REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

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 2022. 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 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives

The charity's objectives are to promote and assist the work and purposes of the Church in Wales in the Diocese of Bangor. The Diocese of Bangor is committed to three visionary principles: worshipping God; growing the Church; and loving the world. These principles describe the diocese's deepest hopes and ambitions, expressing the permanent essence of our common life. Assessing the diocese today through the lens of these long-term principles, three urgent and clear priorities have also been identified: nurturing disciples; growing new ministries; and welcoming children, young people and families. These priorities describe vital areas of contemporary focus. In order to make manifest these principles and to meet these priorities, the diocese has committed to planning in three key areas: mission; property; and finance. Planning in these three areas by each of the diocese's Ministry Areas will enable each Ministry Area to demonstrate in practical ways the meaning of the principles and priorities within their common life. Three platforms (Ministry Areas; archdeaconries; and re-shaped diocesan structures) now enable the diocese to plan meaningfully, and to bring its principles and priorities truly to life.

Significant activities

The charity sets the quinquennial diocesan budget, receives the annual grant from the Representative Body of the Church in Wales, and oversees the collection of the Bishop's Ministry Fund (contributions from churches towards diocesan expenditure on ministry). The charity employs the staff team that form Tîm Deiniol, based at T? Deiniol in Bangor and elsewhere in the diocese.

Public benefit

The trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in deciding the activities undertaken during the year. The trustees are satisfied that the information provided in the report and accounts meets the public benefit reporting requirements.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

The main thrust of the charity's activities continues to focus on the provision of ordained leadership for the churches of the diocese, and appropriate support for these leaders, especially in the fields of property and finance. The charity has also continued to seek to align its resources to the diocesan principles, including by continuing to invest in nurturing vocations, professional skills, colleagueship and collegiality.

Investment performance

The value of the charity's investments declined during the year, reflecting the downturn in the Stock Market.

Internal and external factors

The overall number of people attending churches in the diocese has remained static, although within the context of a long-term downward trend. However, an upward trend in the number of families involved in the life of local churches, as well as in the number of those attending acts of worship on days other than Sunday, has continued.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

During the year both the Restricted and Unrestricted Funds have decreased The restricted element has decreased from £1,534,074 in December 2021 to £1,331,254 as at December 2022. The Unrestricted Reserves have decreased from £5,671,558 to £5,320,702 in the same period.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Principal funding sources

The principal funding source is income from the Bishop's Ministry Fund. The Bishop's Ministry Fund system replaced the Parish Share system in 2015, and contributions from Ministry Areas towards the Bishop's Ministry Fund in each subsequent year have been consistently strong. That said, the broad-based and longer-term impact of the pandemic on aspects of the financial sustainability of Ministry Areas has still fully to be understood. Moreover, the reliance in some contexts upon the use of invested funds to meet Bishop's Ministry Fund commitments continues to cause concern. The trustees acknowledge with thanksgiving the generosity and stewardship that allow funds to be made available to meet the cost of ministry, but are also committed to offering greater support to address issues of financial sustainability, and to budgeting with sensitivity and realism for the coming decade, mindful of the balance between fixed costs and more flexible components of expenditure. A secondary funding source is the annual grant from the Representative Body of the Church in Wales. The trustees look forward to clarity surrounding the value of the grant from the delayed end of the current funding quinquennium in 2023.

Investment policy and objectives

The trustees seek a level of investment income that is able to support a range of important charitable activities at a time of change, recognising that achieving such a level of income may, in the case of some investments, pose some challenges to the secondary goal of maintaining capital value. The trustees work with their investment managers to assess the ethical dimensions of their investment portfolio, prioritising the use of shareholder rights to achieve the advancement of a progressive ethical agenda through the investment portfolio.

Reserves policy

The trustees' objective is to maintain an operational reserve of approximately 3 months' expenditure, alongside an expendable endowment geared to provide investment income that is able to support a range of important charitable activities.

FUTURE PLANS

The trustees will continue to focus their resources on activities that support the diocese's clearly articulated principles, plans and platforms, recognising that stability in terms of the overall framework is significant at a time of major change and challenge for Ministry Areas and congregations. However, the trustees will also engage in proactive activity to support new programmes that enhance the support offered for the diocese's principles and priorities. These twin aspects of supporting deeply rooted, inherited components of diocesan life and supporting new pioneering and chaplaincy ventures, and supporting both aspects through coal-face staffing and infrastructure support, form the framework for the charity's budgeting.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Recruitment of new trustees

In addition to ex-officio trustees, new trustees are recruited to maintain a balance of skills and experience, as well as an appropriate representation of ordained and lay representatives.

