## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 March 2022**
The Trustees present their Annual Report and audited Financial Statements for the year ended 3 I March 2022.
The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting Policies set out on Pages 13 to 15, the charities Act 2011, Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland", and the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by charities: Statement of Recommended Practice" applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic oflreland".
The name of the charity is "Menevia Diocesan Trust", and it is responsible for the administrative and financial affairs of the "Diocese of Menevia" by which name it is also known and is referred to as the "Diocese" in these financial statements.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
Menevia Diocesan Trust is a charitable trust constituted by a Declaration of Trust dated 4th April 1923, as varied by two Supplemental Trust Deeds dated respectively 7th March 1950 and 6th October 1955. The charity was registered with the Charity Commission on 18 November 1965.
The charity operates by virtue of a scheme approved by the Charity Commission on the 9th June 1972. By that scheme the Menevia Diocesan Trustees Registered became a registered charity replacing the individual trustees who had been the trustees of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Menevia until that date. The Charity Commission approved two schemes on the 8th November 1991 whereby the Diocese of Menevia received certain property from the Archdiocese of Cardiff and transferred certain property and assets to Wrexham Diocese Trustees Registered.
The duties and powers of Menevia Diocesan Trustees Registered are set out in and governed by the Trust Deed dated 4th April 1923 as varied by the two Supplemental Trust deeds dated 7th March 1950 and 6th October 1955, the schemes above mentioned , and the Charities Acts, Trustee Acts and the law of equity.
The affairs of the Diocese are conducted in accordance with both the Laws of England & Wales and with the Canon Law of the Roman Catholic Church.
All property assets are vested in the name of the Trust.
The Diocese comprises 42 registered parishes and covers geographically the counties of Swansea, Neath Port Talbot, Carrnarthenshire, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and southern parts of Powys.
The Charity is governed by the Trustees under the chairmanship of the Bishop of the Diocese, who meet on a regular basis to deal with the financial, property, legal and administrative affairs of the Diocese.
The day to day business management of the Charity is undertaken on behalf of the Trustees by the Bishop and Vicar General together with support from curia staff and sub committees supporting safeguarding, education, finance and property functions. The Bishop deals with matters of central policy and acts as the Chief Executive of the Charity.
The Finance & Property Committee with delegated authority from the Trustees meets regularly to discuss matters arising and approve expenditure within it's mandated limits of authority, deferring items above the set approval limit to the main Trustees. Limits of Authority are set in place which control expenditure to defined persons and monetary amounts. These are reviewed regularly to ensure their effectiveness. The financial and administrative affairs of the Charity are administered from the Curial office, which is also the registered office of the Trust. The Charity's Registration Number is 234168.
The pay and remuneration of employees is reviewed annually by the Moderator of the Curia and all staff have employments of contract defining their roles, responsibilities and remuneration.
In accordance with Canon Law a Financial Secretary has been appointed by the Trustees to serve as the financial administrator of the Diocese, and to advise the Trustees on financial matters.
The work of the parishes and schools is administered on a day to day basis by parish priests, governors and lay people.

These risks are recorded in a risk register and managed via subcommittees, which monitor and report on the steps taken to mitigate the risks.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 March 2022**
In addition to supporting the activities of the clergy within the parishes, the Diocese also provides financial support to Catholic national organisations such as the Catholic Education Service, Historic Churches Committee, and the Catholic Safeguarding and Advisory Service (CSAS) for the protection of children and vulnerable adults.
The Diocese also maintains and supports offices for Religious education, Child protection, and Family life and makes other grants in furtherance of its objectives, principally to the Diocesan Sick and Retired Priest Fund, and the Priest Training Fund.
## _**Volunteers**_
The Diocesan Trustees, Clergy and employees of the Diocese gratefully acknowledge the valuable work undertaken by the many volunteers who assist on a day to day basis with all aspects of the work of the Diocese. Their work is invaluable particularly in assisting with the running of parishes. This work may range from cleaning of buildings, assisting with record keeping and parish finances to fundraising and many other activities relating to parish life. Parish volunteers also give their valuable time not just to their parishes, but also to giving help to the sick and needy, elderly and the disadvantaged in their local communities through various parish organisations.
## _**Achievements**_
The former church and buildings at Queens Rd., Aberystwyth were finally disposed of.
St.David's, Swansea, the new church hall has been handed over to the parish and is now in use.
One seminarian continues his training for the priesthood during the financial year and two more have expressed an interest in becoming seminarians.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 March 2022**
## _**Investments**_
The Trustees' investment powers are governed by the Trustee Act 2000, as subsequently amended. Investments held by the charity are managed by a firm of Investment Managers in accordance with an ethical policy to maximise the total return for them. Listed investments are included on the balance sheet at their market value at the end of the financial period. The Statement of Financial Activities includes unrealised gains and losses that may arise from the revaluation of the investment portfolio at the year end. Disclosure of the movements on investments and an analysis of their historical cost is given in the notes to the accounts.
The total return on all investments, before f s, for 2022 was 8.54% (24.8% in 2021) against a target return of 2.9% ( capital growth with dividends and yield reinvested). This compares with the FTSE All-Share Index benchmark of 13.03%.
The portfolio is structured to provide income and capital growth that will maintain real value to finance the objectives of the charity at a moderate level of risk.
## _**Reserves**_
Unencumbered reserves, defined for this purpose as unrestricted stock market investments and cash totalled £5.52m (2021 £4.8m) and represents 259% of annual unrestricted expenditure (2021 259%).
Trustees would not normally wish to see unencumbered reserves of less than I 00% of annual unrestricted expenditure, however it is recognised that this figure may be exceeded due to the nature and timing of significant major repairs expenditure on schools that can vary significantly from one year to another.
## _**Public benefit**_
The Charity Commission acknowledges the intangible spiritual benefits that the charity aims to provide through the work of its parishes and people within the Diocese.
The work of our parishes reaches out beyond their own congregations and into the wider community through various activities such as visiting the sick, counselling the bereaved, assisting the disabled and participating in other community based initiatives. Collections in our churches are often made in support of the work of other organisations or initiatives that may be not only local, but may be national or even international.
The Charity supports 18 voluntary aided Catholic schools within the Diocese which continue to be increasingly populated with non Catholic children. In addition to the proven educational reputation, the moral codes and practices which support it ensure a valuable contribution to the young adults leaving our schools who will go on to become valued members of society.
The churches within our parishes, and the services of the clergy are open to all people wishing to explore whether the Catholic Church can assist them in the enrichment of their spiritual lives.
The Trustees are of the opinion that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the 2006 Charities Act to give due regard to the guidance published by the Commission in January 2008.
## _**Separate Funds**_
A number of other funds are included in the accounts of the Diocese in respect of Trusts that are administered by the Diocese. These funds are maintained separately and are disclosed as restricted funds within the financial statements.

## _**Financial Review**_
Total incoming Diocesan resources for the year of £2.8 l 8m were up 34% on the previous year of £2.098. Grant income was higher by £ I 00k and donations were increased by £291 k. Collections have recovered slowly over the year as Covid restrictions were eased but donations and legacies have increased significantly. Parish income from donations and legacies of£ 1.53m was up 25% compared with 2021 at £ 1.26m. The value of parish offertories saw an increase of £28k 2.3% over the year. The aggregate total of parish offertories and donations together with curial donations increased 30% over the previous year the curia receiving just £37k in donations, back to the pre Covid level.
All fundraising activity within the Diocese is conducted in a voluntary and ad hoc manner and no professional or commercial fundraisers are engaged in these activities.
Total resources expended for the year increased by 13.2% compared with 2021 with new projects commencing or re-starting following the interuption cause by Covid.
The aggregate result for the year was a gain of £568,037 (2021 gain £1 I 0,332) before other gains and losses were recognised on long term investments. This gain was due in part to a grant from the Welsh Assembly together with the disposal of the Queens Rd site at Aberystwyth.The net result after other recognised gains and losses was an overall gain for the year of £526,775 (2021 £654,585 Gain). The gain on investments reflecting further gains on the investment portfolio held with Brewin Dolphin. An anticipated gain from a compensation agreement which was accrued for last year has been reversed pending ongoing negotiations hence there has been a f.? 10 000 nwP.rs, nf P'llin,; in thP. c.nrrP.nt VP.llr
It is the policy of the Trustees to maintain sufficient reserves to enable the Diocese to meet its current obligations and to provide prudently for future expenditure.
The balance on total unrestricted reserves as at 31 March 2022 stood at £6.648m (2021 £6.305m).
Of the £2.8m total incoming resources for the year, £324,468 (2021 £217,289) was received in the form of Grants, for which the Trustees gratefully acknowledge such support.
