OBJErnVES AND ACTivrriES
Aim and Purpose
The PLJrw)se of the Parish of Witnbledon is to suppK)rt the missK>n and ministry of each of its four ¢hurthes in worshipping
and serving God in the Parish, with and through the pwle of its congregations.
Objectives and activities
The PCC is committed lo enabling as many people as rA￿"￿e to bwyship at the four dIffe￿￿t churches in the Parish and
to 1￿CoMe part of the parish community. CAJr services and worship tmjt faith Into practice through prayer and scripture,
music and sacrament. The 0￿ratIon of the four churches relEs on the significant involvetnenL suptw)rt and valuable skills
and experience of volunteers.
The memLErs of the KC have had regard to the (hafity Commission s guidarKe on public benefit in planning the activities
of the charity. Grant5 and donab'ons are made at their discret￿ and in accordan￿ with the tharitable purrKJses and
objectives of the Parish.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The following actwities were carried out by the PCC during the yeai:
The Parish
We have now run a full year ar￿ an Annual Parixhial Church Meeting {APCMI using ¢wr new governance structures and
they have served us well. We a review after the APCM. The￿ was a discussion of the way the team was functioning
at a PCC meeting after the Team Rertor vi51ted each of the Distrirt Church Committees to canvas their view5. The restx)nse
to the governance structures was g(Mxl, d￿hoUgh questw)ns ￿Ere raised atx>ut the value ol being a team.
Managing and overseeing the Parish finances has contr"n￿￿ to be a strugg￿. We dechled to apwint a paid Head of
Finan￿ to cover the PCC Treasurer role and to try streamline the ￿)Dkkeeping between the churche5 and the
team. Unfortunately, it has been very difficull to fiThl the rKJht person to take on the role and after a year of trying we
have now agreed to get the y￿rk done through a contract with a kKal accountancy company. We hope that this will
provide a 9(xxJ level of congstency and continuity in managing our finances, lyiwever we are still seekn.ng someone to
take on the role of Honorary T￿aSurer and a member of the Èrc and Trustee ofthe Charity. Like many other voluntary
organisatDns we are finding rt more difficult to recruit volunteers. l am very grateful to our Parish Operab'ons and Finan
Manager for maintaining the tXK>k keew'ng and fillan￿5 over the kst year.
We held a team Lent course this year led by The Revd Clive Gardner on prayer and spirituality. It was excellently aitended
and well appreciated by those who participated. A sfflaller group went on to do a further course led by Clive in the summer
months. There ha5 been a renewed interest in 5writuality prayer ￿entlY and rt is good that the parish has been
resrM)nding to it as well as the individual (hurches.
The PCC ￿(eIved a legacy from Jean Robertson in D￿rnL￿r 2021 to ￿.￿sed for the sUPPOrt of people who 'have fallen
on hard t￿me5, and are in need.. After discussion we agreed that the ￿$t way to administer this was through our two
church schcK>ls. We are reimburgng up to £2,500 a tertn spent by Sch￿1$ to suprx)rt children in need in their schi)ols.
This supp(rt can range from help with sch(KJl unifortn and sh(ks to sup￿tr"ng school lunches for those whD are not
eligible for free school meals but might otherwise n<* have a lunch, fcth vouchers for farnilies, 5UPPDrting children to go
on schod trips who might not othemise do so. It has iEen g(MxI that we have already had other contributions to the
fund from people who See the value of It and would like to suptrt)rt It.
Our church sch(ds supFx)rt a very wide (*m(NJratthic of thildren, and it in these tsmes of austerity to be able to
5UPPOrt some of the most vulnerable meM￿r$ of our l(tsl community.
Finally the whole team adopted the Churchsuite system for managing electoral roles and cotnmunications with members
of the congregations to ensure that we a￿ GDPR cofflpliant. Many thanks g(> to the Revd Nils Bersweden for managing
this and training members of the team in how to use this powerftjl l am sure it will be a great asset to mission and
help us work in our churches and together MO￿ effectively.

