INTRODUCTION FROM THE BISHOP OF DERBY

The Rt Revd Libby Lane

2021 was hard: already worn down from all 2020 demanded of us we faced continuing and new challenges. I want to acknowledge our shared weariness and anxiety, but also to give thanks for the examples of generous faith, courageous hope and life-giving love we have seen and shared through this past year. This annual report might seem to be far from the Kingdom of God, being about numbers, data, statistics, process, systems, and organisation. It is about those things, (and all that is itself work of the Kingdom - the Bible reminds us that administration is a spiritual gift) but this annual report also holds within it countless stories of everyday, everywhere, faith at work the length and breadth of our diocese if only we have eyes to see.

Through 2021 the Diocese of Derby, in its struggles as much as its successes, has been a signpost to and symbol of the Kingdom of God: in every parish, every congregation, every chaplaincy, every pioneer context, every school, every department of Church House - individually and together - we have been striving to ‘proclaim afresh in this generation the Kingdom of God’.

So, thank you all for your faithful ministry supporting congregations and communities through 2021. As we carefully now emerge from Covid. I am inspired and encouraged by the ways our congregations, schools and worshipping communities, supported by our diocesan Officers and staff, adapt and transition, reimagining life, church, mission and community engagement. With creativity and resilience, we are transforming lives, growing church and building community and it is a privilege to partner with you in being good news to all.

As Jesus said in Luke’s Gospel, “I tell you, the kingdom of God has come near”.

FOREWORD

Executive Chair, Canon Mark Titterton

In many ways 2021 was a greater challenge for income than in the first year of the pandemic in 2020. Clearly common fund receipts were a real stretch for many parishes, particularly those that did not have strong, regular giving and where fund raising was traditionally a significant element of how parishes contribute to our common life as a diocese. Despite this challenge, parishes overall contributed £3,940,952 to the common fund, with the board being grateful to them, as all this income goes directly towards funding clergy stipends across the diocese. This income stream will potentially not return to pre pandemic levels without intervention, the board has therefore, with funding from National Church employed a living generously advisor who is available to assist parishes in increasing their income to improve sustainability.

Our investments once again performed well ahead of expectations, which coupled with a grant from the National Church and several stipendiary vacancies helped cushion the overall position to that of an operating loss of £629,961.

Whilst this is a pleasing performance against the agreed budget, it is not something in which we should rejoice, as we have not been able to grow the Kingdom of God in our diocese as much as we desire.

Looking forward, the board is undertaking a review of our investments with the intention of releasing an element of historically accrued interest along with a review of the common fund formula.

We welcomed Kate Godfrey as Diocesan Secretary in December who is eager to visit many parishes during the year. I would like to place on record my own personal thanks on behalf of the board to Martyn Marples, who was acting Diocesan Secretary during the vacancy.

The board exists to support the parishes and people of the diocese and I would like to add my thanks for your continued support as we look to fund and resource mission in this place.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

The Trustees, who are also Directors for the purposes of company law, present their annual report, together with the audited financial statements, for the year ended 31 December 2021. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 published in October 2019.

The Directors/Trustees are one and the same, and in signing as trustees they are also signing the strategic report sections in their capacity as directors.

This combined report satisfies the legal requirements for:

Legal Objectives

Derby Diocesan Board of Finance Limited (The); (the Board), is a private charitable company which was formed to manage the financial affairs and hold the assets of the Diocese. It was incorporated in the UK on 16 April 1928 as a charitable company limited by membership guarantees and its governing document is the Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Board is registered in England with the Charity Commission. The registered office and number can be found on page 3.

The objects, for which the Board is established, are set out in Clause 3 of the Board’s Memorandum of Association, dated April 1928. The primary object (or purpose) is to act as the financial executive of the Diocesan Synod. In addition, it is to act as the Parsonages Board for the Diocese, to act as the Diocesan Committee of the Diocese for the purposes of any Act of Parliament or Measure passed by the General Synod of the Church of England and to promote and assist the work and purposes of the Church in the Diocese and in particular to organise and provide funds in aid of the work of the Church.

The Board has the following statutory responsibilities:

The strategic priorities of the company are established by the Diocesan Synod in communication with Deanery Synods, PCCs, and the Bishop of Derby (in respect of their responsibility for the provision of the cure of souls).

Objectives for the year 2021 and future plans for 2022

In terms of progression toward agreed objectives, 2021 was a successful and positive year in the DBF, in which the foundations for effective future working were set in place.

Defined objectives included:

Taking these objectives in reverse order, the PCR2 programme to independently review safeguarding was concluded in 2021, and the independent report presented to the Bishop at the end of year. A diocesan-wide action plan has been developed by the Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser, with an aspiration to make measurable progress by release of the national PCR2 report in May 2022. It is expected that work on PCR2 will continue throughout 2022.

Staff returned to Church House both in-year, prior to the return of winter restrictions, and substantively from early 2022. Flexible and hybrid working patterns which were successfully introduced as part of the response to Covid will be retained, together with a significantly improved digital infrastructure. A new phase of monitoring has now been initiated, as the DBF seeks to understand working expectations and challenges in the post-Covid environment, including potential impact on staff retention and availability.

Recruitment to two leadership roles within the DBF was successfully carried through. Following the retirement of Nadine Waldron, who had been Diocesan Registrar for 17 years, a recruitment process was completed and Ian Blaney, of Lee Bolton Monier-Williams (LBMW) appointed from 1 October 2021.

Following a national recruitment drive, Kate Godfrey was appointed as Diocesan Secretary in December 2021, and brings significant additional operational and strategic capacity to the diocese’s work.

Following completion of his fourteen-month appointment as Interim Diocesan Secretary, our grateful thanks go to Head of Finance, Martyn Marples. In 2022 Martyn Marples will continue to strategically support the DBF to ensure improved operational resilience and leadership capacity.

Lastly, and most importantly, 2021 saw the completion of significant structural and foundational work designed to secure our ability to work toward strategic objectives. Throughout the late summer and autumn, work continued as part of the sharing of the diocesan vision.

The Bishop carried out deanery visits across the diocese, supporting churches with practical opportunities to design mission in their localities. Additional resources to support clergy and laity in implementing the vision were provided to the Discipleship, Mission and Ministry Team, and included appointments to the new roles of Ordained Ministry Development Office and Lay Ministry Development Officer.

