privilege and honour to present this report once again as your warden. The year 2015 had significant happenings in our congregational life which I can only summarise in a report as brief as this. However, I know in our hearts, we hold the details of these and other events that characterized the life of All Saints’ Cathedral as well as our personal life.
Allow me to thank each one of you for continued support of the ministry in this cathedral through Sunday service attendance and participation in worship, volunteering for ministry work, giving your tithes and offerings as well as prayers. These are all enumerated and presented in the various ministry reports that have been read to us earlier. May the Almighty God who sees what you have done, even in secret, reward you richly, even in the open, to His own glory and honour.
MinistryGlobally, the Anglican Communion has continued in steady growth in numbers and spiritually while at the same time boldly dealing with spiritual liberalism that has threatened to divide it. Thanks be to God that orthodoxy prevailed in January 2016 in London when The Episcopal Church of USA was suspended from the Communion due to its liberal (anti gospel) tendencies. This affirmed that the rest of the Communion is holding on to the true gospel as expected.
In Kenya, the Anglican Church has continued to grow and has also played a leading role, through the Archbishop, His Grace, the Most Rev Dr Eliud Wabukala, in steering the global communion to remain true to the gospel through the GAFCON movement. All Saints’ Cathedral has reached out to other dioceses within Kenya and outside through evangelical missions and reciprocal visits. It is worth noting that members of the congregation have taken an increasingly active role in these activities within the parish and also the diocese of All Saints’ Cathedral.
The ministry at the cathedral was vibrant and grew, as is evidenced by the increased spending on ministry in 2015 compared to previous years, in a manifestation of the theme “Growing to Maturity”. However, a big challenge still remains on how to gauge the spiritual growth resulting from the ministry activities. During the year in review, the Wardens Committee sought to address this by preparing to conduct a baseline congregational survey that would establish the current spiritual position of the congregation to help clergy formulate relevant actions to address identified gaps and spur spiritual growth among the members. This did not happen as the identified tool (REVEALTM) was undergoing a major update and it is expected to be available this year.
Development2015 saw the birth of two key development activities that will define the role of the cathedral in the next centenary that starts in 2017. It is important to note that in these initiatives, the congregation members have not only been involved and their views sought, but are actively leading in the planning and execution of the same. Here is a brief review.
1. The Cathedral Centenary Celebrations 2017The year 2017 marks one hundred years since this cathedral was started. To help in thanking God and celebrating the past century as we anticipate that which is coming, a committee was set up and has so far achieved the following milestones. • The Cathedral Centenary Celebrations Committee (4Cs) was appointed in June 2015, given
terms of reference and commissioned before the congregations of the Cathedral.
24
• In July and August 2015, sub committees were formed and issued with terms of reference and key objectives. The committees were mandated to engage a full complement of members with relevant skills to contribute to their work.
• In October 2016, the Steering Committee submitted comprehensive proposals to the PCC and were given the green light to start formal preparations on every item proposed together with budgets. With this approval, the committees are ready to deliver on their items during 2016.
The Cathedral Centenary falls on February 3, 2017 and there will be a midnight transition service to pass the torch from one generation to the next. Celebrations will continue throughout the centenary year culminating with grand big day on November 2017 All Saints Day when the anniversary will be officially commemorated.
2. The Children’s and Teens Centre (CTC)The cathedral has been blessed with many children who attend Sunday School and the teens who have worship services at the same time as the adult and youth services. However, the facilities for the children and the teens have become far too small and hence the need to create more room for the next generation of Christian worshippers. The milestones for this project are as follows: • Steering Committee inaugurated in February 2015, after which the congregation was socialized
to the proposed project through open forums in March and April 2015. • Children art competition for a worship centre of choice was held in June and July 2015. • Students’ concept design competition in collaboration with University of Nairobi, JKUAT, and
Technical University of Kenya schools of architecture was held between August and October 2015.
• Ground blessing and presentation of the winning concept design competition award was on 1st November 2015.
In 2016, many activities have been lined up including Requests for Proposals (RFP), appointment of consultants, design approval and statutory approvals leading to the proposed ground breaking and Fundraising day on 4th September 2016.
As the congregation you have owned these activities and have responded most favourably by giving your time and talents as well as money towards achieving the stated goals. May God reward you with His riches in glory.
ConclusionAs we thank God for the great things He has continued to do among the congregation of All Saints’ Cathedral, we also sincerely thank the ministry team led by the Provost for the dedicated service they have given in teaching, leading worship, pastoral care, training to equip members for service, and mission. We will gladly and dutifully pray for and follow the ministry team as they follow Christ. May God continue to anoint them to serve in excellence.
We expect to get the sixth Archbishop of the Anglican Church in Kenya and the Bishop of All Saints’ Cathedral Diocese, in the next few months. We are praying for a process that is God-glorifying and that God’s will be done. We thank God for Archbishop Eliud Wabukala who has also been our diocesan bishop since 2009. His godly humility, character, wisdom and influence have been felt in our parish, the diocese, the province of Kenya and internationally within the Anglican Communion through his exemplary servant leadership. As the Chairman of the Primates Council in the GAFCON Movement he has been at the helm of resisting liberalism and proclaiming the supremacy of Christ and His gospel in the Communion. When the time comes, let us all join in wishing him God’s blessings as he takes up his next assignment.
25
Thank you, All Saints’ Cathedral congregation. Kindly accept my sincere appreciation and gratitude for giving me the privilege and opportunity to serve you during the past year. All glory and honour to Him alone.
“And I pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God.” – Colossians 1:10 (NIV)