st Mary's Church
We lavnched our new Mission Artii)n Plan at the end of 2022 and have seen goKKS progress on achieving our goals since
then. Our first priority is to make St Mary's more vislble in the local and wider community. We have achieved
two of the three goals we set ourselves in this priority and made gwd prcgress with the third. Our second Goal was to
update our church webg'te and this was completed and relaunched last year.
The new website has t￿en well r￿1Ved. We have moved event hire iKK>knngs enttrely online improving efficiency and

Our third goal wa5 to change the fomat of our Annual Review and to disth.bute it to our IcKal area. The new review was

Our second prlorlty Is to deepen the prayer life of the Congregation. The Prayer Group set up as part of the
second goal now well established and has pr(￿u(ed 3 series of lovely prayer cards which have been printed. Each
week in Lent an electronic version of ¢)ne of the cards has I￿n sent to the whole con9regation. The cards have traditional
prayers, texts from the Bible and prayers written by members of the group. They have greatly enhanced Lent this year
and we look forward to the completKM) of the prOJ￿t.

This year we have finished the repairs to the interior of the church. The [￿aSter is now sound and the damage to the
plaster and paint work from the water Ingiess has I￿en repa¢red. The previous repairs to the rcKJf and copings have
ensured that the rtt)f is now watertight, a￿hOUgh we stsll need io ath1ress the issues with rising damp and the need for a
new system to manage the rainwater frorn the roof.
We also completed major repairs on the st(x)e work of the tower, whKh was dan￿rOUSlY decayed in y)me a￿a$. We have

On Saturday 3rd June ￿ final￿ held our k)ng-awafced ¢Jd Testament in One Day c(yJrse, iry Rev'd DerrKk Thompson

Saturday 17th June fflarked ￿Jr yearly &Jmmer CorKert, and it was orfft again a joy to see the church filled with so many
people.
We marked Michaelmas on Ctt 1st, this time IK6b"ng the Bishop of Kingston {Marb"n Gains￿roUghI, whc) presided

Our Carol servi￿ (Ctc 17th) brought in g(xyJ numbers. and due to the church being double tx)oked, we had to move the
Crib Service {Dec 24th) into the chLFrch hall at the Fast minute - but t worked all the better for it, with there really being
'no room at the inn..
Clergy across the country have been mulling over their Christmas num￿rS, suggesting trnth a recovery from COVID, but
also the shift away from Midnight Mass and Christmas Day priorth'5ing attendafi￿ at the Carol Service.
We have held occasional services of DKldy DIsci￿e5 around the Ma￿ feasts. I conbnue to try and work out how to move

