ANNUAL REPORT 2020/21
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. (Psalm 46 verses 1-3, ESV)

Introduction
The primary object of St Alkmund ’ s PCCs is the promotion of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England. The incumbent is Rev Dr James Hughes
Our vision statement is ‘ Devoted to God, Devoted to One Another ’
St Alkmund ’ s provides support for a significant church community, as well as education in the Christian faith, and social activities open to the wider community, as can be seen from the following report.
In this report, after contributions from the Vicar, Churchwardens and Trainee Minister, and a report from the PCC, we will consider the ministry of the church under five headings: Sunday Services, Children and Youth Work, Discipleship and Pastoral Care, Evangelism and Mission, and Operations (which covers all the many activities we engage in to support our other activities).
Throughout the report you will see that we rely extensively on volunteers to enable our mission and ministry; their endeavours are incalculable and greatly appreciated.
This report covers a challenging period in the life of the church, including dealing with the aftereffects of flooding in November 2019, and Covid 19 from March 2020. These challenges are reflected in the reports which follow, which also highlight considerable encouragement from the last 18 months. Planning for the future at this time is not straightforward, but we are committed to restoring ministry as far as possible, reaching out into the community with the good news of Jesus, and in particular exploring our much increased use of social media and virtual technologies.

From the Vicar
Dear Friends,
Just nine months on from our last Annual Meeting, and we are perhaps not as far on through Covid19 as we hoped we might be. However, it is good to be finally looking to return to normal, and we are looking forward to being able to sing and share fellowship together on Sundays.
As you will see from the report, there is much that we were not able to do in 2020, but we give thanks for the technology that allowed us to keep going virtually, however unsatisfactory that was at times. It is worth remembering that our live streamed services have opened up what we do on a Sunday to a new audience. We have more people in small groups than we had before, even if we are only able to meet virtually at the moment, and I am very grateful to our small group leaders for all their work.
As well as saying farewell to the Barnsley family in May 2020, we also sent Helen and Will Hawley off to pastures new in December 2020, and I am particularly grateful to Carys Lesley and Gill Linford for all their work looking after our children and young people, with I know a great team of volunteers.
My thanks also to James, Diane and Emma, for all their work – much of it behind the scenes – keeping things going during a difficult year. We have our hall back, and we will soon be able to meet as we wish, so we rejoice and look forward to the future together.
Yours in Christ
James
Churchwarden ’ s Report
It has, to say the least, been an eventful 18 months to be a churchwarden - particularly one in his first term of office! When I first took up the role in April 2019 I had James Rollin to 'lean on' for advice, help and expertise, and I remain grateful to James for passing on the benefit of his experience and wisdom in our brief period of 'wardening' together. But within the space of a few short months, James was made assistant minister, requiring him to resign his warden's role, the church buildings were flooded, and finally we had to deal with Covid-19 - so it's fair to say things have not exactly panned out as I expected!
In my role as warden I have been able to contribute to the Vision Team overseeing the outworking of the 2018 Vision Day, and during lockdown as part of the staff team meeting remotely to help to put together our online services. In addition, James Hughes and myself have held bi-monthly 'wardens' meetings' which have, I hope, provided a useful means of mutual accountability for both of us.
I have continued to be supported in the role by a dedicated team of keyholders comprising Martin Boyce, Alastair Boyd, Martin Oliver and latterly Phil O'Brien who joined the roster in January. Between us we share responsibility for opening and closing the church and for some of the practical tasks that take place before and after services. This continued during our temporary exile to William Gilbert School in October and November last year when the keyholders played a valuable role in keeping the show on the road and has resumed since the resumption of Sunday morning services in July.
4
In addition to the keyholders, Mike Stanier continues to play a valuable role in helping to maintain the fabric of the building, with help from John Lound and Roger White, while Stuart and Irene Holmes continue to help out with 3rd Sunday Communion - or at least did until lockdown!
