ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
In 2022 Chapter adopted five sliategic aims lor the period 2023-2025..
Strengthen the Cathedral as a place of excellence with a mixed ecology of worship
and mission serving the Diocese, city, county and beyond.
Fully realise the opportunities created by our Charitable status.
Be a sale and great place lo work, volunteer and visit.
Secure a sustainable financial business model.
Ensure the financial sustainability ol our musical tradition.
These will lorm Ihe slrucluTe for this report on the achievements and performance of the
charity through the last year. 11 is important to frame thi5 Teport with the underlying challenge
of stalling and capacity which have been a recurring iheme through the year. The slrong
financial performance of both the Chapter accounts and the consolidated posrtion is a
testimony to the hard work and resourcefulness of the Cathedral tearn.
Through the majority 012023 the Cathedral was without a Dean after Ihe retirement of The
Very Revd Mark Boyling in September in 2022. In April the King approved the norninalion ol
The Revd Canon Jonathan Brewster as the lorty-second Dean of Carlise and his rninisiry as
Dean of Carlisle began with his inslilulion on the 30th September 2023, a year lo the day aller
the retirement of his predecessor. Jonathan comes lo the Calhedral wilh experience ol
ministry in Bradford, London, St Paul's Cathedral and rural south Cumbria. As Jonathan
begins his ministry as Dean, we would like lo take this opportunity to acknowledg8 and Ihank
The Revd Canon Michael Manley, Canon Missioner, for acting as Interim Dean through the
year ol vacancy and The Flevd Canon Dr Benjamin Carter, Canon Warden lor his support
during this period.
Given Ihe head winds ol the world and the nalional economic environmenl, the Chapter is very
pleased with the financial perfoimance of the Cathedral in 2023. These achievernenls are all
the bètter given the fact that we have been working with no Head of Finance for most of the
year. During this lime, we have also been seeking io app)int a Business SuptK)rt Officer and
are pleased lo have made an appointment lo that role lo begin in early 2024. The challenge
of recruitment mirroTS the experience of other similar organisalions in the region and the
Chapter continues to work to address these challenges. We are lully aware that these two
extended vacancies have ptrt increased pressure on the core slafl, not least on Mrs Edith
Mccolgan, our Chief Operating Officer who has also acted as the Chief Financial Officer. We
would like lo take this opportunity to thank Edith. and all the Cathedral slalf. for their hard work
and dedication through the staffing challenges ol this last year.
1. Strengthen the Cathedral as a place ot excellence wlth a mlxed ecology ot worship
and rnlssion servlng the Diocese, city, county and beyond.
The daily pattern ol prayer and worship remains the beating heart of the Cathedral in both said
and sung services. Attendance al regular worship, both week by week and at festivals, has
ielurned lo pre-pandemic levels and we have been heartened by the small but committed
group of younger people making their worshipping home at the Cathedral.
The Cathedral has also hosted a series of significant services lo celebrate events in national
and Diocesan life. In May we held a special Service, working in conjunction with the Lord-

Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivi(led Trinity of Carlisle
Year ended 31 December 2023
Lieutenant of Cumbria, to celebrate the King's Coronation. This service included invitees from
across Cumbria, as well as input from ecumenical and inter-laith representatives. In JLJIY we
hosted the farewell service lor The Ri Revd James Newcome as Bishop of Carlisle and in
September the service ol institution ol The Very Revd Jonathan Brewster as Dean of Carlisle.
For these major services, and in ovr daily pattern of worship, music plays a central role and
its importance is highlighted by ils inclusion as one of the Chapter's main strategic aims.
Through our musical life we rlol only enhance our worshipping life but offer high-quality, free
at the point ol access, music education for in the region ol lifty children and young people
through our boys and girls choirs and Cathedral Consort. The choirs, who between them offer
seven sung services a week in term-lime, fully engage with the riches of the English choral
tradition which we are committed lo developing and growing lo more varied and diverse groups
of people as a Cathedral. Recruitment lo the Calhedral choirs is undertaken, in the main.
through visits lo a wide varieiy of schools in Carlisle and beyond. The natuye ol this recruitment
means that the socio-econDmic, racial, and ethnic diversity of ihe children in our choirs bucks
the trends traditionally expected of Cathedral choirs and also the largely while-Brilish context
of Carlisle and North Cumbria. Through our schools, oulreach programme. Cantale Children's
Choir we also offer musical experiences to primary school aged children in musical styles
beyond the traditional Church repertoire which is lh8 mainstay of our Cathedral Choirs.
Through all of this work we would pay tribute lo Mr Mark Dulhie our Direclor ol Music, and the
whole music team, lor the extremely high standard of music and professionalism they bring lo
our worshipping life. More will be said below in this report on our ongoing cornmitment to the
maintenance and developmenl of this musical tradition.
These traditional forms ol worship have been complemented by the creative patterns of
Mission and engagement undertaken al Ihe Cathedral. The All-Age parallel congregation
conlinues to develop under the day-to-day leadership ol a lay leam under the supervision of
the Canon Missioner. We have also begun a regular commLJnily well-being activity called
"Flourish" run by our Cathedral Curate which offers regular spaces for conversation and
activity for those who might be socially isolated.
Alongside these "come and see. missional aclivities we have Gontinued to develop the "go
forth and tell" aspects of Ihe Cathedral engagement programme. The Schools, Labyrinth has
been installed in the far southeast of Ihe Diocese in Kirkby Lonsdale, the far west in Sl Bees,
and the far north in Farlam. In September we were able lo gain funding through Ihe Cumbria
Community Foundation lo lake our "Rest under the Slars. installation on a 'Cumbrian
Journey" initially lo localions in the Eden Valley and we hope, in 2024, to locations in West
Cumbria. This journey. as we continue lo work wilh the ac￿Ssible arts charity Prism Arts,
works wilh local communities lo explore the joufneys and stories ol their local context in sound
and art. These will be brought logether lor a final installation in the Cathedral in the summer
of 2024.
We recognise Ihal, in the midsl of this activity, we have not been able lo develop our
discipleship as vnuch as we would have liked, wilh More explicitly themed patterns of
preaching, learning and quiet days, although two adult discipleship groups do meet regularly
at the Cathedral.
2. Fully reallse the opportunltles created by our Charitable ststus.
Through the last year we have been learning to embed and understand what il means lo work
as an independent charity wilhin the structures of the Calhedrals Mèasure and our new
Conslilulion and Statutes. We are pleased Ihat all the new committees have been fully
reciuiled lo. In 2023 Canon James Wesloll retired as a Non-Execulive Member ol Chapter

Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivl(led Trinity of Carlisle
Year ended 310ecember 2023
where he has served lor len years, some of that time as Chapter Treasurer. We would like lo
thank James lor his long service, not least in remaining in post during the period ol Decanal
vacar)cy and are pleased that we will continue to work with him in his new role as Chair of ihe
Friends of Carlisle Cathedral.
Day lo day the new governance structures are working well with a recognition that more needs
lo be done lo distinguish and communicate the difference between Ihe governallce and
slralegic focus of the Cathedral Chapter and the operational responsibilities of the Senior
Management Team. Work has been undertaken, led by the Reverend Canon Ruth Crossley
and Canon Alison Clarricoats, in developing a deeper understanding of the Calhedral's vision
and values with the statt and volunleers. In a(klilion, the newly constituted quarterly inductions
lor staff and volunteers, as well as regular all-slaff and team meetings, is allowing foi the better
communication of ihese new structures. More work will need to be done through 2024 on both
the organisational and cullural changes ihal flow from our new status and all of Chapter are
committed to SUPPOrting and encouraging Ihis at all levels of Cathedral activity.
In November 2023 the Cathedral undeM6nt its lirst"P8er Review" underthe system organised
by the Association ol English Calhedrals in conjLJnction with the central church. At the point ol
WTiling Ihis report the final report has not been published bul Chapter is committed to engaging
with the report's recommendations and using thern lo inform our priorities going into the new
year.
3. Be a safe and great place lo work, volunleer and vislt.
Safeguardlng
The Chapter continues lo place the hiohesi priority on safeguarding.11 sees good safeguarding
practice at the Cathedral lo b& Ihe expression of Christ's loving car8 for his people and his
desire lo see 'lhal they should have life in all its fullness., Safeguarding is a standing item on
the agenda ol Chapter meetings, Senior Management Team meelings and regular staff
ffleelings. In 2023 there has been a focus on making the processes and information on
safeguarding simpler lo find. The saleguarding page ol ihe Caihedral website has undergone
a redesign linking not only to Cathedral documents but also lo documents within the wider
church which underpin and support Ihese. In addition, a new Safeguarding Handbook has
been issued which mirrors the format and best practice outlined in the Church ol England
Safeguarding Handbook.
In October we ran, for the third year. a very well received Safeguarding Season where we
worked with survivors ol abuse to show our solidarity in prayer, worship, and action, wilh all
who have been affected by abuse.
The Cathedral's safeguaiding wot1( is fully inlegrated with the safeguarding work of Ihe
Diocese ol Carlisle and Chapter has requested that ils safeguarding activity should fall within
the remit ol the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisory Panel, The Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser
gives generous lime lo advise the Chapter, and a Memorandum ol Understanding between
Chapter and the Diocese is in place. The Chapter Safeguarding Lead and Safeguarding
Administrator work closely wilh the DI￿esan Safeguarding Advisor to monitor safeguarding
concerns and uphold and ¢evelop best practice. This is supported by the Cathedral
SaleguaTding Group which draws ils membership from across all parts of the Cathedral
community. In 2024 plan lo strengthen the work ol this group, currently convened and
chaired by the Cathedral Safeguarding Lead, by the appointment ol an independent Chair.