An important change at the heart of our delivery is the transition from two archdeaconry areas to three, supporting a focus on ‘contextual mission,’ the championship of rural, urban and post-industrial contexts within the diocese. The proposal to move to three archdeaconries was consulted on and reviewed under governance processes, before being agreed by the Bishop for implementation in early 2022. Work on recruitment to two of the new archdeaconry posts commenced in late 2021 (The current Archdeacon of Chesterfield, the Ven Carol Coslett steps into role as Archdeacon for Derbyshire Peak and Dales).

With the recruitment of new archdeacons, the diocesan senior leadership team is restored to close to capacity and the diocese enters a new delivery-focused, phase.

An early priority in 2022 to support this new chapter of our work is completion of recruitment of an internal change and organisational development lead, or ‘Change Director.’

Key objectives to be delivered in 2022 therefore include:

Other objectives for 2022 include:

2021 Delivery

Discipleship, Mission & Ministry Department (DM&M)

The department for Discipleship, Mission & Ministry continues to be loosely organised into three teams (Mission & Evangelism, Ministry Development and Discipleship & Learning) and supports both core/statutory work as well as more project and campaign-based activity. As the (post)-pandemic environment continued to be increasingly challenging for parishes throughout 2021 the need for central support to assist churches in navigating a complex and new missional landscape, often with fewer resources, increased.

Delivery of key activity during 2021 has been significantly enhanced by the long-awaited re-appointment of core staff. The arrival of Lay Ministries (Jo Henderson-Merrygold) and Ordained Ministries (Dwayne Engh) Development officers have seen significant improvement to the support offered for IME2 (curacy) and Licenced Lay Ministers (Readers). The growth in our Diocesan Certificate in Mission & Ministry and LLM Reader training programmes continued during 2021 and is now nationally recognised as a ground-breaking approach to nurturing and training new lay leaders. The expansion and support of a new and revised Mission Action Toolkit (pioneered by Jason Kennedy) to help parishes create achievable Mission Action Plans has been very positively received and forms a significant part of diocesan mission strategy going into 2022.

Vocation enquiries have been unsurprisingly suppressed during 2021, the reappointment of a permanent Ordained Vocations Officer [DDO] (Ben Griffiths), working with our Lay Vocations Officer (Kat Alldread), has begun to look at strategies to address this. Closer engagement with the Archdeacons and Diocesan Advisory Committee (DAC) officers saw the department offer support to church buildings (strategic buildings review, buildings for mission), church officers (bite-sized learning, networks and forums) and contribute thinking towards ministry and deployment frameworks.

Again, Derby continues to be a national lead in developing Fresh Expressions, the diocesan FX Greenhouses proving to be very popular. We are grateful for the secondment of Mark Broomhead during 2021 to help nurture thinking and practice around new worshipping communities. The department has resourced several applications during 2021 to central church funds (including the Strategic Ministry Fund and Giving Advisor Fund) generating hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of benefit to the diocese. The department is fully committed to helping to navigate the numerous culture shifts necessary to achieve our diocesan vision. Whilst not underestimating the enormous challenges and changes that lie ahead the department remain positive and confident that the Kingdom of God, (is) Good News for All!

The Safeguarding Team

In addition to our casework (130 new cases – up 30% from 2020), our key areas of activity have been: Past Cases Review 2 (PCR2)

PCR2 has been a key focus this year. It is important not only to identify local learning and inform practice moving forward, but also to feed into the national review which will be published later in 2022. The file reviews were completed between April – October 2021, with 1,164 files reviewed by two independent reviewers. The review involved both safeguarding files and other files which fell within the scope of the review. This has been a significant piece of work and we are now in process of planning our next steps, to share the learning and action the recommendations made.

DBS checks

We now have 129 parishes registered for completing DBS checks on behalf of those who hold roles within the parish. This has resulted in a quicker, more efficient process for the completion of checks. The safeguarding team retains responsibility for DBS checks for all current and retired clergy and those parishes which have not yet registered. Across the diocese, 1,131 DBS applications have been submitted during 2021, with 801 of those being submitted by parishes. This is a considerable increase on the number for 2020, due to churches re-opening as restrictions were eased during the pandemic. The requirements for renewal of DBS certificates have changed from five yearly to three yearly and we have commenced a programme of work to ensure all those with certificates of three years plus are renewed as quickly as possible.

Training

Despite ongoing covid restrictions, we have continued to deliver safeguarding training virtually and have recently recommenced a small number of face-to-face sessions for those who cannot access the technology required for remote learning, with 134 sessions offered and 1,299 attendees. Our training continues to be led by Nick Harding, supported by a number of volunteer training supporters, whose contribution is greatly valued.

Communications:

We have started work on improving our communication across the diocese, particularly with our parish safeguarding officers (PSOs). This has included sending a regular newsletter, improving accessibility on our website and running two PSO events over zoom, with a powerful presentation on predatory marriage. We aim to continue to improve our support for our PSOs during 2022.

Parish Dashboard

We have continued to roll out the Parish Dashboard across the diocese and now have 233 churches registered on the system, with 68% of dashboards actively being used. The system enables churches to evidence and audit their safeguarding compliance and produce an action plan and annual report for their PCC at the press of a button.

10

Survivors

We developed a survivors strategy for use during our PCR2 and continue to work on a long term strategy for the diocese. We have engaged with the national team and have started work towards complying with the new national guidance which comes into force in April 2022. This will now be a key area of development.

– Diocesan Safeguarding Advisory Panel (DSAP) report from the Independent Chair

Purpose

The DSAP exists to offer independent advice and expertise on sound Safeguarding policy, procedure and practice, and to advise the Bishop and Diocesan leadership on the work of safeguarding in the diocese. The panel consists of safeguarding leads from the diocese and the cathedral together with external partners, including the Probation Service, Police, Children’s and Adults Services and Health, all of whom contribute their safeguarding expertise. The DSAP is led by the Independent Chair Helen Jebb.

Governance

During 2021 the DSAP has continued to meet remotely via Teams/Zoom, quarterly, with good attendance from members. There are plans to move to a hybrid meeting arrangement as soon as restrictions allow. Visitors from the NST and Survivor Groups have joined meetings to share their experiences.

