The Chapter and Property Cotnrniltee, Ih&refor8, consider it a priority lo invest in these historic buildings to maintain stand8rd5 and enable the generation ol sustain8d income Into the future.

NORWICH CATHEDRAL ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CHAPTER FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 7. Flnan¢es - Focus Following on from the Financial highlight5 aswell as the further reports mentioned above thefin8ncial strategyfor Norwich Cathedral 18 focu5sed on.. 7.1 Incoma Develo ment A5 tnenlioned above, the D88n and Chapter are working to increase Income beyond the income generated from propety and investment assets, by developing the donatlQn5 and visitor income. 7.2 Cost Control Th8 Cathedral rnanages il funds by setting annual department budgets, which are conlro11ed by way of the Statement of Delegated Authority and Purch85e Order Policy. These are reviewed annually by the FinancÉ Committee. Any additional expenditure is approved in advan￿ ty the SKIT and Chapter. 7.3 Strate nln Fund$ The Cathedral is lortLtnat8 to hav8 acc8SS to designated and restricted funds, collected from special donations, ￿gael88 and gifts and 88rlier 8nnual surplus. In autumn 2024 the De8n and Chapt8r have reviewed and aligned these fvnd5 to the Strategy lo the Cathedral Strategy. This h55 led to the reduction of the numbei of designated funds and the tighter control on expenditure. 7.4 Bud ettn The budget planning proTrss is detailed and indudas meetings b8tW88n budg8l hold8rs and the Chapter Steward and Finance Manager, a reviewof finances required lo support departmentsl development plans. a review with Savills regarding rental incomes, review of the previous yeaffs activit188 and con5id&ration of c8ntr81 Chapter sponsored projects dire¢tly re18t8d to the 8im8 and objectives of th8 Strategic Plan. The draft budget is s¢rutinised in detail by the Finance Cornmittee and the Chapter, and the final budgel is reported by Chapter. The budget p13nning process includes Chapter undertaking a r8Vl8w of the pay and remuner8tio of 811 member5 of staff. The Chaptei's budget, including Norwich Cathedral EnterpThses Litnited for 2025-26 was initially set al a conservative deficit of £55.538. However, during review of the designated fund5 at year 8nd it wa5 decided to tnove the expenditure from the additional Carpenter 8nd EPC work listed under the Property Refurbishments fund10521 into the operational Property budget, as these were reqUI￿d annual costs that would benefit from closer monitoring under the management accounts. This increased the 2025-26 budget to an updated defi¢il budget Of £176,257. 7.5 De51 natlons and Restricted Funds 2024-25 As detailed on page 19, the Cathedral general tund for the year ended 31 March 2025 showed an operational surplus 01£280,757. Following de51gnations of £165,200 inio th8 Prop8rty fund and the D8velopment Fund. the remaining £115,557 was transferred Into reserves. After net outgoing resources on designated and restricted funds Df £411,368, 8nd the aforementioned designations of £165,200, the total year end mov8rn8nt on Cathedral Statement of Financial Activities equates to en overall deficit of £130.611 for th8 financial y88r. Procedures are in place lo ensur8 that eXP8nditur8 is properly attributed 10 Specific fund5 before unrestricted reserves a￿ called upon. The Chapterfs aim is to ensure that unrestricted funds are maintained at r8asollable levels, to allow flexibility in their availabilty and use. 8. Goin Contem Having considered in detail the above note on the 2025-26 Budget, the Gash flow projections to April 2026, th8 detsi18d Risk Register, the Reserves Poli¢y, the large capitsl ba38 of the Prop8rty Endowrn8nt and the currently unutilised loan facility, the Chapter is confident Ih8t the Cathedral is more than able lo meet its liabilities as they fall due for the for8s88able future. The Chapt8r therefore considers that it is appropriat8 to prepar8 th8 financial slal8m8nts on a going concern basis. 9. Reservès Pollc The Dean and Chapter acknowledge their slatulory duty lo have a Reserve5 Policy and for details ofthis to be published within the Annual Report and Financi81 Statements. This policy is not ststic and wll be reviewed by the Finance Committee and proposed to the Dean and Chapter on an annu81 basis. The Dean and Chapter consider that il need5 the Sum equivzlenl to three months of salarles and essential costs tak8n from th8 2024125 budget to be held in r8S8rve. The R&serv8s policy was updsted 8nd 8pproved on 31sI March 2025, with an increase ol the target following th8 change5 In the operational costs, setting the new reserves target at £690,000. Page 13

In preparing the financial stat8m8nts, th8 Chap18r member5 8r8 responsible for assessing the Group'5 and the Cathedral's ability lo continue as a going concem. disc105ing. as applicab￿, rnalter5 ￿lated to going ¢on¢ern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the Group or the Cathedral or to cease operations, or have no realistic amemalive but lo do so. Audltorfs responslbllltles for the audlt of the financlal statements Qur objecliv8s are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the firiancial staternents as a whole are free from material mi5Stalemenl, whether due to fraud or error, ancf to issue an auditor5 report that includes an opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accoidance wth ISA5 IUKI will always detect a material tnlsstatement when it exists. Misstat&ments can 8rise from fraud or error and are considered tnaterial il, Individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonab￿ b8 expected to influence the economic deasions of users taken on the basis of these financial ststem8nls. Irregularities, Includlng fraud, are InStan￿S of non-compliance wth laws and regulations. We design pror£dur8s in line with our responsibilities, otrtlined above, to delecl material misstatements In respect of irregularities. including fraud. The extenl to which our procedures a￿ capablo of d8t8Cting irr8gularilies, including fraud is d8tai18d below. The obje¢tives of Dur audit In respect of fraud, are., to identify and as5e5S the risks of material mlsstalement of the financlal statemen15 due to fraud., to obtain sufficient appmpriate audit evidence r8garding the assessed risks of material rnbsstaternent due to fraud, through designing and itnpletnenting appropriate responses lo those assessed risks,. and to respond appropriately to in513n￿$ offraud orsuspect8d fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests wllh both management and those charyed ￿th g0Veman￿ of the group and the par8nt charity. Our approach was as follows.. We obtained an underst8ndiNg of the legal and regulatory requirem6nts applicable lo the group and Identsried that the principal risks ol non-compliance with laws and ￿gUlatiOnS related lo the Charities Act 2011 and the Cathedrals Measure 2021. We ass8ssed the risk of material mi5Statem8nt of the finsncial statements, induding the risk of rnalerial tni%slatetnent due lo fraud and how it might occur. We carried out testing ol joumal entries and challenged assumptions and judgements rnad8 by management in their accounting estimates. We inquired of management and those charged with governan￿ as to any known instan￿5 of non- compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulation5 and fraud. Bet2use of th8 inherent limitation5 of an audlt, there15 a rk%k that we wlll not detect all irregularities. including those leading to a material misstaternant in the fin8ncial st8tetnents or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that complian with a law or regulation is removed from the events 8nd transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely lo b8come aw8re of instance5 Of noTr-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than etror, as fraud involves inl8ntional concealm8nt, foryery. collusion, omission or misrepresent81ion.
