Introduction
Bowdon Parochial Chur¢h Council {PCCI is a charity registered with the Charity Commission. It is responsible for
the running of Sl fvAary's and St Luke's churches in Bowdon, Cheshire and is part of the Diocese of Chester within
the Church of England. Bowdon PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, the Reverend lan
Rumsey {now retired), in the promotion of the objectives and activities of the ecclesiastscal parish that are derived
from the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, ecumenical and social.
The PCC is also responsible for the fabric of St Mary's church. St Luke's church, the Bowdon Parish Centre and
one residential propety.
The method of appointment of PCC members 1$ set out in the Church Representation Rules.
All ¢hufch attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC.
2. Structure. Govemance and Management
The Ecclesiastical Parish is served by St. Mary's church and St Luke's church and Zone 2 in Bowdon. Members of
the PCC are drawn from all congregations.
The Parish is now in a period of Vacancy and is being managed by the PCC and the Operations Team.
Churchwardens
For historical reasons and unusually foran Anglican church, Bowdon Parish has four Churchwardens ltsvo parochial
and tsvo manoriall, which is very fortunate for us, given the number of servi¢e$ held each Sunday al St Mary's, Sl
Luke's and Zone 2. Debi Green, Jo Howling, Tim Borthwick and John Newton continued as wardens, assisted by
Michael Parish , Ann Ford and lan Scott-Dunn as deputy wardens, a team of sides-people led by Adrian Hope and
our Servers, Guild led by Alec Bonson.
Our Administratlve Team has been led by Kay Holt along with a team of Parish Office volunteers. In addition. the
whole organisation is supported by many volunteers leading and assisting with the running of our many church
groups and activities from cleaning the church to running the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. All these groups
enable us lo connect with OLtr parishioners, thus giving us an opportunity lo help them in the journey of belonging
and believing.
The PCC Trustees are very grateful to all those who give of their b'me and lalenls, both paid staff and volunteers,
with this support we have become one of the top quartile of churches in the Church of England who are able to
demonstrate growth in their membership.
The Parochial Church Councll meets regularly and in the financial year from January lo December 2023 met 6
times. All meetings were 'in person, now that we have come through ¢ovid.

3. ObJe¢tivfr$ and Activities
The PCC is committed lo enabling as many people as possible to worship at our churche$ and to become part of
our parish commltnity. Our services and worship pul faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and
sacrament.
When planning our activities for the year, the PCC has considered the Commission's guidance on public benefit
and in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advan￿ment of religion. In particular we try lo enable
ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through..
Worship and prayer,. learning about the Gospel,. and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus.
Provision of pastoral care for people of all ages living in the parish.
Missionary and outreach WOTk.
4. A¢hievornonts and Perfomianc•
We have been in a vacancy since July 2022 and so 2023 has been a year of keeping the stsbility of the parish in
check. We a￿ enomiously grateful to Revd Keith Hines, Revd John Sutton and Revd Dr Margaret Jor¢es and our
large team of Lay Worship Leaders who have enabled us to maintain our service pattern during that time. Our lay
leaders have received guidance and support Irom the Revd Dr Andrew Knight, our Rural Dean, and also John
Sutton. Our choir was invited lo sing at York Minster in Augusl and continues to attract young singers - most
notably three new choral scholars funded by the PCC,
Our PCC has undertaken Safeguarding training at both basic and foundation level and recently adopted a Parish
Statement on Domestic Abuse In July, we agreed to eonbnue to adopt the House of 8ishops' Policy Statement
'Promoling a Safer Chur¢h120171 insofar as it relates lo the work of the Parish.. A new Safeguarding Officer was
appointed in November who reports on any Safeguarding issues at PCC meetings. Several PCC rnembers
attended an Unconscious Bias training trial led by Dr Margaret Jones for Chester Diocese.
A member of the PCC is now an acb've member of both the General Synod and the Diocesan Synod and keeps us
up to date on new initiatives such as Bishop Mark's vision of carrying out Christ's mission to seek the lost and share
the Good News in our diocese. Another member has recentty qualified as a Mental Health First Alder which will
enable her to look after anyone with mental health issues until they are able to get professional help.
