The accompanying notes form a part of these financial statements. 



**PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF DANEHILL & CHELWOOD GATE** 

## **NOTES  TO  THE  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS (continued) FOR  THE  YEAR  ENDED  31  DECEMBER  2021** 

## **d** _**Resources used**_ 

Resources expended are accounted for on an accruals basis and are accounted for gross. 

## _**Grants**_ 

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded where the award creates a binding obligation on the PCC. 

## _**Church Activities**_ 

The diocesan parish contribution is accounted for when paid.  Any parish contribution unpaid at 31 December is provided for in these accounts as an operational (though not a legal) liability and is shown as a creditor in the balance sheet. 

## **e Fixed Assets** 

## _**Tangible fixed assets**_ 

Consecrated and beneficed property of any kind is excluded from the accounts by s.96(2) of the Charities Act 1993. 

Movable church furnishing held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted as inalienable property unless consecrated.  They are listed in the church's inventory which can be inspected. For inalienable property where there is insufficient cost information available, such assets are not valued in the accounts. Individual items acquired over £1000 have been capitalised in the accounts and depreciated over their useful economic life. 

All expenditure on consecrated or beneficed buildings and individual items costing under £1000 are written off in the year they were incurred (immediately if covered by specific grant or bequest). 

As the expenditure on the improvements at the Chelwood Gate Church will be funded by a legacy and fundraising, and the property is not registered as an asset in the accounts, and also will not affect the PCC's ability to pay its parish share, these costs will be written off in the year that they occur. 

## _**Depreciation**_ 

No depreciation is provided on freehold property as it is the PCC s policy to maintain these assets in a continual state of sound repair.  The useful economic life of these assets is so long and residual values so high that any depreciation would not be material.  These assets will be subject to annual impairment reviews. Provision will be made if there has been any permanent diminution in value. 

## _**Investments**_ 

Investments are stated at market value at the balance sheet date and are Charifund Income Units and National Savings Income Bonds. 

## **f Current Assets** 

Amounts owing to the PCC at 31 December in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors less provision for amounts that may prove not collectable. 

Short term deposits consists of the Virgin Money Charity Account. 

Cash at bank includes the Verger's, Noahs Ark and Parish Magazine petty cash floats. 

## **Reserves policy** 

- **g** It is PCC policy to maintain a balance on the "Unrestricted Funds" which equates to approximately 6 months recurring operating costs against unforeseen situations. 

The balance on the Designated Fabric Fund is built up as a provision against the estimated costs of the next quinquennial inspection, together with the PCC property maintenance obligations.

The fabric fund and the property decorating funds are treated as unrestricted funds as they are financed from agreed PCC transfers from the general fund. They are used towards funding the future costs of any significant building, repair and maintenance work that may arise in the future, specifically the next quinquennial. 

The endowment is comprised of 41 Oaktree Cottages (previously Robins); it is an expendable endowment.
