## **Structure, governance and management** 

The PCC has been formed under the Parochial Church Council (Powers) Measure 1956. The PCC is a Registered Charity. 

The appointment of PCC members is governed by and set out in the Church Representation Rules. PCC members are recruited in a number of ways. The clergy, churchwardens and the treasurer are members by virtue of their office. Deanery Synod representatives are elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) and hold office for three years. Other members of the PCC are elected annually at the APCM, for a three-year term of office.  Additional members are coopted for specific skills they possess. 

New PCC members are provided with induction training, and PCC members are provided with training as necessary to enable them to carry out their role effectively. All PCC members complete safeguarding training at basic level, or at a higher level if needed by their role in the church. 

The PCC makes all decisions corporately except that the Standing Committee has delegated powers to make decisions between PCC meetings subject to keeping the PCC informed as fully as necessary. 

The PCC is responsible for all parish finance, its management and control, including the appointment of a treasurer. Members of the PCC are responsible for keeping accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the PCC and which enable them to ascertain the financial position of the PCC and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and the Statement of Recommended Practice on Accounting and Reporting by Charities SORP (FRS102). The PCC is also responsible for safeguarding their assets and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The PCC is also required to ensure that the financial statements are examined by an independent examiner or auditor prior to presentation to the Annual Parochial Church Meeting. 

In preparing the financial statements, the PCC is required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent 

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

- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will remain in operation.

There are the following committees and groups: 

Standing Committee - This committee consists of the Rector, the Churchwardens, the Assistant Churchwardens, the PCC Secretary, and the Treasurer. It has power to transact the business of the PCC between PCC meetings, reporting to the full PCC as appropriate. It also oversees financial matters: considering and recommending to the PCC the budget for the coming year and monitoring expenditure against that budget. 

Groups reporting to the PCC include the Strategy group, the Children's Worker Project Management group, the Technology Advisory group, the Pastoral Care group, and the Church Hall Committee. 

The Church is part of the Aylesbury Deanery, which is part of the Diocese of Oxford. 

## **Risks and reserves** 

The PCC has reviewed all the risks faced by the Church and has put in place measures aimed at managing those risks. The PCC has examined the charity’s requirements for reserves in the light of the main risks to the organisation. These risks include the costs of maintaining a medieval building which can suffer from sudden deterioration that is expensive to remedy. The PCC has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should be a minimum of four months of expenditure. 

Budgeted expenditure for St Mary's for 2023 is £224,911 and therefore the target is £74,970 in general funds. The reserves are needed to meet the working capital requirements of the charity and the PCC is confident that it would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding. As at 31 December 2021 the free reserves for St Mary's, which exclude those invested in fixed assets and those in restricted and designated funds, amount to £68,061 plus the expendable endowments of £58,823 which could be realised without excessive delay if the need arose and the PCC considers this a satisfactory position. The PCC reviews the reserves policy annually. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The objectives of the PCC are defined by the Parochial Church Council (Powers) Measure 1956 as 'to co-operate with the minister in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical'. 

As a Church family and as individuals, Princes Risborough Parish Church aims to offer worship worthy of the living God. We aim to be an open, welcoming, prayerful, Bible-centred, Spirit-filled church that is for all ages and led by God: where lives are changed and people go out committed to being active disciples for Jesus. Our vision is: "Sharing the love of Christ with all". 

The PCC has reviewed priorities and put in place a series of courses to encourage us in our discipleship, together with opportunties for corporate prayer, both inperson and online. A trained prayer ministry team is ready to respond to those seeking prayer. Life Groups (small groups where members share an interest, meet regularly and pray for each other) have continued during the year. 

The Church aims to give 20% of its budgeted income each year to other organisations involved in mission in the UK and overseas or involved in humanitarian relief and development work. Members of the Congregation are invited each summer to propose charities to receive awards. Submissions are collated and put to the PCC, which votes on which charities it wishes to support in the following year. 

The church relies on the voluntary work of so many people within the church, and the PCC very much appreciates their service to the church and our local community. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

We have offered regular traditional Anglican as well as contemporary worship, and services in a range of styles to mark major festivals. Following the removal of COVID restrictions, a smaller range of services have been live-streamed online. Civic services and special services for community uniformed groups have resumed. 

Discipleship courses have also restarted, as well as an autumn Alpha course, and weekly Sunday morning children's work. We have continued services and activities to reconnect with church members, both adults and children, and to offer family-friendly ways to connect with St Mary's for the first time. Play Café, a free Tuesday morning activity for pre-school children and carers, started in February. There were regular Messy Church and Reconnect events throughout the year. Pastoral care has continued to be a major part of our ministry. The electoral roll has stayed constant at 180. Our Vision 2020 continues with our five mission priorities of Discipleship, Prayer, Children and Youth, Seniors, and New Residents. Underpinning our life at St Mary's and St Peter's is our shared set of core values based on God's Grace: Going deeper with God, Reflecting Jesus, Alive to what God is doing, Changing Lives, and Empowered by the Spirit. 

Two legacies totalling £15,000 were gratefully received during the year. The PCC's policy for the use of legacies will be developed further during 2023. We have continued to support the food bank run by One Can Trust based in High Wycombe. One Can has a Princes Risborough hub, supported by St Mary's and others, which serves about 10-20 families in Risborough. A one-year interim Children's Ministry Project finished in September 2022. This had funded a part-time paid post of children's worker, supporting children and families at St Mary's and in our community and local schools. Planning has started for a longer-term project in 2023-24. Children's ministry projects are supported by designated pledges from the congregation. 

