Notes to the Accounts

1. Basis of accounting

The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 in accordance with FRS102 (Charities SORP (FRS102)) and the Charities Act 2011

2. Funds

The funds held constitute: General Funds held for any purpose of the Church which are Unrestricted. Restricted funds which are held for a narrower purpose including those for internal organisations. There are also the following Endowment funds as listed. Details of each material fund are disclosed in the Reserves Policy . Any funds may be represented by more than just cash.

3. Accounting policies

Basis

These accounts have been prepared on the basis of historical cost except that investments are shown at their market value at the end of the year, on the accruals basis to show a true and fair view of the Church'’s financial position and activities.

Income

Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the Church becomes entitled to the resources, and the trustees are reasonably certain they will receive the resources; and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Expenditure

This is recognised when a liability is incurred, or a constructive obligation arises, that results in the payment being unavoidable. Liabilities are recognised as soon as an outflow of economic benefit is considered more likely than not under the legal or constructive obligation committing the Circuit to pay out resources.

Grants

Grants made by the Church from its own funds are recognised in full at the time of agreement or when the Church accepts that there is a legal or operational obligation to make the payment. When the grant is recurrent over more than one year the balance payable in future years is treated as a provision for future commitments in the Balance Sheet against the appropriate fund, the provision being released in future years as instalments are paid in accordance with the originally agreed terms.

VAT

Since the Church is not VAT registered, all input VAT is charged with the expenses to which it refers.

Tangible fixed assets for use by the Church

These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and individually cost at least £1,000.

Investment Properties

Investment properties - no property is currently deemed to not be held for the long term purposes of the charity.

Investments

Investments are valued in the balance sheet at market value at the year end. Investment income is included in the accounts when receivable and any gains or losses on revaluation at the year end are shown in the SOFA.

Debtors and Prepayments

Debtors include outstanding lettings invoices in August.

Creditors

Creditors includeoutstandings relatimng to utilities, telephones, etc in August.

Wilmslow Church

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity 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 you as Trustees 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 matter has come to my attention:

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the Charities Act 2011.
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act

have not been met; or

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011;
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section

RESERVES POLICY of WILMSLOW Methodist Church

Church Council

1. General Fundsheld at Y/E 31/08/22	£53,649

2. Restricted and Designated Fundsheld at Y/E 31/08/22	£28,877

3. Endowment Fundsheld at Y/E 31/08/22	£0

The Reserve Funds held by the Church are set out below. The Funds are described as Unrestricted where they can be used for any Church purpose, Designated where the Church Council has determined they should be applied for a particular purpose or Restricted where the use of the funds is proscribed by some form of legally binding rules. The level of individual Reserves and of the total Reserves held is monitored by the Finance Committee on an ongoing basis. The Finance Committee seeks to ensure that adequate but not excessive Reserves are held for the anticipated needs of the Church. They then make

recommendations from their review to the Church Council which determines any actions to be taken as a result.

4. General Fund (Unrestricted)

The General Fund comprises the accumulated surpluses and deficits on our normal income and expenditure. We aim to hold around four months’ average expenditure (about £30,000) to allow for variations in cash flows and the risk of loss of short-term letting income from church rooms. At the year end the balance was £53,649 after donating £10,000 to the Ministers Pension Fund Reserve.

5. Benevolent Fund (Restricted)

The Benevolent Fund is held to allow the Minister to make small payments to needy people who approach the Church for urgent assistance. We aim to hold at least £100 in this fund and top it up through retiring collections. At the year end the balance was £356. There was no activity on this fund during the year.

6. Property Fund (Designated)

The Property Fund is held to provide for major repair and refurbishment expenditure for the building. We aim to hold £20,000 in this fund to ensure such work can be undertaken promptly. At the year end the balance was £21,333. Where relevant costs arise, we seek to utilize other restricted funds first to maximize the funds available for designated or unrestricted purposes within the Church Council’s control. If required, this Fund would be topped up by either a special fundraising activity or a transfer from the General Fund.

Legacies (Restricted)

The Legacy Fund comprises bequests to the Church whose use is determined by either Methodist Church Model Trust rules or by the terms of the Will. We seek to utilize these funds for major one-off expenditure such as the purchase of expensive equipment for use in the building. By its nature there is no target level for this fund. The fund currently holds £4,000. There was no outgoing activity on this fund during the year.

Major Gifts (Designated)

The Major Gift Fund comprises significant one-off gifts to the Church where it is felt appropriate to hold them outside the General Fund and utilize them for significant one-off expenditures, including support for emergency appeals. By its nature there is no target level for this fund. The fund currently holds £2,838.

Children and Family Work (Designated)

This fund was opened in September 2019 by the donation of £250 to support work with children and families. There was no activity on this fund during the year other than a further £100 donation.

Internal Organisations (Restricted) This money comprises all the reserves of Internal Organisations. These reserves are usually small except for Pre-School. At year end the total was 38,531 all of which related to the Pre-School. The Pre-school balance is approximately six months’ operational costs

11 Land and Buildings Reserve - The Church building is included in the annual Church Accounts as an asset at its insurance valuation. This reserve matches that valuation and changes over time as the insurance valuation changes. It is a restricted fund and, in the event the building was ever sold, the proceeds would revert to The Connexion and not be part of the individual Church funds.