Organisational structure

The Board of Trustees generally has between twelve and fourteen members. The trustees meet on average four times a year to review progress and to plan for the future. The trustees are also members of the Diocesan Conference Standing Committee, and reflect on the Standing Committee’s business at the beginning of each of their meetings.

Decision making

The decision-making role of the trustees in supported by preparatory work by Tîm Deiniol and the Bishop's Council, and by conferring within archidiaconal Synods and the Cadfan Group of licensed clergy. The alignment in membership between the trustees and the membership of the Diocesan Conference Standing Committee also ensures that decisions about the use of resources are fully informed by the Standing Committee's oversight of broad strategic considerations.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Induction and training of new trustees

New trustees are inducted through a series of meetings with Tîm Deiniol, the Bishop's Council and the Auditors. Trustees are briefed on new charity law developments as they arise, and are given updates on the current issues facing the charity during their regular meetings.

Key management remuneration

Remuneration of the charity's key management personnel is located within the context of the remuneration structure of Tîm Deiniol more broadly, and with reference both to the remuneration arrangements for the clerical leadership of the diocese and the pay structure of the Representative Body of the Church in Wales.

Wider network

The charity supports the life and witness of the Diocese of Bangor, led by the Bishop of Bangor and governed by the Bishop in collaboration with the Diocesan Conference. The Diocese of Bangor is one of six dioceses of the Church in Wales. Given the charity's role in organising and providing funds for the Diocese of Bangor, it works closely with the Representative Body of the Church in Wales. The Representative Body holds assets in trust on behalf of the archbishop, bishops, clergy and laity of the Church in Wales - currently some 1,500 churches, 650 parsonage houses and £370 million of investments.

Related parties

Due to the nature of the charity's operations and the composition of the Board of Trustees it is inevitable that transactions will take place with organisations in which a member may have an interest. All transactions involving organisations in which a trustee may have an interest are conducted at arm’s length. The charity has a policy that all trustees must declare an interest if a related party transaction occurs.

Risk management

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees (who are also the directors of Bangor Diocesan Board of Finance Bwrdd Cyllid Esgobaeth Bangor 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) including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".

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

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF BANGOR DIOCESAN BOARD OF FINANCE BWRDD CYLLID ESGOBAETH BANGOR

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Bangor Diocesan Board of Finance Bwrdd Cyllid Esgobaeth Bangor (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 December 2022 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), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.

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

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.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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:

Page 6

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF BANGOR DIOCESAN BOARD OF FINANCE BWRDD CYLLID ESGOBAETH BANGOR

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.

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:

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.

Page 7

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF BANGOR DIOCESAN BOARD OF FINANCE BWRDD CYLLID ESGOBAETH BANGOR

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.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Based on our understanding of the charitable company and the environment in which it operates, we considered the risk of acts by the charitable company that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud, and designed audit procedures in response to this risk. We focussed on laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011.

Our tests included:

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. The more removed that financial transactions are from the laws and regulations, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of trustees and management, and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those resulting from errors, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

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 2022

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 2019)', 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, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

Income

All income is recognised 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 recognised 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.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

Certain expenditure is directly attributable to specific activities and has been included in those cost categories. Certain other costs, which are attributable to more than one activity, are apportioned across cost categories on the basis of an estimate of the proportion of time spent by staff on those activities or estimated usage.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

No depreciation is provided on freehold property because the trustees consider that the life of the property and its residual value are such that depreciation is not material. Any impairment in the carrying value of fixed assets is charged against the profit and loss account.

Investments

All listed investments are stated at market value at the balance sheet date. The movement in valuation of investments is shown in the Statement of Financial Activities and comprises both realised and unrealised gains and losses.

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.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Fund accounting

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.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Related parties

Due to the nature of the charity's operations and composition of the board of trustees it is inevitable that transactions will take place with organisations in which a member may have an interest. All transactions involving organisations in which a trustee may have an interest are conducted at arm's length. The Charity has a policy that all trustees must declare an interest if a related party transaction occurs.
