Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011act) an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility:

to examiner the account under (section 145 of the 2011 Act);

Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 explanations 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act;
-
and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not met; or
-
(2) To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Accounting policy
The principal accounting policies, all of which have been applied consistently throughout the year, are set out below:
(a) Scope and basis of the financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable accounting standards and The Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2005) issued in March 2005.
(b) Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the parish and which have not been designated for other purposes.
(c) Income
All income is accounted for when the Charity has entitlement to the funds, the amount can be quantified and there is certainty of receipt.
(d) Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on accrual basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular activities they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of the resources.
Grant payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attached are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
(e) Cash flow
The financial statements do not include a cash flow statement because the church, as a small reporting entity, is exempt from the requirement to prepare such a statement under the financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective June 2002).
(f) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
All assets costing more than £400 are capitalised.
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful economic lives as follows: Church Equipment 4 years
