These funds help pay for the ministry SUPPOrt that the diocese provides, including stipendiary clergy. The continuing impact of the Covid pandemic and in particular the enforced lockdowns led to a reduttion in income received by parishes with a consequent knock-on effect to the Parish Share parishes felt able to make. This wasn't universally the case, and we are particularly grateful to those parishes who sought to maintain, and in some cases increase, the amount of Parish Share paid. The net impart was a drop in income from parishes of some £1.3mi11Son In the year compared to what had been asked for which. together wlth other cost pressures mainly arising from a lower than budBeted vacancy rate in 5tipendiary clergy, meantthe Board of Finance suffered an operational deficit of £2.9 million {before investment gains and a budgeted £1.4 million transfer from endowed fundsl. Strong investment performance and proflts on the sale of surplus diocesan property meant that the net drawdown on general reserves was reduced to £604k which has pushed our general reserves down to three monthg expenditure- the bottom of our desired range. Relyin8 on investment gain5 to bail us out of a deficit posrfcion is not a sustainable financial pollcy so the diocese has embarked on a series of measures to bring its finances into balance overthe next five years including a restrutturing of the diocesan support structures at the end of 2021. Thls restructuring has brought a welcome focussing of the diocesan support services to deanery and parish priorities at the same time as saving £250k per annum in staff costs. We are workln8 too with deaneries to reduce the number of stipendiary clergy we deploy over the next few years from a current 178 post5 down to around 150. This 15 being done at the same time as we encourage the emergence of otherforms of ministry acr055 the diocese includin8 lay and non- stipendiary licensed ministry. Whilst these changes wlll brSn8 the cost base down over a number of years, we need parlshes to play their part by returning as much Parish Share as is possible. It will not be easy as the on8oin8 efferts of the pandemlc have resulted In changes in the way people 'experience' church and we are anticipating further deficits in 2022 as a result, which wlll push our free reserves even lower. There is much to be positive about too. The last two years has seen churches adopt new and Innovative ways to reach out to their communities and we have seen some remarkable stories emerging. Some of these are highlighted in our annual revlew whlch is published separately and can be accessed online at tt board-of-flnan annu l-revlew-and- accounts d f course, later this year we will be welcoming Bishop Michael to the diocese tirement of Bishop Peter in 2021. foll lan Thgodoreson- DBF Chair The Bath and Wells Diocesan Board ofFinance Annual Report For the year ended 31 December 2021 A Legal Framework The Trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, presenttheir annual report together with the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. The Dlocese of Bath & Wells is one of 41 dloceses maklng up the Church of England. Each diocese is a separate legal entity. The Diocese of Bath & Wells provides support to the parishes in Somer5et, and it is the parishe5 that represent the visible presence of the Church 'on the 8round'. Each parish, and Wells Cathedral too, Is a separate legal entityi and therefore, although there is a pooling of financial resources into the Common Fund, their re5uIt5 are not presented in these financial statements The companyi The Bath and Wells Diocesan Board of Finance IDBF), was incorporated on 6 March 1915 as a company limlted by guarantee (No. 1395571 and Its 8overnln8 documents are Its Memorandum and Artlcles of Assoclatlon. The DBFIS reglstered wlth the Charity Commisslon (No. 2493981. Al Legal Objects The DBF'S principal object is to promote, a55iSt and advance the work of the Church of England in the Diocese of Bath and Wells by acting as the financial executive of the Bath and Wells Diocesan Synod. The DBF has the following statutory responsibilities: the management of glebe property and investments to 8enerate income to supportthe cost of stipends arising from the Church Property Measure 2018; the repair of benefice houses as the Diocesan Parsonages Board under the Repair of Benefice Buildln8s Measure 1972; the management of investments and the custodian of assets relating to church schools under the Diocesan Board of Education Measure 1991,. the custodian of permanent endDwment and real property assets relatingto trusts held by Incumbents and Archdeacons and by Parochial Church Counclls IPCCSI as Diocesan Authorlty underthe Incumbents and Churchwardens (Trusts} Measure 1964 and the Parochial Church Counclls (Powers) Measure 1956. The strategic priorities of the DBF are established by the Diocesan Synod in communication with Deanery synods, PCCS. and the Bishop of Bath and Wells lin respect of their responsibility for the provision of the cure of 50ulsl. To