## **Review of activities** 

## **1. Education** 

The sisters continue to be involved with the local community with some serving as governors at local schools. 

Sr Dorothy Stella is no longer a governor but continues to offer help at school with early maths and literacy skills. 

## **St Hilda’s Bursary Award: OHP Trustees Report 2021 - 2022** 

The total value of awards for the year 2021 – 2022 was £6,970. There was some increase in award applications during the year though applications have not yet returned to pre-COVID levels; there is a backlog of rearranged plans among potential students. The balance on the £6,000 grant for the year (approx. £3,000) had been designated as an award to Caedmon College Whitby to help post16 students who had fallen behind. This was paid in the 2021 – 2022 financial year. 

The update of promotional material is in process. 

Awards of between £100 and £500 were made to 13 individuals; these were made towards costs for Sports Sciences, Biological Sciences, Geography, Psychology, Professional Policing, Nursing, work placements at Wembley and for dyslexia testing/equipment for university student. 

**Holy Paraclete Women’s Skills Centre** : Sunyani, Ghana: HOPWOSC is a place where disadvantaged women aged 16-35, from various educational backgrounds, or without any schooling, are given skills to empower them financially. The three year training includes dressmaking, tailoring, craft work, bead craft, crocheting and other fashion accessories; basic literacy and numeracy for those who need it; talk in business management, life skills, health issues, pastoral care and growth in spiritual life are given to enhance their lives after training. 

Trainees are able to sit for the National Vocational Training Institutes exams at the centre. Successful candidates are awarded national certificates which will enable them to apply for jobs, establish their own businesses or further their vocational education. 

In the year 2021 twenty trainees graduated. Ten now work in their own villages; five have opened their own shops and have their own apprentices; two are working either on a veranda or under a tree in their homes; two have partnered previous graduates and one is teaching in the Centre. 

Currently there are thirty-seven trainees. The Centre is also used as an exam centre for other private candidates.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022**_ 

## **2. Health Care** 

## – Aelred Wing Priory, UK 

The Order has an obligation to care for its members, none of whom has resources of their own and all of whom have devoted a significant part of their lives to the work of the Order. 

In common with many religious communities in Great Britain, the age profile of the members of the Order is increasing, as existing members grow older, and the number of new vocations decreases. 

For most of the year there were 8 Sisters in permanence residence in the Aelred Wing, But sadly one sister passed away just before Easter and a 2[nd] one just after the year end. 

During the year the CQC held a spot inspection as a result of which the Wing was rated Good. 

## Jachie Eye Clinic and Eye Hospital - Ghana 

Jachie Eye Hospital is a small hospital in Ghana. It has a suite of modern equipment. There is great scope to prevent much blindness. 

The other main service is the Outreach service from the Clinic which allows the clinic to provide Eye care treatment to people at their homes. 

## **3. Pastoral Work** 

Sisters from the Priory work in a voluntary capacity in Whitby. Two sisters have worked at the Foodbank. One sister works as the Deanery Administrator and secretary to the Deanery Synod. Two Sisters work as part of the Diocesan Vocations Team. Many sisters provide spiritual accompaniment to individuals on a regular basis and others provide a listening ear responding to individual needs. 

All the sisters share in the ministry of Hospitality. 

## Easterside 

Sr Karan has continued to develop the ministry in Easterside, Middlesbrough. 

Sr Karan has established a regular worship slot in the house during the week when she is joined by some of the local residents for morning worship and the Eucharist, for Lent groups and bible study. 

Karan has continued to offer support at the Genesis project. 

She has also worked on the house and garden which had been neglected during the interregnum. The property now looks much more welcoming and can form the base for a future ministry. 

## **4. Hospitality** 

In keeping with the Monastic tradition, all the houses of the Order welcome guests. 

At the Priory, after a slow start to the year, the hospitality ministry has shown a steady increase as people gained confidence after the relaxation of pandemic restrictions. Bookings have been mainly from individuals seeking some quiet time away but also 4 group and Wedding guests from Sneaton Castle. 

Next year we hope to have a small Retreat programme in place. 