Volunleers and Iralnlng
As already ￿ated, thls year we instituled a rolling pattern of quarterly inductions lor all staff
and volunteers. Through 2024, as well as ottering these lo new starters, we plan to ensure
that all members of Ihe existing Cathedral team have Ur￿ertaken this induction. Training
provision for staff and key volunteers has been developed through the year with safeguarding,
fire marshal, and first aid Iraining underlaken by a wider proportion ol the Cathedral team. In
addition. some staff have been able to undertake some focused peisonal development
training. With Ihese a significant number of new policies, procedures, and handbooks have
been prepared and adopted by Chapter through the year lo support staff and volunteers in
their roles at the Calh8dral.
Volunteers remain al the heart ol the Cathedral's life. Through 2023 we have been delighted
lo welcome new volunteers and remain commilled to developing and broadening the volunteer
ofler at the Cathedral. To assist with this, we have been working with a consultant provided by
the National Lottery Heritage Fund to assist in forming a volunteer strategy and action plan
growing out of the work of the Cathedral s lottery supported Fralry Project. This work is being
led by a nominated member ol Chapter with the support of the Cathedral's newly appointed
Learning and Voluntèer Otricer. Through the early months of 2024 we will be conducting a
volunteer questionnaire and survey to inform and develop the strategy and action plan rnoving
lorward.
The appointment of the Learning and Volunteer Officer is a lasting and visible legacy lo the
Fratry Project which was finally corNpleted in the late summer of 2023. This new role allows
us lo build on the success ol this project in three linked ways. The lirsl, as slated above, is the
development ol the Cathedral volunleering opportunities. The second, the steady expansion
of our schools, wogramrne which is now supported by a small bul growing number of
volunteers. The third is the enhancement of our visilor offer. We are pleased lo say that visitor
numbers and donalions have largely recovered to pre-pandemic levels. Through the year we
have been able lo enhance our visitor experience through new lours (particularly of the Bell
Tower and the "Angel's View" Irom the clerestory) and the return ot the Rest under the Stars"
installation before it began ils "Cumbrian Journey..
4. Secure a sustalnable flnancial business model.
Like all similar organisallons the Cathedral has been challengecl by the cosl-ol-living crisis
over the last year. The robust financial performance of this last year is due, in no small part,
to the strong linancial management by the Cathedral leam and the very impressive financial
results of Carlisle Caihedral Enterprises Ltd. We continue efforts lo diversity income streams
and were pleased in 2023 to holij, for the first lime Sin￿ the redevelopment. a wedding
reception in the Fralry Hall as well as CO￿[nerCIallY successful events such as concerts by the
London Film Music Orcheslra. G4 and Cumbria SirKJers.
The Finance Committee chaired by the Chapter Treasurer, t￿ether with the Audil & Risk
Comrnillee, continue lo provide scrutiny, challenge and support not only in the areas ol finance
but across all areas ol risk identified under the risk managernenl framework.
The Cathedral Chapter and the Board of Carlisle Cathedral Emerprises Ltd continue to Work,
and meet, together to ensure the close and sympalhelic working between the two bodies. The
employment of a Head of Fundraising thiough the whole year has successfully increased
revenue from visitor income, grant making Irusls, and new forms ol regular support. With our
new Dean in post, we recognise that developing and deepening our income generation is of
vital importance, particularly as the financial forecast lor 2024 is more challenging than 2023,
10