Looking ahead, the impact of both the floods and Covid-19 will clearly continue to reverberate in the coming year. Building restoration work is now nearly complete but further consideration will need to be given to how we can flood-proof the building as far as possible in future, while we will also need to consider how we maintain and build on the online presence that, by the grace of God, we have been able to develop during lockdown.
Because of the postponement of the April AGM I have now been sole warden for more than nine months. It has been a busy time for me and as we approach the AGM my hope is that I will soon to be able to share the burden of this ministry with a second warden.
Paul Linford
Trainee Minister ’ s Letter
I don ’ t need to remind you what a difficult time most of 2020, and the early part of 2021, has been. The vast majority of our church life as a Benefice has had to be online and though we rejoiced briefly at the reopening of both churches in the second half of 2020, we then had to close our buildings once again in the face of a further wave of Covid19 cases and the ensuring reinstatement of national lockdown.
Yet, even during these very challenging times, there have still been many encouragements . The recently revamped St Alkmund ’ s Parish Magazine has really come into its own as one of our primary communication tools with the wider community during the past twelve months and we have been able to successfully deploy this revamped format for a new and improved Parish Magazine for St Paul ’ s too, producing four seasonal issues to date, all of which we ’ ve had very positive feedback on from the wider village community in Little Eaton. (And please do continue to let me know of any ideas for future content for both of the church magazines!).
We ’ ve had to find new and different ways of ‘ doing church ’ , from online or livestreamed Sunday services on YouTube to our smaller midweek groups and meetings, and this has undoubtedly led to new developments, such as a number of new Growth Groups being formed at both churches during the pandemic, for example. (And I ’ ve really enjoyed hearing at Growth Group Leaders ’ Meetings of all the innovative and different ways that the various groups have continued to ‘ meet ’ during this time, from Zoom video calls through to WhatsApp and even the good old landline telephone!).
And looking ahead, as we slowly begin to return to normality and begin to recommence our usual church life, there are many exciting new opportunities as we look ahead. Having invested in the technology to enable us to livestream the services at both churches, we ’ ll be continuing to do so in future, to enable us to reach those who will still be unable to attend (even once all Covid19 restrictions have been lifted) church in person and we have plans to further develop our AV capabilities at both churches going forward. The church hall in Duffield is finally now back in full working order – and arguably in even better shape than before 2019 ’ s flooding! – meaning we can
5
restart our evangelism and outreach activities again – the plan is to set-up an evangelism steering group, to help co-ordinate events and activities. And the major reordering project is on the horizon at St Paul ’ s, which we hope will enable us to reach out even more with the wider community and give rise to new gospel opportunities.
So as we look ahead to the rest of 2021 and beyond, may we be reminded as a Benefice that (in the “ words of Matthew 16) the Lord Jesus … will build His church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail ” against it … . And as we look ahead to our various future plans as a Benefice, the bible reminds us “ ” too in Matthew 9 that … the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few … , so may I encourage us all to prayerfully consider how we might each play our part, as the Lord Jesus continues to build His church in both Duffield and Little Eaton.
And finally, thank you to everyone at both St Alkmund ’ s and St Paul ’ s for all of your continued prayers, practical support and encouragement; particularly during the difficult times we have faced as a family in early 2021.
James Rollin
PCC Report
Report on the Proceedings of the Parochial Church Council
It should be the duty of the minister and the parochial church council to consult together on matters of general concern and importance to the parish. (Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956).
The Council has met 6 times during the year, mostly on zoom due to Covid restrictions. The first item on the agenda is James ’ s Ministry Update in which he reviews the events of the previous months and considers how we should look to the future. This is followed by United Benefice arrangements, Evangelism, Building Projects, Finance, Staffing, Safeguarding, GDPR and Health & Safety.
This year has seen flood and pestilence, it has also seen a splendid financial response to our needs and God ’ s response to the needs of his people. Whether we meet in Church, Hall, homes or virtually, we are still in the presence of our heavenly Father and He is faithful.
