SHERBORNE ABBEY WITH CASTLETON AND SAINT PAUL'S PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Registered Charity No. 1130082

Prepared by Bernard S Brown FCA Honorary Treasurer The Parish Office, 3 Abbey Close, Sherborne, DT9 3LQ

Sherborne Abbey with Castleton and St Paul’s Parochial Church Council

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Sherborne Abbey with Castleton and St Paul’s Parochial Church Council

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Sherborne Abbey with Castleton and St Paul’s Parochial Church Council for the year ended 31 December 2020, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows, 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, including FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

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 Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity 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

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:

Other information

The Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees' report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Sherborne Abbey with Castleton and St Paul’s Parochial Church Council

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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 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 charity'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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011, and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. 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 an auditor’s report 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.

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 auditor's report.

Sherborne Abbey with Castleton and St Paul’s Parochial Church Council

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Sherborne Abbey with Castleton and St Paul’s Parochial Church Council

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity's members, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and the regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s 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 charity and the charity's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Lanham & Francis Statutory Auditor 77a Cheap Street Sherborne Dorset DT9 3BA

Date: 27 April 2021

TREASURER’S REPORT

At this time last year, I wrote “this year, we move into the interregnum with all of its uncertainties. This period of uncertainty might well affect our parish income and will certainly affect our parish costs.” How true this has been, but not as a result of the interregnum, but as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

I am writing this report whilst in lockdown 3 and reflecting on the content of the annual accounts for 2020. The effect of the pandemic and the associated restrictions have had a profound effect on parish income. All categories of parish income have been affected – planned giving, collections, visitor donations, parish fees for weddings and funerals, and most importantly investment income all show significant reductions. The Sherborne Abbey Festival was cancelled and both the Abbey Shop and the Digby Memorial Church Hall remained closed for much of the year. At the same time, we have been able to make considerable cost savings and have benefitted from Covid-19 related grants from HM Government. We have also benefitted from legacies, including a most generous bequest by the late Betty Randall of her cottage at number 2 Abbey Close for use by the parish.

This has resulted in the parish accounts showing a surplus from all activities of £129,764 compared with a deficit in 2019 of £20,163. This surplus includes legacies and bequests of £188,500. Without these, the parish accounts would have shown a deficit of £58,736.

Our largest expense was Diocesan Share of £192,697. This payment to the diocese is used largely to fund clergy stipends, pensions and housing. This means that much of the cost is effectively returned to the parish in supporting our stipendiary clergy.

Our second largest cost is the annual grant to the Faith and Action Committee amounting to £50,000 and represents a tithe of the previous years’ giving and investment income of the three churches in the parish.

The Friends of Sherborne Abbey have provided funds of £32,404 to cover the cost of several Abbey projects. Without such financial support, these costs would have fallen upon the parish.

This year, we remain in the latter stages of the interregnum which is likely to impact our parish costs. Whilst the Covid-19 vaccinations are being rolled out in Sherborne, there is still considerable uncertainty about the future and how quickly the

1

pandemic will be brought under control. This period of uncertainty will continue to have an adverse effect on our parish income.

My thanks, as always, go to the treasurers of all the various funds for their help and support throughout the year.

Bernard Brown Honorary Treasurer

NOTE 1 – ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). They also comply with the Charities Act 2011.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at fair value.

Basis of preparation

Sherborne Abbey with Castleton and St Paul’s Parochial Church Council meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

The financial statements are prepared in Sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in the financial statements are rounded to the nearest £1.

Going concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Trustees have considered the charity’s forecast cash flows for a period exceeding 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and consider that the charity will be able to operate within the bank facilities currently available to it, and hence that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue operations for the foreseeable future.

Funds

Funds are represented as:

Unrestricted funds – funds that are not subject to any known restrictions in application and are available for the charity’s general purposes; Designated funds – unrestricted funds that are for the time being set aside by the charity for particular purposes;

Restricted funds – funds which through the wishes of the donor(s) are restricted to a particular purpose or, in the case of endowments, have restrictions placed on the use of capital.

Funds for church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body are not accounted for.

9

Incoming Resources

RECOGNITION OF INCOME AND ENDOWMENTS Collections and donations, including planned giving donations, are recognised on the date received. Legacies are accounted for in the year of receipt, unless the charity has been advised that a legacy has arisen in the year under review and the amount of any such legacy can be established with reasonable certainty.

Tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the donation is received. Grants are recognised on the due date. Income from fund-raising events and sales is accounted for gross on the date of the event.

Gifts of goods and services are quantified as intangible income where they are of material value to the charity and not a customary feature of church life.

VAT recoverable on listed building repairs is recognised when claims for repayment are submitted.

Monies that are collected on behalf of other organisations or for presentation to individuals on customary occasions are not accounted for as incoming resources.

INVESTMENTS AND DEPOSITS

Dividends and interest receivable are recognised when due. Notional interest accrued between the last due payment date and the end of the financial year is accounted for on the first due payment date in the following year. Realised gains and losses are recognised when investments are sold. Unrealised gains and losses are recognised by revaluing investments at market value at the end of the year.

OTHER INCOME

Insurance claim income is accounted for net of losses incurred. Sales of fixed assets are accounted for net of book value. Rental income and facility charges are recognised when due. Statutory fees are recognised when received.

Resources Expended

Payments due, including grants and donations, are accounted for when a binding

liability is incurred, an invoice received or a payment made, whichever is the earliest.

Diocesan Share is accounted for as payable. Any amount unpaid at the end of the financial year is shown as a liability.

Fixed Assets

Consecrated and beneficed land and property and inalienable church furnishings and equipment are excluded from the financial statements. All expenditure incurred on maintenance or improvement of such property or furnishings is written off in the financial year in which it is incurred.

Other land and buildings in the beneficial ownership of the charity are included in

10

the financial statements at cost. Under the transitional rules of FRS102 paragraph 35.10, the land and buildings have been revalued at the date of transition (1/1/15). The basis of this valuation was market value which was established by the charity. This value is then carried forward as the deemed cost. An annual review of the properties will be undertaken to determine whether or not there has been any impairment which would reduce the market value of the land and buildings.

The value of all office and miscellaneous equipment is written off in the financial year in which it is acquired except for assets costing in excess of £5,000 which are capitalised and depreciated. The value of consumable goods in hand is considered immaterial.

Investments are included at their market value on the last working day of the accounting year.

Stock

Stock has been valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Volunteers

Volunteers play an enormous role in all aspects of the life and operations of the charity. There are just eight employees engaged in running the parish office, the Abbey shop, church hall and Abbey vestry. The Parish Report describes the wide range of activities undertaken by the charity and staffed almost exclusively by volunteers.

11

NOTE 2 – TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS – PROPERTY

In accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and the PCC (Powers) Measure 1956, consecrated property, church furnishings etc. and benefice property (eg Vicarage) are excluded from these financial statements. The property included in these financial statements is in the beneficial ownership of the Parish but vested in the Diocesan Board of Finance.

Income from the O’Shea and Ashford funds may be used for any of the charity’s general purposes. The Chancel fund arises from

12

capitalising of Lay Rector responsibilities; the income from this fund may be used only for the upkeep of the Chancel of the Abbey, and the charity’s policy is to use this income to contribute to the overall cost of insuring the Abbey.

The investment assets comprise units / shares in the CBF Church of England Investment Fund and the M&G Charifund and M&G Charibond charity funds. These funds aim to generate capital appreciation and rising income and a total return in excess of their benchmarks, whilst adopting an appropriate Ethical Investment Policy.