I know that we are not alone in trying to work this out as a church. The most notable change is a handful of farnilies
bringing their children to the 10=15 servi￿. The rnore this is done, the nmye their joyful presen￿ with us is normalised.
On 26th Jan, our conservator wsited and gave us an uplated quote to repair our attar reTedos in ho￿ of at least holding
back the further decline of the P￿Ce. More surprisiNJty. he also in5￿cted the font during his visit in preparation of ￿pairing
the font cover, when he discovered that the Presen￿ of lead oxide, ￿rhapS from the font being cOVe￿d for so long.
Ingestion of lead oxide is an unlikely hazard, but the font was sealed for safety putpDses. We have informed our insurers,
and are awaiting a quote for the repair of the font. We have kindty twn loaned a spare font by Holy Trinity. Merton, which
was used on Easter Day. Protratted dixussion ￿ this matter has followed, but with no real conclusion to date.
Sometirne around Nov 20th, our ￿Co[ding system, which has wo¥ked well for over three years, decided to fail. I remain
unclear as to the details, but several SeThi￿5 were recorded but couldnt found on the system. The system hds been
completely reset, and 5erwces now ap￿ar to be online. I continue to suspect that the enbre audio 5y5tem has wn better
day5 and could be replaced, and I hope to prop)se this to the DCC ir) 2024.
Our mailing list has inueased from 179 to 192. Six contacts asked to LE removed. and three have died.
This year our average attendance at the main servKe increased fr(xn 40 to 44. We held at least four funeralslmemrials,
two weddings, a renewal of vows, and four bapi¢sms.
St Matthews
The purpose of St Matthew's Church is to prcKlaim the GcM)l News of GoKI's Kiogdom through worship, seNing the people
of our parish, caring lor the vulnerable, advancing peace and ju5ti(e, and developing our church family as a cornmunity of
God'5 Love Whe￿ all are welcome - with no exceptions.
The most significant event of 2023 was the (￿partU￿ of the Rewj Dr Helen Orchard after 13 years as our vicar. Helen's
last service was Easter Day, which saw over 200 people come to see her off. For the vacancy tr￿￿een vicars our curate,
the Revd Ala5tsir Newman, has ￿en asked to knk after the churth. The worship life of the church has continued without
Interruption, together with the usual rLsn of ¢xcasional 0￿￿e5 - bapknsms, funerals, and preparing children and adults for
confirmation. Lent, Holy Week, Easter, Advent and Christmas were Ma￿ed in our (Mn particular way, St Matthew's being
the only church in the area offering ArwJk*atholK worship.
The scKial life of the church c(M)tinues to be imrxirtant. In March we held our annual quiz in the church hall - a sellout
event that has become a fimi favourite in our S￿la1 calendar. Our leaving party for Mthr Helen was held at the West
Wirnbledon Bowls Club {smmediatety adjacent to the chuithl and was very well attended. Fairs in Nay and November bring
many local people into the church, a5 well as showcasing the dan￿r5 of the West WimNedon Dan￿ Academy who a
based In our church hall. Our Fair5 are 31so an essential Sour￿ of funds to suptth the church's mission and ministry.
OL5r external speaker programme continued this year, with two events fofming a mini-series titled "Spotlight on Social
justi￿. In July we welcomed speakers from EXt1￿10n ReLEllion, and in November we hosted an interfaith LGBTQ event,
with guest speakers Rabbi Adrian Schell lof Wimbledon Synagogue) and the well-known Christian writer Revd Dr Charlie
Bell. In July, St Matthew's took a paity to march with Pride in London, a fiist for the church. We a￿ proud to display oui
Pride "lollipop" at the frtsnl of the chur(h to adveth'5e our commitment to trEing an Inclusive Church.
The relationship be1N￿n St Matthew's Church and our sdKd has gone from St￿nYth to streThJth. The church and school
take pride In seeing themselves as one big St MattheWs famity. Members of ihe church serve as foundation governors and
help younger children with their reading, and our curate runs a wee￿Y chess club in the schcx)l. We have continued to
welcome classes frorn the sch(d to church to learn al￿t astEcts of the Christian faith, as well as welcoming the whole
schwl land parents} for key seNices throughout the year- at Easter, HaNest and Christma5, and our Sch(￿1 Leavers, and
Newcomers, IBlessin9 of the Backpacks) ServKe5. 2023 was also a year of change for the sch(K)I wth the headteacher,
Mr Gary Quinn, stepping down at Easter to tnove abroad. The churth h65 SUPtX)rted the schwl through this transition,
and the school was rated 'GooKI' in both Ofsted and SIAMS inspection5, ￿Ults with which they were delighted. With
pnmary schc(Jl rolls falling across London (by more than 20% in some Ixxoughsl, St Matthew's school has bucked the

St Matthew's continues to run with a small deficit lar￿n￿ IO% of irKome) and there are plans in to address this.
We have taken the decisK)n to reduce the hcxjrs of our contrarted cleaners, and have reduced our budget for additional

