Annual Report of the
Parochial Church Council

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Michael, Aughton, Liverpool Registered Charity No 1128623
WELCOME
Dear friends,
In 2022 both Holy Trinity and St Michael’s continued to rebuild the ministry and worship of the church following a disruptive two years. I would like to start by thanking those who faithfully stepped forward to offer their time and prayer in what was another challenging year. Their hard work was seen in the green shoots of new growth as new people attended both churches, as we provided varied styles of creative worship and in doing the mundane things during the week that maintains the churches and keeps them open.
Throughout the year, I would often get positive comments about the times we worshipped together on the first Sunday of the month. To quote Bishop David Shepherd, we are very much ‘better together’. I would also like to express gratitude for the times we have joined with Christchurch, Aughton and St James, Westhead. I have no doubt that we will see ministry and mission blossom with the growing relationship of our neighbouring churches.
Looking ahead, we are confident that both Holy Trinity and St Michael’s are alive because of the enduring presence of the Holy Spirit, who will give us discernment and endurance as we face new challenges. There will always be more than we are able to do and so in 2023 I would like us to focus on the following.
-
Grow a sustainable ministry to the increasing number or our churches who are housebound.
-
Develop the third Sunday of the month into an all-age service and grow the number of children and young families who attend it.
-
Increase the number of volunteers involved in the worship, ministry and maintenance of Holy Trinity and St Michael’s so that it doesn’t always fall onto the same few.
I would like to encourage you all to spend a moment giving thanks for Holy Trinity and St Michael’s and to ask you to think of one new responsibility you could take on this year for your church. We have been called to fellowship with one another for the single purpose of being the church, which means joining in both worship and mission.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
Andrew

We worship the one true God, enjoy and share the fellowship of all our members and friends, and aim to live out the commandment to “love our neighbour as ourselves” through practical care and concern for those in our community.
REPORTS FROM CHURCH GROUPS AND ACTIVITIES
1. Wednesday Fellowship
Fellowship enjoyed a full programme for 2022. We had several speakers we learned about spinning wheels, A lace making pilgrimage, tea testing, and an interesting talk on solar energy, before Stuart went charging round Australia. We look forward to an update in February. The late Queens Platinum Jubilee was celebrated with afternoon tea. In addition to our contribution to Compassion, we supported a charity in Uganda and had our annual collection for the Trussel Trust. Members supported our group led activities and we look forward to our 2023 programme.
Janet Glennon
2. Sunbeams
Sunbeams Baby and Toddler group began in 2021. We meet in the church hall on a Wednesday morning, and I am pleased to say that the group has gone from strength to strength during the last year. An average attendance is 16 families, but we have had over twenty families some weeks, with at least one baby or toddler. We celebrated Advent, lighting our wreath, whilst telling the Nativity story. We had a special visitor Maggie, who accompanied us on the guitar as we sang Christmas carols and choruses. It was good to see some of our members at the Crib Service on Christmas Eve. Sunbeams on Sunday has appealed to a few families, but it is proving to be a much bigger challenge to attract the numbers we get on a Wednesday. So later this month we are beginning Messy Church, an activity-based worship session which we hope will appeal to a wider age range. Please keep us in your prayers as Pam, Andrew and I strive to encourage families across Aughton and beyond to hear the Good News about Jesus.
“But Jesus said, Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for to such belongeth the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 19 v 14

3. Friends of St Michael's Church
The difficult decision for the Friends to make in 2022 was when to restart fundraising activities, when would supporters feel safe and comfortable to meet. It was decided to hold a Swing Evening and Picnic in July. Drinks were enjoyed in the Church yard before listening to Jackie and the Katz Swing Band. During the interval the audience enjoyed a box picnic. Over 100 people attended the evening and a total of £932 was raised.
By October it was felt that the bridge players would feel comfortable to support a Bridge afternoon. Twenty tables of enthusiastic players helped to raise £1,284.