this end, significant time and effort is committed to communication between and with these bodles, as well as wlth the church nationally. The Bath and Wells Diocesan Board of Finance Annual Report For the year ended 31 Decernber 2021 A2 Piiblic Benefit The Trustees are aware of the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit In Yhe Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit" and have regard to that guidance in their administration of the charity. The DBF believes that this report provides evidence of the public benefit of the chariws work in 2021. As descrlbed more fully throughout the report, the DBF provides funds to support ministers of religlon In the dlocese, to support educatlon and to support the maintenance of many buildings including parsonages and churche5, many of which form an Important part of the hlstoric fabrlc and archltectural herltage of the area. The vast majority are available to the public at large and none are restricted to members of the Church of England. The religious purposes of the Church of England are serious and tend to the moral and Spiritual improvement of the public or, in other words, to the cure of souls. The ministers of religion seek to advance and promote the Christlan religion amongst the people of the diocese and to sustain their belief in God, in part through the provlslon of publlc rellglous servlces, open to all, and in part through bearing Christian witness. B Strategic Report Bl Strategic Aims In line wlth Its legal and charitable objects, the role of the DBF is to identify and manage the financial aspects of the provision of mlnlstry wlthln the diocese 50 a5 to provide appropriate personnel and financial resources to assist the Diocesan Synod, Bishop's Councll, deanerles and parishes to further the mission and strategic priorities of the dlocese. Diocesan Wision The dlocesan vislon Is expressed In the following words". "In response to God's Imrnense love for us. we seek to be Gods people Ilvlng and telllng the story of Je5U5." Strateglc Prlorltles The 5trate8ic plan has three priorities for action: l. to place mission and evangelism at the heart of everything that we do 2. to align our resources towards mission 3. to identify, develop and release the gifts of all our people These strategic priorities govern the implementation of the strategy. They provide a framework for decision makin8 and plannln8, at diocesan level but also for archdeaconries and deaneries. The Bath and Wells Diocesan Board ofFinance Annual Report For the year ended 31 December 2021 B2 Key achievements in tl)e year Notwithstanding the many restrictions placed upon the working of the diocese durin8 repeated lockdowns 2021 was a year of significant change. Mlsslon Support and Ministry Development A major reshaping of the existing staff structure took place to enable more core support for parishes and deaneries alongside specific areas of expertise. As well as providing an annual saving to the diocese of £250k per annum, early feedbackfrom deaneries and parishes who have drawn on the resource5 of the re-shaped teams suggest the multi-disciplinary approach is greatly appreciated. In November the team ran trainin8 for clergy across the diocese on the theme of Enabling Ministries, delivered alongslde Chris Goldsmith, Head of Ministry for the Church of England and Carrie Myers, Lay Ministries Adviser for the Church of England, Further sessions were conducted with deanery leadership teams to introduce them to the Enablin8 Ministries work as part of the roll out of this important inltiatlve over the coming 5 years. Educatlon The Education department expanded its hi8h-quality online training offer which was taken up by over 1,000 people and 90% church schools and they celebrated too the opening of King Ina School on its new site. A5 well as resuming governor conferences and in-person head teacher retreats the department successfully garnered 1,300 responses from children in Somerset schools regardin8 thelr hopes for a new bishop as part of the discernment process. Property Following a restructuring ofthe propertyteam and the appointment in April 2021 of a Head of Property with a specific mandate for maximising the return from our property assets, we have been able to anticipate an additional £450k per annum return from the property portfolio which helps relieve the burden on Parish Share. Our property team has continued to deliver maintenance and repairs on properties acros5 the diocese, despite many obstacles and practical restrictions during the ongoing pandemic and published a Clergy Housin8 Guide, giving clear guidance to those occupying DBF property. The property team dealt with 1,242 response fflaintenance calls across the residential portfolio and enabled 34 clergy moves/new occupations through 2021, of which 13 properties required significant improvementlrenovatlon. Governance A major review of the governance structures within the diocese was conducted and the initial findings reported to Council. Implementation of the findings, which include