Chapel is central to the life and prayer of the Order, and many of our guests come to share in our worship or to use the Chapel for their own worship. 

## **Financial review** 

The number of life professed sisters was 21 at the end of the year under review; the majority of them are pensionable, having given most of their lives to the charitable work of the Order. There have been no new vocations this year. One sister died during the year and one just after the year end. The average age of the Community is currently 78 years. 

The Statement of Financial Activities shows that the total resources decreased by £1,236,078 during the year (2021: £27,819 gain), which includes £622,362 losses (2021: £860,392 gains) on investments in the year. 

At the end of the year to June 2022 the total funds of the company were £10,175,806 (2021: £11,411,884). Of this some £5,456,189 (2021: £5,548,698) was in fixed assets needed for the work of the Order and £4,530,204 (2021: £5,239,767) in investments. From the remaining current assets and liabilities £146,275 (2021: £144,559) was made up of restricted funds and £53,002 (£87,407) designated funds leaving a balance of £(3,527) (2021: £391,453) in general funds.

## **THE CHAPTER OF THE ORDER OF THE HOLY PARACLETE** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022**_ 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The members of the Order shall work for their living. The Order is under obligation to support its members during training, in old age and in sickness, and to maintain its property adequately. For such purposes it shall be permissible to use income derived from trusts and investments, and if necessary to realise capital. Such income may also be used for the development of existing work and when new work is to be undertaken. It shall be the responsibility of each Chapter, and more especially of the Greater Chapter, to ensure that all property and income is being used to be of the greatest value to the Church and Society, and to remember that, ultimately, a religious community is bound to live by faith. Whilst exercising a careful stewardship in the management of its present affairs it must avoid the accumulation of capital beyond its foreseeable requirements. 

The annual resources required to fund the Order’s activities before investment, legacy and non-recurring income currently falls short of expenditure by £759,901. Using a current annuity rate of around 3.77% based on the average age of the community of 78 years the free reserves required would be £20,156,525. The current figure is £4,461,354. The Order keeps the policy under review considering the work undertaken and the number and average age of the community. 

## **Risk management** 

The Order examines all its activities at its annual General Chapter and its finances at the AGM of the company. Its operations and any major risks that the Order might face are under regular review by the Chapter Standing Committee (Policy) and Council of Management (Board of the Company). The trustees consider that adequate systems are in place to monitor and control these risks to mitigate the Order's exposure to them. 

## **Plans for future periods** 

St Oswald’s is now being run by the new St Oswald’s Community, and while the Prioress serves as a Trustee the Order is no longer responsible for the running of the house. 

The Order intends to continue to meet the following objectives: 

- To continue to care for the sisters and to enable them to carry out their pastoral work 

- To continue to support the overseas work through the allocation of donations given for this work 

- To continue to review environmental issues 

- To monitor the needs of the sisters as they grow older and, if necessary, adapt the Order’s plans in respect of property needs and provision of care to elderly members 

- To monitor the outgoing expenses and look for new ways to generate income 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The Chapter of the Order of the Holy Paraclete is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. 

The Order of the Holy Paraclete (the Order) is a Religious Order within the Anglican Church. It is administered by the Chapter (comprising all full members of the Order) under the chairmanship of the Prioress. The Prioress is elected by the members of the Chapter to serve for a period of five years. 

The assets of the Chapter are held in the accounts detailed in this report; the Order's charitable activities are funded by these accounts. The Chapter was registered with the Charities Commission on 9 May 1964, registration number 271117, and was registered as an unlimited company on 20 January 1976, company registration number 1241044. 

## **Trustees recruitment and appointment** 

As set out in the Articles of Association the Trustees shall not be less than three not more than seven. The trustees shall consist of the Prioress, Sub-Prioress, the Bursar and four other members of the Chapter. These elected trustees retire in rotation. The trustees are also directors of the company. 

## **Organisation** 

The Chapter usually meets twice a year to review the state of the Order and take such decisions as are necessary to fulfil its objects. 