During the year new independent members joined DSAP as well as new members from the diocese, providing effective representation. Significant efforts were made to secure appropriate Survivor representation with limited success. All have received induction and a meeting with the Chair to enable them to contribute effectively.

This year a Safeguarding Core Group has also been established to provide a forum for the discussion of strategic safeguarding issues. Attendees include the Bishop, Diocesan Secretary, DSA and Independent Chair. Acting on behalf of DSAP the Chair also meets on a regular basis with the DSA, to support the development of safeguarding practice, particularly focusing upon matters of relevance and interest to DSAP.

The Chair has also continued to build links with Regional DSAP Chairs, the Cathedral, Local Adults and Children’s Safeguarding Boards as well as the Faith and Safeguarding group, to develop relationships with others in the field.

Achievements and progress

During 2021 DSAP had an opportunity to contribute to developments in a number of areas critical to safeguarding in the diocese including:

This is in addition to receiving regular updates from the DSA on training delivery, DBS, casework, parish dashboard and engagement with Parish Safeguarding Officers. The Chair also responds to NST consultations on behalf of DSAP.

PCR2

The work of PCR2 began in January 2021 and has been ongoing throughout the year. On behalf of DSAP, the Chair supported the DSA in the preparation work. The Chair established the PCR2 reference group and ensured that governance and effective monitoring was in place, meeting regularly with the PCR2 Reference Group Chair. Regular updates have been brought to DSAP for broader oversight.

More recently DSAP have had an opportunity to bring oversight to the publication and handling of the final report prior to submission to the NST by the Bishop. This important work will prioritise key safeguarding issues for action in 2022.

The future and next steps

In September 2021 consultation began with DSAP members into ‘What makes an excellent DSAP?’, the aim being to develop a work plan for the panel. This will form a forward plan now for work in 2022/23 helping DSAP members to understand the work of safeguarding in the church better and then asking the right questions to bring scrutiny, provide assurance and share learning.

The Property Team

The Property Team completed some key actions during 2021, despite the continued impact of the pandemic, including;

Financial Review

Statement of financial activities and financial position

Total income was £10.2million (2020 - £9.9million) and expenditure £9.4million (2020 - £9.0million, giving net income before investment gains of £0.8million (2020 - £0.9million).

After the addition of net gains on investment assets of £7.2million (2020 – net gain of £3.3million), the net increase in funds amounted to £8.0million (2019 – £4.2million).

During the year, total fund balances increased from £95.2million to £103.2million and there was an overall net cash inflow of £1.5million (2010– cash inflow £0.1million).

This gives the total picture, but a further breakdown is needed to fully understand the financial position of the Diocese.

Of the total funds of £103.2m, £72.4m are tied up in endowment funds, with £20.1m in Benefice Houses, £46.7m in Stipends Fund Capital – Glebe funds and £5.6m in other permanent endowment funds. A further £9.7m are represented by restricted funds which can only be used in accordance with the terms of the restriction placed on them. Designated funds total £15.9m and are mainly made up of corporate properties and investments, the latter of which are used to produce income to fund our activities. This leaves our general funds of £5.2m. As reported elsewhere our free reserves at 31 December 2021 amount to £5.2m out of our total funds of £103.2m.

Regarding the operational results, it cost £9.0m this year to carry out our unrestricted fund activities. This was funded by income of £8.4m giving an operational loss of £629,961. Additional support as a result of the pandemic brought in £221,000 from the Sustainability Fund, without which the operational deficit would have been £850,961.

Performance against budget

The annual budget is presented to Diocesan Synod for approval and sets out the framework for our financial decisionmaking. The 2021 budget set an operational deficit of £1,437,330.

Budget plans for 2021 included:

Common Fund, the money given by parishes to the Diocese to fund mission and ministry across the Diocese, is the main source of income and accounted for around 49% of total Diocesan income. In 2021 the total amount paid was £4,011,002, which was a decrease of £150,905 over the previous year (2020 - total Common Fund £4,161,907). Receipts were £192,373 greater than budgeted.

12

A total of £1.7million came from the National Church Institutions, including £0.221m from the Sustainability Fund to address the impact of COVID-19 on income, indicating the Board’s dependence on this valuable source of income.

Returns on investments were broadly in line with 2020.

Allchurches Trust annual distribution amounted to £137,000 and the Board acknowledges with thanks the receipt of this grant. Parochial fees were £43,955 less than budgeted as activity struggled to return to pre-pandemic levels.

Ministerial Housing costs rose from the previous year levels as activity started to recommence and included the rental costs of additional properties for new curates. The financial position was further offset by savings in Parish Support costs, mainly through vacancies during the year.

Grant-Making (Beneficiary-Selection)

Grants are made to the National Church to cover a proportion of its central costs and also to cover the cost of training for ministry (see note 12 of the financial statements). Grants are paid to other connected charities and to other charitable projects which support the furtherance of the Board’s objects.

Local Mission Fund

The Local Mission Fund received income which is given to dioceses for the specific purpose of enabling distinctive mission opportunities. The fund has a year-end balance of £27,445 (2020 - £22,445) with no grants paid during the year (2020 – £1,000 in grants). The Fund’s future purpose has been redirected towards ‘Building Community’ initiatives.

Review of the statement of financial position

The Trustees consider that the Statement of Financial Position together with details in note 27 show broadly that the restricted and endowment funds are held in an appropriate mix of investment and current assets given the purposes for which the funds are held. While the net assets at the Statement of Financial Position date totalled £103.2million (2019 - £95.2million) it must be remembered that included in this total are fixed assets, mostly in use for the ministry, whose total value amounted to £31.2million (2020 - £31.5million). Many of the remaining assets shown in the Statement of Financial Position are held in funds which cannot necessarily be used for the general purposes of the Board.

Significant property and associated land transactions

During the year the Board sold five properties, with one additional associated parsonage land sale. Total sales receipted £2,000,180 (2020 - 1 sold, £578,220). In addition, a further four plots of land with a book value of £247,000 were ‘held for sale’ to be sold during 2022.

