## **Financial Review for the year ended 31[st] December 2021** 


## **St Luke’s APCM Finance report 2021** 

- In 2020 the church took a step of faith in committing to an initial 3-year appointment of a Youth and Families Minister. The accumulated generosity of church members made this kingdom investment possible, but we were aware of the impact it would have on the financial reserves of the church. 

3 



- In addition, we expected to carry out overdue, major repairs as a mark of good long-term stewardship of the building. 

- Taken together, that led to us predict that there would be a significant deficit in 2021. 

- Covid restrictions meant that the building work has had to be further delayed – we now expect much of this work to be carried out now in 2022. 

- The annual deficit on the youth ministry is some £13,000 a year, but we have been blessed to see a real increase in engagement from children and parents in Sway as a result, and the beginnings of some financial contribution to the work from the wider community. 

- During the year we also received 2 unexpected legacies totalling almost £25,000 for which we are very grateful. These, however masked a reduction of nearly £10,000 in our overall income. 

- So, instead of a large deficit, we have recorded a small surplus which has added to our cash reserves which stood at some £161,000 at the end of December 2021 

- The budget for 2022 anticipates a deficit similar to the one we forecast for 2021 because of the investments in our youth work and the building. 

- The underlying monthly deficit is a little over £1,000 a month. At the time of writing, we await notification from PGS about final figures for the results of the Gift Day held in January. Whatever the outcome, we are grateful to God’s people for their/your support of ministry here in Sway and beyond and look to God to add fruit to the labours. 

- Finally, a special thanks to the team. Sonia, Sandra, Lisa and Sara, Jane. And also to Carol Dutton who has kindly carried out the Independent Examination of the accounts. 

## **Ian J Burnham FCA  11th March 2022** 

## Reserves Policy 

The present PCC Reserves Policy aims to keep a level of reserve equivalent to three months budgeted expenditure. Taking into account the deposits maintained in the CBF Deposit account over the year, it is considered that St Luke’s reserves are adequate for funding purposes going forward into 2022. This policy in kept under regular review by the PCC and cash / deposit balances are reviewed against expenditure requirements. 

Approved by the PCC on 18[th] January 2022 and signed on behalf of the PCC by Rev’d Jane Mitchell (Incumbent)

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2021 

1. Accountng Procedures The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations2006 together with applicable accounting standards and the SORP2005. Income and Expenditure Accounts have been maintained, though not required by the Charities SORP. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for 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

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

## Incoming Resources 

Planned giving, collections and donations are recognized when received. Tax refunds are recognized when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due. Dividends and interest are accounted for when receivable.

For anything acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the accounts. Items acquired since 1[st] January 2000 have been capitalized and depreciated in the accounts over their currently anticipated economic life on a straight line basis. All expenditure incurred in the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings, individual items under £1000 or less (unless specified otherwise) are written off in the period in which the asset was acquired. Investments are valued at market value on 31[st] December.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2021 

1. Accountng Procedures The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations2006 together with applicable accounting standards and the SORP2005. Income and Expenditure Accounts have been maintained, though not required by the Charities SORP. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for 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.

Restricted Funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given Designated Funds are nominated by the PCC for specific purposes 

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

## Incoming Resources 

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

## Resources Used 

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC. The Diocesan Common Mission Fund is accounted for when due. 

## Fixed Assets 

Consecrated and beneficed property is not included in the accounts in accordance with s96(2)(a) of the Charities Act 1993. 

Moveable church furniture held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the church’s inventory which can be inspected at any reasonable time. For anything acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the accounts. Items acquired since 1[st] January 2000 have been capitalized and depreciated in the accounts over their currently anticipated economic life on a straight line basis. All expenditure incurred in the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings, individual items under £1000 or less (unless specified otherwise) are written off in the period in which the asset was acquired. Investments are valued at market value on 31[st] December.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Members/ Trustees (PCC) of St Luke's Church Sway** 

This is the  report on the Accounts for year End December 31[st] 2021. 

## **Respective Responsibilities of the Trustees and the Independent Examiner** 

The Charity's Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 (The 2011Act) and that an Independent Examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to 

1. Examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act 

2. Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission Section 145 (S) {b) of the 2011Act 

3. State whether particular matters need to come their attention 

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

**My** Examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of 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 the accounts , and seeks explanations from the management committee concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not 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** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material aspect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination which should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached
