1. Notes to the Financial Statement for 2021 (Note 1)
Note 1: Accounts are recorded and reported on by use of a Data Developments Ltd. bespoke software package called Finance Coordinator and reconciled with the bank account statements. The Financial Statement has been prepared using SORP 2015 requirements. Donations and other income are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when they are identified as being due to the company.
Legacies are included in the SOFA when it becomes reasonably certain that the legacy will be received and when the value of the incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability. Investment income is included in the SOFA when it becomes due. Gifts in kind are included in the SOFA at a reasonable estimate of their fair value. Assets given for use by the Company are recognised as incoming resources and within the relevant fixed asset category of the Balance Sheet when received. Wherea gift has been made in kind but on trust for conversion into cash, the incoming resource is recognised when receivable and an adjustment made to the original valuation upon subsequent realisation of the gift. Grants are recognised when they are received by the company.
Page 3
Recognition and Allocation of Expenditure: Costs are charged to the accounts on an accrual’s basis in the year in which they are incurred. The company endeavours to identify the fully absorbed cost of each activity and summarises those activities under cost headings as shown in the SOFA. External costs are charged direct to the relevant activities.
Irrecoverable VAT
Irrecoverable VAT is charged direct to the relevant cost heading. Remuneration
The Company has no employees. Governance Costs: The Independent Assessment is provided at no cost to the company.
Note 2: Incoming Resources arise from the rental of our Centre, donations, fund raising events and grants from several funding organisations and local Councils. Rentals began to return to a level above that of 2019 (pre covid) during the last quarter of 2021 early 2022. A further grant of £10,797 was made by Tewkesbury Borough Council to overcome anticipated financial difficulties due to loss of rental income and other expenses incurred during and after the Corona Virus Pandemic. A grant of £2,500 was received from Bishop’s Cleeve Parish Council to enable the charity to continue its’ deliveries of meals to senior citizens. Several significant donations along with many smaller donations were made during the year. The donations from our Private Donors is enabling us to build up a reserve against any future large expense.
Note3: A major capital project, carried over from 2020, was completed and all the windows installed in 1846, have at last been replaced. We replaced our very old tables and chairs and reduced the risk of accidents by purchasing a purpose-built mobile racking to store and move them about.
Note4: Unpresented Cheques and Payments
Note5: Deposits and other payments not yet on the bank statement (Lodgements)
Note 6: Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
In 2015 the company acquired the freehold of St Michael’s Hall which is the prime property of the company and from which it generates rental income. This building was transferred in ownership from the previous 1846 old school trust. St Michael’s Centre (Bishops Cleeve) has legal title.
The Centre Premises had been valued by a local Estate Agent at £450,000 and the Carpark associated with it valued at £100,000 makinga total tangible fixed asset value of £550,000. These valuations are documented in a report from an Estate Agent dated September 2015. The Trustees received the valuation at their September 2015 meeting and agreed, as a matter of policy, that these assets would not be depreciated (because the depreciation charge will be immaterial due to the asset having a very long life and the Charity being unlikely to attract taxation). The Trustees also agreed that the valuation would be reviewed in 2021 after our major infrastructure projects had been completed.
We instructed Bear Associates Surveyors Ltd to carry out an assessment of the Open Market Value on 12" August 2021. The OMV was assessed as £390,000.
Page 4
Note 7: The current assets of St Michael’s Centre were in 2021 held in seven funds. The fund entitled Centre Development was set up to hold monies designated for future renovation work. The General Fund (unrestricted) holds money for the operational costs of running the Centre, a fund for the Foodbank and a fund for Private Donors was set up and is restricted to uses decided upon after consultation with the donors and the Private Donors Fund is effectively the Charities Reserve.
2. Independent Examiners Report
Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of St Michael’s Centre (Bishops Cleeve). | report on the accounts of the Company/Charity for the year ended 31 December 2021.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner:
The charity’s trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that a full audit is not required for this year and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
© examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act and under section 44(1) (c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 (“the 2005 Act”); e to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under
section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act: and
e to state whether any matters come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement:
My examination is carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission and Regulation 11 of the 2006 Regulations. 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 seeks 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 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.
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, the requirements:
e to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006, section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Regulations: and