13

Investment policies and strategy

The Board’s investment policies are kept under review and based on two key policies:

Financial Investment Strategy

The current strategy is to manage investments for sustainable income and to achieve modest capital growth over the longer term. The Board recognises that performance in this area is vital to the direct relief of the demands on Common Fund. Financial investments are held with CCLA Investment Management Ltd (for the Church of England).

Glebe Investment Strategy

Glebe investments are held for the purpose of raising income to achieve the maximum contribution possible to clergy stipends on an ongoing basis. Investments are mainly held in agricultural land and financial investments with CCLA Investment Management Ltd.

Unrestricted and Restricted Fund Investments

Unrestricted and restricted fund investments are invested to balance income, liquidity and the maintenance of capital. Funds which may be needed for working capital in the short-term are held as deposits with CCLA Investment Management Ltd and the Board’s bankers National Westminster Bank.

Investment performance

The value of the Board’s financial investment assets increased by £7.4million in 2021 (2020 – increase in valuation of £3.0million).

- CCLA Investment Management Ltd financial investment managers

At the Statement of Financial Position date, the majority of the Board’s investment with CCLA was in CBF Church of England Investment Fund income shares together with a holding of CBF Church of England Property Fund income shares and CBF Church of England Global Equity income shares.

– Investment properties including glebe agricultural land

Holdings in the portfolio are predominantly agricultural in nature, amounting to approximately 1,300 acres. Agricultural property has been valued by the Board and is based on a desktop valuation provided by Savills, our glebe land agents, as at 31 December 2020. Other small miscellaneous holdings were valued internally in 2015.

The value of the investment held in Wormhill Quarry decreased by £0.2m in 2021 through a combination of activity during the year and a revaluation at 31 December 2021.

The current valuation of the portfolio is £7.3million (2020 - £7.8million). There were no sales during the period and no purchases (2020 – one sale generating £46,042).

- Equity (value linked) loans

Equity loans have been used to purchase houses for ministers on a shared equity basis. In the event of a sale of any of the houses purchased with value-linked loans (VLL), the whole, or a proportionate part, of the net sale proceeds would go to the Church Commissioners.

Total value-linked loans advanced at 31 December 2021 amounted to £274,938 for 5 loans (2020 - £274,938, 5 loans).

Reserves Policy

Free reserves

The Board has considerable responsibilities including the remuneration of around 130 stipendiary clergy posts, the upkeep of 175 houses and the employment of approximately 44 full or part-time staff. Most of the Board’s income is voluntary and the Board has noted that a substantial proportion of its voluntary income is from Common Fund with the balance made up of grant income from the Church Commissioners and income from investments and other sources.

Having considered financial risk, liquidity requirement and the timing of cash flows throughout the course of the financial year, the policy is to hold a balance of readily realisable assets in the general fund equivalent to three months budgeted unrestricted expenditure. At 31 December 2021 the amount required under this policy totalled £2.35m (2020 - £2.35million). Actual free reserves as at 31 December 2021 totalled £5.2million (2020 - £4.9million). With the continuing impact of COVID19, it is considered appropriate to hold reserves above the policy level.

The aim of Bishop’s Council is to ensure that financial plans over a three-year period are in step with the ability to raise income and that spending plans are affordable.

Reserves tied up in fixed assets

The Statement of Financial Position comprises net fixed assets amounting to £31.2million of which £23,966 is held as office equipment (Note 16).

Designated funds

The Trustees may designate additional unrestricted reserves to be retained for an agreed purpose where this is considered to be prudent. Such designated reserves are reviewed on an annual basis and returned to the general fund in the event that the purpose of their designation is no longer considered to be adequate justification for their retention. A description of each reserve together with the intended use of the reserve is set out in Note 28 of the financial statements. At 31 December 2021 total designated reserves were £15.9m (2020 - £16.2million) of which £10.9m is held in tangible fixed assets as corporate property (2020 - £11.1million).

Restricted and endowment funds

As set out in Notes 29 and 30, the Board holds and administers a large number of restricted and endowment funds. As at 31 December 2021 restricted funds totalled £9.7m (2020 - £7.1m) and endowment funds totalled £72.4m (2020 - £67.0m). Neither restricted or endowment funds are available for the general purposes of the Board.

15

Principal risks and uncertainties

The trustees confirm that the major risks, to which the Board is exposed, as identified by the trustees and employees, have been reviewed and that systems and procedures have been established to manage those risks.

The risk register identifies several risks and action plans are developed to mitigate risks to reduce the probability of the risk arising, or the impact should the risk arise. Dioceses initially identified two areas where the risk of either failure to act or the impact of the events is considered ‘very high’. These areas are:

Management and mitigation

The Management and mitigation of these ongoing risks are considered regularly by Diocesan Officers and reported to Trustees. Common Fund is reviewed monthly with regular dialogue between the Finance Team, Parishes, Area Deans and Archdeacons. Stipendiary deployment is reviewed monthly by the Bishops and her Executive Staff.

Following the development of the Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), the principle risks above remained relevant and become higher risk, with new risks as outlined below:

Management and mitigation

The Management and mitigation of these new risks are considered by Diocesan Officers and reported regularly to Trustees:

Structure and Governance

Summary information about the structure of the Church of England

The Church of England is organised as two provinces, each led by an Archbishop (Canterbury for the Southern Province and York for the Northern). Each province comprises dioceses of which there are 42 in total. Each diocese is divided into parishes. Each parish is overseen by a parish priest (often called a vicar or rector). From ancient times through to today, they and their Bishop are responsible for the ‘cure of souls’ in their parish.

Her Majesty the Queen, who is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England, appoints Archbishops, Bishops and Deans of Cathedrals on the advice of the Prime Minister. The two Archbishops and 24 senior Bishops sit in the House of Lords.

The Church of England is episcopally-led by Diocesan Bishops assisted by Suffragan and Area Bishops. It is governed by General Synod as its legislative and deliberative body at national level, making decisions on matters of doctrine, the holding of church services and relations with other churches. General Synod passes Measures which, if accepted by Parliament, have the effect of Acts of Parliament. It is made up of three groups or houses of members; the Houses of Bishops, of Clergy and of Laity, and meets in London or York at least twice annually to consider legislation for the broader good of the Church.

