## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities for the year ended 31 December 2024** 

## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities** 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The trustees are required by law to prepare financial statements for each financial period which give a true and fair view of the financial activities of the charity and of its financial position at the end of that period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to: 

- a) Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- b) Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- c) Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- d) Follow applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; 

- e) Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 and the provisions of the governing document. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

**(A Parochial Church Council registered as a charity, number: 1133322)** 

## **Independent Examiner's Report** 

## **to the Parochial Church Council of the Parish of St Dunstan and All Saints, Stepney** 

I report on the accounts of Parish of St Dunstan and All Saints, Stepney for the period from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024, which are set out on pages 8 to 18. My report is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 ('the Regulations') and the Charities Act 2011 ( 'the Charities Act' ). 

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees as a body in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. My examination has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the PCC and its members as a body, for my examination, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed. 

## **Respective responsibilities of members of the PCC and the examiner** 

As described on page 6, as PCC members you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts,  and you consider that an audit is not required for this year under the Regulations or under section 144(2) of the Charities Act and that an independent examination is needed. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under charity law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- a) examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act; 

- b) to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and 

- c) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner's report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination 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 the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters.  The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- l the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- l the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- l the accounts did 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 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 accounts to be reached.

**(A Parochial Church Council registered as a charity, number: 1133322)** 

## **Parish of St Dunstan and All Saints, Stepney** 

## **Accounting Policies** 

## **for the year ended 31 December 2024** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with: 

- a) Applicable UK accounting standards, including the provisions of section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)". 

- b) 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) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP FRS 102); 

- c) The Charities Act 2011. 

- d) The Church Accounting Regulations 2006. 

## **Public benefit entity** 

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. 

## **Going concern** 

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue operating and accordingly the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. 

## **Income recognition** 

Voluntary income and donations (including legacies) are accounted for once the PCC has entitlement to the income, it is probable the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be reliably measured. Income from the recovery of tax on gift aided donations is accounted for once the tax reclaim has been applied for. Grant income is recognised on a receivable basis. 

The income from trading activities include rental income from the letting of church premises temporarily surplus to requirement, and is accounted for when earned. It is shown gross, with the associated costs included in fundraising costs. Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. Income from property held for its rental returns is included in Investments when due. 

## **Expenditure recognition** 

Expenditure is accrued as soon as a liability is considered probable, and the amount of obligation can be measured reliably. Longer term liabilities are discounted to present value. The PCC is not registered for VAT and accordingly expenditure includes VAT where appropriate. 

Expenditure included in Raising Funds includes amounts incurred in obtaining grants and other donations and property maintenance costs. 

Charitable expenditure includes those costs expended in fulfilling the PCC’s principal objects, as outlined in the Report of the PCC. These include grants payable, governance costs and an apportionment of support costs. 

- Grants payable are payments made to third parties in furtherance of the PCC’s objects. In the case of an unconditional grant offer this is accrued once the recipient has been notified of the grant award. The notification gives the recipient a reasonable expectation that they will receive the grant. Grants awards that are subject to the recipient fulfilling performance conditions are only accrued when the recipient has been notified of the grant and any remaining unfulfilled condition attaching to that grant is outside of the control of the PCC. 

- Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the PCC and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to the independent examination and legal fees. 

- Rentals under operating leases are charged as incurred over the term of the lease. 

## **Endowment funds** 

Endowment funds are restricted funds which are capital in nature.  Permanent endowments exist where there is no power to convert the capital into income.  The funds can reduce where there are decreases in value, either by losses or depreciation, of assets represented by the funds. 

## **Restricted Funds** 

Restricted funds are to be used for specified purposes as laid down by the funder.  Direct and support expenditure which meets these criteria are identified to the fund together with a fair allocation of other costs.

## **Designated Funds**

## **Restricted funds (continued)** 

Projects financed by restricted funds are supported by unrestricted funding where necessary.  This occurs where the funding is in arrears or the incidence of expenditure on the project occurs disproportionately at the beginning of the project compared to the income flows.  Where restricted projects end the year with a deficit, this is met by after year-end restricted income or transfers from unrestricted funds.
