The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the parish's constitution, the Charities Act 2008 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 (FRS 102)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016)
Objectives and activities
The charitable purpose of the Church of Ireland is the advancement of religion.
The principal function of Derriaghy Parish is to support the advancement of the Christian religion by promoting, through the work of Derriaghy Parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. Being open to and engaging with society as a whole and offering support for those needing help are fundamental to the practical delivery of the benefits of Christianity.
As a result of activity in the pursuit of the advancement of the Christian religion, Derriaghy Parish has custody of property and of records, materials and artefacts of significance to the cultural and religious heritage, the maintenance of which is undertaken by the Select Vestry of Derriaghy Parish.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the parish should undertake.
Achievements and performance
The parish has given careful consideration to the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland’s guidance on public benefit to ensure that the undertakings entered into during the year have helped to achieve the parish’s objectives and activities, as well as providing public benefit. The following sets out the Achievements, Performance and Public Benefit in 2022.
All the functions of the parish relate to the advancement of religion through holding regular worship, and caring for parishioners and others in the local community.
The arrangements for Sunday worship in Derriaghy Parish are as follows. A decrease in numbers and with regard to the aging populace it was also felt that the number of evening services should be reduced and is now as announced.
In 2022 we celebrated the parish church (Christ Church) 150th Anniversary and also rededicated the church refurbished spire and rose window.
In December 2022 we held a cross community Christmas Tree festival in the church. With contributions from all the organisations within the parish, also from the local community schools and education authority youth group.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
Pastoral visiting takes place throughout the year, by the Rector and by those parishioners who volunteer to take part in it. Visiting takes place in people’s homes or in sheltered dwellings (nursing homes, residential homes etc.) and also in hospitals and hospices. Parishioners would also be visited at times of bereavement, as well as at times of planning for baptisms, weddings etc. Parishioners or others may contact the Rector to request pastoral counselling. The Rector would also witness applications for passports, driving licenses etc., from time to time, as requested, not only for parishioners but also for other members of the community known to him.
Parish organisations meeting on parish premises are as follows: Mothers’ Union, Bible study class, the Derriaghy branch of the Women’s Institute also meets on parish premises. Scouts, Cubs, Beavers, Squirrels, education authority youth group meet every Thursday evening, pilates classes meet twice a week. There is also an adult choir in each church. These organisations are open to members of the community generally.
Public Benefit
The expression of the precepts of the Christian religion through engagement with the general public, and in particular with the disadvantaged, the sick, the elderly and the young, is a public benefit, which activities such as those described above relate to.
This can be measured and evidenced through increased social integration and pastoral care delivered at the point of need. The direct benefit of participation in Church life includes the enjoyment of public worship and the giving and receiving of pastoral ministry, improved understanding of the values relating to civic engagement, community cohesion and providing a bridge between diverse groups, as well as improved educational outcomes through the Church’s ministry of teaching. The beneficiaries are the general public, and the public valuation of the benefits can be evidenced through attendance at public worship, participation in Church governance and willingness to support through contributions the continuing witness of the Church. The wider benefit to the public will outweigh any detriment arising in the course of Christian outreach. Any private benefit arising out of the fulfilment of our Christian ministry, to lay staff, is essential to the fulfilment of the purpose of the advancement of religion. No Trustee receives remuneration, reward or other private benefit for carrying out their Trustee responsibility. The principal function of the Parish is to support the advancement of the Christian religion by promoting through the work of the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. Being open to and engaging with society as a whole, and offering support for those needing help is fundamental to the practical delivery of the tenets of Christianity. As a result of activity in pursuit of the advancement of the Christian religion, the parish has custody of a large body of records, materials and artefacts of significance to the cultural heritage, the maintenance of which is undertaken by the parish as a secondary charitable purpose. The parish also has custody of and responsibility for the maintenance of several buildings. One of these is the parish Church, Christ Church, Derriaghy, a Grade A listed building, opened for worship in 1872. The provision of access to records, public enjoyment of cultural and historic buildings and artefacts, such as church plate, furnishings and materials, as well as an overall improved appreciation of longstanding Christian heritage, is a public benefit. This is demonstrated through ongoing provision of access to records and the use made of these records in, for example, research and genealogy, through conservation efforts in respect of records, property and artefacts, and the subsequent and continued requests for access to use of our materials by wider society. There is no harm arising from the purpose. The beneficiaries are the general public. No private benefit is received by trustees fulfilling their trustee responsibilities in respect of these records, buildings or artefacts, but in the course of conservation, and to make them accessible to the public, the engagement of professional staff and services is essential but incidental to the fulfilment of the purpose.
