## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

## **The constitution and patronage** 

der 1964, as varied or effected by the Scheme of the Charity Commissioners sealed on 2 November 2006. 

Before the Act in 1893, the then Rector of St Martin settled the advowson of St Martin and of three other parishes, namely St George, St Thomas and All Saints, upon five Trustees, the settlement requiring that the Trustees should always be ordained clergy of the Church of England. The Trustees are appointed for life. The five Trustees may co-opt up to two further Trustees by virtue of clause 5 of a Scheme of the Charity Commission dated 2006. Co-opted Trustees are appointed for 4 years. On various dates the patronage of additional churches has been transferred to the Trustees. The patronage of the following parishes is at present held by the Trustees: 

St Martin, St George, St Paul and St Mark, Bishop Latimer, St John and St Peter, and St Matthew (Perry Beeches): St Germain (Edgbaston) and St John (Perry Barr) (jointly with Bishop of Birmingham): and St Luke Trustees). By established tradition the Trustees also support the parish of Christchurch Summerfield (the patron of which is the Rector of St Martin). 

Section 2 of the Act vests the Five Ways Lands (formerly a portion of the Glebe Lands belonging to the rectory Trustees and Section 4 gives them powers of sale, leasing, mortgaging and other necessary powers. Section 6 of the Act (as amended) provides for the use of income for the benefit of incumbents of parishes within the diocese of Birmingham. 

The Scheme at 2 November 2006 inserts an appendix to the 1964 Order which enables the Trustees to apply any remaining income of the charity in furtherance of the religious or charitable work of the Church of England in the Diocese of Birmingham.

## **For the year ended 31 December 2020** 

## **Risk management** 

The Trustees have reviewed the major strategic and operational risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that management reporting systems are in place to minimise the effects of any such risks as may exist. The investment managers are EFG Harris Allday, the property managing agents are Cushman & Wakefield, both of whom provide regular reports from which the Trustees take appropriate action. The Trustees review the performance of the investments and of the investment adviser on a regular basis. 

## **Organisational structure** 

The Trustees meet twice a year, with the Annual General Meeting held in May. A sub-committee of the Trustees meet as necessary to, for example, interview candidates for vacancies of benefices. The day to day management of the Trust is conducted by the clerk who liaises with the chairman as necessary. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The overall objective of the charity is to support the Clergy of the Church of England within the Diocese of Birmingham and specifically within the Ancient Parish of St Martin and the other parishes of which the Trustees are patrons, or share the patronage. 

The objectives are achieved by the making of grants, subject to conditions imposed by the Trustees (such as specifically for the maintenance of curates), and the making of gifts or loans for or towards activities within the Parishes lying within the beneficial area and the maintenance of the accommodation of the incumbents. 

The Trustees activities. In particular, the Trustees have considered how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives set. 

## **Review of Activities** 

The Trustees continue to provide support for the nine parishes of which they are Patrons and the parish of Christchurch Summerfield. This support is in the form of a contribution to the Birmingham Diocesan Board of Finance towards payment of stipends, pensions, national insurance and council tax, and payments to the Clergy for assistance with heating, gardening and secretarial expenses and individual projects in the parishes. The Trustees also provide support to the Birmingham Diocesan Board of Finance by agreeing payments of £30,000 for each of the three years 2019-2021 to the fund supporting Curates in Training. 

## **Financial Review** 

The principal funding of the charity is from the collection of rents received from the properties held. Rental income for the year was £664,156 (2019: £435,193). Investment income from its share portfolio yielded £133,718 (2019: £178,391) in the year. 

Spending on charitable activities increased from £612,723 to £628,740. Note 3 to the financial statements provides details of the Stipend payments made during the year together with payments made for ministerial support. 

Investment management costs comprise legal fees (in connection with the management of the charity and the prope gents. These fees have increased from £52,434 to £120,653 this year. 

Support costs and governance costs are detailed at notes 4 and 6 to the financial statements respectively.

## **Investment policy** 

There are no restrictions on the Trustees Trustees seek to maintain a consistent investment strategy based on their view of the medium term economic situation, their desire to secure the advice of their investment managers who produce regular reports for consideration by the Trustees. 

The 

## **Ethical Investments** 

The Trustees affirm their freedom of power to invest.  However, they do have regard to the Church of England particular circumstances.  The statement is drawn to the attention of the investment managers in exercising behalf, a discretion about which they consult from time to time. 

## **Grant making policy** 

The sum of £296,044 (2019: £265,048) was paid out to cover payments of stipend to incumbents in support of their ministry, and the sum of £325,588 (2019: £339,512) was paid out for ministerial support. 

