## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS** 

This report on the financial statements of the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2019, which are set out on the following pages, is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 ('the Regulations') and s.144 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

## **Respective Responsibilities of the PCC and the Examiner** 

As the members of the PCC you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements; you consider that the audit requirement of the Regulations and section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 does not apply. It is my responsibility to issue this report on those financial statements accounts in accordance with the terms of the Regulations. 

## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5) (b) of the Act and to be found in the Church Guidance, 2006 edition, issued from the Finance Division of the Archbishops' Council. That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering 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 Act; and 

●to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the requirements of the Act, and the Regulations 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.

## **REVIEW OF THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

## Vicar's Report 

The life and activities of St Barnabas Church in 2020 were naturally shaped by the Covid 19 pandemic. The church was closed from late March and services were streamed initially from people’s homes, but then from the church building when regulations allowed. The Wednesday Communion service resumed in July, with Sunday services starting back in August. A hybrid model continued with Sunday services streamed on YouTube with people worshipping in the building. In November services were again streamed from the building without in person congregations, though the building was open for private prayer. 

A full programme of Christmas services was held, online and in person with restricted numbers. An online Alpha course was held in October. The church took part in Feast of Fun, with delivery of food and activities to families in August and during the Christmas holidays. 

Hazel Murray continued as part-time student worker at Teesside University. In May 2020 it was decided to employ a Worship Leader, to lead the sung worship at 11.15am and 6.30pm and support the team at 9.30am. Seb Rab was appointed started in post on 1st September. In October 2020 it was decided to employ a part time media worker, to provide technical support for the increasing online nature of the church. Phil Hale was appointed and took up his post in December. 

The Immeasurably More process of looking to the future had been planned for 2020 with a day for the whole church on 28th March, leading towards the formation of a Mission Action. While the planned day for Immeasurably More was the first casualty of lockdown, the consultation process was resumed by Zoom and on paper in June 2020. The PCC met to review the comments and reflections of the congregation and the Mission Action Plan was approved by the PCC in September 2020. 

The Mission Action Plan identified 4 key values. We seek to be Bible based, Christ centred, transformational and servant-hearted. Five priority areas for the next 3-5 years were identified: worship, those under 25 years of age, compassion for our community, outreach and nurture of the whole church family. 

## Financial Report 

## i. Unrestricted Funds 

Our unrestricted funds (excluding designated funds) showed a decrease in the year from a balance of £91,441 at the year start to a balance of £79,670 at the year end.    This compares with a reserves target of £45,000, which represents 10 weeks' expenditure. It should be noted that the regular giving increased by 5%, even though for most of the year there were no weekly collections in the services. 

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in some unplanned expenditure, but also meant that expenditure on the buildings was lower than usual.  Two new members of staff joined towards the end of the year. 

## ii. Designated Funds 

The Development Fund (money from the sale of 64 Queen's Rd) now stands at £41,570, after a small final payment for the north aisle roof repairs. 

The Future Staffing fund was created to build up reserves to pay for new staff members when they are appointed. It currently stands at £20,114 and now that two new staff members have been appointed it will be used over the next two years. 

## iii. Restricted Funds 

Income for the Jachie Eye Clinic in Ghana was £7,562 received in the form of donations, money raised at the online Craft Aid event and from the sale of cards. The start-of-year balance was £9,564, which meant that we were able to send £13,400 to the clinic, and also pay £610 to ship donated medical equipment to Jachie.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31/12/20** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

The financial statements of the PCC have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014, and with the Charities Act. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of 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** 

Restricted Funds represent (a) income from trusts or endowments which may be extended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or the 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 funds on an average balance basis. 

Unrestricted Funds  are general funds which can be used for PCC ordinary purposes. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside for specific purposes by the PCC. 

## **Income and Endowments** 

Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate are received. Grants and Legacies are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross. 

## **Expenditure** 

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC. The diocesan quota or parish share is accounted for when due. Amounts received specifically for Mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross. 