Despite a lot of ovr time being tsken up with the major repair of our churchyard wall and the vacancy, we have
managed lo gain our bronze award as an Eco Church and are working towards the silver award. An energy audit
was made in August of St Mary's. St Luke's and the Parish Centre and we will be considering the report's
recommendations as part of our long-term plan to gel lo net zero cartx)n by 2030.
Looking beyond our parish, we have continued to support The Hope cent￿ in Partington with weekly donations of
food and Care UK Refvgee Aid and Sl Ann's Hospi￿ with clothir¢g and household items. Our Chrislingle services
raised money for The Children's Society and weekly Collections are made for Compassion by St Luke's and Zone2
to support the education of children in Ghana, the Dominican Republic and Indonesia. We raised £4,000 for
Christsan Aid during May. During the winter months. we provided a "Warm Welcome" space in St Luke's each
week to help with high energy bills. As many local schools are now offering the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme,
we have decided after ten years to disconts'nue the Bronze Award bul will continue to support those working for the
Silver Award. We have also decided to discontinue the monthly online edibon of the Bowdon Church News as
much of the informal¢on is published in the weekly Friday Notices bul a paper edition will be distributed around the
parish three times a year- al Christmas, Easter and Harvest.
S. Worship and Misslon
Pastoral Carelsafeguarding
Under the new Diocesan senior leadership team, and rightly in51Sted upon by the House of Bishops and General
Synod, safeguarding is now being given a much higher priority in parish life. During the year our safeguarding team
¢onlinued its lermly meetings. Its duty of care includes the promotion of a safeguarding CL¢llure across all our
aeb'vities and the rolling out of the Diocesan safeguarding training modules among those who bear church
responsibilities. Ils role is also lo ensure our parish safeguarding policy is followed in 811 our endeavours. to handle
any safeguarding matters which may arise. and lo monitor the administration of DBS checks for volunteers working
with children, young people and vulnerable adults. We are committed to Bowdon Church being safe for everyone.
Our safeguarding policy was adopted afresh at the PCC meeting in July. In September our safeguarding officer,

Wll Tyler stood down after eight years of committed and careful work in this important role, for which we are very
grateful. Clive Seade has taken up the post. Wth plenty of experience in this field having just retired as head of a
local primary school, he has been proactive about completing all the training promptly and promoting the
importance of this area with the PCC, including putting 'Promoting a safer church, posters up in private places,
such as loilels. He is working closely with Kay lo ensure all members of PCC and people leading youth groups are
up lo date with DBS forms and training and meets regularly with hei and Jo Howling (warden with responsibility for

Childrgn and Families report
In the last year, the children and families ministy has gone from strength to strength. From September 2023, the
church has made great stftdes in making stronger links with our community.
In the December of last year. the primary school advent se￿l¢e$ went very well. Some schools had already wished
to be booked in for this year.
Links with local primary 5choo15 is going very well especialty BCS. We now have various links including after-school
clubs for years 112 ¢alled 'Failh and Fun,; Ethos group, which focuses on building the Christian Faith with the
children and a lunchtime club for year 516 focusing on discipleship for children. Church Led Worship assembly is a
regular occurren￿. In other local schools, including The Bollin School and Altrincham P￿paratOry School, we are
invited in lo give assemblies and talks on the Christian Faith and both schools make use of our church building for
curriculum lessons and services. Each year we are seeing an increase in new families in Zone 2 for worship stsmps.
stronger connections with families is a priority in Zone2 and this can include making sure that our congregabon in
Zone2 are welcomed right from the start with an welcome email sent lo them with a variety of different key
information regarding children 2nd farnilies in Zone2, as well as a whole parish.
First Steps is thriving with new ways of engaging children in stories and lessons. Families who have completed
their stamps requirements have said they will contsnue lo come until the summer because they and the children
enjoy it very much!
We had a very suc￿sSful 'Pafenling for Faith, course in the Spring, Wlth many families coming lo learn all about
what they can do to strengthen their own faith, but also their children. Feedback was positive and an online course
is going lo added lo the calendar in the new year. AS well a5 Parenting for Faith, we are hoping to start a new
service for families with a sport focus and this is called 'Sweaty church,.
