## **THE BISHOP OF BLACKBURN'S FUND FOR THE WIDOWS AND ORPHANS OF POOR CLERGY** 

## INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT 

_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024_ 

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Bishop Of Blackburn's Fund For The Widows And Orphans Of Poor Clergy ('the charity')** 

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the Trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## Note 1 **Basis of preparation** 

## _**This section should be completed by all charities** ._ 

## **1.1 Basis of accounting** 

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. 

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with: 

the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities •  and with*  preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of •  and with*  Ireland (FRS 102) 

- and with the Charities Act 2011. 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.* 

 

* -Tick as appropriate 

## **1.2  Going concern** 

## _**If there are material uncertainties related to events or conditions that cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, please provide the following details or state "Not applicable", if appropriate:**_ 

An explanation as to those factors that _**The trustees are satisfied that there are no material**_ support the conclusion that the charity is a _**uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue in**_ going concern; _**operational existence in the foreseeable future.**_ Disclosure of any uncertainties that make the _**Not applicable**_ going concern assumption doubtful; Where accounts are not prepared on a going _**Not applicable**_ concern basis, please disclose this fact together with the basis on which the trustees prepared the accounts and the reason why the charity is not regarded as a going concern. 

## **1.3 Change of accounting policy** 

The accounts present a true and fair view and the accounting policies adopted are those outlined in note 2. 

## **1.4 Changes to accounting estimates** 

No changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period (3.46 FRS 102 SORP). 

## **1.5 Material prior year errors** 

The prior year figures have been restated to remove the value of investments that did not legally belong to the charity. They have also been restated to value listed investments previously held at cost at fair value in accordance with the SORP. The result of these adjustments was a decrease in investments of £145,175 and a corresponding decrease in endowment funds at 31 December 2023.

scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held  and maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture.  The depreciation rates and methods used as disclosed in note 9.6.1.4. 

They are valued at cost. 

## **Investments** 

Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost  and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end.  The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. 

Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments 

**Stocks and work in** Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net **progress** realisable value. 

Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock. 

Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract. 

Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity.  Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. 

## **Debtors** 

The charity has has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short term cash commitments as they fall due. 

## **Current asset investments** 

They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments.
