## **Church Attendance** 

At the  2022 Annual Meeting there were 118 parishoners on the Church Electoral Roll. Following the restrictions arising from Covid the decision was taken to relay church services on line from 9am on Sunday and weekly and as this has proved very popular the practice has been continued notwithstanding the full opening of churches following lockdown. 

. 



Following the passing of Mike Case, PCC Treasurer, a new Treasurer, Deb Vears, was appointed but in view of the difficulties experienced in collating the information for the Annual Accounts, the APCM was not held until July 2022.  This impacted on the number of actual PCC meetings held in the year which totalled three.

Independent E￿￿]ner'S Report to the membersltrnstees of the Parochial Church Council of
St Thoma5, Church with St Nicholas, Church Centr4 Bedhampton
I report on th¢ accounts of the cI￿lty for the year ended 31 December 2022, which ar¢ set out in
pages I to 4.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The chartty's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees
consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011
(The Charities Act) and that an independent examinatson is needed.
It is my respo￿$1b11ity to
examine the accounts ur(der section 145 of the 2011 ACL
to follow the procedures laid dovm in the General Directions given by the Charity
Commission under section 145(5Xb) of the Charities ACL and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent eLqmineFs report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission. An examinatioll includes a review of the accounting records kept by the ¢haTity and a
comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any
unusual items or disclosures in th¢ accounts. and seeking explanations from you as t￿￿tr¢s for any
such lllatters. Th¢ procedures utLdertak¢n do not provide all the evidence that would be required in
an audit, and consequently no opinion is glven as to Wheth￿ the acwunts present a 'ttue and fair
view, and th¢ report is limited to tkose matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examRDer's statement
In connection with my examinatio￿ no material matters have come to my attention which gives me
cause to believe that in any materiaI respect:
The accounting records were not kept in accordaDC¢ with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
The accounts did not acconl with the accounting records.
I have come across no other matters in cortn¢ction with the examinthon to which attention should be
drawn in this report in order to etthle a proper und¢Tstsnding of the accounts to be reached.