recommendations for streamlining decision making within the diocese, will be implemented from 2022 onwards. The Bath and Wells Diocesan Board of Finance Annual Report For the year ended 31 December 2021 B'I Finqincial Performance Hnanclal Outturn The operating deficit on general funds prior to investrnent gains and transfers was £2.9m: after Investment 8aSns, actuarlal movements and transfers between funds, the resultant drawdown on unrestrlcted reserves was 604K. The operating deficit primarily arose from continued low levels of Common Fund receipts and a lower level of clergy vacancies than budgeted, As a consequence of the last years, downturn the diocese is facing significant pressures in unrestricted reserve levels and ensuring it holds Sufficient cash reserves to support operational activitie5. However, unlike many dioceses, the DBF holds a significant level of endowed funds whlch It can draw upon. (ln 2019 The Trustees elected to adopt Total Return accounting on certain permanent endowed funds allowing it to draw down of up to 4% of the balance held as Unapplied Total Return as at the balance sheet date. In the year to 31 December 2021 this transfer amounted to £1.4 mllllon-see note 18to the accounts). Income and expendlture The Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA} for the year on page 24 shows total income includlng from endowments of £12.9m12020- £13.7ml and total expenditure of £15.6m {2020- £15.9m}, resulting in net expenditure of £2.9m (2020- £2.2ml. Income decreased by £0.8m, wlth the main factors being reduced Parish Share contributions, and reduced investment income as investment returns have been achieved through capital growth rather than dividends and yields. In addition, there has been less capital gain arising on the sale of fixed assets in the year. Total expenditure decreased by £0.3m with a decrease in charitable activities spend. Realised and unreallsed Investment galns of £6,5m (2020: Loss £0.2ml, contrlbuted to the net increase in total funds of £3.7m12020- net decrease of £2.4ml. Total fund balances increased from £101.2m to £104.9m Common Fund In 2021the DBF Increasedthe Parlsh Share contrlbutlons requested by member by l.l% compared with the 2020 level. Every effort is being made by the DBF to review the tosts covered by the Common Fund into which Parish Share contributions are made, to ensure the Common Fund is Sustainable. A lar8e part of the costs are stipends, pen5ion5, staff 5alarie5 and building maintenance costs, which are all increasing broadly in line with inflation. As noted above, the effect of the pandemic meant the many parishes were unableto sustain their historic levels of giving and, for a second year In a row, the contrlbutlon rate fell from Its hlstorlc levels of around 99% to something in the mid-805. In 2021 the DBF received 85% of share requested from parishes12020- 87%) a reductlon of about £1.5m on pre-pandemic levels, which meant that the diocese had to sub5idise an increasing level of ministry costs from its own reserves. The Bath and Wells Diocesan Board of Finance Annual Report For the year ended 31 December 2021 Grants recelved The DBF gratefully acknowledges 8rants recelved from Allchurches Trust of £126,00012020 £131,000) and from The Foundation of 5t. Matthias totallSng £57,00012020- £57,000). The DBF also received the following grants from the Archbishops, Council: £402,00012020- E257,0001 Strategic Development Funding towards the Pioneer Project £522,00012020- £511,CM)01 block grant for ordinands, trainin8 fee5 and expenses under the Resourcing Mlnisterial Education process. Balance Sheet The net assets at the balance sheet date totalled £104.9m 12020 - £101.2m). Thls Includes properties totalling £66.2m12020 - £65.7m}, which are mainly used to house stipendiary cler8y. Much of the remainder of the assets shown in the balance sheet are held in restricted and endowment fund5 and cannot necessarily be used forthe general purposes ofthe DBF.-see notes 24 and 25 to the accounts. The Trustees are satisfied that the DBF has adequate resources to contlnue to operate as a goin8 concern and have prepared the financial Statements on that basis. Reserves Pollcy- Free reserves The Trustee5 require reserves to: meet short term exce55es of expenditure over income provide fund5 for expenditure with long life horizons such as clergy housing fund future initiatives such as the changing strutture of ministry and the deployment of clergy. It is the DBF'S pollcy to maintain the readily reallsable assets in the Unrestricted General Fund at between three and six months, unrestricted expenditure. The aim is to ensure the availability of sufficlent liquid fund5to enablethe DBFto meet Its daily commitments. A 31 December 2021 free reserves stood at £3.6m (2020 - £4.3m) which is around three months, expenditure. These are budgeted to fall further In 2022 as the savings associated with the planned reductlon In stipendiary clergy and associated housing will not take effect immediately and the diocese has once agaln been forced to set