The Three National Church Institutions

The Archbishops’ Council, the Church Commissioners and the Church of England Pensions Board are sometimes referred to as the three National Church Institutions. The Archbishops’ Council was established in 1999 to co-ordinate, promote, aid and further the mission of the Church of England. Its task is to give a clear sense of direction to the Church nationally and support the Church locally by acting as a policy discussion forum.

The Church Commissioners manage the historic assets of the Church of England, spending most of their income on pensions for the clergy. The costs of episcopal administration through the Diocesan and Suffragan Bishops are met by the Church Commissioners.

The Church of England Pensions Board was established by the Church Assembly in 1926 as the Church of England’s pension authority to administer the pension scheme for the clergy. Subsequently it has been given wider powers, in respect of discretionary benefits and accommodation both for those retired from stipendiary ministry and for widow(er)s of those who have served in that ministry, and to administer pension schemes for lay employees of Church organisations. The Pensions Board, which reports to the General Synod, is the trustee of a number of pension funds and charitable funds. Whilst the Church has drawn together under the Pensions Board its central responsibilities for retirement welfare, the Pensions Board works in close cooperation both with the Archbishops’ Council and with the Church Commissioners.

Derby Cathedral

The cathedral church is legally constituted as a separate entity currently exempt from Charity Commission registration and supervision. Copies of its annual report and financial statements may be obtained from the Cathedral Administrator, Derby Cathedral Office, Cathedral Centre, 18-19 Iron Gate, Derby DE1 3GP.

The information about General Synod, the Church Commissioners, the Archbishops’ Council and cathedral is included as background only. The financial transactions of these bodies do not form part of these financial statements.

Parochial Church Council (PCC)

The PCC is the elected governing body of an individual parish which broadly is the smallest pastoral area in the Church of England. Typically, each parish has one parish church, though it may have more than one designated place of worship. The PCC is made up of the vicar (or rector) as chair, the churchwardens and a number of elected and ex-officio members. Each PCC is a charity and is currently excepted from registration with the Charity Commission, subject to the Charities Act 2006, under which those PCCs with gross income over £100,000 for the year are required to register. Except where shown, the transactions of PCCs do not form part of these financial statements. Financial statements of an individual PCC are prepared by the relevant PCC treasurer.

Parishes and Benefices

A benefice is a parish or group of parishes served by an incumbent who typically receives a stipend or part stipend, though some may not, and, usually, the benefit of free occupation and use of a parsonage house from the Diocese for carrying out spiritual duties.

Deanery and Archdeaconry

A deanery is a group of parishes supported by an Area Dean, Deanery Administrator and Deanery leadership Team, and an archdeaconry is a group of deaneries for which an Archdeacon is responsible. The Diocese is then the principal pastoral and in turn financial and administrative resource of the Church of England, encompassing the various archdeaconries under the leadership of the Diocesan Bishop.

17

Deanery Synods

Deanery Synods have two houses, laity and clergy, and their role is to:

Diocesan Synod

The statutory governing body of the Diocese is the Diocesan Synod which is elected with representation across the Diocese with broadly equal numbers of clergy and lay people meeting together in Diocesan Synod with the Diocesan Bishop, the Suffragan Bishop and Archdeacons. Its role is to:

Organisational structure

The Diocese of Derby is one of 42 administrative units of the Church of England, covering the whole of Derbyshire and a few parishes on the fringes of the county in Staffordshire. It is administered through Derby Diocesan Board of Finance Limited (The); (the Board), a charitable trust company limited by guarantee.

During 2021 the Diocese was arranged as two archdeaconries, Chesterfield covering the north part with four deaneries and Derby the south with four deaneries. There are some 259 parishes within the Diocese.

Diocesan governance

Diocesan governance is by Diocesan Synod which is an elected body with representation from all parts of the Diocese. Membership consists of ex-officio members, including the Bishops and Archdeacons, clergy members elected by the houses of clergy in Deanery Synods, lay persons elected by the houses of laity in Deanery Synods. The standing committee have the right to nominate persons for co-option by the House of Clergy or the House of Laity or otherwise to determine who else may nominate such persons but in other respects the procedure for co-opting members shall be determined by the respective houses. The Diocesan Synod usually meets three to four times a year.

Many of Diocesan Synod’s responsibilities have been delegated to Bishop’s Council as the Standing Committee of Diocesan Synod.

The Bishop’s Council (and Standing Committee of the Diocesan Synod) Under the constitution of the Diocesan Synod, Bishop’s Council has the following functions:

Decision-Making Structure

Policy is formulated by the Bishop’s Council for approval where required by Diocesan Synod. Strategic delivery of policy is the responsibility of the Diocesan Secretary. Bishop’s Council may delegate any of its powers to the Business Committee.

18

Committee Structure

Bishop’s Council

The members of the Bishop’s Council are the Board of Trustees and Directors of the Company. Bishop’s Council consists of eight ex-officio members (the Diocesan and Suffragan Bishops; two Archdeacons; the Dean; the Chairs of the House of Clergy and House of Laity; the Executive Chair of the Board of Finance; the Chair of the Board of Education; the Chair of the Diocesan Mission and Pastoral Committee; four clergy elected by the House of Clergy from among their number (two from each of the Archdeaconry of Chesterfield and Derby) and nine lay persons elected by the members of the House of Laity (with at least three from each Archdeaconry) The maximum number of Directors shall not exceed 30.

Other statutory committees include:

Parsonages Committee - is responsible for determining policy and making major decisions concerning the management of parsonage houses in each benefice. This includes setting the policy for buying, repairing, maintaining and disposing of all parsonage houses, team vicarages and houses owned by the Board. From 21 May 2016 the Diocesan Board of Finance was designated as the Parsonage Board, which in turn delegates its functions to the Business Committee.

Diocesan Mission and Pastoral Committee - is responsible for the task of recommending pastoral reorganisation, taking account of available clergy numbers and making use of new patterns of ministry. From 1 August 2015 this committee became coterminous with Bishop’s Council, and the Chair is therefore the Bishop.

Diocesan Advisory Committee - advises on matters affecting churches and places of worship such as the granting of faculties, architecture, archaeology, art and the history of places of worship, the use and care of places of worship and their contents and the care of churchyards.