A Chapter Standing Committee has been set up comprising the Prioress, Sub-Prioress, Chapter Clerk, one Sister appointed by the Prioress and four elected members. This committee is to act on behalf of the Chapter between meetings with specific purposes and powers.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022**_ 

## **Trustee induction and training** 

Eligibility to become a trustee is dependent upon a sister being in profession. There is a three-year period of training, discernment and assessment within the Order before a new member is accepted as a sister in profession in the Order. 

Trustees take advantage of on-going training opportunities relevant to trusteeship. 

## **Related Parties** 

A summary of transactions with related parties is set out in note 22 of the financial statements. 

## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities** 

The trustees, who are also the directors of The Chapter of The Order of The Holy Paraclete for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' 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 year. 

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

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

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

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. 

## Disclosure of information to auditor 

Each of the trustees has confirmed that there is no information of which they are aware which is relevant to the audit, but of which the auditor is unaware. They have further confirmed that they have taken appropriate steps to identify such relevant information and to establish that the auditor is aware of such information. 

The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

## **THE CHAPTER OF THE ORDER OF THE HOLY PARACLETE** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CHAPTER OF THE ORDER OF THE HOLY PARACLETE** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of The Chapter of The Order of The Holy Paraclete (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 30 June 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the statement of financial position, the 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: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 30 June 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended; 

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

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the 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 trustees annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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 our audit: 

- the information given in the trustees' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared, which includes the directors' report prepared for the purposes of company law, is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- the directors' report included within the trustees' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

## **THE CHAPTER OF THE ORDER OF THE HOLY PARACLETE** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CHAPTER OF THE ORDER OF THE HOLY PARACLETE** 

## **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 directors' report included within the trustees' 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: 

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

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

- certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or 

- the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the trustees' report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purpose 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** 

The objectives of our audit, in respect to fraud, are to identify and access the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud and obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses, and to respond appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the entity and management. 

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

## **THE CHAPTER OF THE ORDER OF THE HOLY PARACLETE** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CHAPTER OF THE ORDER OF THE HOLY PARACLETE** 

Our approach was a follows: 

- During our planning process we gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the charitable company and determined that the most significant of them, which are directly relevant to specific assertions in the financial statements, are those that relate to the reporting framework (FRS102 and the Companies Act 2006) and the relevant tax compliance regulations in the UK; 

- We gained an understanding of how the charitable company is complying with these frameworks by making enquiries of trustees, key management and if necessary, advisors responsible for legal and compliance matters.  We observed key controls and made appropriate enquiries following our review of contracts, interim financial data, board minutes and reports provided to the trustees; 

- We independently assessed the susceptibility of the charitable company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud or error might occur by meeting with trustees and senior management with the skills and experience necessary to determine the risk factors which they believe expose the charitable company to susceptibility to fraud and error. We also considered the impact of any business targets, the personal financial circumstances of management and staff to create a driver for fraud. We considered the culture and controls that the charitable company has established to address the risks identified and evaluated the effectiveness of processes and procedures to prevent and detect fraud, and how senior management monitors those processes and controls. Where the risk was considered to be higher, we designed then performed audit procedures to address each identified fraud risk. These procedures included, but were not restricted to, testing large and unusual items, journals, and transactions with high estimation uncertainty. These tests were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free from fraud and error; and 

- Based on our audit plan and understanding of the risks that specifically affect the charitable company we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations identified above.  Our procedures involved substantive testing of transactions and appropriate controls, with a focus on transactions in the books of prime entry that have characteristics that may indicate fraud or error. We looked for unusual patterns, large or unusual transactions, weaknesses in the payments system and new supplier transactions based on our understanding of the business; enquiries of trustees and management and the results from previous audit testing; and focused testing, on specific complex areas based on risk.  In addition, we completed procedures to conclude on the other information and disclosures in the trustees’ report and accounts with the requirements of the relevant accounting standards and UK legislation. 

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

We communicate with those charge with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. 

## **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 auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the 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.

## **THE CHAPTER OF THE ORDER OF THE HOLY PARACLETE** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

The Chapter of the Order of the Holy Paraclete is a private unlimited company and has no share capital and is registered in England and Wales. In the event of the company being wound up or dissolved, funds remaining after all debts and liabilities are settled will be transferred to a similar institution with similar charitable objectives. The charity’s registered office and the nature of the charity’s principle activities are as stated on the Report of the Board of Trustees. 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charitable company's memorandum and articles of association,  the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). 

