# **The Abbey and Parish Church** ## **of** **St. Peter and St. Paul** Registered Charity in England and Wales No. 1132631 ## **Financial Statements** **Year ending 31 December 2022** **Incumbent: Revd Fr.Chris Atkinson The Vicarage Church Walk Bourne Lincs** **Bank: HSBC Bank PLC Stamford** **Independent Examiner Hazel Bell 16 Great Northern Gardens Bourne PE10 9EH** ## **Financial Review of Year 2022** The financial performance in 2022 showed some improvements although it was tempered by the impact of the ongoing Covid 19 Virus in the early part of the year and a rapidly rising inflation rate which reached 11.05% in October with an average of 7.3% for the year. A net gain in the General Fund of £5,803 helped to produce a small benefit in real terms. **The General Fund** compared to 2021 showed an increase in Total Income of 4% and a Total Expenditure reduction of 11% leaving a surplus of £5,803 (deficit in 2021 was £4,361). The share / quota payment plan of was set at £25,000 and was met in full. This level was calculated to enable a balanced budget to be set at the start of the year although it was significantly lower than the amount paid in 2021 (£31,899). Both years were well below the £55,000 required to meet the ministry cost of the Diocese and Parish. Total Voluntary income of £59,143 was up on last year by 9.6%. The Social Committee donated £3000 (up from £2000 in 2021). Net Fees were down but some have been delayed. The Total Income of £66,591 was 4% higher than that achieved last year. Total Expenditure at £60,788 was 11% lower than in 2021 mainly due to the reduced share payment. Heating Costs at £7,825 were impacted for the second half of the year by a kwh rate rise of 322% in June. **The Hall & Sunday School Fund** had a surplus of ££3,076 (deficit of £5,066 in 2020). Income from Hall Lettings at £11,764 was up on last year by £8,176. Expenses at £8,790 were up £133 on 2021. The fund balance at the end of the year was £20,610 (£17,535 in 2021). **The Fabric Fund** total income was £24,628 including two bequests and £88 of interest. Expenditure was £23,150 including a part payment on the new lighting system (£5.075), Flag Pole £1608, Lead roofing £14,472 and Consulting fees.(£465). The Fund total balance of £396,320 (£394.842 in 2021) is allocated to restricted accounts Restoration £293.139 and Fabric £80,927 and unrestricted account £22,254. **The Social Committee** donated £3,000 to the PCC General Account. **The Bourne PCC Mahajanga Support Fund** accounts summary is include in the appendix. This Fund is not incorporated into any Bourne PCC Funds and is limited solely to the purpose declared. ## **Accounting policies** The following statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2015 together with applicable accounting standards and the Charities SORP.

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31SI December 2022 which are set out on the annexed pages_ Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner The charity's trustees consider that an audtt is not required for this year under section 14412) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Acl) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibilrty to. examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act- follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners section 145(5)(b} of the 2011 Act, and state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of Independent Examinerfs Statement My examination was carried out in accordance wtth the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An exarnination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in Ihe accounts and seeking explanations from the management committee concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do nol provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts. Independent Examiner's Statement In connection wf(h my examination, no matters have come to my attention.. which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with s.130 of the 2011 Act.. or to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records have not teen met,. or 2. to which, in my opinion. attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper underslanding of the accounts to be reached.
