Page 20 NORWICH CATHEDRAL NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS FOR THE Y&4R ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 1 PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial slalemenls have been prepared in 8ccord8nce with the Accounting and Reporting Regulations for English Anglican Cathgdrals, dated December 2018, and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK IFRS 1021. The Cathedral meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. These financial statements are presented in Sterling, which is the functional currency of the Cathedral, and rounded lo the nearest pound. The financial slalemenls are consolidated to include the financial statements of the Cathedral's subsidiary undertakings las detailed in note 151. al GOING CONCERN The Chapter has considered whether the use of the going concem basis of accounting is appropriate. To do this, they have considered whether there are any material uncertainty'es as to the Cathedral's ability to continue as a going concem. They have carried out this assessment for a period of at least one year from the dale of approval of these financial slatemenls. They have concluded that there are no material uncertainties about the Cathedral's ability to continue as a going concern. bl FUND ACCOUNTING General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use al the discretion of the Chapter in furtherance of the general objectives of the Cathedral and which have not been designated for any other purposes. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been sel aside by the Chapter for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set OLrt in the notes lo the financial slalemenls. Reslricled funds are funds that are to be used in accordance with specific reslriclion5 imposed by donors, or which have b&en raised by the Cathedral for pa￿Cular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds 8re charged against the specific fund. The aim an¢J use of each restri¢led fund is sel out in the notes to the financial slalemenls. Endowment funds are held by the Catheclral and are invested in the propety Portfolio. The Chapter, al their discretion, may alk)cate the rental income from such invèstment lo the general purposes of the Cathedral. Further endowment funds are held within Norwich Cathedrdl Choir Endowment Fund, a subsidiary. These funds are invested in perpetuity in listed inveslmenls. The Chapter, at their discretion, may allocate any part of the unapplied total return to the gener81 purposes of the enlily, namely for the provision, promotion and encouragement of music in the Cathedral Church of Norwich by the award in each year of a scholarship OF scholarships to one or more of the Choristers. Investment income, gains and losses are allocated lo the approprk2le fund. Where amounts are payable on behalf of the Cathedral by third parties, for example the Church Commissioners, Ih8S8 ar8 disclos8d und8r both income and expenditure in the consolidated financial ststements. P898 21 NORWICH CATHEDRAL NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 cl INCOME All income including legacies are included in the Statement of Financial A¢livilies when the Cathedral is legally entitled lo the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Income tax recoverable in re￿tIOn lo investment income is recognised al the time the investment income 18 receivable. dl RESOURCES EXPENDED All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation lo activities. Where costs cannot be directly attributed lo particular activities they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of the resources. el TANGIBLE FIXED ASs￿s AND DEPRECIATION Equipment, fixtures and machingry are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation thereon. PTopety and assets under construction are stated al cost or valuation. Depreciation on tsngible fixed assets is calculated lo write-off the cost less estimated residual value over the expected useful economic lives of the assets concerned. The principal annual rates used for this purpose, which are consistent with those of Ihe previous yeai. are.. Land and buildings Martin Kaye Library Office equipment Fixtures and fittings Machinery not depreciated not depreciated 15 /0 and 25 /0 reducing balance,. 25 /0 Straight line 10Q/o slraighl line 150A reducing balance Office equipment and fixtures and fittings costing £500 or more are included in fixed assets in the year of purchase and subject lo depreciation as sel out above. Items costing less than £500 are written off in the year of purchasa. Inveslm8nl properties are included in the balan￿ sheet al their open market value (see note 8a) and are not depreciated. Properties used for Cathedral purposes are valued al existing use value. The Chapter consider that these properties are maintained in such a stale of repair that the corresponding depreciation would not be material and therefore is not charged. Within properties used for Cathedral purposes are the Refectory and the Hoslry which are considered to be specialised properties and for which Ifiere is no open market value. These properties are staled al depreciated replacement cost. No depreciation is charged on the 8ssels in relation to tha M8rtin Kay8 Library, the majority of these assets consist of books which are considered lo be appreciating assets and therefore il is not appropriate lo depreciate these. The Cathedral, its ancillary buildings and the inventory are excluded from the balance sheet as cost infoimalion is not availabla and conventional valuation approaches would lack sufficient reliability. Page 22 NORWICH CATHEDRAL NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 fl INVESTMENTS Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially ￿CognIsed 81 their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value al the balance sheet dale using the closing quoted market price. The Statement of Financial Activrfcies includes the nel gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year. Realised gains and losses on investments ar8 calculated 89 the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent lo the fir81 day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities. The Cathedral does not acquire pul options. derivative5 or other cornplex financi81 instruments. The main form of financial risk faced by the Cathedral is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitudes of investors lo investment risk, and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or subsectors. gl DEBTORS Trade and other debtors are recognised al the settlement Smounl due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the arnounl prepaid net of any trade discounts due. h) CASH AT BANK AND IN HAND Cash al bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. i) CREDITORS AND PROVISIONS Creditors and provisions are recognised where the Cathedral has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third paty and the amount due to settle the oblig21ion can be measured or eslimaled reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised al their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. j) PENSION SCHEME The Chapter of Norwich Cathedral operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged lo Statement of Financial Aclivib'es in the period in respect of which they are payable. The Cathedral also contribul8s lo the Church of England Funded Pension Scheme (see note 201. kl STOCK Stocks are valued al the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is d818rmined on a first in first out basis. Net re8lis8ble value represents eslimaled selling price lass costs lo sell. Provision is made for obsolete, slow- moving or damaged stock wher6 the net realisable value is less than cost. Page 23 NORWICH CATHEDRAL NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 2 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY In preparing the lin8nci81 ststements. Chapter rnakes a number ol judgements, estimates and assumptions about the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities. income and expenditure. Chapter does so on a continuous ev21uation basis using historical experien￿ and prudent evaluation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In apptying the Cathedral's accounting policies, th8 following are the judgements, estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effe¢l on the recognition and measurement of assets. liabilities, income and expenditUTe in the financial statements. Legacy Income Chapter uses the income recognition criteria sel out above to determine when il is appropriate to recognise legacy income in the financial slalemenls. This can involve applying judgement over the probability of the income being received and ils ability lo be measured with sufficient reliability and. once recognised. estimation of the monetary value of the income. Allocation of support Costs Chapter uses an allocation model that requires both judgement and estimation over how support costs are split across various expenditure categories. The rnodel is primarily based on estirnales of lime spent by individual members of clergy and staff across each expenditure category. Depreciation of ass8ts Chapter sets ils depreciation rates for depreciable assets based on their useful lives. This requir8s estimation of the expected utility of the assets. Stock Chapter estimates the net realisable value of stock items taking into account the most reliable evidence avai18ble at each reporting date. The future realisation of these stock items may be affected by market.dTiven chan9es that may reduce future selling prices. Valuation of property Chapter uses valuation techniques involving judgement and estimation to determine the fair value of the C8thedral's investment and non-inveslmenl properties al each reporting dale. Estimates of fair values between independent revaluations are based on a combination of current market conditions. changes in tenure arrangements and guidance from external sources. Chapter bases its assumptions on observable data as far as possible bul this may not ahNays be available. In these ¢ases Chapter uses the best information available. Estimated fair values may vary frorll the actual prices that would be achleved in a fully arm's length commercial sale transaction al the reporting dale. Rgporting uncertalnty In th8 next reporting period With respect lo the Cathedral's next reporting period, the year ending 31 March 2025, the most significant areas of un¢ertainty that may affe¢l the carying value of assets and liabilities held by the Cathedral are markel-driven changes lo resident1818nd Commercial propety valuations and the performance of uncertain investment markets.
