## **PRESTON WITH SUTTON POYNTZ PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL** 

## **Independent Auditor’s Report To the PCC of Preston with Sutton Poyntz** 

I have audited the financial statements of Preston with Sutton Poyntz Parochial Church Council (the PCC) for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Balance Sheet, Statement of Financial Activities and the related notes. These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain fixed assets and investments and the accounting policies set out therein. 

## **RESPECTIVE REPONSIBILITIES OF MEMBERS OF THE PCC AND AUDITOR** 

As the members of the PCC you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards. 

I have been appointed as auditor under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993.  My responsibility is to audit the financial statements in accordance with relevant legal and regulatory requirements and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). 

I report to you in my opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view and are properly prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 1993, as also contained in the Church Accounting Regulations 1997.  I also report to you if, in my opinion, the Treasurer’s Report is not consistent with the financial statements, if the PCC has not kept proper accounting records, or if I have not received all the information and explanations I require for my audit. 

I read the Treasurer’s Report and consider the implications for my report if I become aware of any apparent misstatements within it. I also rely upon the assurances provided for me by Geoffrey R Light Esq in respect of certain figures. 

## **BASIS OF OPINION** 

I conducted my audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) issued by the Auditing Practices Board.  An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgments made by the members of the PCC in the preparation of the financial statements, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the PCC’s circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed. 

I planned and performed my audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which I considered necessary in order to provide me with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other irregularity or error.  In forming my opinion, I also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements. 

## **OPINION** 

In my opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the PCC’s affairs at 31 December 2023 and of the incoming resources and the application of resources for the year then ended and have been properly prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 1993.

We are extremely grateful for the continued support from our retired Clergy, visiting Clergy, Lay Ministers and Lay Worship Leaders who ensure that all our services are covered. We are also indebted to our organists, choir, vestry team, sides and musicians. 

2023 saw the completion of the Church Restoration Project. We had a wonderful service of thanks and praise for the completion of the work. Pew bibles have been purchased, mostly by donations, to enable our congregation to become more familiar with readings. St Andrew’s Christmas cards proved to be extremely popular. Our choir has grown in strength and have been able to be with us for major festivals. There have been a number of fund-raising events during the year which have been highly successful and have engaged the wider community. Revd. James Menzies has continued to develop the links between St Andrew’s Church and St Andrew’s School. 

## **Fabric** 

We are extremely grateful for the volunteers who help with the maintenance and efficient running of the church, those who clean the church, those who clean the brass, opening and locking the church, flower arranging, checking the heating, general repairs and maintenance, liaising with contractors, displaying posters, washing of linen and caring for vestments, ordering of candles, wafers and wine and provision of refreshments, bell ringing, grass cutting and maintenance of the churchyard.

## **Treasurer’s Report** 

## **1.  Overall Situation** 

The net worth of the PCC decreased by £45,800 last year to just under £662,400 despite a positive cash flow of nearly £2,500 on General Account and an increase of over £10,000 in the value of our investments (please see no.4 Investments). The decrease is mainly due to a deficit of £58,500 on our Restricted Funds to cover our fabric and church/lychgate restoration costs. Also to cover the £3,200 deficit on the Community Angels Account. 

## **2. Income** 

Our General Income increased by over £10,600 last year where we saw good improvements in planned giving, service collections and Church Room lettings, which saw an increase of over £2,000. We also received a legacy of £5,000 for the benefit of General Funds. We made great strides last year to improve our income overall through fundraising and promoting the Parish Giving Scheme. 

## **3.  Expenditure** 

Our outgoings on General Account, to cover day to day running costs, increased by over £3,600 last year due mainly to a significant increase in fuel and insurance costs. We continued to pay our Parish Share to just under 50% of the official rate in the hope that the share review due out later this year will confirm a realignment to our finances. (Please see our overall situation above re our Restricted Funds). 

## **4.  Investments** 

The value of our investments with CCLA increased by over £10,200 last year owing to an improvement in market conditions. Our Endowment Funds are now valued at £71,600 and General Funds at £47,200. Owing to a significant increase in interest rates last year we saw a £2,000 increase overall in our interest and dividend receipts. 

## **5.  Commitments** 

Over the coming year there will be significant fully funded costs to complete the restoration and repairs of the Church lychgate, and works necessary under the latest quinquennial report. 

## **6.  Conclusion** 

Excluding the increase in our investments, which have not been realised, the improvement on our General Account was just under £2,500. Had we paid our Parish Share in full there would have been a deficit of over £30,000 which is unstainable against existing current assets. 

My thanks to Rev James Menzies, Shirley Mitchell our Team Administrator, members of the Finance Subcommittee, PCC, and Harry Barnes for their support during the year

Capital office equipment items (eg. Computers) purchased and used for the church purposes are depreciated on a straight line basis over 4 year.

Investments are valued at market value at 31 December. 

## **7. Current Assets**