a deficit budget. Designated and other reserves The Diocese hold a number of other reserves for operatlonal purposes which are detailed in full in note 24 of the accounts. Grant rnaking policy The DBF makes grants in pursuance of its objects, and the nature of 8rant5 made in 2021 is set out in note 12 to the accounts. The Bath and Wells Diocesan Board of Finance Annual Report For the year ended 31 December 2021 Grants are made to the National Church to cover a proportion of Its central costs and to coverthe cost of tralning for ministry. Grants are also paid to other connected charities and charitable projects which support the furtherance of the DBF'S objects. Investment Policy The DBF invest monies not immediately required for its operational purposes in listed investments managed on its behalf by two separate investment managers, Brewin Dolphin and CCLA. AII Investments are held In accordance with the Church of England's Ethical Investment Advisory Group's IEIAGI guidance - the EIAG is widely held to be a leadin8 thlnk tank in the field of ESG (Environmental. Social and Governance) investing. The DBF also holds glebe Ipropertyl investments in agricultural land, commercial and residential land and buildings and the rents received and the gains arising on disposal are used to help fund clergy stipends, The dlocese seeks to achieve a 4% real return on all it5 investments which is used to fund the day-to-day operations of the diocese. In addltlon. the DBF acts as trustee of a number of trust funds, and these are invested in accordance with the related trusts. Note 25 to the accounts provldes detalls of the assets of each fund, together with the related purposes. and note 18 summarisesthe movements in investments durlng the year. Pro8ramme related investments The DBF provides loan finance to PCCS and related projects through two loan initiative5: CCLA backed Diocesan Loan Scheme {closed to new appllcations) This scheme allowed PCCS to obtain loan finance from the DBF at low interest rates for perlods from 5-7 years to facllltate building or other projects which further the mission of the church. The DBF received loan fundin8 from CCLA totalling £lm whlch Is avallable to provide these loan facilities until May 2026. Loans range from £3,000 to £150,OCKI. At 31 December 2021 the total loans outstanding from parlshes from this scheme was £385K {2020- £491KI. Dlocesan Loan Fund The DBF has designated a £lm reserveto allow further loansto be extendedto PCCS where CCLA funds are not available. These loans are repayable over variable periods and are at low interest rate. At 31 December 2021 loan balances outstanding, prior to bad debt provision, were £730K. The DBF conslders these Investments assist PCCS to achieve the mutual charitable objects of furthering the mission of the church within the diocese and complement the PCCS use of grant funding and local fundraising including pledged donations which are received over a number of years. Provislon Is made In the accounts for any assessed non-recoverable balances. People resources The DBF and the parishes It Serves are resourced with over 61x1 clergy, either licensed or with permission to officiate, including not only stipendiary parish priests, curates and archdeacons but The Bath and Wells Diocesan Board of Finance Annual Report For the year ended 31 December 2021 also self-supporting ministers, chaplains, ministers with a House for Duty and many retired clergy. In addition, there are over 350 lay ministers. either licensed or with permission to officiate, including readers, authorised lay mlnisters and lay chaplalns. The DBF is dependent on the hu8e number of people involved in church activities both locally and at diocesan level. The service provided to a communlty through church volunteering also has a significant impact on people's relationship to the church, particularly at times of crisis. Within this context, the DBF greatly values the considerable time given by all committee members and other volunteers across the diocese in pursuit of the mission of the diocese. Related Partles The DBF identifies the followin8 as related parties for the purpose of reportin8: General Synod, Church Commissioner5 andArchbishops' Council The DBF has to comply with Measures passed bythe General Synod of the Church of England and also makes certain annual payments to the Archbishops, Council towards the running costs of the National Church. As d isc105ed in note 13 to the account5, certain costs of the bishops, including stipends and pension contrlbutlons are borne by the Church Commissioners. Porochiol Church Counci15 fPCCs) The DBF is required by Measure to be custodlan trustee In relatlon to certaln PCC property, but has no control over PCCS, which are independent registered or excepted charities. The accounts of PCCS and deanerles do not form part of these financial statements. PCCS are able to influence the decision making wlthln the DBF and at Dlocesan Synod level throu8h representatlons to those bodies and through the input of their Deanery Synod5.

