FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR

The accounts are seriously affected by the regulations imposed by the government
from March 23[rd] which amongst other limitations prevented most meetings
The Church's main source of income is the planned giving which has for many years
been operated through a gift aid scheme, a full renewal of which took place in
September 2017. The amount received in 2019 was £54,405. The scheme basically
encourages the payment of regular giving, usually by means of bank standing order
or giving envelopes, with the view that income tax is recoverable on the giving
under Gift Aid.   Other normal income consists of collections both at normal
services and specific services such as in respect of weddings and funerals. The
church is thankful for legacies. We were be able to reclaim tax on various sources
of income to a total of £17,365.
The principal item of expenditure is the parish share.  This is an apportionment of
the costs of the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham based on their actual and
potential Church membership and ability to give.  The amount apportioned to Arnold
by the Gedling Deanery for the year to 31 December 2020 was £74,424. The figure for
2021 is £77,844.
The PCC is responsible for the maintenance of the church buiilding and for clergy
expenses. The church was insured for fire during the year for £11,180,000.
The church tower was repaired during the year and some minor works remain.
The other main items of income and expenditure relate to the Church hall (or Family
Centre). This is now insured for fire during the year in the sum of £2,900,000.
This is mostly let to church related organizations and receipts from this are shown
at some £5,772 for the year.  The cost of maintaining the building was £18,978.
The government restriction on meeting apart from the pre-school caused almost all
other use to cease from the end of March.
The total church expenditure for the year was £145,287 and the total income was
£121,007 leaving a deficit of income over expenditure of £24,280.
The PCC own a property at 22 St Mary’s Close for church use.  It was donated to the
parish for use by a curate and is now being rented as no curate has been allocated
by the diocese. It is insured for rebuilding costs of £238,645
Grateful thanks must be offered to the many members who do unpaid work to enable
the church to function so effectively.
These accounts have been prepared under the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 and
in accordance with the Charities SORP 2005 (FRS 102) and applicable accounting
standards

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in
accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual
accounts of PCC’s together with applicable accounting standards and the current
Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP102).
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any
restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general
purposes of the PCC.
Restricted Funds comprise revenue donations and grants for a specific PCC activity
intended by the donor. The appeals in respect of work on the tower/roof and the
organ are restricted funds. Three small items have to be completed on the tower
which although started early in the year had to be halted for a period in the
spring to meet government regulations. One donation by agreement has been used to
meet the shortfall on the house at St Marys Close when acquired.
Designated funds are general funds set aside by the PCC for use in the future.
The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is
responsible in law.  They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe
their main affiliation to another body or those that are informal gatherings of
church members.

Incoming Resources

Planned giving, collections and similar donations are recognized when received. Tax
refunds on gift aid donations are recognized when the donation is received.

Other Income

Rental income from the letting of church premises has been recognised when the
rental is due

Resources expended

Diocesan parish share is accounted for when due.

FIXED ASSETS

Consecratedpropertyand MovableChurch Furnishings
Consecrated and beneficed property is not included in the accounts in accordance
with s.10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011.
Movable church furnishings held by the vicar and churchwardens on special trust for
the PCC, and which require a faculty for disposal, are inalienable property listed
in the church's inventory which can be inspected (at any reasonable time).  For
anything acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available
and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements. Subsequently
no individual item has cost the church more than £1,000 so all such expenditure has
been written off when incurred.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in
accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual
accounts of PCC’s together with applicable accounting standards and the current
Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP102).
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any
restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general
purposes of the PCC.
Restricted Funds comprise revenue donations and grants for a specific PCC activity
intended by the donor. The appeals in respect of work on the tower/roof and the
organ are restricted funds. Three small items have to be completed on the tower
which although started early in the year had to be halted for a period in the
spring to meet government regulations. One donation by agreement has been used to
meet the shortfall on the house at St Marys Close when acquired.
Designated funds are general funds set aside by the PCC for use in the future.
The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is
responsible in law.  They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe
their main affiliation to another body or those that are informal gatherings of
church members.

Incoming Resources

Planned giving, collections and similar donations are recognized when received. Tax
refunds on gift aid donations are recognized when the donation is received.

Other Income

Rental income from the letting of church premises has been recognised when the
rental is due

Resources expended

Diocesan parish share is accounted for when due.

FIXED ASSETS

Consecratedpropertyand MovableChurch Furnishings
Consecrated and beneficed property is not included in the accounts in accordance
with s.10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011.
Movable church furnishings held by the vicar and churchwardens on special trust for
the PCC, and which require a faculty for disposal, are inalienable property listed
in the church's inventory which can be inspected (at any reasonable time).  For
anything acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available
and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements. Subsequently
no individual item has cost the church more than £1,000 so all such expenditure has
been written off when incurred.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST MARY’S CHURCH, ARNOLD

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020, which are set out on
pages 6 to 10.

Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Independent Examiner

The charity trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under
section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent
examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement

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 PCC 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 management committee concerning any such matters.  The
procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a
full audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.

Independent Examiner's Statement

In connection with my examination, no matters has come to my attention:
(1)  which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the
requirements
.  to keep accounting records in accordance with s. 130 of the 2011 Act; or
(2)  to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.
