## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of St Peter’s Management Group**
I report on the accounts of the church for the year ended 2020 which are set in pages of the Annual Report.
## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
The church’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The church's 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:
- Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act);
- To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
- 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 you as 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**
_Since the gross income for the year exceeds the amount provided in section 145(3) of the Act, I confirm that I am qualified to act as Independent Examiner under the provisions of that section of the Act and that my qualification is as shown below._
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- 1 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or
- 2 to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

## **Income**
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
## Voluntary income and capital sources:
Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the Charity
Grants and legacies to the Charity are accounted for as soon as the Charity is notified of its legal entitlement, the amount due is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt by the Charity is reasonably certain.

Rental income from the letting of church premises is recognised when the rental is due.
## Income from investments:
Interest is accounted for on a receivables basis.
## Gains and losses on investments:

## Volunteer help:
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts.
## **Expenditure and liabilities**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the Charity is responsible in law. They 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.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

With reference to St Peter’s Church the flats for rental shown represent two flats that were gifted to the parish in 2000, with the London Diocesan Fund acting as Custodian Trustee. The redundant Church had been converted into eleven flats by developers during 1999/2000 and by gifting the two flats it was envisaged that the parish could rent out the flats to produce income. At the time of the gift local managing agents Messrs Taylor Gibbs were asked for a valuation and visited the properties. A figure of £300,000 for each flat was considered a reasonable valuation and brought into account by way of creating an endowment fund. It is understood that the flats could be sold if the decision was taken and the endowment created would be expended at that point. The flats were most recently valued in 2018 by the local letting agents Messrs Taylor Gibbs each for £650,000.

## **ST. PETER'S ASSET MANAGEMENT GROUP**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2020**
## **9 FUND DETAILS**
_Designated funds_
Designated funds are unrestricted funds that are designated for specific purposes.
The balance on St Peter’s designated fund is £10,000 (2019: £10,000). This is being held for replanting.
## **10 STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES REPSONSIBILITIES**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the Trustees to prepare statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period.
In preparing these accounts, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which 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, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They 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.
## **11 ROUNDINGS**
The figures shown in these accounts are in some instances the result of rounding adjustments. The underlying amounts are accurate to a penny and have been rounded to the nearest pound. This has the effect that some totals in these accounts may not be exactly equal to the sum of their constituent amounts.
## **12 ULTIMATE CONTROLLING PARTY**
The charity is controlled by the members of the St. Peter's Asset Management Group who act as Trustees.
## **13 REMUNERATION TO TRUSTEES**
No trustees or persons connected with them received any remuneration.
