Detailed governance arrangements are outlined within the Constitutional Practice and Discipline of the Methodist Church by order of the annual Conference ICPDI. The Connexional office implements decisions made by conference and is also responsible for the stationing of Presbyters in individual Circuits. Connexional decisions are passed to the Chair of the District and appropriate officers of the District for Regional implementation. The District passes control down to Circuit level for local implementation by the superintendent Minlster. Ministerial staff and Circuit Stewards via the rnedium of the Circuit Meetings. Membership of the Circuit Meeting is laid down in the Constitutional Practices and Discipline of the Methodist Church. The members of the Circuit Meeting are the Trustees of the Circuit. During the year. Ms Marie Greenidge stepped down as senior Circuit Steward due to health reasons. She has been replaced by M5 Doreen Dalay. TRUSTEES The Trustees of the Circuit are selected from a given office holders of the Methodist Church Due to the number of individual churches in the circuit and the fact that the majority of the circuit meeting members are those elected by indivldual churche5, It is clear that the make- up of the Meeting is subject to frequent changes. It is therefore impractical to list all the name5 of those serving, but in summary, there were 33 trustees in the circuit as at 31, August 2022. A list of trustee5 is entered and updated on the Charity Commission website on regular ba51S.

The assessment income 15 supposed to be sufficient to ensure that the Circuit carries out its functional dutie5 of overseeing and supporting the local churches. Various factors are taken into account in arriving at the individual local churches, assessments, and it is felt that a fairer svstem of assessment is currently in place. Rental income of the Circuit plays a significant role in the Circuit's finances It is the intention of the Circuit to continue to rent out all its current four properties for the foreseeable future. fte5e￿e Poliry. The Trustees endeavour to maintain s￿￿1clent Reserves to ensure that the Circuit is on 'goin8 concern" ba51S at all times. The Circuit General Fund (Unrestricted general fijndl balance at the end of the year was £3,780,171 The value of the Circuit properties I both tangible fixed assets and fixed assets Investment I included in the general fund figure of £3,780171 is £3.712,315 Our reserves policy is to hold at least 6 month's expenditure. With the current level of annual expenditure of E287K, the experted level of Reserves should be £144K, compared to the actual readily available reseNes I Circuit General Fund balance less properties value I 1 £3,780K- £3,712 K l of £68K. The reserves are substantially less than the required level and the Trustee5 intend to take the approprfate measures to brlng the actual reserves in line with the expected level. The Sir Henry Holloway Trust IEndowment fund) balance at the end of the year was £5,862. Thi5 is a fund set up specifically to use part of the income to contribute towards the stipend C05t of a Deaconess employed by Upper Tooting Methodist Church and a payment to the Superintendent Minister of the Cirtuit which the Upper Tooting Methodist Church is part of. The net income earned in the year under review is £131. The same net amount1 £1311 wa5 transferred from the Endowment Fund to the main bank current account of the Circuit. Risk Analysi5 The Trustees continue to examine the principal areas of operations and consider what major risks that could arise in each of these areas. Appropriate resources and review systems are put in place to minimise such risk5 to an acceptable level wherever risks are identified. The Circuit Leadership Team has further introdLsced a risk register which is designed to control and monitor the risk activities of the Circuit. PLANS AND PAST AcfiviTIES. Revd Saidu Kar)u has now been welcomed into the Circuit. The position of the Circuit Administrator was made redundant in January 2022. as part of our cost tutting measures. All the five Investment properties of the Circuit available for renting are now fully rented out. page 5 BAThERSEA AND WANDLE VALLEY CIRCUIT TRUSTEES REPORT AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31, AUGUST 2022 { Contlnued I Going Concern After reviewing the'going concern" assessment document of the Circull. we have concluded that the going concern basis remains an appropriate basis of preparing these financial statements. ststement of Trustees, Responsibilities. The Iruslees are responsible for preparing the Trustees, report and financial slalemenls in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The law applicable lo charities in England and Wales requir8s the trustees lo prepare accounts for each Financial year which give a Inje and fair view of Ihe stale of affairs of the Circuil and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the Circuit for that year. In preparing these accounts, the trustees are required lo.. select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistenly. observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP. make judgements and eslimales that are reasonable and prudent. state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, Subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts,. and Prepare the accounts on a going concem basis unless it is inappropriate lo presume that the church will continue in operation. The trustees are r8sponsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disc105e, with asonable accuracy at any lime, the financial position of the Church and that enable them to ensure that the accounts comply Mth the Charities Act of 2011. th6 appropriate Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations and the provisions of the trust deed.

The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation 15 applicable Law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reportin8 Standard 102, The 'Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland" l United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) In our opinion except for the effects of the matter described in the basi5 for qualified opinion section. the financial statements: > give a true and fair view of the Circuit's state of affair5 as at 31. August 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for'the year then ended > have been properly prepared in accord3nce with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice,. and > have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. BASIS FOR QUALIFIED OPINION The values of the Circuit properties in these accoLJnts are at Methodist Insurance Company's 'insured values" The "insured values" are neither 'Original Costs" nor "fair values" arising froffl proper valuations of the properties. In5tea(J the 'insured values are the "replacement cost5" of the properties. The valuations do not separate the value of the Land from the value of the building5. Consequently, the valuations of the properties in these accounts do not conform to the United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice l FRS 102 1 which requires properties to be shown in the accounts at either original c05t5 or'fair values" l FRS 1021 and the value of land to be separated from the value of the buildings. The same valuation basis was applied in the previous YEa￿S financial statements. Consequently the current year's financial statements and the opening balances of the Circuit's financial statements could contain errors and misstatements which materially Could affect the current year'5 financial statements. We condurted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing l UK I IISAS IUKI and applicable law.

If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material mlsstatements, we are required to determine whethèr this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we Conclude that there is a material misstatement Df this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. mA￿ERs ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIREO TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION EX￿pt for the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion of our report. we have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities IAccounts and Report l Regulations 2008 require us to report to you, if in our opinion > the information givèn in the trustees, report is inconsistent in any material respect wlth the financial statements,- or > sufficient accounting records have not been kept,. or > the financial Statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns: or > We have not received all the information and explanations we required for our audit.