The membership of the Friends remained steady during 2022 and their subscriptions contributed £5,182 towards funds. An additional £482 came from donations and deposit account interest. In total during 2022 the Friends raised £7.885. This enabled the Friends to pay for the maintenance of the Church yard and removal of rubbish at a cost of £4.852. A sum of £3.593 was spent on levelling the path to pavement at the lych-gate and a wall plaque safety survey.
In total £8.445 from the account was used for the ongoing maintenance and upkeep of the Church and the Church Yard. At the beginning of the 2022 the Friends account was £25.965 by the end of the year which was not the easiest due to continuing worries about covid and people mixing, the account was £25.405.
The committee would like to thank members of the congregation who have helped during the year and for the continued support of the members of the Friends whose membership subscriptions are very welcomed and are essential for the on-going work that is needed by our grade one listed Church.

4. Church Fabric Report
(1) General Maintenance
Two dead trees, which were considered a safety risk in the churchyard, were felled by a contractor (see also Hall report). All the church gutters, hoppers and downspouts were cleaned out. The drain which serves the church toilet and kitchen became blocked. The blockage was cleared by an external contractor. The gravestones were inspected, and a record was made of individual gravestone stability.
(2) Theft of York Stone from Church Paths
In the spring a considerable number of paving stones were stolen from the church paths. It was decided, with the agreement of Ecclesiastical Insurance, to retain York stone for the replacements. The work was completed in September. In addition to the path replacement the contractor installed a wheelchair access ramp at the lytch gate entrance. Thanks are due to the ‘Friends of St Michaels’ for providing the funds for the ramp. Denis O’Brien organised the whole project and our thanks are due to him for all the hard work entailed.
(3) Fallen Memorial
A memorial marble plaque fell from the wall in the northwest corner of the north aisle and caused considerable damage to surrounding pews. It was decided to rope off any pews adjacent to other wall hung memorials in the church. A report was commissioned from a firm of consulting engineers who had been recommended by the church architect. Blackett-Ord Conservation recommended that additional support
should be provided where there were signs of corrosion in existing support brackets. It was agreed that all wall-hung memorials should be fitted with supplementary support. Burleigh Stone have been contracted to do this work which should take place early in 2023.
(4) Quinquennial Inspection
Rebecca Grimshaw of Anthony Grimshaw Associates, our church architect, undertook the inspection on July 5th, 2022. A list of recommendations appended to the report were discussed with Tom Beesley, the Diocesan Buildings Adviser, on Nov 14th, 2022. He was satisfied with the progress that the Fabric committee had already made in addressing the work required and the plans for the remainder of the quinquennium.
Graveyard Report
The grass is cut at regular intervals by a gardening contractor. Members of the congregation and parish maintain flower beds and the garden of rest. Leaves are collected and pathways kept clear. It was found that a considerable cost saving could be made by using the services of West Lancashire Borough Council to collect garden waste and general waste. Garden waste can be placed in a conventional brown bin at the Stanley Arms entrance or a second bin at the lytch gate entrance. Brown bins are emptied every fortnight. General waste is collected in a green bin located at the Stanley Arms entrance. This bin is emptied weekly. The bins are labelled appropriately to assist graveyard users to select the correct bin for their waste.
Inspections and Servicing
The church bells were inspected and passed fit for ringing. The central heating boiler was serviced and tested for gas safety. The fire extinguishers were tested and serviced as required and portable appliances tested. The intruder alarm system was serviced. Ladders were inspected at three monthly intervals. The annual asbestos inspection was completed. The church is cleaned weekly by a team of church members and their efforts are always commented on favourably by the church architect. Thanks, are also due to members of the congregation and the parish who have kept the graveyard and garden areas as an attractive landmark in Aughton.
5. Church Hall Fabric Report
Painting of the exterior woodwork postponed from the previous year was completed in the Spring. Several dead trees, which were considered a safety risk, were felled by a contractor.