## _**Future Objectives**_

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES for the year ended 31 March 2022**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under charity law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period.
**[n** 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 Charity SORP
- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and 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. 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.
## **STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS**
**[n** so far as the trustees are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charity's auditors are unaware, and each trustee has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity's auditors are aware of that information.
**REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF MENEVIA DIOCESAN TRUST**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Menevia Diocesan Trust (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet 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 United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 March 2022 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 Auditors' 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 FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in 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**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' 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 events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve 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 included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; 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 received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

**REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF MENEVIA DIOCESAN TRUST**
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the 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 for assessing the charity's ability to 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.
## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our 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 extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
## **Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud**
We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We discussed our audit independence complying with the Revised Ethical Standard 2019 with the engagement team members whilst planning the audit and continually monitored our independence throughout the process.
## **Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities.**
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:
- enquiring of management, including obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the charity's policies and procedures relating to:
- identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
- detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
- internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations;
- discussing among the engagement team how and where fraud might occur in the Financial Statements and any potential indicators of fraud. As part of this discussion, we identified potential for fraud in the following areas;
- Revenue Recognition
- obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the company operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the Financial Statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations of the Group, The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act and relevant tax legislation.
Page 8b
**REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF MENEVIA DIOCESAN TRUST**
## **Audit response to risks identified**
In addition to the above, our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:
- reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to support documentation to assess compliance with relevant laws and regulations;
- enquiring with management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims; performing analytical procedures to identify unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
- reading minutes of meetings of those charges with governance and in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments;
- Assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business
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 Report of the Independent Auditors
## **Use of our report**
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' 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 �

## **Notes to the Financial Statements - 31 March 2022**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## Basis of preparation of accounts
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 l.reland (FRS 102) (effective I January 2015)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the valuation of fixed asset investments.
## Public Benefit
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS I 02. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
## Going concern
The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these accounts. The Trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these accounts.
The Trustees of the charity have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern. The Trustees arc of the opinion that the Charity will have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due
## Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
Preparation of the accounts requires the Trustees and management to make significant judgements and estimates.
The items in the accounts where these judgements and estimates have been made include:
- estimating the useful life of tangible fixed assets for the purposes of determining a depreciation charge;
- estimating the cost of the parish functional fixed assets, including property, that were held at 31 March 1996.
- detennining the value of designated funds needed at the year end to meet specific future expenditure.
- estimating the recovery of Gift Aid which is submitted to HMRC post year end.
## Incoming resources
All incoming resources of the Charity are recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Income is deferred only when the Charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to the income or where the donor or provider of those funds has specified that the income is for expenditure in a future period.
Income comprises donations, legacies and grants; investment income and interest receivable; income from parish and similar activities, and net gains on the disposal of tangible fixed assets.
Donations (including income from offertory and similar collections) are recognised when the Charity has confirmation of both the amount and the settlement date. When donations are pledged but not received, the income is accrued for when the receipt is considered probable. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of per[f] ormance before the Charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions arc fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the Charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled within the reporting period.
Legacies are included in the statement of financial activities when the Charity is entitled to the legacy, the executors have established that there are sufficient surplus assets in the estate to pay the legacy, and the fulfilment of any conditions a **t** ached to the legacy is wholly within the control of the Charity
Entitlement is taken as the earlier of: the date on which the Charity is aware that probate bas been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor to the Charity that a distribution will be made, and the date on which a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the Charity has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the Charity, or where the Charity is aware of the granting of probate, but the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
In the event that the gift is in the form of an asset other than cash or a financial asset traded on a recognised stock exchange, recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliably measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy and the title of the asset having being transferred to the Charity.
Investment income is recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of tbe dividend due.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when it is receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification from the bank of the interest payable or paid.
Gifts in kind are recognised at an estimate of their market value

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)**
## Resources expended
Resources expended are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on the accruals basis inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered.
Costs in generating voluntary income are included when incurred and reflect any fees in collecting those funds.
Charitable activities reflect the costs in meeting the aims of the Charity encompassing its four main activities of Pastoral work, Clergy support, Education and upkeep and maintenance of churches and other functional properties.
Support costs are those costs associated with the staff costs and overheads of the central administration of the curia. These are allocated to the charitable activities in proportion to the resource and office space occupied by each respective department responsible for the charitable activity.