Year ended 31 December 2023
not least berAuse of including the full effect ol the rise in utililies, the full impact ol which we
had managed lo delay until the middle part 012023.
5. Ensure the tinancial su5talnability of our muslcal tradltlon.
As slated above, music is al th8 heart of the Cathedral's life and Chapter remains committed
lo ensuring its long-term financial viability. In 2023 Ihe Caihedral received the single largest
granl, just under £30,000, from the Cathedral Music Trust as well as awards from other grant
making bodies lo support the work of the Cathedral ¢hO￿rS and the Cathedral's music outreach
programme. The Sponsor a Chorister Scheme. launched late in 2022, now has over Iwenly-
live subscribers.
Plans torlhe corning year and beyond:
Strateglc planning and vlslon
The Calhedral's"Peer Review" process will help inform the strategic planning of the Cathedral
into 2024. A Chapler strategy day is planned to allow Chapter to locus on the
recommendations ol the review and priorilise activity lor the coming year and beyond. CenlTal
to this will be a refocusing ol our lime and resources on the central mission and identily of the
Cathedral as il serves Ihe people of this city, county and beyond. We lake our Augustinian
values seriously and wanl to 'work from a place ol rest, crealing a cutture where everyone
works an appropriate amount ol time for the Ilourishing of all.
Stafflng and capa¢lty
With our new Dean in post, and concerted plans lo lill the vacancy in the Finance department,
we hope to work through the coming year with a larger team to allow us to continue lo deliver
on our strategic aims as we have in 2023. A key means ol this will be the continued
development ol our Annual Business Development Plan so that all departmental activily can
locus on delivering our strategic obj'eclives with regular pallerns of reporting on this to Chapter
Ihrough the Senior Management Team.
Flnancial plannlng and management
The sound management of the Cathedral's assets and properties and the recruitmenl ol a
Head of Finance remain a key opportunity and challenge lor Chapter. We will aim lo have a
Head of FinanGe. or equivalent, in place by the summer 012024. In 2023 Chapier reviewed
the managemenl ol its investmenl portfolio leading lo the transfef of these funds to
management by Ralhbones and CCLA which will be completed in 2024.
In 2023, Chapter formed a Property Working Group whose membership bring extensive
experience of commercial and residential property. This group allows for the planning of the
Cathedral's properties as we seek lo meet the challenges ol Nel-zero whilsl also maxirnising
the financial benefit ol these assets. To support this work, we were delighted lo be awarded in
December 2023 an Eco-church Bronze award and are committed lo moving to the Silver
award in 2024.
A key locus ol our financial planning will be the development of a robusl fundraising strategy
to support the Cathedral's musical heritage including plans for the refurbishment, in time, ol
the Cathedral organ. The Cathedral's very fine -Father Willis" Organ dates from 1856. Like all
pipe organs il requires both regular mainlenance and luning. In the 1990s il received some
low-level restoration but is now due a substantial rebuild to maintain this vital part of our
musical heritage and Cathedral fabric. Chapter is under no illLAsions that Ihis strategic aim
11

Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Carli51e
Year ended 31 December 2023
requires careful and focused attention through the coming year and that, through that, we
remain ambitious lo continue lo place music, ancl the worshipping life that it enhances, central
to the life, identity. and flourishing of Carlisle Cathedral inlo the coming year and beyond.
Saleguardlng
In the area ol safeguarding, we will be working wtth the Diocese of Carlisle to refine our
working ielalionship lo allow both ihe Catheéral and Diocese lo become integrated inlo the
National Safeguarding Case Management System. Both parties envisage this being achieved
through a redrafling of the Memorandum of Understanding. We also hope to reform our
Cathedral Safeguarding Action Plan around the newly published Church of England National
Safeguarding Standards. This process will support and refine our saleguarding systems as
we prepare lor our next Safeguarding Audil currently scheduled for Ihe beginning of 2025.
Statement of publlc benellt
As a Cathedral of the Church of England the Chapter's slatulory responsibility under the
Cathedrals Measure 2021 is to be the seat ol ihe Diocesan Bishop and a centre of worship
and mission and lo provide a locus for the life and work of the Church ol England in the
Diocese. The Chapter report explains how Chapler provides a benefit lo the publi¢ through its
support lowards the Bishop and the Diocese's "God For All" strategy which is shared by three
other Christian denorninations representing the ecumenical county of Cumbria., its provision
of worship, pastoral and outreach activilies lor the people ol Carlisle and beyond, and the
welcome, hospitality, music and increasing range of activities and events provided for all the
Cathedral's visttors throughout the year. In setting the Cathedral's objectives the Chapter has
paid due regard lo the guidance sel by the Church Commissioners and the Charity
Commission.
Principal rlsks and uncertalnties
Whilst the responsibility lor building a robust Risk Management Framework remains entirely
with Chapler, the Audit & Risk Commrtlee brings an additional and very important layer of
oversight. During the year Chapler, with scrLJliny and input from the Audit & Risk Committee,
undertook ils firsl review DI the new Risk Management Policy and continued to evaluale and
relresh the Risk Register with regard lo the key risks being laced by the Cathedral.
As identified within the Risk Register. there are a number of risks and uncertainties laced by
the Cathedral and, at the time of this report. there were five risks where the implementation ol
additional control measures is being progressed lo further improve the managemenvmiligation
of the iisk..
delivery ol an Annual Business Developrnent Plan (underpinned by key performance
indicalorsl by the Senior Management Team and Heads ol Departrnenl, with quarterly
reporting lo Chapter so that progress against the achievement of Chapter's overall
strategic aims and key strategic objectives can be evalualed,.

Fabric Sub Committee and the Chapler-appointed Property Working Group.,

Ihe ongoing embedding of a strong safeguarding culture.
12

Year ended 31 December 2023
Progress of the above is reviewed by both Chapter and the Audtt & Risk Committee on a
regular basis, alongside the periodic monitoring and re-assessment of each of the identified
risks in line with the Risk Management Policy, whilst the Senior Management Team holds
Chapler-delegated responsibility for day-to-day risk management arrangements.
Finan¢lal review
The Chapter originally budgeted for a deficit of £56,753, excluding the distribution from CCEL.
The Chapter accounts for the year ended 318t December 2023 show a net surplus in the
Common Fund of £125.598. including a distribution from CCEL of £118,021, and before
considering unrealised gains or losses, and wlhout taking into consideration income and
expenditure on malor projects. including the Fratry Project.
Group incoming Common Fund resources amounted to £1,234,094 (2022- £1.074,9081.
Regular sources of income including congregational giving, investment income. property and
Gift Aid from visitoi donations continue to come under pressure, reflecting the challenges that
Chapter faces in achieV￿n9 sustainable income streams. More visitors are choosing lo donate
to the Cathedral using electronic means such as Goodbox and other online plattorms that
have been set up this year.
Total group Common Fund resources expended amounted to £1,109,160 (2022 £1,113,213).
Chapter continue to seek efficiency savings throughout its operations, which were notably
achieved in Ihe Cathedral. Expendrture on music is also being rigorously managed. Chapter
will develop a long-term fundir)g plan for music in order to sustain the Choir into the future and
support its development.
Carlisle Cathedral Enterprises Limited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023 show
a profit before tax of £119,140 (2022.. £34,714}. Turnover amounted to £598,507 {2022'.
£481,883). This has resulted in a donation of £118,021 (2022.. £34.609) to Chapter this year.

arè working hard to retum to a balanced budget as soon as possible and rebuild our reserves
to ensure the future financial stability of the CathedTal. Central to this will be our plan lo
optimise the market opportunities arising from the Fratry re-development and build important
new income streams, without which the Cathedral is nol likely to become financially
sustainable.