Inspections and Servicing
The Buildings Manager provided some hanging baskets and planted flowers in the flower beds. The appearance of the Hall area was greatly enhanced. Trees were planted to commemorate the late Queen Elizabeth’s platinum jubilee. The gutters were cleaned, and shrubs and hedges trimmed. A brown bin licence was obtained from WLBC to enable leaves, hedge trimmings and other green waste to be disposed of. The central heating boilers were serviced and tested for gas safety. Portable appliances were tested. The fire alarm system was serviced. Fire alarm call points and emergency lighting were tested at specified intervals. Ladders were inspected at three monthly intervals. On behalf of the PCC, we would like to thank everyone who assists in running the Hall.

Financial Review – 2022
The Corvid-19 Pandemic of 2020/21coming to an end, meant the Church could start operating normally again. The total Income of £137K against Expenditure of £134K produced an Operating Profit of £3,424 , not been seen for many years. Unfortunately, the Investment Bond decreased in value by £10,302 which changed the Operating Profit to a Capital Loss off £6,580. As the Accounting System has now been changed from Accruals to Receipts & Payments , the benefit of accruing £5,199 for 9months Gift Aid Claim and £1,245 for Small Donations Gift Aid Scheme meant the benefit of £6,444 has been postponed to being received and accounted for in 2023. Under the old system the accounts would have broken even after an Operating Profit of 9,868 in the book-keeping. Again, these figures are assisted by four more Legacies totalling £10.4K which enabled the Bank Account to stay in credit whilst paying the monthly bills including a reduced Parish Share of £6,293pm (£71,522 for the year).
The Christmas Lantern & Carol Fair was able to function again this year plus a Harvest Hot Pot Quiz. The Friends of St Michael were able to provide a Bridge Afternoon and a Jazz Band event in Church. These monies plus accumulated funds were used to pay £3,600 to cover some Church Building costs and £4,900 to cover upkeep of the Graveyard . The automated Subscriptions to the Friends allowed this to happen and we are thankful to the all the people involved and the work put in by the Committee.
The Church Hall has been maintained and kept to a high standard by the Church Buildings Manager. His dedication and hard work have made the Hall a pleasant place in which to hold functions as is shown by the Hall Rent income doubling to £10.597 for the year . He has made many improvements to the Hall grounds and gardens by installing and upkeeping many shrubs and ornamental fixings. His idea to outline the Stone Cross inset on the front wall of the Hall with lights, has become a permanent and welcomed feature. The PCC latterly purchased twelve stacking chairs with arms on to assist people with getting out of the seats. A profit of £583 was made for the year.
The Financial Outlook for 2023 is greatly improved now that the Church is working normally. As always, we must rely on the Parish Giving Scheme and Standing Order plus Envelope Offerings to sustain our regular income. These manual schemes will have to be transferred to the Parish Giving Scheme in the near future to allow OUR DAILY BOOKKEEPING SYSTEMS TO WORK MORE EFFICIENTLY. For example, there are now 14 different slots in which DONATIONS are to be allocated to enable the Small Donations Gift Aid Scheme and Gift Aided Donations to operate correctly. We are to join the On-Line Banking System newly operated by the Diocese to allow our recently formed Finance Team to function. This will spread out the work presently carried out by the PCC Treasurer
Fund raising activities will continue again in 2023 by the Friends of St Michael and the usual Fairs etc. These plus Legacies should allow the payment in full of our Parish Share for the year. Our Bond Reserves have decreased to £57K, but we expect the Bond to increase in value quite rapidly in 2023. These monies are available to the PCC which should still ensure our sustained viability as a Church serving the Community of Aughton.
Reserves Policy - 2023
We can only have a Reserves policy if we have sufficient income to more than cover our outlay. Therefore, the only Reserves we have to call upon are represented by the Investment Bond value. It is presently worth £68K of which £12K is an Endowment, leaving £57K as PCC Reserves.
