the Cambrid8e English dictlonary delinitlon is 'usual - the same a5 would be expected, and this was
how the year generally turned out to bè. Coronavlrus. although still present, diminished in frequency and strength

when cases increased. The Abbey still retains hand sanitising stations for those who wish to make use of them.
The very beginning of the year saw the feast of the Epiphany translated from January 6 to Sunday 2,
congregations were generou5 Wlth their donation5 of gifts for lot81 children and eharlties.
As usual the

Martindale. The surface of the effigy ha5 been flakin8 lor some time and the PCC is seekin& with the generous support
of the Friends ol Romsey Abbey, to improve and 5tabili5e the condltlon of the monument.
Externally the North Churchyard underwent some changes and within the re-wilded area a small number ol heritage
apple trees have been planted. one tsf which was donated by TV8C to commemorate Ihe sacrifice5 made during the
Covid-19 pandernic. The beech hedge has a15ts been lowered to create a more open aspect enabling people to see the
wonderful green space open to all.
The 9..303m services have continued to be streamed and thanks to the voluntary and skilful wolk ol the Romsey Abbey
Technical team. As the year rolled by many people in the parish were caught up in helping ameliorate conditions for
Ukrainian refugees following the atrocious war be8un in thBt country throuEh Russian aggression. Activities in the Abbey
have included the collection of item5 in support of Ukrainian refugees being Irar¥sported to Southampton, and a charity

Romsey Parochlal Churth Council
Annual Report forthe year ended 31 December 2022
Financial Review
Total Income on unrestricted funds amounted to £490,22512021'. £407,556) of which £75912021.. £7731 was investment
income generated by the designated capital fund. Unrestrlcted legacy income amounting to £6,693 was received in 2022
12021.. £3.0651. 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 year*nd valuation of investments.
Reserves policy
At the end of the financial year the PCC held total funds of £3,741,93012021.. £4,108,5321, ol which £642,506 12021..
£678,7431 were restricted and £2,682,002 12021.. £3,038,045) were endowments both ol which were therefore not
available for the general unrestricted use of the charity. The restricted funds were for linter oliul the maintenance of the
fabric and organ ol Rom5ey Abbey, the fabric of St Swithun's. and are unlikely to be disbursed to a slEniflcant extent in
the foreseeable future, as well as some other items, which will be disbursed iii the next few years.
Further funds within the total were designated by the PCC lol the specific purposes but could, if the PCC so chose, be
undesignated and used for its general purposes. Whilst no formal date has been proposed for the tJsÈ of these
designated funds, they are designated for specific projects as explained in note 8 of the financial statements. The PCC'S
long-term financial objective is to maintain the Capit31 Reserve Fund within the range of £280,000 to £300,000 (the level
before it had to be used to 5UPPOlt the day to day running c05l5 of the parish in the first decade of this century and the
construction of ihe enlarged parish office in 20081 so that if major repairs or other expendirure become Lsreent, thèy can
be undertaken swiftly.
The PCC also has a long-term objective ol holding freè reserve5 Ithe balance on the General Fund less investments as
defined by the Charity Cornmissionl ol between 3 and 6 months budgeted annual expenses, to guard against normal
fluctuations in day-to-day income and expenses. At the year-end these operatlng reserves were £85,524, some wav
below the target range of £IIOk E220k. It remains the objective of the PCC to increase these reserves gradually in the
medium term.
Given the purpose5 for which restricted and designated funds are held, investments are almost exclusively in CBF Church
of England funds administered by the CCLA Investment Management Limited.
Structurè, Govèrnan¢e and Management
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. PCC consists of the

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 rnana8emet￿t 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.