Derby Diocesan Board of Patronage - is constituted under the provisions of the Patronage (Benefices) Measure 1986, is sole patron or joint patron of a number of benefices.

In addition to the statutory committees Bishop’s Council has set up the Business Committee, which has written terms of reference, to advise it on all governance and financial matters.

The Business Committee - meets approximately ten times each year and will work closely with the Diocesan Secretary. The Business Committee advises the Bishop’s Council, in the discharge of the trustees’ responsibilities for accounting policy, internal control, financial reporting and risk management. In addition, it provides strategic advice on the management of the Board’s investment assets.

The Glebe Management Committee - is specifically tasked under the Endowments and Glebe Measure 1976 to manage diocesan glebe holdings to augment the diocesan stipends fund. From 12 July 2016 the Business Committee was designated as the Glebe Committee.

Remuneration Sub-Committee – is a sub-committee of the Business Committee and meets as and when required to make recommendations and decisions on clergy and lay employee remuneration.

Significant Control, Trustees and Management Personnel

Register of Persons of Significant Control

The Board maintains a Register of Persons of Significant Control.

Trustee Recruitment, Selection & Induction

The Trustees are the members of Bishop’s Council and Directors of the company. Trustees are either ex-officio members or elected from the Diocesan Synod. Synod members are elected from representatives across the Diocese including clergy and lay people. Elections taking place every three years, with the last elections undertake in 2021. Trustees are given induction training when first appointed and receive ongoing training, as appropriate. Some staff hold the title of ‘Director’, but this relates to their function within the organisation and has no legal meaning within the terminology associated with the Companies Act. All Trustees are required to sign the code of practice and maintain their entry in the record of declarations of interest and loyalty.

The Board has indemnity insurance for its trustees and key management personnel and £1,000,000 (2020 - £1,000,000) of cover is provided.

Remuneration of key management personnel

Emoluments of higher-paid employees are determined by a Remuneration Panel consisting of a sub-set of members of the Business Committee including the Executive Chair of the Board of Finance, meeting as and when required. The terms of reference for this group is established by the Bishop’s Council and includes; regular appraisals, remuneration and salary benchmarking and recommendation of changes where necessary.

19

Delegation of day-to-day delivery

The Trustees and the sub-committee which assist them in the fulfilment of their responsibilities, rely upon the Diocesan Secretary and their colleagues for the delivery of the day-to-day activities of the company. The Diocesan Secretary is given specific and general delegated authority to deliver the business of the Board in accordance with the policies framed by the Trustees.

Funds held as Custodian Trustee

The Board is custodian trustee of assets held on permanent trust by virtue of the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956 and the Incumbents and churchwardens (Trusts) Measure 1964 where the managing trustees are parochial church councils and others. These assets are not aggregated in the financial statements as the Board does not control them, and they are segregated from the Board’s own assets by means of separate bank accounts and accounting system. Further details of financial trust assets, whose market value amounted to £3.1million at 31 December 2021 (2020 - £2.8million), are available from the Board on request, and are summarised in note 31 of the financial statements. Where properties are held as custodian trustee, the deeds are identified as such and held in safe custody by the Board's solicitors.

Personnel

The efficient and effective running of the Diocese requires high quality staff across the DDBF. Our grateful thanks go to all the staff who supported the Diocese during 2021.

Although this report refers to employees of the Board and not parochial clergy, we would also like to thank the clergy who continue to deliver our mission across the Diocese.

General Synod Members

We would also like to acknowledge the General Synod representatives and thank them for their hard work acting as our elected members of General Synod. During 2021 our elected representatives were; Kat Alldread, Revd Neil Barber (from 14 October 2021) Revd Mark Broomhead (to 13 October 2021), Sue Cavill (from 14 October 2021), Revd Alicia Dring, Revd Julian Hollywell, Sian Kellogg, and Rhodri Williams (to 13 October 2021).

The trustees approve their Annual Report and, in their capacity as company directors, also approve the Strategic Report incorporated therein.

Related parties

General Synod, Church Commissioners and Archbishop's Council

The Board has a duty to comply with Measures passed by the General Synod of the Church of England and is required to make certain annual payments to the Archbishops’ Council towards the running costs of the National Church. The stipends of the Diocesan and Suffragan Bishops and cathedral clergy are borne by the Church Commissioners and are not reflected in these financial statements.

Parochial Church Councils (PCCs)

The Board is required by Measure to be custodian trustee in relation to PCC property, but the Company has no control over PCCs, which are independent charities and operate under the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956. The accounts of PCCs and deaneries do not form part of these financial statements.

PCCs are able to influence the decision-making within the Board and at Diocesan Synod level through representations to those bodies and through the input of their Deanery Synods.

Other charities

Derby Diocesan Board of Education

Derby Diocesan Board of Education (DDBE) is the statutory education authority for the Church in the Diocese. Its purpose is to promote and assist in the promotion of education in the Diocese, consistent with the faith and practice of the Church of England including the promotion of religious education and worship in schools within the Diocese. In addition, its purpose is to promote church schools in the Diocese and to advise governors of such schools. Whilst the DDBE is incorporated as a separate legal entity, the DDBF provides significant resources to the DDBE to facilitate the shared vision for mission and ministry with children and young people.

The Board co-operates with certain other charities in pursuit of its charitable objects and details of payments to these are to be found in note 12 to the financial statements.

Fundraising standards information

TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees (who are also directors of Derby Diocesan Board of Finance for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report (including the Strategic Report) and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DERBY DIOCESAN BOARD OF FINANCE LIMITED (THE)

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Derby Diocesan Board of Finance Limited (The) (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the statement of financial activities, statement of financial position, statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

  1. give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 December 2021, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;

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

  3. have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

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 Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company 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 charitable company'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 other information comprises the information included in the report of the trustees, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the report of the trustees. 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. 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 course of 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

  1. the information given in the trustees' report (incorporating the strategic report and the directors’ report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

  2. the strategic report and the directors’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

22

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report and the directors’ report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

  1. adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

  2. the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

  3. certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or

  4. we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they 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 charitable company’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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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 an auditor’s report 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 specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

We assessed the susceptibility of the entity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we

23

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/Our-Work/Audit/Audit-and-assurance/Standards-and-guidance/Standards-and-guidance-forauditors/Auditors-responsibilities-for-audit/Description-of-auditors-responsibilities-for-audit.aspx. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters 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 charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

DERBY DIOCESAN BOARD OF FINANCE LIMITED (THE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 December 2021

1. Accounting Policies

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of freehold properties, which are included at their fair value as determined under the applicable valuation method as detailed in c), and fixed asset investments, which are included at their market value at the balance sheet date. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities (SORP (FRS 102)), the Companies Act 2006 and applicable accounting standards, Financial Reporting Standard (FRS) 102.