Funds Available
The Notes to the Financial Statements, Page 2-13 show that PCC Unrestricted Fixed and Current Assets total some £93.5K. i.e. (The Aberdeen Multi-Manager Ethical Bond of £57K + Unrestricted net Current Assets £15.5K + Designated Deposit Balance of £21K). Therefore, the available “Free Funds” after allowing for Reserves as above is £36.5K as at 31 December 2022. (The Parish Share alone costs £6,240 per month which will be paid out the next day, leaving £30K for 2023 ).
Financial Plans for the Future
The PCC are taking an active part in the future plans laid out by the Ormskirk Parish Deanery to grow our Churches. Our newly formed Finance Team will attend instruction courses at St James’s House to enable the Parish Finances to be run more efficiently and to spread the work out between several persons.We intend to continue promoting the activities of The Friends of St Michael and to promote the use of Legacies.
Brian DeVonald – PCC Treasurer.
RISK MANAGEMENT 2022.
Finance.
The PCC acted as Financial Agent for the following people/organisations:-
Liverpool Diocesan Board of Finance re Clergy Fees.
Fees for Bell Ringers, Organists, Sides Persons at Weddings.
Fees for Organists, Sides Persons, and Grave Diggers at Funerals.
Special Collections for :-
Children’s Society, Compassion Child Sponsors, Litherland Schools Clothes, Salvation Army Clothes, Skelmersdale Food Bank, Traidcraft.
- Financial Risk Rating:
High impact x Low likelihood = Medium Risk
Our Reserves of £57K is available for any emergencies and maintenance required under the Quinquennial Inspection work identified in 2023; especially as the Friends of St Michael have accumulated funds of £25K to help towards Church Fabric.
The church funds are held on current account with Santander Bank, and on call with the C of E Central Board of Finance. The existing £50K Ethical Investment Bond now valued at £68K, is run by Standard Aberdeen Multi-Manager Ethical Investments, and is regarded as holding the Reserves plus the £12K Miss Holmes Endowment. This is considered to be an appropriate and safe spread. Cash is kept in the Church safe (for short periods of time), no loose cash is left in the Church. All Plate and Envelope Donations are counted under Dual Control. All valuables are kept in a wall-safe, which itself is kept in the locked Vestry room, the keys of which are held by appointed persons.
Brian DeVonald - PCC Treasurer
Operational Risk Rating:-
High impact x Low likelihood = Medium Risk
Should the Church building be unusable, services can be held in the Church Hall, which is situated on the opposite side of Church Lane to the Church buildings. A locked Hall Office will serve as a place to count monies and store valuables temporarily.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT (SORP 2015) to the PCC of St. Michael, Aughton For the year ended 31[st] . December 2022 ,
as set out on pages (2-1) to (2-23) of the Annual Report.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The PCC are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent Examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the PCC concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: Accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST MICHAEL - AUGHTON Page 2 –4 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31st December 2022
Accounting Policies:- .
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 together with applicable accounting standards and the SORP 2005. The Accounts for 2022 have been changed from an ACCRUALS System to a RECEIPTS & PAYMENTS System.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for 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 main affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.
Funds :-
Endowment Funds are funds, the capital of which must be maintained; only income arising from investment of the endowment may be used as either restricted or unrestricted funds depending upon the purpose for which the endowment was established. The Endowment Funds are now part of the Aberdeen Standard Multi-Manager Ethical Investment Fund.
Restricted funds represent (a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest, and (b) donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each year must be carried forward as a balance on that fund. The PCC does not usually invest separately for each fund. Where there is no separate investment, interest is apportioned to individual restricted funds on an average daily balance basis.
Designated Funds are Unrestricted Funds which the PCC has decided to distinguish apart from other monies so that they may be used for special ongoing purposes from time to time. These funds can be reallocated for any other purpose at any time as the PCC sees fit. Where there is no separate investment, interest is apportioned to individual designated funds on an average daily balance basis.
Unrestricted funds are general funds which can be used for PCC ordinary purposes.
