## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE** 

## **TRUSTEES OF TOVE VALLEY BAPTIST FELLOWSHIP** 

My report on the financial statements on the following pages for the year ended 31 December 2022 which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014. 

## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Independent Examiner** 

The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.  I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts (under section 145 of the Act), 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act), and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of Examiner's Statement and scope of work undertaken** 

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 the seeking of explanations from the 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: 

- 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 Act 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 

have not been 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.

## **NOTES TO THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022** 

## **1. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING** 

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

Voluntary income is received by way of donations and gifts. It is shown in the full Statement of Financial Activities when received. Gifts in Kind are valued at their estimated value to the charity and are included under the appropriate headings. 

Intangible income is valued and included in the income to the extent that it represents goods or services which would otherwise be purchased. Where it is difficult or not possible to value the goods or services, such as volunteer time, the accounts do not include them. 

Grants, including grants for the purchase of fixed assets, are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they are received. 

Restricted funds are to be used for specified purposes as required by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is allocated to the relevant fund. Income derived from these funds is retained within the funds concerned. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds which the trustees have designated to be used for a specific purpose. Where these funds yield investment income, this is available for general purposes. 

Unrestricted funds are funds which are not designated or restricted. 

|Fixed assets<br>|are for use by the charity in fulfilling its main charitable objectives and are capitalised and depreciated at the|are for use by the charity in fulfilling its main charitable objectives and are capitalised and depreciated at the|

||Buildings|2% reducing balance|
||Furniture & Equipment|25% reducing balance|



The rates chosen are calculated to write off the cost of the asset over its estimated useful life of serving the charity. 

Tove Valley Baptist Fellowship became a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) on 31st March 2019 and all assets were transferred across at current written down value.

## **14. PENSION SCHEME LIABILITIES** 

The Church is a participating employer the Baptist Pension Scheme (“the Scheme”), which is a separate legal entity administered by the Pension Trustee (Baptist Pension Trust Limited). The assets of the Scheme are held separately from those of the Employer and the other participating employers 

The Scheme, previously known as the Baptist Ministers’ Pension Fund, started in 1925, but was closed to future accrual of defined benefits on 31 December 2011. Prior to this date the main benefit provided through the Defined Benefit (DB) Plan was a pension of one eightieth of final minimum pensionable income for each year of pensionable service together with additional pension in respect of premiums paid on Pensionable Income in excess of Minimum Pensionable Income. Since 1 January 2012, benefits have been provided through a Defined Contribution (DC) Plan. 

A formal valuation of the DB Plan as at 31 December 2016 by a professionally qualified Actuary using the Projected Unit Method. At the valuation date the market value of the DB Plan assets was £219 million, whilst the level of assets needed to pay benefits was £312m, giving a deficit of £93m (equivalent to a past service funding level of 70%). The Church and the other participating employers in the DB Plan are collectively responsible for funding this deficit. The next actuarial valuation of the DB Plan within the Scheme is due to take place not later than as at 31 December 2019.
