## **Financial Statements for the Year ended 31 December 2023**
## **Financial Summary**
The accounts for 2023 show that for the 12 months to the end of December there was a surplus on the parish accounts of £8,209 before taking account of the movement in value of the endowment investments. A gain on the valuation of the investments of £8,649 resulted in an overall surplus of £16,858.
## **Detailed explanation of the full year results**
Income from unrestricted funds was above expectations mainly due to a successful trading year for the parish hall. The General fund generated a shortfall of £1,847 while the parish hall made a surplus of £9,207.
The figure for planned giving is very encouraging in the current circumstances and I am grateful to all those who have continued to give by standing order as well as to those who have set up new standing orders.
The Parish Hall had a successful year with income totalling £26,777 from regular hirers and casual bookings. The increased use of the hall by other community organisations as well as for private events reflects the efforts of the parish hall management team.
General fund costs of £118,917 are £1,751 higher than 2022 mainly due to higher running costs in particular higher utility bills and administration costs.
## **Reserves**
Unrestricted cash reserves available to spend now increased by some £9,500 to £59,575. These are available to cover future costs of repairs and maintenance to our churches and parish hall as well as future shortfalls in income. It is the PCC’s policy to maintain unrestricted reserves sufficient to fund three months expenditure.
The Parish holds £5,343 of restricted reserves and £121,652 of endowment reserves.
Funds not required immediately are invested in either the Diocesan General Deposit Account, the CBF Church of England Deposit fund, the CBF Church of England Investment Fund or the COIF Investment Fund managed by CCLA Investment Management Ltd.

The notes on pages 5 to 14 form part of these accounts.
## **Notes to the Financial Statements**
**1. Accounting policies**
## **Basis of preparation**
The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS102. The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006, governing the individual accounts of PCCs, and with the Regulations’ “true and fair view” provisions, together with FRS102 (2016) as the applicable accounting standards and the 2016 version of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP(FRS102)).
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value. The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.
## **Funds**
## _Unrestricted funds_
These represent the income funds of the PCC that are available for spending on the general purposes of the PCC, including amounts designated by the PCC for fixed assets for its own use or for spending on a future project.
## _Restricted funds_
These are income funds that must be spent on restricted purposes.
## _Endowment funds_
These are restricted funds that must be retained as trust capital either permanently or subject to a discretionary power to spend capital as income, and where the use of any income or other benefit derived from the capital may be restricted or unrestricted.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements continued.**
## **Recognition of income and endowments**
## _Income_
Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the income to which they relate is received. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross.
## _Expenditure_
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC. The diocesan Parish share is accounted for when due. All other expenditure is recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross.
## **Assets**
Consecrated and beneficial property of any kind is excluded from the accounts by Section 10(2) (a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011.
Depreciation on fixed asset properties has not been provided in these accounts as any charge is not considered material, on the basis that the asset has either, a very long useful life; or a residual value, based on its current value, which is not materially different from its carrying value.
Moveable church furnishings held by the churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal, are inalienable property, listed in the church’s inventory which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). No inalienable property was acquired in 2022 and 2023.
All expenditure incurred in the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings or on the repair of moveable church furnishings is written off.
Investments are valued at market value at the year end.
5
## **Notes to the Financial Statements continued.**
Short term deposits include cash held on deposit either with the CBF Church of England Funds, with the Diocese or at HSBC bank.
Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £500 or less are written off when the asset is acquired. The organs at All Saints and Upnor are being depreciated on a straight-line basis over 25 years and equipment used within the church premises on a straightline basis over 4 years. Parish hall fixtures and fittings are being depreciated over 10 years on a straight-line basis.