Incoming Resources:-
Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Accrual for 2022 has not been made for the Tax Refund due on that part of Gift Aid monies which is not received via the Parish Giving Scheme, from 6[th] April to 31st December annually. Instead this Refund Claim will be made in 2023 and added to 2023 Accounts .when received. Grants and Legacies are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, as is Interest. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross.
Resources Expended:-
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that reward creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. Amounts received specifically for mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross.
Fixed Assets:-
Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts with s.96 (2)(a) of the Charities Act 1993. Movable church furnishings held by the vicar and 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). For anything acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements. Subsequently no individual item has cost more than £1,000 so all such expenditure has been written off when incurred. Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight-line basis over four years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £500 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.
Current Assets:-
Short-term deposits include cash held on deposit either with the CBF Church of England Funds or at a Bank.
Investment s:-
Investments are valued at market value at 31[st] . December.

The Friends of St Michael (a sub section of the PCC) opening balance of £25,968 has decreased to £25,405 after paying £8,445 out for Church Fabric and Churchyard maintenance costs. This was helped by the automated annual subscriptions. One Bridge Drive was held in 2022.raising £1,284 and a Jazz afternoon held in Church to raise another£1,561.
The Endowment Monies
Which require the Capital to remain intact consist of the Miss Holmes Legacy – £12000. The interest is used for General Maintenance. The Endowment Fund is now part of the Investment Bond, see Page (2-7). The Bond Value now represents our Reserves and the Endowment Fund.

NB:- The Unrestricted funds were monies donated by the PCC from the Church funds to various charities. This year the PCC again decided, on the Treasurer’s advice, that as we must continue to ensure full payment of our Parish Share (£71,522 p.a), we cannot afford to pay any more Charity Gifts until we are breaking even. without relying on the Investment Bond increases. We cannot continue making operational losses every year, hoping they will get covered by increases in Investment Bond value or by Legacies. Even so our Cash Resources decrease every year as the Bond Capital hopefully increases.
The PCC has requested various in-house groups of St Michaels to sponsor one of the Charities above, by means of small regular donations or by other means which have proved successful as shown above. The Child Sponsorship is donated money paid by Direct Debit to “Compassion UK” re four overseas children. The Contra Payments are monies (£339 in total) collected by the Parishioners for special charity fund raising events, and are not part of the Church Accounts.

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST. MICHAEL – AUGHTON Page 2 - 22 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) for the year ended 31[st] December 2022. Financial Review – 2022
The Corvid-19 Pandemic of 2020/21coming to an end, meant the Church could start operating normally again. The total Income of £137K against Expenditure of £134K produced an Operating Profit of £3,424 .which has not been seen for many years
Unfortunately, the Investment Bond decreased in value by £10,302 which changed the Operating Profit to a Capital Loss off £6,580. As the Accounting System has now been changed from Accruals to Receipts & Payments , the benefit of accruing £5,199 for 9months Gift Aid Claim and £1,245 for Small Donations Gift Aid Scheme meant the benefit of £6,444 has been postponed to being received and accounted for in 2023. Under the old system the accounts would have broken even after an Operating Profit of 9,868 in the book-keeping. Again, these figures are assisted by four more Legacies totalling £10.4K which enabled the Bank Account to stay in credit whilst paying the monthly bills including a reduced Parish Share of £6,293pm (£75,522 for the year).
The Christmas Lantern & Carol Fair was able to function again this year plus a Harvest Hot Pot Quiz. The Friends of St Michael were able to provide a Bridge Afternoon and a Jazz Band event in Church. These monies plus accumulated funds were used to pay £3,600 to cover some Church Building costs and £4,900 to cover upkeep of the Graveyard . The automated Subscriptions to the Friends allowed this to happen and we are thankful to the all the people involved and the work put in by the Committee.
The Church Hall has been maintained and kept to a high standard by the Church Buildings Manager. His dedication and hard work has made the Hall a pleasant place in which to hold functions as is shown by the Hall Rent income doubling to £10.597 for the year . He has made many improvements to the Hall grounds and gardens by installing and upkeeping many shrubs and ornamental fixings. His idea to outline the Stone Cross inset on the front wall of the Hall with lights, has become a permanent and welcomed feature. The PCC latterly purchased twelve stacking chairs with arms on to assist people with getting out of the seats. A profit of £583 was made for the year.