The Act formerly restricted the Trustees grant making to making payments to or for the benefit of incumbents Trustees will also consider applications for financial assistance from those incumbents who seek administrative and other help in funding their pursuit of alternative purposes when income permits and for example payments are now made to assist with music in churches and employment of staff by some parishes to expand activities. 

## **Reserves policy** 

It is the policy of the Trustees to maintain unrestricted funds which are the general funds of the Charity at a level which provides sufficient funds to cover management, administration and support costs and to meet their continuing obligations for at least two years. 

Free reserves are defined as those unrestricted funds that are not invested in fixed assets (i.e. those reserves which are liquid and readily available to the Trustees). 

The general funds of the charity equal the free reserves as none of these funds are tied up in non-liquid assets. Note 11 to the financial statements provides an analysis of the general fund. At the year-end general funds amounted to £2,800,754 of which £2,738,662 is represented by investments and bank deposits, the remaining funds of £62,092 relate to other current assets and current liabilities. 

As much of the Trustees against the time when income may be reduced.

## **Statement of Trustees** 

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

In so far as the trustees are aware: 

- the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information. 

## **Auditors** 

Cooper Parry Group Limited have expressed their willingness to continue to act a resolution for their re-appointment will be made at the Annual General Meeting.

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of ended 31st December 2020 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.  The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and e Financial Reporting Practice). 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

   - December 2020 and of its 

- incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law.  Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report.  We are independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the F accordance with these requirements.  We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

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 events or going concern for a period of at least 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

## **Other information** 

The Trustees are responsible for the other information.  The other information comprises the information n and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information.  If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. 

We have nothing to report in this regard. 

Page 6 




## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF** 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the 

- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of Trustees** 

5, the Trustees are 

responsible for the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible f continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act. 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free opinion.  Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.  Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

Our assessment focussed on key laws and regulations the Charity has to comply with and areas of the financial statements we assessed as being more susceptible to misstatement. These key laws and regulations included but were not limited to compliance with the Charities Act 2011, Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016, taxation legislation, data protection, anti-bribery and employment legislation. 

We are not responsible for preventing irregularities. Our approach to detecting irregularities included, but was not limited to, the following: 

- obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the Charity and how the Charity is complying with that framework, including agreement of financial statement disclosures to underlying documentation and other evidence; 

- relevant control procedures, through discussions with Trustees and management and by performing walkthrough testing over key areas; 

- reviewing meeting minutes of those charged with governance throughout the year; and 

Page 7 



## **OF** 

- performing audit testing to address the risk of management override of controls, including testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of activities and reviewing accounting estimates for bias. 

Whilst considering how our audit work addressed the detection of irregularities, we also considered the likelihood of detection based on our approach. Irregularities arising from fraud are inherently more difficult to detect than those arising from error. 

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation.  This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our 

## **Use of our report** 

(Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008.  Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Charity’s Trustees those matters which we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity’s Trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **for the year ended 31 December 2020** 

## **1  Principal accounting policies** 

The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the financial statements. 

## **Basis of preparation and general information** 

is a (Birmingham) Act 1983 in England. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £. 

## **Going concern** 

At the balance sheet date the charity had a significant investment holding.  At the time of signing these financial statements, the Trustees have considered the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on the long-term investment holding and hence on the going concern position.  The Trustees consider that this does not present a major risk and that the charity will continue in operation for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these accounts, due to the close monitoring of its investments and already low risk approach to investment holding. 

On that basis, the Trustees have prepared these financial statements on a going concern basis. 

## **Funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Endowment funds represent those assets which must be held permanently by the charity, principally property and investments. Income arising on the endowment funds can be used in accordance with the objects of the charity and is included as unrestricted income. 

Page 12 




## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **for the year ended 31 December 2020** 

## **Incoming resources** 

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the Charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received. 

Investment income is earned through holding assets such as shares and properties.  It includes dividends, interest and rent.  Income is included when the amount can be measured reliably. 

All income and expenditure is stated gross unless otherwise indicated. 

Income arising on the endowment fund can be used in accordance with the objects of the Charity and is included in unrestricted income. 

## **Resources expended** 

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. 

All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource.  Costs relating to a particular activity comprise both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

## **Investments** 

Investments are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their market value at the year end using the closing quoted market price. Any surplus or deficit on revaluation or sale being included in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

## **VAT** 

The charity is partially exempt for VAT.  Value added tax which is not recoverable by the charity is written off as irrecoverable VAT within support costs. 

## **Investment properties** 

Investment properties are included in the balance sheet at the Trustees taking account of professional advice. They are regularly revalued and the resultant surpluses or deficits are taken to the Statement of Financial Activity as an investment gain or loss. In accordance with FRS 102, no depreciation is provided on investment properties.
