If capital fund income and legacies are excluded frorn a year-on-year comparison, 8eneral fund income shows an increase of £79.055 from £403,718 to £482,773, arising in part from a one-off grant of £55.000 received from Ihe Culture Recovery Fund for building reserves as well as from increased income for servlces, fees from concerts 3nd other lettings and the reintroduction of the Christmas Fayre. Following the decision that the Tru5tee5 took in 2012 all le8acies received were allocated to the Capital Fund meaning that £6,693 was added to the Fund during the year. The year-end balances of the various restricted funds decreased by £36,238 during the year, largely as a ¥esult of reductions in the yearnd valuation of investments.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ROMSEY PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL (continued} Responsibilities of the trustees As explained rnoie fully in the trustees, responsibilitie5 statement, the trustees are responsible loi the preparatlon ol the financial statement5 and for being satisfied that they give a tiue and fair view, and for such internal control a5 they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial 5taterrent5, the tru5tee5 are responsible lor a55essing the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Audltor's responsibllities for the audlt of the financlal statements We have been appointed as auditor under Section 144 Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fiaud or error, and to 155ue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable a5SUTance 15 a high level of a55urance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Mi5Statements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually tsr in the ag8regate, they could reasL)nably be expected io influence the economic decisions of user5 taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularitie5, includlng fiaud, are Instances of non-compllanee wlth lèw5 and regulations. We design procedures in line with ciur responsibilities, outlined above, to detect rnaterial misstatement5 in respect of irregulaiities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.. The engBgetnent partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities skills to idèntily or retognise non-compliante with applicable laws and regulations. We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Charity through discussions with the trustees and other management and we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiiie5 of rnana8emett and illSPECting legal correspondence. We assessed the susceptibility of the Charitvs financial statements to material misstatements, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud mieht occur, by making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowled8e of actual, suspected ancl alleged fraud and considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance wlih laws and regulation5. To addiess the iisk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected rElationships, tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions and investigated the rationale behind significant 01 unusual transactions. In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were nct limited to.. agreeing financial statements dlsclosures ro underlylng supporting documentatlon; reading the minutes of meeting5 of those charged with governance,. and enquiring of management a5 to actual and potential litigation and claims. There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed laws and regulations are from financi31 transactions, the less likely it 15 that we would become awaTe of non-compliance. Auditing standard5 also limit the audit procedure5 require to identify non-cornpliance with laws and rÈ8ulatlon5 to enquiry ol the trustees and other management and inspection of regulatOTy and legal correspondence, if any. Material misstatement that arise due to fraud can be harder tts detect than those that arise from error as they mav involve deliberate toncealment or tollusion. Page 8

Romsey Parochial Church Council Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2022 11. Penslons- Church Workers Penslon Fund ICWPFI Rornsey Parochial Church Council participates in the Pension 8uSlder Stheme settlon of CWPF for lay staff. The Scheme is administered by the Church of England Pensions Board. which holds the CWPF assets separately from those of Romsev Parochial Church Council and the other participating employers. CWPF has two Sections.. the Defined Benefits Scheme. the Pension Builder Scheme. which has two subsections.. a deferred annuity Section known as Pensiot) Builder Classic,. and a cash balance section known as Pension Builder 2014. Pension Builderscheme oth sections of the Pension 8uildei Scheme are classed as defined benefit schemes. Pension Bullder Clusslc provides a pension accumulated from contributions paid and converted into a deferred annultv during employment based on terms set and reviewed by the Church of England Pensions Board from time to tirne. Discretionary increases may a150 be added, depending upon the investment returns and other f3Ctor5. Pension 8uilder 2014 is a cash balance scheme that provide5 3 lump sum which mernbers use to provide benefits at retirement. Pension contributions are recorded in an account for each member. Oiscretionary bonuses may be added before retirement depending upon the investment returns and other factors. The account. plus any bonuses declared, is payable, unreduced, from age 65. There is no sub-division of assets between employers In eaeh section of the Pension Builder Scheme. The scheme is considered to be a rnulti-employer scherne as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. This 15 because it is not possible to attribute the Pension Builder Scheme's assets and Ilabllltles to specific employers and means that contributions are accounted for as if the scheme were a defined contribution scheme. The pensions costs charged to the Statement of Financial Activit5es in the year are the contributions payable12022'. £4,318.. 2021.. £4,248). A valuation of the Pension Builder Scheme is carried out once every three years. The most recent was carried out as at 31 December 2019. The next valuation is due as at 31 December 2022. For the Pension Builder C13S5ic section, the valuation revealed a deficit of £4.8m on the ongoing a55umptions used. At the m05t iecent annual review, the Board chose to grant a dlscretionary bonus of 10.1% following improvements in the funding p051tion over 2022. There is no requirement for deficit paymènts at the current time. For the Pension Builder 2014 section, the valuation revealed a surplus of £5.5m on the ongoing a55umptions used. There 15 no requirement for deficit payment5 at the current time. The legal structure of the scheme Is such that If another employer fails Romsey Parochial Church Council ctsuld become responsible for paying a Share of the failed employer's pension liabilities. 12. - Other grants and donatlons Included within unrestrlcted Income (note 23) 15 £nil12021'. £10,766) received from Her Majesty's Government under the Coronavlru5 lob Retention Scheme.