It will develop the Givin8 and Funding Team by appointing local advisors, using the National Givlng Fund, to work in the Archdeacon ries, giving support to parishes seeking to resource their mission. It will also commence the roll out of the Parish Giving Scheme to help reduce the burden on parish treasurers for managing Gift Aid claims and increase the level of regular, commltted givlng across the diocese A new Deanery Leadership Handbook will be launched which complements the diocesan approach to shared local ministry and will support deanery leaders as they discern the right shape of ministry for their deaneries alongslde the current redurtion In stipendiary posts. Education The dlocese wlll Implement the new DBE Measure which will bring the work of the Education into the heart of the work of the diocese. At the same tlme the team wlll return to in-person contacts and visits to schools and parishes, enhanced by high quality online training which improves accessibility and reduces carbon footprint. Safeguardlng The priority is to restart face to face delivery of training as a support for Parishes struggling with online training. The importance of safeguardin8 will be promoted through a variety of communication method5 and the website will be improved to make sure it is easier to use. Emphasi5 will be placed on equipping the network of Parish Safeguarding Officers with the tools and support required to help them feel confident in their roles. Property The DBF wlll condutt a strateglc revlew of housing requirements and glebe assets across the diocese, enabling surplus assets to be realised and In turn ald a reductlon In pressure on DBF reserves. parishes and the Common Fund. As part of the strategic intent to move towards becoming a net -zero carbon diocese by 2030, by the end of 2022 the team will have ascertained the current energy and environmental performance of the housing stock. Where possible and financially viable the DBF will seek to improve energy efficiency and carbon output ofthe housin8 Portfolio. li The Bath and Wells Diocesan Board of Finance Annual Report For the year ended 31 December 2021 B5 Risk Mana8emeiit The Trustees have overall responsibility for risk management and internal controls and have a risk management strate￿ designed to ensure that the principal risks to the organisation are identified and managed. The Trustees delegate to the Audit and Risk Mana8ement Group {ARMGI the task of ensuring that risks are identffied, reviewed, and brought to thelr attentlon. Risks are reviewed regularly and incorporated In the General Risk Reglster. Rlsks'Assessed' 35 high are detailed in the High-Risk Register. which identifies what steps are already being taken to mitigate the rlsk, and what the 'Reviewed' rlsk will be if further steps are taken. This assists Trustees in the management of risk including the deterrnlnation of rlsk appetlte. Prin¢ipal Risks and Uncertalntles arlsln8 from 2021 For the past two years the impart and risk5 Of Covid-19 have been highlighted here. As we Ihopefullyl emerge from those threats. it is clear that it leaves the Diocese facing the challenge of securing financial resilience. Many Steps have already been taken to mitigate the situation, and strong investment performance and property sales helped in 2021. Nonetheless, perhaps the most striking challenges we face are the uncertainties and dlfficult-to- predirt assumptlons underpinning 2022, the 2023 Bud8et and five-year resourcing plan. It is difficult at this stage to know therefore whether the DBF restructurin& deployment plans. or common fund proposalsfor example will be sufficient orwhether morewill be needed. Relyin8on investment gains to cover operating costs 15 not 5UStainable, and is anyway also unpredictable, for example with the value of investments having fallen signfficantly since December 2021. The key word that expresses best the current position 15 uncertointy. Principal risks include insufficient tash flow due to parlsh recelpts not meetlng budgeted levels and cler8y levels not reducing to bud8et levels. in conjunction with a failure to develop new sources of income. Risks also include a posslbly slow rebuilding of church membership and attendance with consequential difficulties of rebuilding parish reserves and fundln8 Parlsh Share. Mitigations in place include regular performance monitoring and readiness to take torrettive action if necessary,. as well as improved communication to parishes concerning the importance of Parish Share and providing greater support for parishes, An additional, new, risk relates to the cost of Implementing the Church of England policy of becoming carbon neutral by 2030. A multi-di5ciplinary task force has been proposed and the property team has identified steps it needs to take. but the risk remain5 high until more work is done. A potentially high risk exists for Education, princlpally because of the uncertainty surrounding an increase in the number of schools the numbers of church schools applying to Joln MATS, which could mean that more ternporarylfixed staff will have to be engaged to carry out the work," something difficult to plan for. 12 The Bath and Wells Diocesan Board of Finance Annual Report For the year ended 31 December 2021 A major review of governance structures has been undertaken and its implementation from 2022 onwards, with recommendations for streamlining decision-making within the diocese, wlll asslst the diocese in belng nimble and responslve In the face of the uncertaintles. C Structure and Governance Cl Organisation ai)d decision making strncture The statutory governing body of the diocese is the DiocÈsan Synod, which is an eletted body with representation from all parts of the diocese. Its legal basls Is the Synodical Government Measure 1969.