Our Children Church groups are doing very well. On average we have 30135 children at Zone 2 each week. We
have some excellent church group leaders, who inspire children's farth through lessons and crafts. The leaders are
provided with a full year curriculum to base their sessions on. We believe that children are to learn all about the
different stories from the Bible bul also learn about how Christian values can have a positive impact on their
individual lives. The ¢hildren are also laught how to talk wrth God and listen to what He has to say lo them.
In St. Luke's the new advertising and re-bfanding of St. Luke'5 children's groups has given their children's ministry
a new lease of life. The groups run very well and the group leaders do a greatjob each week. Since last October,
the 4th Sunday of the month is an All Age Worship. Attendance is al a stable number and the service is always
well received.
In the De￿Mber, the prifflary school advent services went very well. The Children's Christingle services also went
extremely well, bringing ir¢ lots of people who would not have attended church otherwise.
Future plans are already in motion and we are in for a great ridel
Youth report
Over the last tsvelve months. our yoijth ministry amongst 11-18s has begun lo develop significantly following
difficulties with the Covid pandemic and its lockdowns. Both 'churched' and 'unchurched' young people have
been joining our various outreach prograrns and begun lo form relationships with our Youth Missioner, Sam, and
other adult volunteers. We hope lo see this ministy continue to grow in coming months as the buds of growth
begin lo blossom.
Our weekly Underground youth club has seen its numbers increase on average from len to fffteen a week,
peaking above tsventy al times. New volunteers have had lo be sought for the first tsme in years. At Undergrotjnd,
activity sessions around a theme have included looking al relationships, bullying, and the Trinity. Our sports
provision has improved thanks lo investment in new equipment and we hope lo develop this further as new
volunteers with a wider variety of skills get involved.
Our weekly Mettle discipleship group has consistently seen five young people d¢ve deep into the Bible, reading
through the entirety of Judges, Ruth, and Samuel as a result of the young people's interest and desire to learn
more about God. Alongside food and craft aclNitses and a dedKated team of volunteers, we have also seen one

natUTally grow as younger people are invited to join.
Our youth ministry in the local schools has been a consistent presence over the last ￿e1ve months. Our Youth
Missioner led a series of Christmas seNices for both Allrincham Grammar School for Boys and Altrincham Girls
Grammar School. He has also provided assemblies for all year groups at AGGS during Haryesl, Christmas, and
Easter. The Christian Union there, joinl-led wilh the Melhodisl Church and Trafford Youth For Christ, has also
had consistently high attendance from a wide range of year gfOUPS as they looked at Advent. friendships, and
prayer.
Our chaplaincy to the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme has seen our Youlh Missioner journey alongside foty
young people from beginning to end as they complete their Bronze Award This has involved activities looking at
what the Bible ha5 to say about teamwork, friendships, and perseverance. Numerous volunteers have been
Involved in this ministry as mentors lo the young people and we hope to see this continue in other areas of
church life. After many years, il was announced that the Bowdon DofE scheme would be finishing, as the local
schools are now providing this and dernand has redu￿d. Therefore, there were no new Bronze Award applicants
this September, although we have continued with the Silver Award for one last year. We hope that we can find
other way5 to welcome young people into our ChU￿h in the futu￿.
Our Sunday services continue lo be a place where young people are welcome and celebrated. We have seen our
Charge group, that meets within the Zone2 services, be an opportursty lo reach young people who werers't
originally part of any of our youth outreach now attending Underground regularly. This group runs from Years 4-7,
allowing the transition from primary to secondary, and Children's Missioner to Youth Missioner. njn mre

Our youth ministy at Bowdon Parish has overcome the Covid challenges well, in no small part lo the prayers of
many parishioners, but a widening of our team will be an important goal of the next tsvelve months. Please pray
for our young people who face new challenges in seeking God in a complicated world.
St Luke's Church Report
Over the last twelve months, Sl Luke's has seen ils numbers stabilise and recover slfghtly after a dip duftng the
pandemic, continuing with a mix of traditional clergy led Communion seN1￿$ and nxxlern lay led services.
