Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022
1. Accounting policies
Set out below are the principal accounting policies which have been adopted in the compilation of the Receipts
and Payments Account and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities
(a) Receipts and Payments Account
All items of income and expenditure included within the Receipts and Payments Account have been
accounted for on a cash receipts basis.
{b) Statement of Assets and Liabilities
{i)-Assets retained.for the"Parisli's own-use
The assets of the Parish, retsined for its own use comprise,
Church Building and Graveyard
Parish Centre
Glebe House
Fixtures and fittings
The Church Building and Graveyard are deemed to be Heritage assets as defined by the Charities
SORP (FRS102)
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
Is not included in the statement of assets and liabilities as it was built at a time when there were no
reliable records of construction costs and a valuation of such a building lacks sufficient reliability. As
such, no depreciation has been provided on the parish centre buildings as the current estimated
residual value is not less than the carrying value and the remaining useful life currently exceeds 50
years.
The Glebe House is recognised at deemed cost, being the estimated fair valuation of the property for
rates purposes. No depreciation has been provided on the glebe house as the current estimated
residual value is not less than the carrying value and the remaining useful life currently exceeds 50
years.
Fixtures and Fittings are recognised at cost and are depreciated on a straight- line basis over a period
of 5 years, unless deemed immaterial and as such charged direct to the receipts and payments
account.
ii) Investments
Fixed asset investments comprising investment properties, investments in equities (ordinary shares}
and investment in RCBICIT Unit Trusts are initially recorded at cost and are then subsequently stated
at fair value at each year end date. Investments in unquoted investments are recorded at cost and are
assessed annually for impairment.
