You consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the 2011 Act, and that an independent examination is needed. ## It is my responsibility to: - e Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; - Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and - e State whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## Basis of independent examiner’s statement My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charities Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of those accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the PCC concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts. ## Independent examiner’s statement I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matter have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. Accounting records were not kept in respect of the activities of the Church as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. The accounts do not accord with those records. I have no concems and have come across no other matters im connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. vA Kpelle: BRHube AFA MIPA, CMI 22" March March 2023 Clover Accountancy Limited 17 High Street Wall Heath Kingswinford West Midlands DY6 0HB ## 22" March March 2023 ## WORDSLEY PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL ## STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES ## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 **----- Start of picture text -----**

Other funds which have been designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted.

Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for when the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement to the amount so due.

Jn past years provision has been made on the basis that any shortfall would be met at some point in the future. However, with the current economic situation, following on from the effects of Covid-19 on the activities of the Church, it is the opinion that no such provision can be made as there is not a realistic expectation that this shortfall can be met in the foreseeable future. The shortfall in the Diocesan Quota for 2018 and 2019 has previously been accrued as a liability. There is no expectation that this liability can be met in the foreseeable future based on the current level of income and expenditure. The liability has been recredited to the accumulated funds. This is in line with the treatment of previously accumulated liabilities in respect of the Diocesan Quota. ## FIXED ASSETS ## Consecrated Land and Buildings Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the Accounts by the Charities Act 2011. ## Moveable Charch Furnishings No value is placed on Moveable Church Furnishings held by the Churchwardens on a special trust for the PCC, and, which require a faculty for their disposal, as the PCC consider this to be inalienable property. All expenditure incurred during the year on Consecrated or Benefice Buildings, and Moveable Church Furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, arc written off as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities and separately disclosed. ## Investments Investments are shown at their Market Value at the 31% December 2022. ## CURRENT ASSETS Amounts due to the PCC at 31* December 2022 in respect of outstanding fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors, less any provision for amounts that may prove uncollectable. Short term deposits include cash held on deposit either with the CBF Church of England Funds or at the bank. ## CONTINGENT LIABILITIES No contingent liabilities have been provided for at the year end. ## WORDSLEY PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL ## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 ## 2 INCOMING RESOURCES |||Unrestricted|Restricted|Total|Total| |---|---|---|---|---|---| |||Funds|Funds|2022|2021| |||£|£|£|£| |2a|Incoming resources from donors||||| ||Planned giving:||||| ||Gift Aid Offerings|52241|1488|53729|58215| ||IncomeTax recoverable on covenants|14568|504|15072|12952| ||Collections (open Plate) at all services|424]|315|4556|2306| |||71050|2307|73357|73473| |2b|Other voluntary incoming resources||||| ||Fund raising|6277|170|6447|1782| ||Donations and legacies|2197|4291|6488|4125| |||8474|4461|12935|12935| |2c|Income from charitable and ancillary trading||||| ||Lettings|22970|0|22970|= 10582| ||Fees|32764|0|32764|30454| |||55734|0|55734|41036| |2d|Other ordinary incoming services||||| ||Miscellaneous income|1110|0|1110|192| |2e|Income from investments||||| ||Dividends and interest including any||||| ||reclaimed tax|1732|0|4732|1456| |2f|Government Covid Grants||||| ||Church Hall SupportGrants|5452|5000|10452|22735| ||Job Retention Scheme|0|0|Q|3262| |||5452|5000|10452|25997| ||TOTAL|143552|11768|155320|155088| ## WORDSLEY PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL ## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 ## 3 RESOURCES USED **----- Start of picture text -----**
