INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHRIST CHURCH PCC,
WINCHESTER
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Christ Church PCC, Winchester (the Charity), for the year ended
31 De￿rnber 2024, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash flow
Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The
financial reporting frameworl( that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom
Accounting Standards including Financial Reporting Standard 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:
give a true and fair view of the state of the Charity's affairs as at 31 D￿rnber 2024, and of its
incoming reSoUr￿S and application of reSoUr￿S for the year then ended.
have been properly prepared in accordan￿ with United Kingdom Generally AC￿pted Accounting
Practice,. and
have been prepared in accordan￿ with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011
Basis of opinion
We conducted our audit in accordan￿ with Intemational 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 accordan￿ 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 responsibililies 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
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the truSt￿S, use of the going concern basis of
accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events
or conditions that, individually 01 collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Charity's ability lo continue as
a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for
issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going con￿rn are described in the
relevant sections of this report.
Other matters
In the previous accounting period the trustees of the charity took advantage of audit exemption under s144
of the Charities Act 2011. Therefore, the prior period financial statements were not subject to audit.
Other infomiation
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, including the trustees, report,
other than the financial statements and our auditorfs report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORTTO THE TRUSTEES OF CHRIST CHURCH PCC,
WINCHESTER
does not cover the other infomiation and. except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do
not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
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 otheNise
appears to be malerially misstated. If we identify such malerial inconsistencies or apparent material
misstatements, we are required to determine whetherthis gives rise to a material misstatement in thefinancial
statements themselves. 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.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the 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, Annual Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and
Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
the information given in the trUSt￿s, report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial
statements., or
sufficient accounting records have not been kept. or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records., or
we have not obtained all the infonnation and explanations ne￿SSary for the purposes of our audit.
Responsibilities of the trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees, responsibilities statement, 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 they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or e￿Or.
In preparing the financial statements. the trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity's ability to
continue as a going concem, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going
concem basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the Charity or to ￿ase operations,
or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been apFX)inted as auditor under Section 144 Charilies Act 2011 and report in accordan￿ with the
Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to oblain reasonable assurance about whether Ihe 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
conducled in accordan￿ with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORTTO THE TRUSTEES OF CHRIST CHURCH PCC,
WINCHESTER
Misstatements can arise from fraud or e￿or and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to Influen￿ the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of
irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities,
including fraud is detailed below..
The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence,
capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-complian￿ with applicable laws and regulations.
We assessed the Sus￿pIlb1llty of the Charity's financial statements to material misslatement, including
obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by making enquiries of manaJement as to where they
considered there was sUs￿ptibIlity to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud and
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and
regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we perfomied analytical
procedures to idents'fy any unusual or unexpected relationships. tested joumal entries to identify unusual
transactions and investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-complian￿ with laws and regulations, we designed
procedures which included, but were not limited to..
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation,.
reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance,. and
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims
There are inherent limitations in our audit prccedures described above. The more removed that laws and
regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-
complian￿. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws
and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal
correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as
they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial
Reporting Council's website at..
https.'Ilwww.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This description fomis part of our auditor's report.
Knight Goodhead Limited is eligible for appointment as auditor of the Charity by virtue of its eligibility for
appointment as auditor of a company under section1212 of the Companies Act 2006.