There is a Finance Group ofthe Bishop's Council, which acts for and assists the Board in its more detailed work. The Board has dele8ated responsibility for the day-tothday management of the DBF to the Diocesan Secretary who is supported by a management team. The Diocesan Secretary also meets regularly with the three archdeacons.

The DBF is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FR5102. Investment properties are externally revalued every five years. Any permanent diminution Is taken to the income and expenditure account for the year; and No depreciation or amortisation is provided In respect of freehold investment properties. This treatment, as re8ards the DBF'S investment properties, may be a departure from the requirements of the Companies Act concerning depreciation of fixed assets. However. these properties are not held for consumption but for investment and the trustees consider that 5y5tematic annual depreciation would be inappropriate. The accounting policy adopted is therefore necessary for the accounts to give a true and fair view. Depreciation or amortisation is onlyone of the manyfactors reflerted in the annual valuation and the amount which might otherwise have been shown cannot be separately Identlfied or quantlfied. The Trustee5 a55e55 whether the use of going concern Is approprlate. l.e. whether there are any principal uncertaintles. related events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ablllty of the DBF to continue as a going concern. The Trustees make thls assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the DBF has adequate resources to continue in operational existence far the foreseeable fvture. The financial statements are prepared on a going conorn basis. The principal accounting policies and estimation techniques are as follows. (a) Income All Income Is Included Sn the SOFA when the DBF is legally entitled to them as income or capital respectively, ultimate receipt is probable and the amount to be recognised can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Parish Share is recognised a5 income of the year in respect of which it Is receivable. Amounts undertaken to be paid by the pari5he5 are only accrued if either payment Is received by 28 February in the followin8 year or there has been a definite commitment to pay. Rent recelvable and parochlal fees are recognised as income of the year to which they relate. Interest and dhrfdends are recognlsed as income when re￿1Vable, in the case of dividends that is when the DBF'S right to receive the dividends has been establlshed11.e. when the distribution has been declared). Donations, grants and legacles are recognised when receivable lexcept in the case of any grant5 With pre-condr(ions of entitlement specified by the donor which have not been 28 The Bath and Wells Diocesan Board of Finance Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2021 met at the year end. These are included as creditors to be carried forward to the following yearl. Gains on dlsposal of flxed assets for the DBF'S own use li.e. non-investment assets) are accounted for as other income. Losses on disposal of such assets are accounted for as other expenditure. Stipends fund Income. The Stipends Fund Capital account Is governed by the Diocesan Stipends Fund Measure 1953. as amended, and the use of the income Is restricted for cler8y Stipends. However, the income is fully expended within the year of receipt and the legal restriction5. therefore, are satisfied. It 15 on this basis that the income and related expenditure are both included in the unrestricted column of the SOFA for the sake of greater clarity and simplicity in financial reporting. Ib) Expenditu Expenditure is included on the accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to that category. Costs of ralslng funds are costs relating to the temporary renting out of parsonages and investment management costs of glebe and anyother investment properties. Charltable expenditure is analysed between contributions to the Archbishops. Council, expenditure on resourcing mission and ministry in the parlshes of the diocese and expenditure on education and Church of England schools in the dI0￿Se. Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer Is conveyed to the recipient except in those cases where the offer Is conditional on the recipient satisfying performance or other discretionary requirements to the satisfaction of the DBF. such grants being recognlsed as expenditure when the related conditions are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to such condition5 which have not been met at the year-end are noted as a commitrnent, but not accrued a5 expenditure. Support costs consist of central management, admlnistratlon and governance costs. The amount spent on raising funds and other activities is considered to be Immaterial and all support costs are allocated to the purpose of charitable activities. Costs are allocated wherever possible dlrectly to the activty to which they relate, but where such direct allocation is not POS5ible. the remainder is allocated primarily on the basis of head count. Penslon ¢ontrlbutlons. The DBF'5 Staff are members of the Church Workers, Pension Fund (CWPFI and Clergyare members of the Church of England Funded Penslons Scheme ICEFPSI. The pension costs charged as resources expended represent the DBF'S contribution5 payable in respect of the year. In accordance with FRS102. Deflclt funding for the pension schemes to which the DBF participates Is accrued at current value in creditors distinguished between contributions falling due wlthin one year and after more than one year. Further details are 8lven In note 28. 