HON. TREASURER’S REPORT TO THEALL SAINTS’ CATHEDRAL ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31ST DECEMBER, 2015
I PreambleThe Kenya Economic Update published by World Bank in March 2015 revealed that Kenya is one of the fastest growing economies in Sub-Saharan Africa, with a projected growth from 5.4% in 2014 to 6% in 2015.
(a) The domestic economy
In 2015, the economic growth picked up in the third quarter on the back of a solid expansion across most sectors of economic activity with an exception of tourism sector which declined owing to security risks from terrorism.
The Kenyan shilling generally held firmly against major trading currencies despite its depreciation against the US dollar, sterling pound and the euro. The weighted average commercial banks lending rate remained relatively high but stable. The exchange rate was been broadly stable as from October 2015.
The external and internal balances improved significantly owing to the falling oil prices and strong public infrastructure spending. Inflation rose slightly but remained within the Central Bank’s target of 6.72%.
The major challenge experienced was sluggish demand for exports and their declining production which widened the country’s fiscal deficit.
II. All Saints Cathedral Nairobi Audited Accounts 2015The books of the church were audited by Mazars Certified Public Accountants and in their opinion proper books of accounts were kept and the financial statements of the church give a true and fair view the state of affairs of the Church.
(a) All Saints’ Cathedral Church
During the year, the church consistently pursued its vision; “A Cathedral of spiritual nourishment and fellowship for ministry to the world;” through the theme (Growing to maturity). This is in view of the implementation of the strategic plan 2012-2016 whose main theme is “transforming the Cathedral, winning the city, changing the world.” We were able to increase our membership enrollment by 836 members. The financial statements include all the units.
(i) Church Income In the year 2015, we received a total income of Kshs 190,850,103 as compared to Kshs
154,097,990 in 2014. This represents an increase of 24% (Kshs 36,752,113). This increase is as a result of your generous giving of tithes, offerings and also for hiring of the trinity centre and the car park.

Our tithe, thanksgiving and general contributions are as summarized in the graph below:
Generally, we maintained a consistent growth in the giving and we encourage members to continue giving for the overall growth of the Cathedral ministry.

This is a decrease of 49% attributable to the diversion of Gift Sunday proceeds to CTC.

We are optimistic that members will use the facilities more in 2016.

The Parochial Church Council is also responsible for designing, implementing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies and making reasonable accounting estimates that are appropriate in the circumstances. The PCC is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Cathedral.

The PCC is of the opinion that the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the financial affairs of the Cathedral and of its operating results.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBERS OF ALL SAINTS’ CATHEDRAL CHURCH
for the year ended 31 December 2015
Report on the financial statementsWe have audited the financial statements of All Saints’ Cathedral set out on pages 42 to 60 which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2015 and the statement of comprehensive income account, statement of changes in fund balances and statement of cash flow for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Parochial Church Council’s responsibility for the financial statementsThe Parochial Church Council is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes: designing, presentation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditor’s responsibilityOur responsibility is to express an independent opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements, plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Cathedral’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates madeby the Church Council as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
OpinionIn our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of financial affairs of the Cathedral as at 31 December 2015 and of the financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. The Engagement partner responsible for the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is CPA Lucy Gichuki P/No. 1740.