Increase in booking5 of our hall ar￿ church, induding the return of the rK)pular Bach to Baby concerts. We have a number
of capital projects on the horizon. Our orgaTI needs some remedial work to repair ageing ￿Ik>W5. Our poorly Insulated
church means that our heatirKJ bills are hwh, and have risen significantly in line with energy prices. We are therefore
working as a church to impTove our energy eff10e￿, in particular l(K)king at options for replacing our ailing 1970s

a great many community events, within the main trThly of the church (￿UpIed at different times by a variety of choirs

recoverable from HMRC. However, this givin9 fell in 2023 by 7% from £416.357 bn 2022 to £385,582. This follow5 a
14Wo drop in 2022 from levels of giving in 2021 which is an unweknme trend. (Aher voluntary giving such as weekly
collections and one-off (ionabons did inctrease from 2022 levels, LKM)Sted by the In￿ased use of contactle55 giving

Income from the letting of premises continues to i* a svjnificant income Sour￿ for the parish. both St Maik's and

to continue and develop their mini5try- It is by m means ideal for the Churche5 to ￿ heavily reliant on this income
source, as was demonstrated during the ¢owd pandemic, but it remains a very imwjrtant funding stream to support the
ongoing work of the Parish.
Following the redurtion in planned giv¢ng, (hurch letting5 has now the largest sirrfjle incoFne source across the
Parish. This derives from lettings by the four chufthes of theif buitdings halls. There wa5 a m(Klest Increase from

legacies are an uncertain Source of irKome not factored into annual budget5.
Income from investments showed a further irKrease in 2023 as strxk markets recove￿ further al￿ interest rates rose.
This income consists firstly of interest and dividends which amounted to £36,155 In the yea¥12022.' £27,333}. Secondly*
renta1 income is generated from the fouf GaIust￿n Flats l¢xated near to St Mark's church, car parkn.ng spaces at st Mark's
nd from the Team curate's house in Thornton Road which wa5 rented all year. It should of course be ￿rnembered that
rents from Thofnlon Road cannot te regarded as rkmwr*nt and expett8J to be called back Into clergy use in
2025 if not before.

Expendlture
Expenditure as a whok InC￿aSed to £1,449,087 compared to £1.269,166 in 2022 whKkn is a substantial 14.2% increase
year-on-year.
As 15 the case in most financial years, the lar9est single ¢￿oing is the F¥rish's o)ntributson to the Di(Ke5e' Parish
Supw>rt Fund. These funds are used..
to provide clergy for the Partsh.
to support the administrative £05ts of running the DKKese.
towards the training and development costs for the devebpment of paid and unpaid staff.
to supp)rt the wider ministry of the Anglican fellowship.
The Parish sent £402.687 in 2023 (2022- £399,375) to the tIc￿n Parish Fund, a pledge made in the autumn
of 2022. This was a 0.8% increase but the overall contritxjbon remains far short of pre-CovKJ 2019 levels of £417,382.
Significant sums were spent on property maintenance during 2023. This will always be a significant expense given the
historic nature of the buildings being maintained. Total Maintenan￿ costs amounted to E368,644 compared to £143,443
in 2022. Of thi5 C05t, St Mary's spent £265,454 which induded significant repairs to on the Church Tower and Church
Cl(Kk with associated architects fees. St lohn's also 4)ent over £60.OC(J on repairs and improvernents. Thankfully, much
of the expenditure was covered by restricted ￿SerVeS already in hand, In particular from the Charles Eglington Bequest.
This shows the Importan￿ of legacy bequests when historic bU1￿1￿g5, and the parish is very thankful to those past and
present who have remem1￿￿ed the Church in their y￿115.
Wages and staff costs was the next largest area of eX￿n￿lture In ariy year. Total staff costs amounted to £176,454
which was an Increase of 9.6% from 2022 where the c¢)st was £161,060.
Church running expenses conb.nued to be h￿h, increasing frotll £97,732 in 2022 to I117,6[￿ in 2023. Utility costs (Gas,
electricity, water rates etc.) were 77.9% higher in 2023 compared to 2022 ¥eflerting the large pnce increase5 seen as a
result of conflirts arwnd the wor￿.
A final area to bring to attention is the ex￿ndit￿re on auditing and accotjntancy. This remains a significant cost to the
parish at £27,722 which is a marginal increase from the prevK>us year. We have contsnued to need to use external
aS51stan￿ for accounts p￿pa￿tIon and consolidation wrth fewer volunteers ready to att a5 near full-time workers on
this èrea.