Dove & Derwent Deanery Synod
In ‘ Normal ’ times there would have been three Synods during the year but in the shortened 2020-21 there has been just one. Main areas of discussion at the moment are the diocesan vision, and postCovid finances in the diocese. Duffield has one clergy and three lay members of synod.

Sunday Services
Our Sunday services at Duffield are normally at 10am and 6.30pm. The morning service includes creche and youth work for those aged up to 14. We also have an 8am communion service which currently at All Saints chapel on the 1[st] Sunday of the month.
During 2020 we continued our usual pattern of expository sermon series, seeking to explore the whole counsel of God. The morning saw us continuing looking at Matthew, In Isaiah, exploring Paul ’ s letter to the Philippians together, and continuing to work through the book of Psalms in the summer. Due to Covid we had very few evening services, but did manage to finish looking at 1 Corinthians and look at a few chapters of Joshua. As of June 2021, we are still awaiting resumption of evening services, which we expect to be in September 2021.
From September 2020 we began having all age services on the First Sunday of the Month in the morning.
We were online-only from March to July 2020, during November 2020, and from January to March 2021. From July 2020 when we have been in church, we have been live-streaming services, and that will continue into the future. we are looking at how to make this experience better for those unable to come to church.
We have also had to suspend most of our special events, with a very reduced Christmas and Remembrance, and haven ’ t been able to do prayer ministry since March 2020. We look forward to the resumption of these activities, later in 2021.
The music group continues to strive to provide music that enables the congregation to praise and worship God. We are very thankful for the small, dedicated team of sound men who are essential to ensure the sound the band is well balanced. They arrive on Sundays before the team and are often the last to leave! We much appreciate the work members of the music group have done recording songs for us to play during lockdown, and we look forward to being able to sing again.
Our bell ringers continue to encourage us into worship, and we are grateful that they have been able to resume ringing (albeit with reduced numbers) recently.
Our thanks go to our musicians, power point operators, sides people, sound team, coffee and tea makers, tidy uppers, creche helpers and heating keeping going-ers (and many others) who contribute so much to make sure we can meet together as God ’ s people every Sunday.

Children ’ s and youth work
This has been a very disrupted year for Children ’ s and Youth work, with many of our normal activities suspended or on zoom. Our thanks go to Helen Hawley and Carys Lesley for all their work keeping everything going online – including producing high quality all age slots through lockdown in 2020. We are looking forward to returning to our normal activities soon, as detailed below.
On a Sunday we have Sunday Club for 3-11 ’ s. Great thanks got to Gill Linford for all her work getting things going again between lockdowns! We also have Fuel for 11-14 ’ s. we have midweek youth groups Impact and Ignition, for 11-14 ’ s and 14-18 ’ s respectively. We have Salt Café before the evening service on the first Sunday of the month, and a Youth Band playing regularly at the evening service. We also hold a youth weekend away in Edale every year, and seek to run a Holiday Club in the summer – this wasn ’ t possible in 2020, but we are planning one for Summer 2021
Open the Book continues to be involved with William Gilbert under the leadership of Ken Spruce, teaching the Infant children every week, at least before Covid hit.
Discipleship and Pastoral Care
As God ’ s people, we seek to be devoted to God, and devoted to one another (Acts 2:42). We can do this as we meet together on Sundays, and as we read the bible and pray day by day. however, it is also good to take opportunities to meet together in small groups, to take opportunities to learn, and to look at ways in which we can care for one another.
Growth Groups have continued to meet during the year, sometimes following the morning sermon series, sometimes studying something different. We have seen an expansion in the number of growth groups meeting virtually since the beginning of lockdown, and we hope that some of those groups will be able to continue into face to face meetings as restrictions ease.
In normal circumstances we run Prayer Meetings on the first Wednesday evening of the month, Morning Prayer at 9.30am on a Tuesday morning in term time, Songs of Praise on the first Monday of the month, and Cake and Chat on the third Monday of the month. Morning Prayer currently happens virtually, and we have also added Reflections on the Psalms online on Thursday mornings, but we are looking to return to normality.
