Auditors appointed by the United Kingdom’s Charity Commission to review
the accounts of the UK branch of the popular Christ Embassy, have raised
eyebrows over suspicious payments worth N2.14 billion (£4.28 million)
made to companies and organisation closely related to the church in
2013.
UK authorities have previously raised concerns over controversial expenditures made by the church.
On 11 August 2014, the Charity Commission, which is the regulator of
charities in England and Wales, side-lined the church’s board of
trustees and appointed an interim manager, Rod Weston of the
international audit and accounting firm, Mazars, to take over the
management of the church.
The decision to suspend the church’s board of trustees follows the
discovery of controversial payments worth N1.8 billion (£3.6 million) to
overseas entities between 2008 and 2012.
At the time, the Charity Commission, issued a statement that it had
opened a statutory inquiry to investigate Christ Embassy over “a number
of serious concerns relating to the use of charitable funds, in
particular large connected party payments and the potential
misapplication of grant funding”.
The commission said it was not convinced that the church had been prudent in managing its finances.
Subsequently, the UK tax authority, HM Revenue and Customs, withheld
N711.4 million (£ 2.7 million) due to the church in donation between
2008 and 2012 until the conclusion is resolved.
But details of the 2013 financial statement, which was approved on 22
January, 2016 and released recently, show that the church aggravated
payments similar to those the Charity Commission had flagged as
suspicious.
According to Jacob Cavenagh and Skeet, the independent auditors, the
church made a total income of £14.1 million in 2013 but had an
expenditure of £15.9 million. Part of the expenditure was made to
companies and organisations with close relation to the church.