TRUSTEES, REPORT (continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
Unfortullately, the plan to ￿¢ruit a finance officer has suffered setbacks and an app)intment was unable to be secured.
The Parish is grateful forthe assistan￿ of Caladine in regard to the year end pr(Kess, arKJ for the patience of its auditors,
Jacob Cavanagh and Skeet. Moving forwards. the parish has now engaged a kK31 firm of accountants to assist with
day-to-day Ix)okkeeping, ￿gUlar management accounts ar￿ to assist at the year-end audrt pr￿eSS which it is hopEd will
reduce the overall costs and provide a more cotnpreherh5ive oversfght of the finan￿S.
Cash at Bank and Debtors
Cash at Bank shrunk during the year by É193,432 to £852,779 12022- £1.(H6,2111, but this decrease was offset
somewhat by an Increase in the valL* of Debt{￿ of £49,tK)3. giving a Debt(Ks balan￿ at year end of £149,50612022.'
£100.5031.
Fixed Asset Investments
The investtnents at the end of 2023 were valtjed at £606,762 (2022.. E692,472). down by £85,710. There was a
withdrawal from investments of É131,527 was made during the year, partly to fund work on the tower at st Mary's. The
investrnents distx)sals We￿ made at a profit from their ir¥itial purchase cost. Overall, there was a ￿)sitIve movement on
the market value of the investments of £45,81712022- reductm in value £110,871) as the stock market recovered a
little of previous losses.
Investment Properties
Investment properties were revalued at the year end there was a small increase in market value of £50,000. This follow5
the significant redu£tion in value in 2022 of É365.(X)O. The year end valuation ankn)unted to El,700,000 12022..
£1,650,000}. The woperties were valued by a tral Chartered Sutvey.
Con¢lusion of 2023 Financial Review
The parish continues to operate at a significant deficit ￿ unresthrted fijnds which cover the day-to-day rLtnning costs
and it is clear th1S Sltuation cannot contirkue it)definitety. It is etKouragin9 to see resources being used in the service of
the Lord and his Church and to rewrt on the many ways he has blessed the ministry in oui parish. It is a ble55ing to
have signifKant reserves to t* atrAe to continue and grow the work.
Moving fO￿ards, the parish will ￿ Iwking to tske steps to stem the defiot to a long-term sustaTnable level to secure
ministry in the years to con￿.
Reserves policy
It is the PCC policy to try to maintain a balan￿ on unrestrited (general) reserves to ensure they cover at least three
mollths, unrestritte(J payments as this Is felt to LE ne￿sSary to 0tcomm￿ate any Unr￿eseen fluctudtFons in income or
expenditure. Free resefves at the balan￿ sheet date arwhounted to £1.050,152 {2022: £1,143,842> which is significantly
more than the rM)licy recommends.
The Parish held £3.981,825 of general lindthliThJ designated funds) as at the end of 2023 {2022'. £4,085,524) and
£2,580,730 (2022.. £2.647,0031 of Restricted funds. The Restrirted fund5 a￿ held pn"marily for use ori the upkeep and
maintenance of the Parish's buildings (see nole 13 for more details).
Investment policv
The comrnittees of the Parish and the churthes each detemiine if reseryes are to LE invested twnd holding cash in
bank account which currentty delivers no ￿ very low rates of ¥eturn. An InveStr￿ nt may be made as a result of re￿Iving
a lump sum or, if general reserves are in ex￿$ of what the commttees determine sh(>uld be held, a5 cash or quasi cash.
Approved investments include CBF Chufch of England investment fund held at CCLA, also other funds or detxjsit accounts
which May be selected from time to time and investment propErty. The objective of the Trustees is to maximise retum to
the Charity, but also to preserve capital, monitoring returr15 and intended uses of the money Invested.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
As mentioned aiJ)ve. the Parish Housing Projert Y4as mothballed at the end of 2022 after successfully achieving planning
permission for the prowsed develotynent two new clergy IN)uses to repla￿ the existing dwelling on the 3 Arthur Road
site. The project 15 founded on the prinriple that it would involve ￿-deploYIng Parish asset5 but will not involve taking on
any debt. The decisi(N) to mothba15 the project for at least a year was taken reluctanuy but was made in view of rising
building costs and reduced valuation of the Pansh's investment assets descriiEd above.
St Matthew's plans to wholly cha￿e its church heating system wrth new technobgy heat pumps. The knowledge and
experience this will bring into the Parish should tsenefit all four d)urcFEs over b'me.