## **Financial review** 

The result for St Mary's PCC in the year has been an overall net surplus of £8,459. Parish Share was 43% of total expenditure as shown in the P&L account for St Mary's PCC. The PCC is projecting a deficit of £45,461 for the year to 31 December 2023, and has underwritten this from free reserves, on the basis that it will encourage mitigating measures, including raising giving and temporarily reducing charitable giving to 15% of income, to seek to break even.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** 

## **Note 1** 

|**A**|**Basis of preparation**|
|---|---|
||The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006, the Charities Act 2011,|
||applicable accounting standards and the Statement of Recommended Practice on Accounting and Reporting by Charities SORP|
||(FRS102).|
||The accounts are drawn up under the historical cost convention as modified by the inclusion of investment assets at market value.|
||The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. These accounts do not include the|
||accounts of Church Groups that owe their main affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of Church|
||Members.|
||The total income has exceeded £100,000 in 2022 and the main PCC accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis, in line with|
||best practice.|
|**B**|**Accounting policies**|
||**Funds**|
||Unrestricted funds are general funds available for the general objectives of the Church.|
||Designated funds are unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the PCC for particular purposes.|
||Restricted funds can only be used for the purposes for which they have been given, within the objectives of the Church.The cost of|
||raising and administering such funds are charged against those specific funds.|
||Endowment funds are restricted funds which must be held permanently and the capital maintained while the income is restricted, or|
||which are only accessible after giving notice to third parties and complying with conditions to access the capital.|
||**Incoming resources**|
||All incoming resources are included in the SOFA when the Church becomes legally entitled to the income and when the amount can|
||be quantified with reasonable certainty.|
||Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving is recognised only when received. Grants and|
||legacies are recognised as soon as the PCC becomes aware of its legal entitlement and the amount due is quantifiable with|
||reasonable certainty.|
||Income tax recoverable on gift aid donations is accounted for when the gift is received, not when the tax refund is received.|
||When incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising income) the incoming resources and the related resources|
||expended are accounted for gross in the SOFA.|
||Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the Church or the amount actually realised. Gifts in kind for|
||use by the Church are included in the SOFA as incoming resources when receivable.|
||Rental income from letting the Church Hall is accounted for when it falls due.|
||Dividends and interest are accounted for when received and include any recoverable tax.|
||Realised gains on assets held for the Church's own use are accounted for at the time of sale.|
||**Resources expended**|
||Expenditure is included on an accruals basis and is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay for goods or|
||services.|
||All costs have been directly attributed to the various categories within the SOFA.|
||Any general support costs have been allocated across activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources based|
||on an allocation of actual costs.|
||As the Church is not registered for VAT, all expenditure is shown inclusive of VAT where applicable|
||Governance costs include the cost of the preparation of the annual accounts, the cost of PCC meetings and the legal cost of advice|
||on governance or constitutional matters.|
||Grants and charitable giving are accounted for when paid over or when awarded.|
||Parish Share is accounted for when paid except that any Parish Share unpaid at the end of the financial year is provided for in the|
||accounts as a constructive obligation.|



## **Fixed assets** 

Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by s.96 {2} {a} of the Charities Act 1993. No value is placed on movable Church Furnishings held by the churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for their disposal since the PCC considers this to be inalienable property. 

Items of equipment where the purchase price exceeds £1,000, for a single item or a group of similar items, are capitalised in the year of purchase. 

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, except for the Church Hall, at rates calculated to write off the cost evenly over the expected useful economic life of the assets at rates between 20% and 33⅓% of cost per annum. No depreciation is provided on the Church Hall as any charge would not be material due to the long expected useful economic life and because its expected residual value is not materially less than its carrying value. 

## **Current Assets** 

Investments are valued at market value on 31st December 2022.

Princes Risborough with Ilmer PCC participates in the Pension Builder Scheme section of the Church Workers Pension Fund for lay staff. The Scheme is administered by the Church of England Pensions Board, which holds the assets of the schemes separately from those of the Employer and the other participating employers. The PCC currently has two active members of the scheme. The PCC contributes 5% of pensionable salary as an employer's pension contribution, plus 0.5% for life insurance. 

The Pension Builder Scheme of the Church Workers Pension Fund is made up of two sections, Pension Builder Classic and Pension Builder 2014, both of which are classed as defined benefit schemes. Princes Risborough with Ilmer PCC participates in the Pension Builder 2014 section, a cash balance scheme that provides a lump sum that members use to provide benefits at retirement. Pension contributions are recorded in an account for each member. This account may have bonuses added by the Board before retirement. The bonuses depend on investment experience and other factors. There is no requirement for the Board to grant any bonuses. The account, plus any bonuses, is payable from members' Normal Pensionable Age. 

There is no sub-division of assets between employers in each section of the Pension Builder Scheme. The scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS102. This is because it is not possible to attribute the Pension Builder Scheme's assets and liabilities to specific employers and that contributions are accounted for as if the scheme were a defined contribution scheme. The pension costs charged to the SoFA in the year are contributions payable (2022: £1,538, 2021: £1,014). 

A valuation of the scheme is carried out once every three years. The most recent scheme valuation completed was carried out as at 31 December 2019. The valuation revealed a surplus of £5.5m on the ongoing assumptions used. The CWPF actuarial report as at 31 December 2021 shows an estimated funding position for the scheme of £12.8m. The next full valuation, at 31 December 2022, will be available in early 2024. 

The legal structure of the scheme is such that if another employer fails, Princes Risborough with Ilmer PCC could become responsible for paying a share of that employer’s pension liabilities
