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 Parish’s own use
The assets of the Parish, retained for its own use comprise:-
-Church Building and Graveyard
-
Parish Centre
-
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.
There are no reliable records of the Parish Centre’s cost of construction and a valuation approach for such a building lacks sufficient reliability. As a result this building is not recognised in the parish statement of assets and liabilities.
Fixtures and Fittings are deemed to be recognised if greater than £5,000 in value.
(II) Investments
Fixed asset investments comprising investment in RCB/CIT Unit Trusts are initially recorded at cost and are then subsequently stated at fair value at each year end date.
