## **PCC MEMBERS’ AND TRUSTEES’ REPORT**
The PCC members and trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 which were approved at a meeting on 22 March 2022.
## **Activities**
The sole activity of the charity during the year was conducting the affairs and managing the assets of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Tisbury in the Church of England diocese of Salisbury.
## **Financial statement highlights**
The PCC’s activities and finances were affected in 2021 by the Coronavirus pandemic. The closing of the church for community worship for a large part of the year contributed towards a lower level of collections than hoped for and the persistence of Coronavirus prevented staging normal fundraising events. The main PCC operating costs continued unabated. The PCC is very grateful for the receipt of two significant legacies totalling £40,000 and in 2022 will determine how these will be deployed.
At December 31 the PCC was solvent and it reports a reduction in the general fund for the year of £545. The PCC has substantial assets under its control, but these are mostly designated or restricted funds earmarked for specific projects and activities reflecting the basis on which the funds were raised or donated and on allocations agreed by the PCC.
The PCC paid £30,000 of the £60,303 diocesan share amount requested by the diocese in 2021. Had it paid the full amount it would have been in contravention of its reserves policy, against the Charity Commission’s guidelines.
The financial health of the PCC remains dependent on the goodwill of the many volunteers who support the PCC’s activities and on the parishioners and others in the community who provide financial and other support.
## **Basis of preparation**
These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 following the receipts and payments basis of accounting. The PCC considers 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.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report**
I report on the financial statements of the Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Tisbury for the year ended 31 December 2021 which are set out on the following pages.
## **Respective responsibilities of the PCC (Trustees) and Independent Examiner**
The PCC (charity’s trustees) is responsible for the preparation of these financial statements in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006. It considers 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 financial statements under section 145 of the 2011 Act
- follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **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 charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from the PCC 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 financial statements present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent Examiner’s Statement**
In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention
- 1) which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
- a) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
- b) to prepare financial statements which accord with these accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Charities 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 financial statements to be reached.

## **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF TISBURY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
## **Year Ending 31 December 2021**
## **Note 1. Accounting policies**
The financial statements of the PCC have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 using the receipts and payments basis of accounting.
In these financial statements:
_Unrestricted funds_ are funds which can be used in accordance with the PCC’s charitable objects at its discretion.
_General funds_ consist of unrestricted fund money that has not been set aside for any specific project. The day to day running costs of the PCC are normally paid out of general funds.
_Designated funds_ are set aside by the PCC out of general funds for specific projects. Designated funds are still unrestricted and can be moved to other unrestricted funds or re-designated if the PCC so decides.
_Restricted funds_ can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the PCC. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

## **Note 9. Fixed assets**
Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with section 10(2)(a) of the Charities Act 2011.
Movable church furnishings held by the churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal, as well as other fixtures, fittings and equipment where the PCC is free to dispose of such assets without faculty and where the original cost was £1,000 or more are recognised but not assigned any value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
## **Note 10. Agency**
The agency collections that had not been paid to the recipients at the end of the year were to St John’s Choir £3,256 and Save the Children £65.
## **Note 11. Diocesan share**
Diocesan share is the amount requested annually by the Diocese of Salisbury to fund the stipends and housing for clergy. The 2021 diocese share request was for £60,303 (2020: £60,303) and the PCC was able to pay £30,000 (2020: £30,000) towards that request. The accumulated unpaid balance of £123,819 is not shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability since it is not a legal obligation and the likelihood of it being paid in future is uncertain.
## **Note 12. General fund reserve policy**
It has been PCC policy to maintain a balance in the general fund to cover emergency situations or a sustained reduction of income or increase in expenses. The PCC has agreed that the minimum level of reserves in the general fund should be £25,000, to be reviewed annually. The general fund balance on 31 December 2021 was £32,171 (2020: £32,715) which complies with the minimum reserves balance policy.