Derby Diocesan Board of Finance Ltd meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

The principle accounting policies and estimation techniques are as follows:

a) Income

All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the Board 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.

b) Expenditure

Expenditure is included on the accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the Statement of Financial Activity category.

The apportionment can be summarised as follows:

Resourcing ministry and mission (95.0%), Diocesan Projects (1.5%), Synodical Governance (3.5%)

30

DERBY DIOCESAN BOARD OF FINANCE LIMITED (THE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2021

c) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Freehold & leasehold houses and houses subject to value-linked loan

The primary purpose of residential property held in the benefice houses fund and as corporate houses is to house ministers and all such properties are held as functional fixed assets. Residential property is not held for investment purposes i.e. to generate an income or for capital gain.

Freehold houses and houses subject to value-linked loan are shown at cost, or deemed cost, where historic cost values are not readily available.

Where the Board acquires property on its own account, the expenditure is capitalised. Gains or losses arising from sales of corporate property are dealt with through the designated fund (corporate properties fund).

Depreciation is not provided on buildings as any provision (annual or cumulative) would not be material due to the very long expected remaining useful economic life in each case, and because their expected residual value is not materially less than their carrying value. The Board has a policy of regular structural inspection, repair and maintenance, which in the case of residential properties is in accordance with the Repair of Benefices Buildings Measure 1972 and properties are therefore unlikely to deteriorate or suffer from obsolescence. In addition, disposals of properties occur well before the end of their economic lives and disposal proceeds are usually not less than their carrying value. The Trustees perform annual impairment reviews in accordance with the requirements of FRS 102 to ensure that the carrying value is not more than the recoverable amount.

Investment properties

Glebe properties which are held for investment purposes and rented out have been included at their fair value. Glebe agricultural land was valued as at 31 December 2020 by Savills, Chartered Surveyors, who manage the portfolio. For allotments and other small miscellaneous holdings, a valuation is provided by the Assistant Secretary (Property) (an employee of the Derby Diocesan Board of Finance Limited).

The fair value of a quarry was valued as at 31 December 2021 by Coke Turner & Co, Mineral Surveyors, who act as agents for the Board, based on the rent and royalty income streams likely to be achieved over the remaining term of the lease.

Parsonage houses

The Board has followed the requirements of FRS 102, in its accounting treatment for benefice houses (parsonages). FRS 102 requires the accounting treatment to follow the substance of arrangements rather than their strict legal form. The Board is formally responsible for the maintenance and repair of such properties and has 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 is vested in the incumbent. Parsonage houses are carried at their deemed or historical cost.

d) Other tangible fixed assets

No provision for depreciation is provided in respect of Church House, as it is fully maintained with a view to ensuring that the total residual value is not less than the amount stated in the financial statements. Accordingly, any depreciation would be immaterial.

Depreciation on office equipment is calculated to write off the cost of each asset over its expected useful life by equal annual instalments at the rates below, (% p.a. on cost). Items costing less than £1,000 are not capitalised.

Computer hardware and software 33⅓% straight line
Furniture & fittings 10% straight line
Other office equipment 20% straight line

e) Other accounting policies

31

DERBY DIOCESAN BOARD OF FINANCE LIMITED (THE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2021

f) Fund balances

Fund Balances are split between unrestricted (general and designated), restricted and endowment funds.

Trusts where the Board acts merely as custodian trustee with no control over the management of the funds are not included in the financial statements but are summarised in the note 31 to the financial statements.

g) Financial instruments

The Board of Finance 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 measured at their settlement value except for bank loans which would be subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

h) Going concern

The Board have considered the continuing impact of COVID-19 on the charitable company’s income and operating cost base. It is believed that the duration and extent of the disruption has started to ease, and the Board are confident that they have in place plans to deal with any future financial losses that may arise, as provided for when setting the 2022 and indicative 2023 budget.

The Board have prepared forecasts of income and expenditure and cash flow for the period to 31 December 2023 and subjected these forecasts to sensitivity analysis which shows that they have sufficient reserves to be able to continue for the foreseeable future. They will continue to monitor the impact on income and take appropriate action as necessary. The Board therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of preparation for these financial statements

i) Employee Benefits

When employees have rendered service to the charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

j) Debtors

Debtors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

k) Creditors & Provisions

Creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

Provisions are recognised when the charity has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount can be reliably estimated.

l) Critical Accounting Estimates & Assumptions

The Board makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

The present values of Church of England Funded Pension Scheme depend on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a variety of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the net cost(income) for pensions include the discount rate. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying value of the pension liability .

Another area of key estimation uncertainty is the valuation of investment land and property. The valuations are subject to judgements of an expert or management including, but not limited to, the state of repair of the properties, local knowledge, future income yields and market conditions.

18. Assets Held for Sale

Non current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations requires properties in the process of being sold to be treated separately from assets held for continuing activities. For assets to be classified as 'Held for Sale' they must satisfy a number of conditions including the availability of immediate sale and that the sale is highly probable. To be highly probable; the organisation must be committed to a plan to sell the assets; an active programme to find a buyer must have been initiated; the asset must be actively marketed for sale at a price reasonable to its current fair value; the sale is expected to be completed within 1 year from the date of classification, and significant changes to the plan should be unlikely.

At 31 December 2021, there were 4 plots of land classified as 'Held for Sale, with a book value of £247,000 (2020 - 3 properties, £615,044).

24. Events occurring after the end of the reporting period

In 2021 the value of financial investment assets increased by £7.5m as per note 17. The impact of conflict in Eastern Europe has had a detrimental effect on the value of financial investment assets since 31 December 2021, reducing them by £2.6m in Q1 of 2022. This is a non-adjusting post balance sheet item under FRS102. The users of the financial statements attention is drawn to this, as the value of the financial investment assets is volatile and affected by global economic, political and social events.