Report of the Independent Auditors to ihe Cathedral Church of Ihe Holy and Undivided
Trlnity ol Carllsle
Year ended 31 December 2023
We have al￿rted the consolidated financial statements of the Cathedral Church ol the Holy
and Undivided Trinity ol Carlisle for the year ended 31 December 2023, which comprise the
Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and the related
notes. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting
policies sel out therein.
In our opinion, the financial statements=
give a true and fair view ol the state of the group and the Cathedral's affairs as al 31
DeCe￿ber 2023 and of its incorne and expenditure lor the year Ihen ended.
have been properly prepared in accordan¢e with United Kingdom Generally Accepted
Accounting Practice and.
have been prepared in accordance wilh the guidelines specified by the Church
Commissioners under Ihe powers given lo them by the Calhedrals Measure 2021 and
the Charities Acl 2011 as amended by the Charities Act 2022.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing IUKI IISAS
{UKII and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in
the Auditor's reswnsibilities for the audit ol the financial stalemènls section of our report. We
are independent of the Calhedral in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant
to our audit of the linancial statements in the UK, including the FRC'S Ethical Standard and
we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requiremenls. We
believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufticient and appropriate to provide a
basis lor our opinion.
Concluslons relaling to going concern
In auditing the financial statemenls, we have concluded Ihal the members use of the going
concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties
relating to the events or conditions that, individually or colleclively, may cast significant doubt
on the charity's ability lo continue as a going concern lor a period ol at least twelve months
from when the original financial statements were authorised lor issuè.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the members wilh Tespecl lo going concern are
described in the relevanl sections ol the report.
Olher InlomiatDon
The members are responsible for the other information. The other inforrnalion comprises the
informalion included in the annual report other Ihan the financial slalements and our auditor's
report Ihereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does nol cover the other information
and, except lo the extent othe￿iSe explicitly stated in our report. we do not express any form
of assurance conclusion Ihereon.
In connection with our audit ol the linancial slatemenls, OLAr responsibility is lo read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other inlormalion is materially inconsistent
with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to
18

Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Carlisle
Year ended 31 December 2023
be malerially misstated. 11 we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material
misslalemenls, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstal8ment in the
financial statements or a malerial misstalement ol the other inlormalion.11, based on the work
we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement ol this other
information, we are required lo report that facl. We have nothing lo report in Ihis regard.
Matters on which we are requlred to report by exception
We have nothing lo rewrt in respect of the following matters where the Cathedrals Measure
2021 and Charities Act 2011 as amended by the Charities Act 2022 requires us to report to
you if, in our opinK)n'.
the information in the Annual Reporl is inconsistenl in any material respect with the
financial slalements- 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 obtained all the information and explanalions necessary lor the purposes
of our audit.
We have been appointed auditor under section 27 01 the Cathedrals Measure 2021 and the
Charrties Act 2011 as amended by th8 Charities Act 2022 and report in accordance with that
Acl.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboul wheiher the financial statements as
a whole are free from material misslalement. whether due lo fraud or error, and to issue an
auditor's Teporl that inGludes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level ol assurance,
but is nol a guarantee that an audit conducled in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always deleGt
a malerial misstalement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material, il individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected lo
influence the econornic decisions ol users taken on the basis of Ihese financial statements.
A further description of OUT responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is localed
on Ihg Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uklaLJditorresponsibililies. This
description foms part ol our audilors report.
Responsibllltles ot the members
As explained mor8 fully in the stalemenl of responsibilities set out on page 10, the members
are responsible lor the preparation of the financial statemenls and lor being satisfied that they
give a true and lair V￿ew, and lor such Snternal conlrol as they determine is necessary to enable
the preparation ol financial slalemenls that are free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, Ihe trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity's
ability to conlinue as a going GOn￿rn, disclosing, as applicable, matters related lo going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend lo
liquidale the Charity or lo cease operalions, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our responslbllilies for the audit ol the tinanclal statements
We identify alld assess the risks of material misstatement ol the financial statements. whether
due lo fraud or error, and then design and perform audil procedures respor6ive lo those risks,
17

Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Carlisle
Year ended 31 December 2023
including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient arKI appropriate to provide a basis lor our
opinion.
In idenlitying and assessing risks of material misslalement in respect ol irregularities, including
fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following-.
results ol our enquiries ol management about their own identification and assessment of
the risks of irregularities-
any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the charity's documenlalion of
their policies and procedures relating to..
idenlitying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they
are aware of any instances ol non-complian￿.
detecting and responding lo risks ol fraud and whether they have any knowledge
of any actual, suspecled or alleged fraud.,
the internal contro15 established lo mitigate risks ol fraud or non-complian￿ with
laws ané regulations.,
the matters discussed among the audit team Tegarding how and where fraud might occur
in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.
As a result of these procedures, we considered Ihe opportunities and incentives that may exisl
within the organisalion for fraud and idenlified the greatest potential tor liaud lo be in relation
to management Dverride which, in common with all audits urider ISAS IUKI, we are required
to perform specific procedures to resporKJ to this risk.
We also obtained an understar￿Ing ol the legal and regulalory framework that the company
operates in, focusing on provisions ol those laws and regulaliDns that had a direct effect on
the delerrnination of material arnounls and disclosures in the financial slalemenls. The key
laws and regulations we considered this context included the Cathedrals Measure 2021. the
Cathedral SORP, and UK financial reporting ￿andardS as issued by the Financial Reporting
Council.
As a result ol performing the above, in response lo the risks identified, we did not identify any
key audit matters related to the potential risk of fraud or non-compliance with laws and
regulations.
In addition lo the above. our procedures lo respond to risks identified the following..
reviewing the financial slalemenl disclosures and testing to supporting documentation lo
assess compliance with provisions of ielevanl laws and regulations described as having a
direct ellect on the financial slatemenls.
enquiring of management concerning actual and potential liligalion claims-,
performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that
may indicate risks ol material misslalemenl due to fraud.,
reading minules ol meetings ol those charged with governance., and
in addressing Ihe risk ol fraud through management override of controls, testing the
appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments,. assessing whether th8
judgements made in making accounting eslimales are indicative of a potential bias,. and
evaluating the rationale of any significant transactions Ihal are unusual or outside the
normal course ol the charity's work.
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks lo all
engagement team members and remained alert lo any indications of fraud or non-compliance
with laws and regulations throughoul the audrt.

Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £200 or more are capilalised at ¢ost and depreciated over thelr useful
economic lives on a slraighl line basi5 as follows..
Motor vehicles
20¢/r& Straight line
Equipment
20V/o slraighl line
BUildi￿S are not depreciated. as the Ghapter has a policy and practice of regular MaIntena￿e ol the
property. Repairs are charged to the SOFA and the Chapter therefore considers that any
depreciation charge would be immalerial.
The Fralry project buildings are inclL#Yed al fair value. No depreciation is charged on these assets.
The fair value is determined by the value in use of the buildings. based on their service polenlial. As
the buildings are expected lo continue lo meet their service potential for the foreseeable lulure, their
value in use is reflected by th8 costs ol construction of the buildings rather than the amount for which
they can be sold in the market.
Horitage assets
HerNage assets include the cathedral and ancillary buildings and the items in the inventory prepared
nder section 24111 ol the Care ol Cathedrals Measure 2011. No value has been allribuled to these
assets acquired before 31 December 2023. because informalion on their hislori¢al cost is not
available.
Inveslment propertles
Investment properties are included in the accounts at fair value. No depreciation is charged on
investment properties in line wlh FRS 102.

quoted market price.
Th& Statement ol Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaualion and
dis
osals throughout the year. Realised
ains and IDsses on inveslmenls are calculated as the
erence between sales proceeds and I
eir opening car
ng value or their purchase value il
acquired subsequent lo the first day of the financial year.
nrealised gains and lossgs are calculated
as the difference between the lair value at the year end and their carrying value. Realised and
unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement ol Financial Aclivilies.
The cathedral does not acquire pul options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.
The main form of financial risk faced by th? cathedral is that ol volatility in equity markets and
invesimenl markets due to wKler economic conditions, the attitudes of invesiors lo investment risk,
changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particul* sectors or subseclors.
Deblors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the selllemenl amount due after any trade discount

maturity of three months or less from the date ol acquisition or opening ol the deposit or similar
account.
Creditors and provlslons

past event that will probably result in the Iransler ol lunds lo a third party and the amount due lo
settle the obligat￿n can be rneasured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally

pensions in payment in respect ol service prior to April 1997. and a bonus on pensions in
