## **Parish of Central Swansea (Formerly RBCS) Report 2021** 

The main activities of the benefice have been to collect and collate monies from the three churches within the Parish of Central Swansea. The methodology being to receive payments quarterly from each of the three churches and to transfer the quarterly sum to The Diocesan Centre, Brecon. 

In addition to addressing the parish share, benefice churches usually contribute on a quarterly bases (or when deemed necessary), sums of money to cover such expenditure as paper copying (reprographics), clergy expenses and other costs deemed payable by the parish. A regular Benefice payment was made at the beginning of 2021 £150, £200, £300 respectively: Hafod, Christchurch,St. Mary Account Number: ****2723, Rectorial Benefice of Swansea 

Parish Share (Ministry Share) for 2021 totalled £43,525.67, this was paid in total to the Diocese and on time. Bearing in mind the difficulties experienced due to the pandemic and subsequent church closures, St. Mary's church experienced an expenditure over income (loss) of £34,395, St. John's losses amounted to £2,186 . Christchurch ended the financial year without having to incur financial losses. 

The annual return follows the standard format taking into account restricted and unrestricted funds. To this end the individual churches have completed their annual accounts for the financial year 1[st] January 2021 to 31[st] December 2021 and are attached to this report. This process forms the bases of the return required by the financial Office, Swansea and Brecon Diocesan Board of Finance Ltd. Brecon. 

The Ministry shares for the benefice churches for 2021 were: 

£13,379.50 for Central Swansea (Christ Church and St. Mark & St. John) £30,146.27 for Swansea St. Mary

**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 2021 which are set out on pages 1 to 7 

## **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.