PARISH OF WIMBLEDON
TRUSTEES. REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The PCC Is a Charity registered with the Charity Commission (see LElowl and is a body corporate incorwrated under the
Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956 further governed by the Church Representation Rules 2020.
structure Governance and Management
The Parish has four churches located In WimNedon atMI Raynes Park. It is part of the D￿￿eSe of Southwark within the
Church of England. The correSponder￿e address is 30 St Mary's Road, London SW19 7BP. The PCC is a body corporate
IPCC Powers Measure 1956, Church RepresentstK)n Rules 20201 and a charity regulated by the Charity Commission.
The method of appointment of trc mem1￿r5 is based ttt Church Representstion Rules and a constitution based
these nJ1es adopted in 2023. The Wimbledon Parish KC consists of the Teaffl Rector and StI￿ndIary clergy IS￿n$ed tr)
the beneff1￿, Pansh Wardens, District Churd) Wardens, tkanery Syrmxl representatwes of the d)urd)es, a Secretsry, and
an Insuran￿ Offi￿r.
The PCC members are reswn5ible for making deasions on all mattefs of general concern and irnrKJrtance to the Parish,
including de£￿Ing on how the funds of the rfc are to be spent. Pay levels for all personnel aim to be at a similar level to
those in similar employment wthin DKKe5e.
The PCC met five times during the year with most memlkrs In atter￿ance at each meeting. Each of the four churches has
its own church committees, which meet regulaily thi￿ghOut year.
Induction and training of new Trustees
Initiated in 2022, new PCC members re￿1ve formal induttK)n training Sh￿ afterioining. All PCC members are specifically
urged to study the Chanty Commission 5 guidarKe for trustees and to undertake online safeguarding training in line with
Diocesan rM)liry. New joiners a￿ issued with an Int￿uCtOry pack explaining the workn'ng of the PCC and re5ponsibililies
as members ofthe PCC immedÈately after theyjoin the Ffc. ￿1 Ffc mefflLErs are required to undertake basic safeguarding
training.
As a150 tnentioned, in 2022 PCC fflemters were given a briefing on how to sp)t and avoid fraud, something that will be
repeated per1￿1(ally.
Risk management
The PCC delegates risk management to 6 Sta￿l￿g C(¥nmittee ownership and Maintenan￿ of a Risk Register.
The wincipal risks facing the Pansh in its 0￿rat￿M1 relate tt> [KJsSii￿ fraud against its money held in banks, vulnerability
lo IT problems and assoKiated disaster recovery, safety in its building5 which are heavity u5e(5 and the fabric of which in
some cases dates back centuries. the rossibility of damaging safeguarding issues and vulnerability relating to key
administrative roles both volunteer and patd. The KC ￿lieveS it has suitable mrtigation measure5 in plate to manage
these risks. Finally, Ctsvid reminds us of the risk that some extemal fartor could severely cut the hiring out of premises
urA)n which such a large tX)rtion of income rests. Tl*re is no ready mibgation for this other than maintsining reserves.
Longer term there is a risk of decliniThJ church rnefflLErship and of fewer Voluntee￿ ￿adY to take on roles which Inevitably
increa* in onerousness owing to legislation. There is also the inevitable increase In building maintenance over the longer
term as buildings age, although all four churche5 have a rigorojs inspection regime backed up by five-yeaily Independent
in5pertions of the churches themselves by t)j(Kese-app￿￿ted architetts to ensure where ￿)SSIble that strurtural problems
are identified early.
To mitigate financial risk, the Parish maintsins an adequote level of reserves and, as a group of four churches, SUPPDrt
orie another in times of need. The Parish hekl a useful balan￿ of bank funds at the year*nd which also helps to mitigate
future financial risks.
In addition to these operational risks, the Pèrish is dilwJent in a￿￿.￿g the dir￿se'S procedu￿$ and training ￿lating to
safeguarding.

