INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE BENEFICE OF CENTRAL SWANSEA.

I report on the Financial Statements of the Benefice of : Central Swansea

for the year ended 31 December 2020 which are set out on pages 4 to

Respective responsibilities of Parochial Church Council and Examiner:

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. 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.

It is my responsibility to:

• examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;

• to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5))b) of the 2011 Act: and

• to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of Independent Examiner’s report:

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 accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanation from you as trustees 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 accounts present a true and fair view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

I have seen neither records nor independently examined accounts of Christchurch nor St Mark & St John, and therefore my report is limited to the joint benefice account.

Independent Examiner’s statement:

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect

• (a) accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act; or

• (b) the accounts do not accord with the accounting records

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

Independent Examiner:

Signature: Date: 16[th] February 2020 Name: Gillian Knight Qualification: BA, FCA Address: 105 Frampton Road, Gorseinon, SA4 4YR