The introduction of an electronic giving plate was embraced by the congfegation. and integrating modem
technotogy into the Service has streamlined the giving Process, enhancing the overall worship experience.
Sl Luke's maintsined its tfadilional celebrations. such as the Good Friday seNice followed by a communal Fish
and Chips meal and joined forces with St Mary's and Zone2 for the King's Coronation SeThice, demonstrating a
commitment to unity and shared celebration within the wider community.
The Ha￿&st service of 2023 was partIcula￿Y well attended, showcasing the congregation's support for children by
donating proceeds lo the Toybox Charity.
The Christmas period of 2023 was highlighted by a Chrisb'ngle and Nativity service led by the children that attracted
significant attendance for the seasonal celebrations.
Efforts to broaden the roster of service leader volunteers have been warmly received, underlining the church's
dedication to diversity and inclusivity in its worship and leadership.
Sl Luke's is looking lo engage particularly with the younger generats'on, with plans lo introduce a new communion
iniliats.ve for teenagers, pending PCC approval. This initiative reflects the church's forward-thinking approach to
faith formation and its commit￿￿nt to engaging youth in meaningful ways.
Outreach efforts, including a strategic leaftet drop and a¢Jvertisements in the Bowdon Church School News, aim to
bolster church attendance and engagement. These efforts showcase St Luke's proacts've stance on commltnity
involvement and its desire to extend its reach and impact within the local area.
Several social events are planned for 2024, including a social evening that invites past and present members of
the congregation to a Cheese and Wine evening in March. and a potential summer BBQ.
The past year has highlighted the ¢hurch'5 resilien¢e, especially in navigating the challenges posed by the absence
of a vicar since the summer of 2022. Sl Luke's has persevered and looks to thrive in the coming year.

Report and financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2023
St Mary's Church Report
During a vacancy, a parish is expected by the Diocese of Chester lo maintain its pre-existing pattern of worship. I
am happy to report that we have done this throughout the year. Thank$ musl go to our visiting priests Keith Hine,
John Sutton and Margaret Jones, to the members of the congregation who lead seryices. and to our Operations
Coordinator Kay Holl who arranges our service rota.
During the year several all-age acts of worship have taken place in both Sl Mary's and the Parish Centre where
the congregations of Sl. Mary's and Zone 2 have come together. Addrtionally, on special occasions such as the
elebration of the coronation of King Chartes, we have been joined by worshippers from St. Luke's.
Our main act of worship each Sunday is the 10 O'clock Eucharist which is enhan￿d by the singing of the Choir
and the number of volunteers who read lessons and lead our Inter￿sSIonS, for which many thanks lo all.
The other services in St. Mary's have rather smaller but devoted congregations, and it is everybody who makes
the continuation of worship in this place possible. Given that a church Iwrth a priestll in Bowdon features in the
Domesday Book that is a long continuuml
Finally I would like to thank everybody who has supported our worship by their presence in Sl. Mary's and their
generous giving, in time and money, to the running of the church throughout the year.
St Mary's Guild Roport
Sl Mary's Guild was started more than 70 years ago by women who wanted lo contribute lo the welfare tsf their
church in Bowdon. Members, now men and women, work by rota on Friday mornings. with duties during the week.
Altar flowers are provided and arranged each week and everyone shares in decorating for FeSt￿valS.
Other tasks include the care of fair linen, silver and brass, and changing the altsr frontals and curtains according
to the season of the Church's year.
Corporate Communions and Guild meetings are held ￿lce a year and members are encouraged lo be regular
commuriicanls. Each member has a copy of the Guild prayer and we say il together al the beginning of each
meeting.
Choir Report
The choir has enjoyed an active and rewarding year. The hi9hlighl of the summer was a week of 'choir camp, in
York. slaying at the University Sl John and singing services each day in York Minster. This was an inspiring
experience, greatly enjoyed by members of the choir, warmly supported by several members of our Cong￿gatIon
in Bowdon and hugely appreciated by the staff and congregation In York. Other highlights across the year have
included Choral Evensong at Wakefield Cathedral in February and the special servi¢es to mark the King's
Coronation
May.
