## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES – continued**
## **Financial Review**
Total income in the year was £79,189 (2019 £93,233) and total expenditure £58,294 (2019 £64,569) During the year expenditure on essential church renovations continued costing £24,290 bringing the cost to £789,217 and this is being carried forward as a tangible fixed asset. The charity has sufficient funds to meet its ongoing obligations.
## **Parochial Church Council’s Responsibilities**
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Parochial Church Council to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the church’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements the Parochial Church Council is required to:
(a) select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
(b) observe the method and principles in the Charities SORP
(c) make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; (d) prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue in business; and (e)state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements. The Parochial Church Council has overall responsibility for ensuring that the church has appropriate systems of control, financial or otherwise. They are also responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the church and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, they are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the church and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

# **THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF S. JOHN CHRYSOSTOM WITH S. ANDREW, PECKHAM**
## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER TO THE PCC**
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2020, which are set out on pages 5 to 12.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
As members of the PCC you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts and you consider 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 required.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **BASIS OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT**
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 explanations from the Trustees concerning 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;
- to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act,
have not been met or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF S. JOHN CHRYSOSTOM WITH S. ANDREW, PECKHAM**
## **REPORT ON THE ACTIVITY OF THE PCC FOR 2020**
The Church continued her work of witness via worship, evangelism and mission. Our Church building continues to offer space and a place for dignified, warm and welcoming worship of Almighty God.
Much of the year was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in suspension of public worship at certain times. Thanks be to God, during those times of suspension of public worship, we were able to continue our worship via zoom.
The PCC met regularly, with the Standing Committee meeting frequently between PCC meetings, to monitor financial and building issues as well as highlighting any specific issues needed to be considered by the PCC.
The new Sanctuary come Altar project was completed and dedicated by Bishop Christopher at the beginning of the year. Despite a decrease in our income due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were able to pay our Diocesan pledges up to date. Other financial obligations were met, necessary repairs and maintenance works were carried out.
The audited Accounts show that our income in the year went down a little. This was due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Efforts were made to be prudent in our expenses and we were able to have some surplus.
Thanks are due to all members of the congregation who have taken on various roles both at worship and outside worship. Thanks to our Churchwardens, Treasurer other officers and PCC members, who despite the restrictions of COVId-19, worked tirelessly during the year, for the smooth running of the church.
During the year, the Sunday Academy could not meet due to lack of DBS approved adults to assist in the Sunday Academy. We hope to work towards rejuvenating the Sunday School and the Teenagers’ department very soon. Fr Emmanuel and his wife Temi have begun the process of introducing Boys’ Brigade and Girls’ Brigade meetings at the Church.
The Church supported some charities with donations during the year and will continue to do so as part of her social responsibilities.
As a registered charity, the Church pursues her mission of service through worship, educational support to the local community and cultural activities. Although, the current pandemic disrupted this aspect of our mission considerably in 2020, we hope to work hard to continue this mission in the years ahead.
