## **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF TISBURY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **Year Ending 31 December 2022** 

## **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.

|---|---|---|
|||£3,321|



## **Note 11.  Diocesan share** 

Diocesan share is the amount requested annually by the Diocese of Salisbury to fund the stipends and housing for clergy plus other diocesan operating costs. The 2022 diocese share request was for £63,318 (2021: £60,303) and the PCC was able to pay £30,000 (2021: £30,000) towards that request. The accumulated unpaid balance of £157,137 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 2022 was £33,764 which complies with the minimum reserves balance policy.