25. Pensions

The Board participates in two pension schemes administered by the Church of England Pensions Board, which holds the assets of the� schemes separately from those of the Board and the other participating employers. One of these is the Church of England Funded Pensions� Scheme for stipendiary clergy. The other is the Church Workers Pension Fund. The Church Workers Pension Fund has a section known as�the Defined Benefits Scheme, a deferred annuity section known as Pension Builder Classic and a cash balance section known as Pension�Builder 2014.

These schemes are multi-employer last man standing defined benefit pension schemes for which the Board is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities as each employer is exposed to actuarial risks associated with the current and former employees of other entities participating in the scheme. For multi-employer schemes where this is the case, paragraph 28.11 of Financial Reporting Standard (FRS) 102 requires the Board to account for pension costs on the basis of contributions actually payable to the scheme in the year and, where contributions are affected by a surplus or deficit in the scheme, to disclose information about the surplus or deficit and the implications of the surplus or deficit for the Board. A valuation of each scheme is carried out once every three years.

Church of England Funded Pension Scheme

With effect from 1 January 1998, diocesan clergy became members of the Church of England Funded Pensions Scheme. This defined benefit scheme provides benefits based on the National Minimum Stipend in the year before their date of retirement and provides for that part of the benefit that relates to pensionable service after 1 January 1998. Benefits are currently being accrued on the basis of half of the National Minimum Stipend (NMS) being paid as the normal pension on reaching the age of 68 on completion of maximum service of 41.5 years, or 1.25 times this amount for archdeacons, plus a lump sum of three times the pension based on the previous year's NMS payable from the scheme. Pensions in respect of pensionable service before 1 January 1998 will be provided for by the Church Commissioners under the previous arrangements.

The Board participates in the Church of England Funded Pensions Scheme which is administered by the Church of England Pensions Board and holds the assets of the Scheme separately from those of the employer and other participating employers. At the end of the year the Board was paying contributions for 132 members of the Scheme (2020 - 138 members). Each participating employer in the Scheme pays contributions at a common contribution rate applied to pensionable stipends. The Scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. This means that it is not possible to attribute the Scheme's assets and liabilities to specific employers and that contributions are accounted for as if the Scheme were a defined contribution scheme. The pensions costs charged to the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) in the year are contributions payable towards benefits and expenses accrued in that year, plus any impact of deficit contributions (see below).

40

DERBY DIOCESAN BOARD OF FINANCE LIMITED (THE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2021

25. Pensions (continued)

A valuation of the Scheme is carried out once every three years. The most recent Scheme valuation completed was carried out as at 31 December 2018. This revealed a deficit of £50m, based on assets of £1,818m and a funding target of £1,868m, assessed using the following assumptions:

Following the 31 December 2018 valuation of the Scheme, a recovery plan was put in place until 31 December 2022 and the deficit repair contributions payable (as a percentage of pensionable stipends) are set out in the table below.

Percentage of pensionable stipends

Percentage of pensionable stipends
January 2018 January 2021
to December 2020 to December 2022
Deficit repair contributions 11.9% 7.1%

As at 31 December 2019, 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2021 the deficit recovery contributions under the recovery plan in force were as set out in the above table.

Post scheme valuation, the deficit recovery contribution from 1 April 2022 has been lowered from 7.1% to 3.2%.

For senior office holders, pensionable stipends are adjusted in the calculations by a multiple, as set out in the Scheme's rules.

Section 28.11A of FRS 102 requires agreed deficit recovery payments to be recognised as a liability. The movement in the balance sheet liability over 2020 and over 2021 is set out in the table below.

25. Pensions (continued)

This liability represents the present value of the deficit contributions agreed as at the accounting date and has been valued using the following assumptions. In general, these are set by reference to the duration of the deficit recovery payments but as at 31 December 2021, under accounting rules the payments are not discounted since the remaining recovery plan is less than 12 months. No price inflation assumption is needed since pensionable stipends for the remainder of the recovery plan are already known.

Price inflation n/a 3.1 2.8 3.1 3.0
Increase in total pensionable payroll -1.5 1.6 1.3 1.6 1.5

The legal structure of the Scheme is such that if another Responsible Body fails, Derby Diocesan Board of Finance Ltd could become responsible for paying a share of that Responsible Body's pension liabilities.

Office holder pension contributions are shown in Note 14 and totalled £1,286,904 in 2021 (2020 £1,306,631)

Other clergy pension contributions, paid to ordained DBF staff are shown in Note 13 and totalled £39,481 in 2021 (2020 £22,150)

Church Workers Pension Fund

The Pension Builder Scheme of the Church Workers Pension Fund (CWPF) is made up of two sections, Pension Builder Classic and Pension Builder 2014, both of which are classed as defined benefit schemes.

Church Workers Pension Fund - Pension Builder 2014

Pension Builder 2014 is a cash balance scheme that provides a lump sum which members use to provide benefits at retirement.

Pension contributions are recorded in an account for each member. Discretionary bonuses may be added before retirement, depending on investment returns and other factors. The account, plus any bonuses declared, is payable, unreduced from age 65.

There is no sub-division of assets between employers in each section of the Pension Builder Scheme.

The scheme is a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102 as it is not possible to attribute the Pension Builder Scheme’s assets and liabilities to specific employers. This means that contributions are accounted for as if the Scheme were a defined contribution scheme.

A valuation of the Pension Builder Scheme is carried out once every three years. The most recent was carried out as at 31 December 2019. The next valuation is due at 31 December 2022.

For the Pension Builder 2014 section, the valuation revealed a surplus of £5.5m on the ongoing assumptions used. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current time.

The legal structure of the scheme is such that if another employer fails, the employer could become responsible for paying a share of the failed employer’s pension liabilities.

Contributions made to The Church Workers Pension Schemes are shown in Note 13 and totalled £82,857 in 2021 (2020 £86,587)

Other Schemes

In addition to the Church of England Pension scheme, for those employees who have opted out of the scheme, contributions are made to individual pension schemes at the same rate.

Contributions made to opted out employees are shown in Note 13 and totalled £8,400 in 2021 (2020 £8,379)