Our Pastoral Care Team has been reorganised, in line with our vision day from 2018, and once restrictions lift, we will be putting our visiting plans into practice. We continue to provide meals, a prayer chain, and under normal circumstances an annual Remembering Service for those who wanted to remember loved ones who had died. We are anticipating having more than one of these services in 2021.

Evangelism and Mission
Evangelism
Our main evangelistic tool during lockdown has been out revamped Parish Magazine. Alongside Jeff Taplin, who continues to do his usual sterling job as our magazine Editor (thank you Jeff), I am now co-ordinating the magazine ’ s content; do let me know if you think you might be able to write something suitable and many thanks to all our existing contributors. In particular, I ’ m keen to get some additional ongoing/recurring regular features set up, alongside Andrew Jackson ’ s excellent series reviewing various Christian books (and his great short stories!) and also the ‘ Monday to Friday Living ’ feature, where members of our church discuss how they ‘ live out ’ their faith day-by-day. Again, do please speak to me if you think you might like to be the subject of a future ‘ Monday to Friday ’ piece.
Mission
In 2020 at St Alkmund ’ s, we gave away 12.5% of the income we receive in planned giving, supporting various organisations, from other local churches in Derbyshire, to local and national charities (including our Patrons, Church Society and the Gideons), together with support for ‘ ’ international mission. We call this our stewardship .
The bulk of our overseas giving goes to our international Mission Partners; Dan and Vicki, Dr Ted, and Rachel Watts, who live and work at the Good News Hospital, in Mandritsara, Madagascar and Graeme and Bequi Innes, working at Oastea Domnului, an Evangelical church in Chisinau, Moldova, undertaking pastoring and teaching, evangelistic outreach and discipleship and training.
Look out for regular updates (and the occasional visit!) from our international Mission Partners during the course of the year and do please continue to hold them and their very challenging, but very vital, work in your prayers.
James Rollin
Operations
Operations covers all the things we do to keep doing all the other things we do: our finances, the website, social media, the office, cleaning, maintenance, working parties, keeping the heating going, and many other areas.
Again, as in so many areas of church life, this involves a large group of volunteers, who clean the church (often alone in a cold building), who mow the grass, and generally keep on top of everything. You can see the work Nick Peacock, our treasurer does from the following accounts. Out thanks to all our many, many unsung volunteer heroes.

Treasurer ’ s report for the year to 31 December 2019
Income increased by £17,671 (+9.6%) following a 6.7% fall in 2018. An additional £18,400 (from the £21,535 raised from the gift day) has been carried forward to cover part of the costs of the assistant minister for 2020 and 2021.
Expenditure increased by £8,052 (+3.8%) - almost entirely driven by a £10,938 increase in common fund paid to the diocese.
Cash available in unrestricted accounts on 1 January 2020 is £48,295 -a drop of £7,928 during 2019. A further £20,400 is held to cover additional staff costs already committed.
Nick Peacock
Safeguarding Report for Church AGM 2020
Like every other aspect of church life, safeguarding work has been seriously impacted by Covid-19 with the DBS and training processes largely on hold during the period of lockdown. Although some of the training has been able to be carried out online, two planned training days had to be scrapped and, with Diane unable to hold face-to-face meetings to verify peoples ’ ID in line with the Safer Recruitment procedures, the recruitment of new volunteers for the Pastoral Visiting Team and the renewal of existing DBS certificates has inevitably been delayed.
Eight DBS certificates technically expired during lockdown although all of these are at various stages of renewal. We still have a total of 72 individuals at St Alkmund ’ s who either have a valid DBS or are in the process of obtaining or renewing one, but some of those 72 have understandably chosen not to return to church since the reopening in July, meaning our normal pool of volunteers for help with different church activities is currently somewhat depleted.
The largest body of work which we had to undertake during the past year was in connection with Past Case Review 2, a Church of England-wide review of past safeguarding incidents involving officers or members of church staff dating back to 2007, which necessitated going through a large number of historic files and records.