We have recruited a lovely group of young trebles, who sing wrth great enthusiasm and commitment, and we have
three outstanding choral scholars, who have all made a fantastic Contribution lo the choir. Morale seems very high
we work hard in rehearsal bul have lots of fun as well. Choir members give a lol of time and their efforts are
greatly appreciated. Roger conbnues lo do a great lob and his steadfast support is appreciated. The choir works
hard loo in delivering many special services thToughout the year IAdvent, Epiphany Carols, Nine Lessons, All
Souls, Remembrance etc.} Nine Lessons this year was particulady oulstsnding and it was encouraging to hear
many appreciative comments from members of the congregation. It was also lovely lo join Zone 2 for a service last
term- it is great to find ways lo build links between the different congregations and worship together.
Glvlngs Team Report
Members of the Giving Team are Hilary Gartside Ichairl, Penny Cloney Isecretsryl, Gill Ayres, Gabby Campbell.
Helen Oakley, Sue Redford, Judith Robertson, Kale Slross, Christine Weekes and Linda Woods.
Much of the early part of the year was taken up getting to grips with organising the annual Christian Aid campaign
which cenlres on Christran Aid Week in the first half of May. After 11 very successful years as parish coordinator
for Christian Aid, Kale Slross stepped down from the role the p￿ViouS year and the huge amount of WOTk she had
done each yearto organise the door-lo-door delivery of envelope5 throughoutthe parish was divided up into several
dislincl areas betsveen members of the Giving Team, and Tami Bashir who did sterling service as Treasurer with
responsibility for banking the donations. In addition to the army of volunteers who delivered the envelopes around
the parish, were many individuals, who with their contributions to the event made our Christian Aid campaign very

much a team effort. The total donated in 2023 of £4352.91, including Gift Aid of £567.35, represented an overall
increase on 2022 of 15.6%
It was clear, however, that virtually all the donations made came from people who have a strong connection with
our church and for this reason the PCC approved the Giving Team's proposal that the door-to-door delivery of
envelopes throughout the parish would not be continued in 2024. Instead, envelopes will be made available to all
members of the church who will be encouraged to give online if possible. To boost our donations to Christian Aid,
the Giving Team is currently considering fundraising events lo be held in May.
Although the proceeds from the February clothing sale. the St Luke's harvest collection for Toy Box and the book
sale in aid of Tearfund were match funded, most of the £2500 sel aside by the PCC for matched giving in 2023
remained unused towards the end of the year. The PCC therefore decided to donate £1000 to St Mary's, Partington
and Carringlon and £500+ to Christian Aid al its November meeting.
Following on from our donation of £1000 to Sl Mary's, Partington and Carrington, we are aiming lo strengthen our
lies with Partinglon by holding a joint quvz night with them in April in Partinglon to raise funds for their mission work.
Support for the Hope cent￿ in Partinglon continued with a very successful flash designerlnew clothing sale in
February. Christine Weekes took over donations of food and household items to the Hope Centre each week and
virtually all the donations at Harvest, including the contributions from the church school, went to Partinglon. Sl
Luke's chose lo make monetsry donations lo Toy Box, a charity whi¢h strives to rescue children from living on the
slreets abroad.
The Community Shed continues to attract many donations destined for- amongst others- asylum seekers living in
the Ashley Hotel, Hale, and in other hotels in south Manchester.
Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of Jennie Lucas and Helen Oakley, we were unable lo tske part in the Angel
Tree Project in December as Prison Fellowship did not provide us with details of prisoners, children for whom we
would be buying gifts which would be given by their fathers. We might henceforth link with Styal Prison as Hilary
Gartside has learned from Anglican Chaplain Louise that she {Louisel works directly with churches who wish lo
buy children's gifts on behalf of the women prisoners there.
The remit for the Giving Team was approved eaAier this year by the PCC.
The Giving Team Bulletin which Penny Cloney prodU￿S three limes a year provides an excellent oveNiew of the
year's various giving initiatives in which church members are involved. There one can read of other charities we
support such as Compassion {child sponsorship at St Luke's and Zone 21 and The Children's Society, to name bul

Rgport and financial statements
for tho year ended 31 December 2023
Financial Review
Overall, income decreased on 2022 by approx. £7k lo £307k. The vast majority of this decrease is due to a
decrease in pledged and other forms of giving. Rental trom Stamford Cottage decreased as the propety was
vacant for 5 months of the year but is now let at a good market rent.
