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 2024 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 2024 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.

Fabric

2024 saw the restoration work of the Lychgate completed. We are extremely grateful for those who worked so tirelessly during this restoration program, our thanks are expressed to the contractors and to Harry Barnes, who over saw the project. Our fundraising still continues and we have seen a very varied program of events, these have been very well received by both our church family and by the wider community.

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.

It is our policy to invest our funds balance with CBF Church of England Deposit Fund.

Treasurer’s Report

1. Overall Situation

The net worth of the PCC increased by £2,500 in 2024 to just under £665,000 where we saw an unrealised increase of £2,700 in the value of our investments with CCLA (please see no.4 Investments). Income and Expenditure on General Account largely balanced with a small retention of £500 seen. Our restricted funds were overall, also maintained at similar levels to last year.

2. Income

Our General Income decreased by £2,400 in 2024 to £59,700 compared to 2023 when we had the benefit of a £5,000 legacy. There was therefor a positive swing of £2,600 largely due to an increase in planned giving of £1,700 and an increase of £800 in Church Room Lettings. A grant of £6,700 relating to the restoration of the Church was also received in 2024 for the benefit of our restricted Fabric deposit account.

3. Expenditure

Our outgoings on General Account, to cover day to day running costs were maintained at just over £59,000. Our contribution to Parish Share was £35,000, just over 50% of our official rate which is due to reduce to £51,000 by 2028. Church Room running costs were significantly lower by over £1,500 to £4,100.

The restoration of the Lychgate was completed by the end of 2024 subject to costs so far of £50,000 including £8,000 paid out in 2023. This has been covered by a £15,000 grant, donations/fundraising of £20,000 and our restricted Churchyard deposit account. I estimate further costs to be in the region of £3,000 to be covered by ongoing fundraising.

4. Investments

Following a revaluation at the end of 2024 and owing to an improvement in market conditions our investments now stand at £48,300 (General Funds) and £73,200 (Endowment Funds). Dividends and deposit interest receipts were slightly down by £800 to £6,200.

5. Commitments

Over the coming year there will be the final costs relating to the lychgate (see above) and the cost of further works identified by the last Quinquennial report. We will also by looking to restore the bell tower clock face subject to acceptable quotes and fully funded costs.

6. Conclusion

Had we paid our Parish Share in full there would have been a deficit on General Account of over £34,000 which is unsustainable against existing current assets and liabilities. However, with the planned reduction in Parish Share to £51,000 over the next four years we will be looking at ways to close the gap.

My thanks to Rev James Menzies, Shirley Mitchell our Team Administrator, members of the Finance Subcommittee, PCC, for their support during the year. Also to Harry Barnes for overseeing the restoration of the lychgate including the financial documentation.