As a result of the review we reported one incident dating back to 2010 which had not previously been reported to the Diocese at the time.
Other actions since the last AGM have included the following:
-
Gill and Helen started a series of joint safeguarding training and prayer meetings for all the children ’ s groups together with the intention that one of these should take place at the start of every term.
-
A new email address safeguarding@stakmundsduffield.co.uk was set up for people to report safeguarding concerns together with a new mobile phone number - 07486 560657.
-
A detailed training matrix was drawn up showing when each current DBS holder needs to repeat their safeguarding training.
10
-
A safeguarding page was added to the church website with a main menu link from the -
-
homepage: https://stalkmundsduffield.co.uk/church life/safeguarding/
As we go forward, we continue to pray for God ’ s protection on our children and vulnerable adults, and on all of us in our relationships with each other.
Paul and Gill Linford
Health and Safety.
Health and Safety continues to be overseen by John Oakley . Work in 2019 has included installing finger trapping guards on all internal doors in the hall, and a lock to prevent children ‘ escaping ’ from the hall during our baby and toddler group. We continue to keep a record of accidents, which are reported to the PCC as appropriate.
During this period, we have assessed changes in risk due to a number of new circumstances, including
-
The impact of the flooding on location of Sunday Club and Youth Work
-
Serving tea and coffee in church after the morning service
-
Covid-19

8. To consider any matters arising from the Minutes not otherwise covered on the Agenda
There were none.
9. To receive the revised Church Electoral Roll
In the absence of an Electoral Roll Officer, the Vicar announced that the number on the roll at this time was 150 compared with 148 the previous year. James invited anyone interested to speak to him about taking on the position available since Mick Amos moved to a church nearer his home in Matlock.
10. To receive Reports on Church Activities
The Report had been available in a new condensed format online and as a limited number of printed copies. Anyone was welcome to ask the office for a printed copy.
11. To receive the Accounts and Statement of Funds
The Treasurer, Nick Peacock presented the examined accounts which had been approved by the PCC before ‘ lock-down ’ in March and set out as an appendix to the annual report. The accounts were to 31[st] December 2019 which was 9 months ago. Net outgoings were just under £8,000 before set off by unrealised gains on investments. After several years of substantial rises in Common Fund paid largely by Duffield on behalf of the United Benefice, there is quite a modest rise in the current year and Little Eaton will be responsible for its own share. So together with both committed and unplanned giving there is cautious optimism from the Treasurer for future prospects.
The Treasurer will be happy to answer any further questions from congregation members.
13
12. To appoint an Independent Examiner for the year 2020/21
Nominated by Richard Lindop and seconded by Nick Peacock the meeting was pleased to endorse the appointment of Keith Gregory to the position for a further year with the usual honorarium.

Paul Linford recalled a first extended year as Churchwarden which no one could have foreseen. He thanked Marion Taulbut for her 15 years as PCC Secretary, James Rollin for providing initiation into the duties of a Churchwarden before he moved on to the greater things of Ministry. He thanked the Keyholders: Alastair Boyd, Martin Oliver, Martin Boyce and Phil O ’ Brien for their reliable help setting up and closing the church for services, particularly Richard Burton for his help in putting in new wiring and live streaming services, James Rollin and Jeff Taplin for the Magazine, Janet Roulstone for organising the necessary cleaning, Rosemary Bull for redesigning the Hall kitchen, the Staff Team for coping with diminished and ‘ flexy ’ office arrangements and everyone who helped to keep Ministry available on-line by recording prayers, readings, sermons and music for transmission. We have 72 volunteers with valid DBS certificates.
So, thanks to all who have worked for the church this year, through flood and Covid 19. Applause…………………………………….