29 The Bath and Wells Diocesan Board of Finance Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2021 Ic) Intangible fixed assets Computer software which is separable from the operation of computer hardware is cla55ified as intangible assets in accordance with FRS102 and is amortised to write off the cost (less any ultimate disposal proceeds at prices ruling at the time of the asseys acquisition) of other software over their expected useful economic lives on a straight-line basis at a rate of 25% per annum. ldl Tanglble flxed assets and depredatlon Investment propertles Any propertie5 which are held for investment purposes and rented out have been included at their fair value. A desktop valuation is carried out annually by Greenslade Taylor Hunt. with a full valuation carried out every five years. Parsonage houses The DBF has followed the requirement5 of FR5102, in Its accounting treatment for benefice houses Iparsonagesl. FRS102 requires the accounting treatment to follow the substance of arranBement5 rather than their strlct legal form. The DBF is formallv responslble for the maintenance and repair of such properties and ha5 some jurisdiction over their future use or potential sale if not required as a benefice house, but in the meantime legal title and the right to beneficial occupation 15 vested in the incumbent. The Tru5tee5 therefore consider the most suitable accounting policy is to capitallse such properties at their cost or estimated market value at tlme of acquisition if received by gift or transfer. Depreciation is not provided on the foregoing propertles listed in lil and lill above for the followlng reasons.. Any provision (annual or cumulativel would not be material due to the very long expected remaining useful economic life in each case, and because their experted residual value is not materially le55 than their orrying value. Bulldlngs are maintained in a sound condition by a continual repairs and improvements programme. the cost of which is charged to the income and expenditure account. In addition, disposals of properties occur well befts￿ the end of their economic lives and dispos31 pioceeds are usually not less than their carryin8 value. The Tru5tee5 perform annual impairment review5 in accordance with the requirements of FRS102 to ensure that the carrying value is not more than the recoverable amount and any movement5 on the impalrment are reflected in the SOFA. Houses financed by Value Unked Loans The DBF holds an equity interest in a number of houses provided for separated clergy spouses financed by value linked loans from the Church Commissioners. FRS 102 requires the revaluation of loans annually to reflect the current market value of the equlty interest.

The charity is permitted to allocate, from the unapplied total return element to Income funds, such sums as the Dlrectors see approprlate provldeé the Directors exercise their Statutory duty to be even handed between present and future beneficiaries and that they maintain the unapplied total return at such a level as to ensure it remains positive after having due consideration to the volatility of the investment markets.

Where the D8F must permanently maintain the whole of the fund it is known as a permanent endowment. Where there is discretion to convert endowed capltal into income it is known as expendable endowment. (l) Key areas of estimates and Judgements The preparation of the financial Statements req￿IreS management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amount5 reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses duringthe year. However, the nature of estimation means that actu31 outcomes could differ from those estimates. The followlng judgements (apart from those involving estimates} have had the m05t significant effect on amounts recognlsed in the financial statements: Useful economic lives of fixed a55ets Other than investment properties and houses provided for clergy, flxed assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The attual lives of the assets and resldual values are assessed depending on a number of fartors Including product life Cycles and maintenance pro8rammes. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projerted disposal values. Basis of non-depreclatlon of flxed awts Depreciation is not provided on Investment propertles and houses held for clergy use for the reasons stated above (note Idl. 32 The Bath and Wells Diocesan Board of Finance Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2021 Revaluatlon of agricultural Iglebe) and other land The DBF carries its agricultural Iglebe) and other land at valuatiorn wlth changes in value being recognised in the SOFA.