ALL SAINTS’ CATHEDRAL CHURCH
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 December 2015
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out
below. These policies have been consistently applied over the years presented unless otherwise stated:
(a) Basis of preparation The financial statements are prepared in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS’s). The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost basis of accounting and presented in the functional currency Kenya shillings rounded to the nearest shilling.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS’s requires the use of estimates and assumptions. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Cathedral’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement and complexity, or where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 3.
(b) Property, equipment and depreciation Property and equipment are initially stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment
in value.
Depreciation is calculated on straight line basis, at annual rates estimated to write off carrying values of property and equipment over their expected useful lives.
The rates in use are: Organ 12.5% Audio visual equipment 12.5% Computers 30.0% Furniture and equipment 12.5% Generator 12.5% Motor vehicles 25.0% Music equipment 20.0% Public address system 12.5% Buildings on leasehold land over the unexpired lease period (2014 – 25 years)
The carrying values of property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. Impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
Gains and losses on disposal of property and equipment are determined by reference to their carrying amounts and are taken into account in determining the surplus/(deficit) for the year. On disposal of recorded assets, amounts in the revaluation surplus relating to the asset are transferred to the Statement of comprehensive income account.
If any such indications exist and where the carrying values exceed the recoverable amount, property and equipment are written down to their recoverable amounts.
(c) Prepaid operating rentals Payments to acquire leasehold interest in land are treated as prepaid operating lease rentals and are
amortized over the period of the lease.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(d) Special funds Net contributions or costs allocated towards specific projects are credited or debited to the income
statement in the year to which they relate. Costs incurred in the construction of buildings are included in capital work in progress and transferred to property on completion.
Transfers to the special funds relates to funds set aside for major maintenance works and the church organ. The amounts relating to specific projects are transferred back to the general fund at the end of the project.
(e) Capital fund Contributions received for the purchase of property and equipment are taken to a capital fund and
transferred from the general fund over the expected lives of the respective assets.
(f ) General fund This represents amounts which are expendable at the discretion of the Cathedral in furtherance of its
objectives. Such funds may be held in order to finance working capital or capital investment.
(g) Financial assets Financial assets are recognized initially using the trade accounting date which is the date the Cathedral
commits itself to the purchase or sale. Financial assets carried at fair value through statement of comprehensive income are initially recognized at cost.
The Cathedral’s financial assets fall into the following categories: Financial assets at fair value through the statement of comprehensive income. Financial assets are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of generating a surplus from short
term fluctuations in price of dealers’ margin. Such assets are classified as current assets and are carried at fair value where fair value gains or losses are included in the net surplus or deficit for the period.
Receivables: Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market.
Such assets vary classified as current asset where maturities are within 12 months after the balance sheet date. All assets with maturities greater than 12 months after the statement of financial position date are classified as noncurrent assets.
Receivables are classified as trade and other receivables in the statement of financial position. Changes in the carrying amount are recognized in the income statement.
Cash in hand and balances with financial institutions are classified as receivables and are carried at amortized costs.
(h) Foreign currenciy transactions Assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are translated into Kenya Shillings at the rates of
exchange ruling at the dates of the transactions. Gains and losses on exchange are dealt with in the statement of comprehensive income in the period which they arise.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(i) Revenue recognition Income is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Cathedral
and revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must be met before revenue is recognized.
Tithes and offerings are recognized when received or committed by the congregation.
(j) Taxation Provisions for taxation have not been recognized in the financial statements, as the church’s principal
sources of income are not subject to tax.
(k) Retirement benefit costs The Cathedral operates a defined contribution pension scheme for its employees. The Cathedral
contributes to a statutory defined contribution pension scheme, the National Social Security Fund (NSSF). Contributions are determined by local statute and are currently limited to Kshs. 200 per employee per month, with the Cathedral contributing a similar amount. The Cathedral also contributes to a registered provident fund at a rate of 10% of the basic pay per month per employee. Its obligations to the above scheme are charged to the statement of comprehensive income account in the year to which they relate.
(l) Receivables Receivables are carried at original amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. Specific
provision is made for all known doubtful debts. Bad debts are written off when all reasonable steps to recover them have been taken without success.
(m) Payables Payables are stated at their nominal value.
(m) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and cash in. For the purpose of the cash flow statement, the year end cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash and
cash equivalents as defined above.
(o) Contingent liabilities Contingent liabilities are possible obligations whose existence will be confirmed only by uncertain future
events or present obligations where the transfer of economic benefit is uncertain or cannot be reliably measured. Contingent liabilities are not recognized but are disclosed unless they are remote.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT The Cathedral’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk including (foreign exchange
risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Cathedral’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Cathedral’s financial performance.
Risk management is carried out by the management under policies approved by the Cathedral’s Parochial Church Council.
(a) Price risk Price risk arises from the fluctuation in the prices of the commodities that the Cathedral deals
in. Purchase prices are determined by the market forces and other factors that are not within the control of the Cathedral.
(b) Credit risk Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with
banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables.
The utilization of credit limits is regularly monitored. No credit limits were exceeded during the reporting period, and management does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counterparties
None of the financial assets that are fully performing has been renegotiated during the period. Exposure to risk has been quantified in each financial asset note in the financial statements along
with any concentration of risk.
(c) Liquidity risk Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding
through adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Cathedral’s management maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines.
3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors,
including experience of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
Property and equipment Critical estimates are made by the Cathedral in determining depreciation rates for property and
equipment. The rates are set out in note 1 (b) above.
Critical judgments in applying the Cathedral’s accounting policies In the process of applying the Cathedral’s accounting policies, management has made judgements in
determining: • The classification of assets. • Whether assets are impaired.
