NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a Body Corporate for the advancement of religion created by statute (namely the PCC (Powers) Measure 1956).
STATEMENT OF MEMBERS’ RESPONSIBILITIES
The Members are responsible for preparing the Members’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the members to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Parochial Church Council and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the Parochial Church Council for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the members are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation
The members are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Parochial Church Council and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 , the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Parochial Church Council and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Hawley Green Parochial Church Council
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statement of Hawley Green Parochial Church Council (the charity) for the year ended 31 December 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 („the Act‟).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity‟s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a „true and fair view‟ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

HAWLEY GREEN PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 contd.
Appendix “A”
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and “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)”. The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS102.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value. The Parochial Church Council has adopted the accrual accounting basis for the preparation of the financial statements.
FUNDS
General funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted.
Restricted funds are those funds that must be spent on restricted purposes and details of the funds held and restrictions are provided in note 10.
Endowment funds, where capital must be retained, are explained in note 5(b).
The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law.
INCOMING RESOURCES
VOLUNTARY INCOME AND CAPITAL SOURCES
Income represents the amount of voluntary donations as recorded whether by loose cash, bankers order or other form of instrument.
Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC.
Planned giving receivable under Gift Aid is recognised only when received.
Income Tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised.
Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement, the amount due is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt by the PCC is reasonably certain.
Funds raised by fetes, bazaars, catering at social functions, pilgrimages and similar events are accounted for gross.
OTHER INCOME
Rental income from the letting of church premises is recognised when the rental is due.

INCOME FROM INVESTMENTS
Dividends are accounted for when due and payable. Interest entitlements are accounted for as they accrue.
Tax recoverable on such income is recognised in the same accounting year.
GAINS & LOSSES ON INVESTMENTS
Realised gains or losses are recognised when investments are sold. Unrealised gains or losses are accounted for on revaluation of investments at 31[st] December 2023.
RESOURCES EXPENDED
GRANTS
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC.
ACTIVITIES DIRECTLY RELATING TO THE WORK OF THE CHURCH
The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. Any share unpaid at 31[st] December 2023 will be provided for in these accounts as an operational (though not a legal) liability and shown as a creditor in the Balance Sheet.
FIXED ASSETS
CONSECRATED LAND - BUILDINGS AND MOVEABLE CHURCH FURNISHINGS
Consecrated and beneficed property of any kind is excluded from the accounts as required by the Charities Act 2011.
Movable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC, and which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted as inalienable property unless consecrated. They are listed in the church’s Inventory which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For inalienable property acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the accounts. Items acquired since 1 January 2000 have been capitalized and depreciated in the accounts over their currently anticipated useful economic life on a straightline basis.
All expenditure incurred in the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings, individual items under £1,000 or on the repair of movable church furnishings acquired before 1 January 2000 is written off.
OTHER LAND AND BUILDINGS
Except for inalienable property, non consecrated and non-beneficed property is depreciated on a straight-line basis to write off each asset over its anticipated useful economic life, initially 50 years or the residual period.
OTHER FIXTURES, FITTINGS AND OFFICE EQUIPMENT
Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight-line basis over 4 years, or 12 years depending on the useful life of the asset. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £1,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.
INVESTMENTS
Investments are valued at market value at 31[st] December 2023.