14 The Vicar ’ s Report
James began by recounting the story of Mordecai and Esther who prayed and fasted ‘ in such a time a this. ’ In such a time as that, when the Jews ’ existence was threatened it was necessary for everyone to do what was needed in the time and place where they were and with whatever talents were at their disposal. This applies to us now – in these challenging times we should make the best of things. No one should expect it to be easy.
We can plan but not be surprised if plans are set aside by events.
-
We are meeting together and at 70+ have reached morning socially distanced capacity.
-
So on 11[th] October we hope to start 6.30pm services
-
Possibly no piped music – could try reading Psalms
-
1 Family Service each month
-
We will carry on live-streaming in the mornings as long as there is a need but on-line worship does not provide fellowship and the sense of giving praise. We can maintain connection with people we know but it ’ s hard to get to know new people that way. However, Zoom may not be fun but we must persevere and keep in touch with one another.
-
Morning Prayer may start again after Half Term
-
Sunday Club is starting up in the Hall.
-
Communion Services will recommence at All Saints ’ Chapel on 18[th] October.
-
Communion Services by Diocesan instruction should be of bread alone, no wine, because little cups are said to be illegal and the common cup is a health hazard. The PCC has asked James to go to talk to the Bishop about this.
-
James particularly asked people to keep in touch with him; not seeing people on Sundays doesn ’ t necessarily ring alarm bells now
14
The Challenge is How do we reach out with the Gospel?
We must keep up with Community involvement where possible and pray to be inspired in
conversations with friends in the street
The new improved Magazine is very important. 1,000 copies are being delivered.
Remembrance Sunday will not involve 100 ’ s of people; just a few at the Memorial and a legal number in church.
Some plans being thought out for Christmas but the details cannot be settled far in advance.
We must trust God to help us here and now and show us how to reach out to the world ’ s needs.
15. To arrange a date for the 2021 Annual Church Meeting
Wednesday 28[th] April 2021
16. To raise any matter of general parochial interest
Paul announced a Churchyard Working Party to be held the following Saturday 3[rd] October
17. The meeting closed with prayer at 8.50pm.

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST ALKMUND, DUFFIELD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2020
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 together with applicable accounting standards and the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP). The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. Investment assets are valued at Market value.
Funds
General 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. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted.
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
Voluntary income and capital sources
Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving under Gift Aid is recognised only when received. Income tax receivable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised. Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement, the amount due is quantified and its ultimate receipt by the PCC is reasonably certain.
Funds raised by the Garden Party, Christmas Fair and similar events are accounted for gross. Sales of books and magazines are accounted for gross.
Other income
Income from the letting of the parish hall is recognised when the rental is due.
Income from investments
Dividends are accounted for when receivable. Interest entitlements are accounted for as they accrue. Tax recoverable on such income is recognised in the same accounting year.
Gains and losses on investments
Realised gains and losses are recognised when investments are sold. Unrealised gains and losses are accounted for on revaluation at 31 December or when appropriate.
Resources used
Grants
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC.
Fixed assets
Consecrated land and buildings and moveable Church furnishings
Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by s.96(2)(a) of the Charities Act 1993.
Moveable church furnishings held by the churchwardens on special trust for the PCC, and which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted for as inalienable property unless consecrated. They are listed in the church's inventory (which can be inspected at any reasonable time). For inalienable property acquired prior to 2000, there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the accounts. No such items have been acquired during the year.
All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings, individual items under £1,000 or on the repair of moveable church furnishings acquired before 1 January 2000 is written off.
Other fixtures and fittings
Equipment used within the Church premises is depreciated on a straight line basis over 3 years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £1000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.
Investments
Investments are valued at Market Value at 31 December.
Current assets
Amounts owed at 31 December in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors. Realised gains and losses are recognised when investments are sold.
Unrealised gains and losses are accounted for on revaluation at 31 December or when appropriate

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 43(7)(b) of the Act and to be found in the church guidance, 2006 edition. That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent Examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
1) Which causes me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
a. to keep accounting records in accordance with
section 41 of the Act; and
b. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the requirements of the Act and the Regulations 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.