The Financial Outlook for 2023 is greatly improved now that the Church is working normally. As always, we must rely on the Parish Giving Scheme and Standing Order plus Envelope Offerings to sustain our regular income. These manual schemes will have to be transferred to the Parish Giving Scheme in the near future to allow OUR DAILY BOOK KEEPING SYSTEMS TO WORK MORE EFFICIENTLY. For example, there are now 14 different slots in which DONATIONS are to be allocated to enable the Small Donations Gift Aid Scheme and Gift Aided Donations to operate correctly. We are to join the On-Line Banking System newly operated by the Diocese to allow our recently formed Finance Team to function. This will spread out the work presently carried out by the PCC Treasurer
Fund raising activities will continue again in 2023 by the Friends of St Michael and the usual Fairs etc. These plus Legacies should allow the payment in full of our Parish Share for the year. Our Bond Reserves have decreased to £57K, but we expect the Bond to increase in value quite rapidly in 2023. These monies are available to the PCC which should still ensure our sustained viability as a Church serving the Community of Aughton.
Reserves Policy - 2023
We can only have a Reserves policy if we have sufficient income to more than cover our outlay. Therefore the only Reserves we have to call upon are represented by the Investment Bond value. It is presently worth £68K of which £12K is an Endowment, leaving £57K as PCC Reserves.
Funds Available
The Notes to the Financial Statements, Page 2-13 show that PCC Unrestricted Fixed and Current Assets total some £93.5K. i.e. (The Aberdeen Multi-Manager Ethical Bond of £57K + Unrestricted net Current Assets £15.5K + Designated Deposit Balance of £21K). Therefore, the available “Free Funds” after allowing for Reserves as above is £36.5K as at 31 December 2022. (The Parish Share alone costs £6,240 per month which will be paid out the next day, leaving £30K available for 2023 ).
Financial Plans for the Future
The PCC are taking an active part in the future plans laid out by the Ormskirk Parish Deanery to grow our Churches. Our newly formed Finance Team will attend instruction courses at St James’s House to enable the Parish Finances to be run more efficiently and to spread the work out between several persons.
We intend to continue promoting the activities of The Friends of St Michael and to promote the use of Legacies.

- Financial Risk Rating:
High impact x Low likelihood = Medium Risk
Our Reserves of £57K is available for any emergencies and maintenance required under the Quinquennial Inspection work identified in 2023; especially as the Friends of St Michael have accumulated funds of £25K to help towards Church Fabric.
The church funds are held on current account with Santander Bank, and on call with the C of E Central Board of Finance. The existing £50K Ethical Investment Bond now valued at £68K, is run by Standard Aberdeen Multi-Manager Ethical Investments, and is regarded as holding the Reserves plus the £12K Miss Holmes Endowment. This is considered to be an appropriate and safe spread. Cash is kept in the Church safe (for short periods of time), no loose cash is left in the Church. All Plate and Envelope Donations are counted under Dual Control. All valuables are kept in a wall-safe, which itself is kept in the locked Vestry room, the keys of which are held by appointed persons.

Operational Risk Rating:-
High impact x Low likelihood = Medium Risk
Should the Church building be unusable, services can be held in the Church Hall, which is situated on the opposite side of Church Lane to the Church buildings. A locked Hall Office will serve as a place to count monies and store valuables temporarily.
The Annual Report for the year 2022 was approved by the PCC on 21[st] March 2023 and signed on its behalf by:-
INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT (SORP 2015)
to the PCC of St. Michael, Aughton
For the year ended 31st. December 2022 ,
as set out on pages (2-1) to (2-23) of the Annual Report.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The PCC are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
• examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
• to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission
-
(under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and
-
• to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent Examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the PCC concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
Accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act
or the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
