Financial Revieiv and Reserves Policy
li is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on free reserves (net currenl as5eis) io ¢quate to at le&st three
months unrestricted paym¢nts. This is equivalent to £32.927 (2021.. £38,811). It is held io smooth out
fluctuations in Cash flow and to in¢¢t emergencies. Net Current Assets at year-end were £101,599 (2021..
£132,007) and the balance of free reserves was £33,193 (2021.. £22.788). Fr¢¢ Reserves are broadly in line with
the target.
If necessary, the PCC have agreed to utilise some of the desi8nat¢d reserves to ensure sufficient funds are
available to m¢¢t current liabilities. As at the year-end these reserves were £42,306 (2021.. £nil).
Investment Policy
The charity is granted power to invest in suitable investments under th¢ PCC Powers Measure 1956 and th¢
Trustees Act 2000. As a charity. the TTUStees have a duty of care to take such advice as is appropriate befor¢
investments are undertaken. This advice is soughi from the C¢ntral Board of Finan¢¢ (CCLA) in London.
The charity's investment policies are based on two key principles..
Ethical Investm¢nl - this includes ensuring that investments are held in companies which have high
standards of corpornte governance and a¢1 in & responsible way towards stakeholders.
Long-term responsibilities
the trustees are awa￿ of their long-terni responsibilities in respect of the
Restricted and Unr¢stri¢ted r¢s¢rves and as a result follow a prudent approach to investment decisions.
Investment policy for long-lerni funds is aimed primarily at generating a sustainable income, with due regaTd to
the need for the preservation of capital value, and th¢ possible need to realise investments to meet operational
needs. The charity does not have a policy of generating in¢ome at exeessive or high risk known as
"purchasing income" where high ietums are guaranteed at ihe exp¢nse of capital.
In summary, the charity has an overall policy to maximise income while preserving the rea] value of its funds.
t)uc to the nature of the charity, an ethical investment policy is taken inio consideration when investments are
made..
The charity follows the Ethical Investtn¢nt Advisory policy as recommended by the Lichfield Dioces¢ which
includes the following:
-w¢ aim to invest in companies that..
will develop their bu5ine55 in the interests of shareholders-

in¢lude a]1 transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include th
accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another E4)dy nor those are infomal gatherings
of Church members.
There may be minor discr¢pan¢i¢s in the totals as the pence are not being shown.
Cashflow Statement
Th¢ rharity has takcn advantag¢ of the exemption in FRS 102 from the requiremenl to produce a cash flow
statement on the ground5 that the income does nol exceed £500.000.
Going Con¢ern
There are no material uncertainties related io events or conditions that cast significant doubl on the charity's
ability to continue as a going concern. The PCC are aware that they are reliant on the regular giving income and
have plans in place were this to reduce significantly.
Accounting Estimates and Prior Year Errors
No changes to accounting ￿tImateS have occurred in the reporting period.
No material prior year eTrors have b¢¢n identified in the reporting period.
Description of Funds
Unrestricted Funds are income funds of the PCC that are availabl¢ for spending on the general purposes of the
PCC, including atnounts designated by the PCC, for fixed assets for its own use or for spending on a future
Project and whieh are therefore not in¢lud¢d in ils 'free reserves, as dis¢los¢d in the trustee's arlnual T¢POrt.
Restrict¢d Fund$ comprise of two elements.'-
a) Income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted obj¢cts provided in
the iernis of the trust or bequest.
b) Donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds
may only be expended on the specified object for which they were given. Any balance remaining
unspent at the end of each yeaT must be carried forward as a balance on that fund. Th¢ PCC does not
usually invest separately for each fund. Where there is no separate investment. interest is apw)rtioned to
individual funds on an average balance basis.
Income
Planned givin& collections and donations are recognised when re¢¢ived or when the PCC becomes entitled lo
the resource and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Tax refunds are recognised
when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and Legacies are accounted for wh¢n the
PCC is l¢ga]ly eniitled to the amounts due and the mon¢tary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Page 9

Dividends are accounted for when re¢eivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognised when it is
receivable. All incoming resources are account¢d for gross.
Expenditure
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that awird creates a binding or
constructive obligation on the PCC. The diocesan coinmon fund payment is accounted for when due. Amounts
received spe¢ifi¢ally for mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally Tecogni5ed
when it is in¢urr¢d and is a¢¢ount¢d for gross.
Governance and Support Cosls
Support costs should be allocated between governan¢e costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all
costs involving public accountability of the PCC and its Compliance with regulation and good practice.
Support costs in¢lud¢ Central fun¢tions and have been allocaied to a¢tivity cosl categories on a basis ¢onsist¢nt
with the us¢ of resources. eg by allocaling staff costs by time spent and other costs by their usage.
Fixed Assets
Consecraied and benefice Property i5 not in¢luded in Ihe accounts by s.10{2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act
2011.
Moveable church furnishings held by the rector and churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which
rcquire a faculty for disposal are inalienable property. list¢d in the church's invcnlory, which can b¢ inspe¢t¢d
(at any reasonable rime). For anything a¢quired prior to 2000 there is i￿UffIcient cost information available and
therefore such assets are noi valued in the financial statements.
No depreciation is provided on buildings as th¢ currently estimated residual value of the properties is not less
than their carrying value and the remaining u5cful life of these ￿Sets exceeds 50 years, so that any depre¢iation
charges would be immaterial.
The freehold building comprises the original Youth and ComTnuniry Centre cotnplex, which was originally
valued by the PCC at I" January 1997 at £60,000 b￿ed on approximate rebuild cost. Additions since 2003
have been the cost of refurbishing the original complex and converting it to the St Matthew's Centre. In the
opinion of the PCC this should be valued at its approximale rebuild cost of £834,234. See pag¢ 19.
Investments
Investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued initially at cost and subsequently
at market value at the year end. Investments held for r¢-sa]e are tre￿ed as ¢urr¢nt asset investments.
Debtors
Debtors are measured on initial recognition at s¢ttleTnent amount. Subsequently they are measured at cash
expected io be received.
Creditors and Accruals
Creditors are measured at settlement amounts I￿S any trade discounts. Accruals are tneasured on best estimate
of the amount required lo settle the obligation at the retK>rting date.