Expenditure remained stable and whilst appearing lo be £60k in excess of incoffe when viewing the total figure
this does not reflect the funds taken trom the reslricled fund Future fund for Youth. Overall our expenditure was
£26k over income lex¢luding restricted funds) and the operations Team is considering ways in which the decrease
in giving can be reversed $0 as to overcome this deficit.
We had built up a good cash balance and so the deficit this year has not led us to use reserves. Al the end of the
year we had a positive cash balance in our main bank account of £20k. This allows us lo keep cover for our day lo
expense5 but may be insufficient for the whole of 2024. This may lead us into using some of our reserves.
The lettings income for the Parish Centre and Sl Luke's has now exceeded all previous levels al £73k. We thank
Kay Holt our Parish Administrator for her hard work and good humour in dealing with our leltsngs and for the hard
work of our staff who ensure that our premises are clean and well managed.
We still hold monies in readine$$ for ￿paIrS to the Wall abulling Langham road and 8W8rt Diocesan approval to
commence this work. The money is unrestricted funds and the intention is to relain this money until we know the
cost of repairing the Wall.
The Quinquennial Inspections of St Mary's and St Luke's, carried out during 2020. require considerable work lo St
Mary's though this can be spread over a longer period. Some of the costs for the quinquennial can come from
Restricted funds Idesignated for exterior work for St Mary's) but olhef major costs for electrics can only be drawn
from designated or general funds.
We believe we have ended 2023 in a secure position and that we are in a reasonable place for the future subject
to retuming to a position on giving as we have seen in the past. We believe the arrival of a new vicar (after almost
2 years of interregnum) will assist with this.
Risk Management
The trustees have rev*ewed the major risks, financial and non-financial to which the PCC is exposed. in the
course of ils current activities. They have assessed these risks and ensured that appropriate systems and
controls exist lo minimise internal risks and the effective response mechanisms exist lo respond to and minimise
the impactof extemal risks.
The major risk facing Bowdon PCC generally relates lo Building matters- for example, major expenditure being
iequired on the refurbishmentof the organ and electrics at St Mary's church and repairs needing to be undertaken
to the Church Wall.
Plans for the future
The parish is very much in a 'holding pattem, without a vicar. We continue to run the pansh and deal with all
necessary business bul cannot plan for the future.
ReseNes Policy
Consideration is given each year by the PCC and the Standing Committee lo the level of reserves and a
delerminalion made as to the requirements to increase the balanees held.
As ststed above. we consider that the major financial risks are In u5 not having sufficient funds available lo pay for
fabric maintenance and our intentions in relation to this are slated above. We believe our decision to sell Priory
Street has rectified this.
Given the amount of unrestricted money we hold, the PCC has taken the decision that holding £20,000 as a
minimum of reserves in general funds is a sufficient safeguard ft)r us.

Recruitment and Training Trustees
New trustees are usually recruited from the many volunteers who assist in the funning of the PCC. As they will
already have an understanding and experience of how the PCC works, the committee do not feel it is necessary
to invoke a formal induction process. There is however, at the beginning of each PCC year an item in the agenda
to inform the Trustees of their powers and responsibilities.
Tru$tegs' Responslblllty Stslgmgnt
The Iruslees are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and the Financial Statements in
accordance withapplicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Iruslees lo prepare financial statements for each
financial year. Under that law the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with
United Kingdorn Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable
lawl. Ursder the law the trustees musl not approve the financial stslements unless they are satisfied that they give
a true and fairview ofthe stale ofaffairs of theeharity and the income and expenditure of the charity forlhat period.
In p￿parIng these financial stslemenls, the trustees are required lo..
selectsuitableaccounting policies and then apply them consistently
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP
make iudgements and accountsng estimates that are reasonable and prudent
prepare the financial stslements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate lo presume that the
charity will continue in operation
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accoltnting record5 that are sufficient to show and explain the
Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and
enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible
for safeguardir7g the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection
of fraud and other irregularities.