Governance costs represent costs associated with meeting the statutory and regulatory requirements of the Charity and includes audit fees and other costs associated with the strategic management of the Charity. These are allocated to charitable expenses within support costs.
## Grants
Income from government and other grants, whether 'capital' or 'revenue', is recognised when the charity bas entitlement to the funds, any attached performance conditions are met and it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
## Fund Accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which 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.
Curial unrestricted funds are those that are available to the Bishop for the provision of Diocesan wide services, and cover the cost of central administration of the curia. These funds are administered by the central finance department of the Diocese.
Each Parish is considered by Canon Law to be a juridicial person with corresponding rights and obligations, including the holding and use of funds. The use of these parochial funds is the responsibility of the Parish Priest and the Trustees in varying ways depending upon the amount and significance of the funds. However, for the purposes of Civil Law parishes are not distinct legal entities and, unless there are distinct and express special trusts clearly evidenced in law, parochial funds are therefore shown as unrestricted funds. Parish funds are administered with guidance from the central finance office, by the parish priests and are used to cany out the work of the parish and cover the running costs of churches and other parish buildings, and assist in funding the curia.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The use of each of the restricted funds is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Permanent endowment funds are restricted funds comprising amounts of capital, which are permanently maintained for the benefit of the Charity.
Realised and unrealised gains and losses on investment are dealt with in the Statement of Financial Activities. Investment income plus associated tax recoverable is credited to income on an accruals basis.
## Tangible Fixed Assets
Prior to 6 April I 996, the accounting policy applied was for capital expenditure on church property to be written off in full as incurred. The accounts prepared for periods prior to that date did not include any balance sheet value for the Cathedral, Churches, Presbyteries, halls and other church properties or for their contents.
Functional freehold properties, comprising the cathedral, churches, presbyteries, halls and similar buildings owned by the Charity prior to I 997, are included in the balance sheet at an estimate of their original cost. These estimates were arrived at by discounting the 1997 insurance values of the properties by reference to the inflation statistics from 1997 back to the date on which the properties were acquired or built. For the purpose of these accounts, and consistent witht he transitional rules set out in FRS I 02, the 1997 valuations are defined as "deemed cost". A properties are deemed to belong to the charity and are thus included within the Curia balance sheet.
No value is included in the accounts for freehold land.
Following the recommendations of the SORP, the cost value of the church property capitalised on the balance sheet will be depreciated over their remaining useful lives at the rate shown below.
|||%per annum|
|---|---|---|
|Cathedral,|churches, presbyteries, halls|2|
|Equipment|and motor vehicles|25|
Works of art and other items of historic significance are not capitalised in the accounts. They are considered to be heritage assets for the purpose of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to reporting by Charities FRS I 02. The assets have long lives and are worthy of preservation as they are integral to the Charity's principal objective of advancing the Roman Catholic Religion. The Trustees are of the opinion that the inclusion of the value of such items in the accounts may be prejudicial to their safe custody.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements - 31 March 2022**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)**
## School Properties
The Charity is the legal owner of 18 properties occupied and operated as voluntary aided Catholic schools. The schools are funded through central government and local authority grants and other voluntary contributions.
The nature of the occupation of these properties means that the Trustees do not have the power to dispose of the land and buildings until a school ceases to operate. This requires the approval of the school governors and the Secretary uf State. As a result the land and buildings are deemed to have £nil value for the purposes of the accounts.
In the event of a school closing and ceasing to occupy land and buildings legally owned by the Charity, the property will revert to the Charity and will be recognised as an incoming resource. Property that is deemed to have no further functional use will be held as a current asset pending disposal.
Non property assets, liabilities and transactions of the schools are not included in the accounts of the Charity as they are neither owned nor controlled by the Charity.
## Investments
Investments are initially recognised at their transition value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date.
Realised and unrealised gains and losses on investment are dealt with in the Statement of Financial Activities. Investment income plus associated tax recoverable is credited to income on an accruals basis.
## Debtors
Other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are v[a] lued at the amount prepaid.
## Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at 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.
## Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently recognised at their settlement value, with the exception of investments which are subsequently recognised at their fair value at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price.
## Pension Scheme
Separate from the Priests Retirement Fund, the charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for its employees. The assets of the scheme are held in a separate independently administered fund. Contributions payable for the year are charged in the statement of financial activities.
## Legal status of the Trust
The charity is a trust governed by a trust deed dated 04/04/1923 with subsequent amendments in 1950, 1955, 1972, 1991 and 2016