Financial review
Total income for the year was £144,254 (2021: £114,699) with total expenditure of £146,947 (2021: £147,197), some investments were revalued providing a loss of £1,442 giving an overall deficit being incurred of £6,835 (2021: £30,138).
Funds held in the Parish bank accounts at the year end totalled £261,930 (2021: £262,322).
It is the policy of the parish that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the parish’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF LISBURN/DERRIAGHY/CHRIST CHURCH & ST.ANDREW'S/CONNOR/CHURCH OF IRELAND
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Lisburn/Derriaghy/Christ Church & St.Andrew's/ Connor/Church of Ireland (the parish) for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the parish you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 (the 2008 Act)..
I report in respect of my examination of the parish’s financial statements carried out under section 65 of the 2008 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act 2008.
Independent examiner's statement
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
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 parish as required by section 63 of the 2008 Act; or
-
2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Lisburn/Derriaghy/Christ Church & St.Andrew's/Connor/Church of Ireland is a a member of the Church of Ireland.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the parish's constitution, 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 (FRS 102)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The parish is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The parish has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the parish. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. 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 parish 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.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the parish.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the parish is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the parish has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the parish has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

(Continued)
1.5 Expenditure
Expenses are recognised when the parish is legally entitled to pay them after any performance conditions have been met and the amounts can be measured reliably.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Computers
33.33% straight line
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.
1.7 Investment properties
Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in profit or loss.
1.8 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.
1.9 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the parish 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).
1.10 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.11 Financial instruments
The parish has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the parish's balance sheet when the parish becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the parish’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.12 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the parish is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the parish’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Christ Church Building, Graveyard and Quin Hall are deemed to be Heritage assets as defined by the Charities SORP (FRS102). Christ Church was built in 1872 and is a Grade “A” listed Heritage building. The Graveyard has been in known use from around the 17[th] Century, but it is thought that interments precede this date. The Quin Hall located in the graveyard dates from 1956 and St. Andrew’s Church was built in 1957.
These Heritage assets are not included in the statement of assets and liabilities as information on the cost or valuation is not available and such information cannot be obtained at a cost commensurate with the benefit to the users of the accounts and to the Parish.
The Parish Centre was built 1965. There are no reliable records of the cost of this construction and the valuation approach for such a building lacks sufficient reliability. As a result this building is not recognised in the Parish Balance Sheet.
The Glebe House is recognised at construction cost of the property at 1992. No depreciation has been provided on the Glebe House as the current estimated residual value is not less than its carrying value and the remaining useful life currently exceeds 50 years.
The Curate’s Bungalow at St Andrew’s was constructed in 1961 and is vested in the RCB. As there are no reliable cost of construction the deemed cost is based on the market value.
The Old Principal’s House - 53 was built in the late 1800s. As there are no reliable cost of construction the deemed cost is based on the rateable value.
The Old Teacher’s House - 55 was built in the late 1800s. As there are no reliable cost of construction the deemed cost is based on the rateable value.
Glebe Land the value has been based on regional agricultural land costs and is vested in the RCB. See statement of Assets & Liabilities.
Fixtures and Fittings are recognised at cost and are depreciated on a straight line basis over a period of 5 to 20 years dependent on type of asset. Those Fixtures and Fittings which can appreciate in value will be valued at current market valuation. The pipe organ in Christ Church, a grade “A” listed building, has not been included in the fixtures and fittings as it is considered to be an integral part of the Church building. The Parish has set a minimum threshold of cost for an item to be considered to be capitalised as a fixed asset of not less than £1,000.
