## **Objectives and activities** 

Charity objective is to act as a Resource provider within the area around Rotherham for the  Methodist Church . 

The purposes of The Methodist Church are and shall be deemed to have been since the Date of Union the advancement of - 

(A) The Christian Faith in accordance with the doctrinal standards and the discipline of The Methodist Church;

(D) Any purpose for the time being of any charity being a charity subsidiary or ancillary to the Methodist Church. 

How the charity achieves its aims:

## **Achievements and performance** 

The charity is the controlling body of the Methodist Church in the Rotherham and Dearne Valley area.  We seek to promote the Christian Gospel of Hope through the life and teachings of Jesus Christ as contained in the Holy Bible. We do this in many ways but mainly through the operation of 13 Churches in this area.   The beneficiaries of our work are many and through discussion at our circuit meeting we constantly seek new ways of spreading the Gospel. 

## **Financial review** 

The charity is financially solvent and currently holds reserves in excess of Methodist requirements as laid down by conference. We are looking at how our reserves can be deployed in the future including a possible increase in ministry personnel which would require funding for a minimum of 5 years. 

The charity are required to hold as reserves within the Methodist church 6 months annual expenditure as a minimum. There is no requirement to spend sums in excess of this. 

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

## **ROTHERHAM AND DEARNE VALLEY METHODIST CIRCUIT** 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF ROTHERHAM AND DEARNE VALLEY METHODIST CIRCUIT** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Rotherham and Dearne Valley Methodist Circuit (the charity) for the year ended 31 August 2021. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act . In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of  ICAEW , which is one of the listed bodies. 

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn. 

I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. 

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

- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 

- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- 3 the  financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

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

**ROTHERHAM AND DEARNE VALLEY METHODIST CIRCUIT** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

Rotherham and Dearne Valley Methodist Circuit is a charity registered in England and Wales. The registered office is Central Methodist Church, Lodge Lane, Aston, Sheffield, S26 2BP. 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity's  Deed of Union (1932) and Methodist Church Act (1976) ,  the Charities Act 2011 and “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. 

The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn. 

The  financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the  charity .  Monetary a mounts  in these financial statements are  rounded to the nearest £. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the  trustees have  a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees  continue  to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by  conference as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the accounts. 

## **1.4 Incoming resources** 

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. 

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount.  Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under  Gift Aid or  deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## **1.5 Resources expended** 

Expenditure is recognised  under the accruals basis. Specific expenditure on charitable activities is charged directly against the activity to which it relates as c osts of raising funds or ex penditure on charitable activities . 

S upport and governance costs are charged against the charitable activity they support the most . 

Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure  was incurred. 

## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets  are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. 

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: 

Freehold land and buildings 

Held at residual value 

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities . 

## **1.7 Fixed asset investments** 

Fixed asset investments  are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date.  Changes in fair value are recognised in  net income/(expenditure) for the year . Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. 

## **1.8 Impairment of fixed assets** 

At each reporting end date, the  charity  reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any ) . 

## **1.9 Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. 

## **1.10 Financial instruments** 

The  charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. 

Financial instruments are recognised in the  charity 's  balance sheet  when the  charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

**ROTHERHAM AND DEARNE VALLEY METHODIST CIRCUIT** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## _**Basic financial assets**_ 

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. 

## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ 

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future p aymen ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. 

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of  operations  from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_ 

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the  charity ’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. 

## **1.11 Employee benefits** 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. 

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the  charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. 

## **1.12 Retirement benefits** 

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due. 

## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