## **Fixed Assets** 

Consecrated and Beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by s.10(2) of the Charities Act 2011. No Value is placed on movable church furnishings held by the church wardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal since the PCC considers this to be inalienable property. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or benefice buildings and movable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure in the SOFA and separately disclosed. 

Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight line basis over 10 years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £1,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired. 

Investments are valued at market value at 31st December. 



**ST BARNABAS PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL** 

Page 11 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31/12/20 (CONT.)** 

## **Grants payable without performance conditions** 

These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met relating to a grant which remain in control of the charity. 

## **Changes in Accounting policies and previous accounts** 

There has been no change to the accounting policies (variation rules and methods of accounting) since last year, and no changes to the previous accounts. 

## **Basis of preparation:** 

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis of accounting in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with applicable accounting standards. In preparing the financial statements the charity follows best practice as laid down in the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" (SORP 2015) issued in July 2014. 

## **Measurement of debtors and creditors** 

Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. The PCC has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.

## **14. RISK ASSESSMENT** 

The major risks to which the PCC is exposed have been reviewed and systems established to manage those risks. Risks are managed by the PCC and its sub committees, drawing on the expertise of other church members in such areas as building maintenance, health and safety and legal matters. The PCC has a policy on child protection, requiring all those involved in work with children to have DBS checks. Advice and further specialist expertise can be obtained from the diocese as required. 

## **15. RESERVES POLICY** 

The reserves policy agreed in Dec. 2015 that at least 10 weeks' expenditure is needed for cash flow and contingency purposes remains unchanged. This is based on the church's size, the level of financial commitments, and the volatility in income and expenditure experienced in recent years. The trustees will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily. 

## **16. PUBLIC BENEFIT** 

The charity acknowledges its requirement to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purposes or ‘aims’ that are for the public benefit. Details of how the charity has achieved this are provided in the Trustees report. The Trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit before deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

## **17.   PENSION SCHEME** 

St Barnabas church participates in the Pension Builder Scheme section of Church Workers Pension Fund for lay staff. The Scheme is administered by the Church of England Pensions Board, which holds the assets of the schemes separately from those of the Employer and the other participating employers. 

The Church Workers Pension Fund has a section known as the Defined Benefits Scheme, a deferred annuity section known as Pension Builder Classic and a cash balance section known as Pension Builder 2014. 

The Pension Builder Scheme of the Church Workers Pension Fund is made up of two sections, Pension Builder Classic and Pension Builder 2014, both of which are classed as defined benefit schemes. 

Pension Builder Classic provides a pension for members for payment from retirement, accumulated from contributions paid and converted into a deferred annuity during employment based on terms set and reviewed by the Church of England Pensions Board from time to time. Bonuses may also be declared, depending upon the investment returns and other factors. 

Pension Builder 2014 is a cash balance scheme that provides a lump sum that members use to provide benefits at retirement. Pension contributions are recorded in an account for each member. This account may have bonuses added by the Board before retirement. The bonuses depend on investment experience and other factors. There is no requirement for the Board to grant any bonuses. The account, plus any bonuses declared, is payable from members’ Normal Pension Age. 

There is no sub-division of assets between employers in each section of the Pension Builder Scheme. 

The scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102.  This is because it is not possible to attribute the Pension Builder Scheme’s assets and liabilities to specific employers and means that contributions are accounted for as if the Scheme were a defined contribution scheme.  The pensions costs charged to the SoFA in the year are the contributions payable (2020: £21.51) 

A valuation of the Pension Builder Scheme is carried out once every three years. The most recent was carried out as at 31 December 2016. A valuation as at 31 December 2019 was under way as at 31 December 2020. 

For the Pension Builder Classic section, the valuation revealed a deficit of £14.2m on the ongoing assumptions used. At the most recent annual review, the Board chose not to grant a discretionary bonus, which will have acted to improve the funding position. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current time. 

For the Pension Builder 2014 section, the valuation revealed a surplus of £1.8m on the ongoing assumptions used. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current time. 

The legal structure of the scheme is such that if another employer fails, St Barnabas Church could become responsible for paying a share of that employer’s pension liabilities.