The Parish of Wimbledon

inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be

Independent auditor's report to the members of the Parochial Church Council of
The Parish of Wimbledon (continued)
Audltor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been aptK>illted as aUd￿r under Sect￿ 145 and rewrt in acu)rdarKe wth ihe Act and relevant regulations made
or having effect thereL5nder.
Our objertives are to obtain reasonabk assurnrKe alK)ut whether the finarKial statements as a whole are free from material
misstatement. whether due to fraud or erior, and to issue an auditor's report Ihat includes our i)piniDn. Reasonable assuran
is a high level of assurance. but ts not a guarantee that an audit condutted in accordan￿ wf(h ISAS IUKI will always detect
material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fra￿j or error and are considered material if, Individually
or in the aggregate, they COU￿ reasonably ￿ expEtted to influe￿? the eronomic (Jeasions of users taken on the basis of
these financial statements.
The extent to which our prtxedures a￿ capable of detecb.ng iryegularrties, induding fraud is detailed t*low'.
Based on our understanding of the charity, we identsfied that the rKincipal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations
related to employment, financial reporting legislation and health and safety regulations and we considered the extent to which
nor)-compliance might have a material effert on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulation5 that
have a direct Impact on the ￿ParatIon of the financial statetnents such as the Charth"es Act 2011.
We assessed the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to mateiial misstatement, induding obtaining an
understanding of how fraud might (￿cur, by makn.ng e￿UIrieS of management, cons#lering the internal controls in place and
discussion amongst the engagement team.
We determined that the principal risks were related to Irhcorrect reLKxJnitwJn of legacy income, managetnent bias in accounting
estimates, valuation of property, presentation of separatety disc105ed itetn5 and management override of controls. In response
to the risks identified we designed procedures which included, but We￿ not limited to reviewing all information available on
legacy income and asking for updates on any further informatK)n right up to sign off, challenging significant accounting
estimates such a5 valuation of F¥operty, agreeirYJ financial statement disclosu￿5 to under￿1ng supporting dDcumentation,
identifying and testing journal entries, reviewing PCC meeting minLrtes and evaluating the chanty. internal controls.
There are ￿nhe￿nt limitations in the audit pr¢xedvres descriLEd aiK)ve. The removed that laws and regulatiws are frotn
financial transartions, the less likely it is that we WOU￿ itcome aware of non-com￿lanCe. Material misstatements that arise
due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that aiise from error as they may involve deliirrate concealtnent or (ollus￿rn.
A further description of our re5wn5ibilities for the audit of the financial statements is l(oted on the Financial Reporting
Council's website at.. Iwww.frc.org.uklauditorsrestxJnsibilities]. This descripb.on forms part ol our auditorfs ￿pOrt.
Use of our ￿POrt
This ￿[KIrt Is made solely to the PCC memi*rs, as a iKKly. in accordan￿ Part 4 of the Charrttes (Accounts and Re￿rts)
Regulations 2008. Our audit work has Iken undertaken so that we fflwjht state to the PCC members those rnatters we are
required to state to them in an auditorfs rep)rt and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not
accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than Ffc the KC memLErs as a bcKJy, for our audit work, for this
