Statement of Com
liance
The financlal statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 IFRS 1021, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the
United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021, the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008, The Charities (Accounts
and Reports) Regulations INorthern Ireland) 2015 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from l January
2015.
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis under the historical cost convention,
modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the
functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £1.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These
policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
bl Basis of financial statements
As the total income of the congregation is less than £250,000 the Trustees have elected in accordance with the provisions
In The Charities (Accounts and Reports Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015 to prepare its accounts on a receipts and
payments basis.

resources to provide a reasonable expectation that it can continue to meet its financial obligations as they fall due for

Year ended 31 December 2023
d) Tangible assets
The assets of the Parish compri5e-_
Church Building and Grounds
Parish Hall
Rectory
The Church Building and Grounds are deemed to be Heritage assets as defined by the Charities SORP IFR51021. These
Heritage assets are not included on the balance sheet as information on the cost or valuation is not available and such
information cannot be obtained at a c05t commensurate with the benefit to the users of the accounts and to the parish.
The Parish Hall is attached to the Church building. As a result, this building is not recognised in the parish balance sheet
The Rectory is recognised at its original cost. No depreciation has been provided on the properties as the current estimated
residual value is not less than it's carrying value and the remaining useful life currently exceeds 50 years.
e} Funds
Funds are classified as either restricted fund5 or unrestricted funds, defined as follows.
Restricted funds are funds subject to specific requirements as to their use which may be declared by the donor or with
their authority or created through legal processes, but still within the wider objects of the Parish.
Endowment funds are funds which have been given on the condition that the original capital sum is not reduced, but the
income there from is used for the pu rpose defined in accordance with the objects of the Parish.
Unrestricted funds are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. If parts of
the unrestricted funds are earmarked at the discretion of the trustees for a particular purpose, they are designated as a
separate fund. This designation has an administrative purpose only and does not legally restrict the trustees, discretion to
apply the fund.
fl Critical accountlng Judgements and estimation uncertainty
Estimates and judgments made in the process of preparing the financial statements are continually evaluated and are
based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances. The Trustees do not consider that there are any critical judgments made in applying
the Parish's accounting policies or that there are any critical accounting estimates or assurnptions which may have a
significant risk of causing a material adjustment to carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial
vear.
