The Parish derives its governance from the Diocese of Southwark and is part of the Church of England.  As with all other parishes in England, the Parish is now required to obtain independent registration with the Charity Commission.  The Parish was formally registered on 30th March 2010. 

Members of the PCC are either ex officio or elected by the Annual Parochial Church Council Meeting in accordance with the Church Representation Rules and the formal Diocesan arrangement for the governance of the Parish.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** 

## **TO TRUSTEES OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF** 

## **MORDEN PARISH** 

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Parochial Church Council of Morden Parish ('the Charity') for the year ended 31st December 2024, which are set out on pages 5 to 17. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. 

I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that, in any material respect: 

(1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

- (2) the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

- (3) the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2024** 

## 1. **ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Accounting basis** 

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Team Parish Morden Surrey is a charity in England / Wales. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements.  The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church. 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. 

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value.  The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £1. 

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.  These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. 

## **Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

The preparation of the financial statements requires the members of the PCC to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported.  These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 

## **Funds** 

Unrestricted funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use. 

Designated funds represent funds designated by the PCC for a specific purpose.  Such funds are still unrestricted and may be re-designated by the PCC. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor. 

Endowment funds have similar restrictions with the additional proviso that only the income can be spent without permission from the original donor or the Charity Commission.

**MORDEN PARISH** 

# **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2024** 

## **(continued)** 

## **Income recognition** 

Collections and stewardship giving are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. 

Legacies are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement, the amount due is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt by the PCC is reasonably certain. 

Income tax recoverable on covenants or gift aid donations is recognised when the related income is recognised 

Rental income from the letting of Church premises is recognised when the rental is due. 

The Churches are greatly assisted by voluntary help and donations in kind.  These are not reflected in the financial statements as they are not capable of accurate financial measurement. 

## **Expenditure recognition** 

Resources expended are recognised in the period in which they are incurred.  Resources expended include VAT which cannot be recovered. 

Grants are made by individual DCCs and are recognised when the grant is approved. 

## **Fixed Assets** 

Consecrated and benefice property is excluded from the financial statements by section 10 of the Charities Act 2011. 

Movable Church furniture held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are accounted as inalienable property and are listed in the inventories of the Churches. 

All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or benefice buildings and movable Church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

Freehold Land and Buildings have been included at market value upon incorporation of FRS102. It has not been possible to obtain historic costs for certain properties due to the historic nature of their acquisition. 

The members of the PCC are currently considering a suitable method of depreciation of these assets.