In intervening years approximately 30% of the land is valued annually and the average adjustment percentage is then applied to the full land portfolio, excluding land under offer which is valued at the offered sales value. Assumptions underfylng the pension liabilities The DBF has recognised liabilrties in ￿SpeCt of deficit contributions to the two Church of England pension schemes in which It particlpate5. The measurement of both liabilitie5 15 affected by a number of assumptions which are set out in detail in note 28, including dlscount rates, future contribLrtion rates and the duration of the deficit recovery period. Discount rate5 Used in NPV cal¢ulations The Board considers an appropriate discount rate to be used In NPV calculatlons is based on the opportunity cost of income foregone from investments. Recoverab116ty of parlsh loans The Board has considered an appropriate level of provision for non-recoverability of loans given to parlshes. estimating the potential shortfall in loan receipts or on-going Common Fund payments. vi. 33 The Bath and Wells Diocesan Board of Finance Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2021 Unr•rtrS¢t•d Funds R•rtrl¢t•d End•wm•nt Tot41 Totsl nds Funa Funds 20U 2020 vo(#) E'o a•nernl Dtslen*t•d efth £'OOO 20 P41ishthntslbuUons p￿$b Share Current yearfs AlloEallo• Addltlonal PaymÉnts kneaFS for PreV￿u5 yea Dlscrotlonary Parlsh ShBre relief ShortFall in coNtrfEthon ,203 17 103 11521 I305 203 10.586 17 20 11521 1689) Total Parlsh sha￿ re¢elpts represent 8&9% of the allocaiion12020- 87.0%) 2b OtherDoThrtioDs AlIchU￿h￿S Tntst ndatlon of 5t Matth1•5 RME Ordinands Grant SMF Brart fU￿1r Oonation5,Gr8nts. 5pon5etshWs & Legacles 126 130 57 511 56 522 ios 492 105 S04 1.367 1,202 192 * cknrttsbleAtti¥ll Ststutoryfees chiplalnLy Incom• Coursefees and oth4r 596 432 Rental IrKome from clergy houses, sc*ools 8Dd the Old Deanery pportsAt¥lces 369 67 374 412 35 447 17 458 S IA¥eStmrtlnwrn* Dlvldend5 rKeivgble terest re¢eNtit4e Revaluation (rf Equity Loans NrAional Interest re net prÈsoffttYaluè Rents ￿ee1Vable 224 26 67 216 512 672 io 217 398 614 384 1,10> 6 othgr Gain on dispos81 ol properties Solar PV Panel FT Income 283 195 478 1.201 195 L31 34 The Bath and Wells Diocesan Board of Finance Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2021 Unr•slrfrt•d Funds Rqstr• Endovp T•t•l Total i¢t•d m•nt Fund• Funds ¢knernl nated Funds Funds 2021 2020 £'ODO ¢000 £'OIX) V(IID VOOD 7 Coju ol r•lJlne fufid• Stockbrokerfs fee5 Value Unked loans Interest Interest cost & expense& penslon 5thèmÈs Glebe Land & ClerBY Houses letting costs 23 li 43 12 io 21 175 175 171 219 248 Ch•ritsbl• •etivitl•s Cortrlhutlon to Ar¢hblshow' Coundl Training for Mln15try National Church Re5ponslbllhle5 Grants and provlslon5 Mlsslon Agency penslon contrlbutlons Retired Cler8y Housing ICHARMI & Grants Poollng of txdlnand candldates. costs 393 274 34 18 393 271 58 274 144 141 31 31 882 Rwgur¢inE Minirtry •nd MiMi•n Parish Ministry..

The investment power of total return permits the DBF to invest the permanent endowment of the Diocesan Stipends Fund IOSFI and Stipends Augmentation Trusts ISATI element of the Stipends Capital Fund in order to maximi5e total return and apply an appropriate portion of the ur)applied total return IUTRI each year. Until the power is exercised to transfer a portion of the UTR to income funds, the UTR remains part of the permanent endowment. The initial value for implementing total return for investments was determined at 31 De￿mber 1995 and valued at £8.571m and £0.688m for the DSF and SATfunds, respectively. This was the amount held in Glebe property and listed and unlisted financial investments at thi5 date. The UTR was calculated as at 31 December 2019 and valued at £19.457m and £0.331m for the DSF and SAT funds, respectively.