The charitable company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charitable company. 

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes. 

Restricted funds are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the company. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for a specific purpose. 

## **1.4 Income** 

Income, including legacies, are included in the statement of financial activities when the company is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. 

Covenanted salaries and pensions are received under deeds of covenant from members of The Chapter of the Order of the Holy Paraclete and are stated inclusive of income tax but net of any deductions for social security payments and contributions to occupational pension schemes. 

Receipts of property, investments or other gifts in kind are included at market value. 

## **1.5 Expenditure** 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in pursuit of its charitable objects. 

Direct costs consist of all expenditure directly relating to the objects of the Chapter. Support costs have been allocated in full to direct costs. 

Mission and charitable grants payable are charged in the period when the grant is given. 

Raising funds comprise those costs associated with attracting donations and legacies, the costs of trading for fundraising purposes including the costs incurred by the trading subsidiary and investment management fees. 

Governance costs include expenditure on general administration, and management and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

## **THE CHAPTER OF THE ORDER OF THE HOLY PARACLETE** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets** 

Prior to 1 September 1996 all capital expenditure was written off as incurred. As at that date the trustees included material fixed assets at cost less notional depreciation in the balance sheet except for freehold property which was valued at current market value. Subsequent acquisitions or improvements are capitalised at cost subject to a de minimis figure of £500. 

Depreciation is calculated by the straight line method to write off the cost/value, less anticipated residual value over the expected useful lives of assets as follows: 

Freehold property 2% and 5% Fixtures, fittings and equipment 20% Motor vehicles 25% 

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities. 

Depreciation is not charged until the asset is ready for use. 

## **1.7 Fixed asset investments** 

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date.  Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. 

## **1.8 Impairment of fixed assets** 

At each reporting end date, the charitable company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). 

## **1.9 Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks. 

## **1.10 Financial instruments** 

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments.  Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. 

## _**Basic financial assets**_ 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid at the year end. 

## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## **1.11 Taxation** 

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events have occurred at that date that will result in an obligation to pay more, or a right to pay less or to receive more tax, with the following exceptions: 

Provision is made for tax on gains arising from the revaluation (and similar fair value adjustments) of fixed assets, and gains on disposal of fixed assets that have been rolled over into replacement assets, only to the extent that, at the balance sheet date, there is a binding agreement to dispose of the assets concerned. However, no provision is made where, on the basis of all available evidence at the balance sheet date, it is more likely than not that the taxable gain will be rolled over into replacement assets and charged to tax only where the replacement assets are sold. 

Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that the directors consider that it is more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be deducted. 

Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which timing differences reverse, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. 

## **1.12 Leases** 

Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profits on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. 

## **1.13 Pension costs** 

Chapter of the Order of the Holy Paraclete (The) Unlimited contributes to defined contribution pension schemes including individual personal pensions. The assets of the schemes are held separately from those of the charity. Pension costs charged in the Statement of Financial Activities represent the contributions payable by the charity in the year. 

## **1.14 Redundancy costs** 

Redundancy costs are recognised as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022**_ 

## **22 Related party transactions** 

The trustees of the charitable company are also members of the Chapter and as such have taken vows of poverty under which they have renounced all personal rights to income and capital. The company provides for the essential needs of all members of the Chapter. The living costs of the seven trustees who served during the year are therefore borne by the company. 

All transactions involving organisations in which a trustee has an interest are conducted at arm’s length and in accordance with the charity’s normal financial procedures. 

The charitable work at St Oswald's was taken on by St Oswald's Community (a newly registered CIO) from October 2020 with a tenancy at will in place between the charity and the CIO. Sister J M Carter is also a trustee of St Oswald's Community. During the year some costs were paid for by the Chapter and reimbursed from St Oswald's Community.  The balance due to the Chapter at 30 June 2022 was £157 (2021: £1,506). 

The lease is still being negotiated with St Oswald's Community.
