Our activities are open to all and are free at the point of use. There are no fees charged. Our charity is funded by voluntary donations and contributions.

## **Markethill/Mullabrack, St Johns, Armagh, Church of Ireland Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023**
## **1. Accounting policies**
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
## **a) Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis 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 (FRS 102) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)).
The Parish meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost and transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
## **b) Preparation of accounts on a going concern basis**
The Parish generally meets its day to day working capital requirements from its annual income. The Trustees have obtained and reviewed cash flow forecasts for the coming year and based on these are satisfied that the Parish has resources to provide a reasonable expectation that it can continue to meet its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future. Therefore these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
## **c) Income**
Plate Collections, Weekly Envelopes and Graveyard income are accounted for on a cash receipts basis as the amount is collected.
Income arising from the rental of Parish Centre facilities to third parties is recognised when the parish has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, are recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
Legacies are included within income under either unrestricted or restricted funds according to the terms under which the donation is made and when the amount can be quantified with reasonable certainty. Donations and gifts in kind are brought into the accounts at their fair value to the Parish.
## **d) Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
11
## **Markethill/Mullabrack, St Johns, Armagh, Church of Ireland Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023**
## **1. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **e) Tangible assets**
The assets of the Parish comprise: -
- Church Buildings x 2 and Graveyard
- Parish Centre
- Glebe House
- Residential Investment property
- • Fixtures and fittings
The Church Buildings and Graveyard are deemed to be Heritage assets as defined by the Charities SORP (FRS102) 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 cost commensurate with the benefit to the users of the accounts and to the parish.
The Parish Centre is recognised at cost of construction / acquisition. No depreciation has been provided on the parish centre buildings as the current estimated residual value is not less than its carrying value and the remaining useful life currently exceeds 50 years.
The Glebe House is recognised at cost / deemed cost, being the estimated fair value of the property at 31 December 2023. 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.
A residential investment property was purchased in 2019 at a cost of £155,000. No depreciation has been provided on the house as the current estimated residual value is not less than its 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 10 years. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. The effect of any change is accounted for prospectively.
Tangible assets are derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected. On disposal, the difference between the new disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in the statement of financial activities and included in ‘Other operating (losses)/gains’.
## **f) Investments**
Fixed asset investments comprising investment properties, investments in equities and investment in RCB/CIT Unit Trusts are initially recorded at cost and are then subsequently stated at fair value at each balance sheet date. Investments in unquoted investments are recorded at cost and are assessed annually for impairment. Unrealised gains and losses represent the difference between the fair value at the beginning and end of the financial year or, if purchased in the year, the difference between cost and fair value at the end of the year. Realised gains and losses represent the difference between the proceeds on disposal and the fair value at the start of the year or cost if purchased in the year. Both realised and unrealised gains and losses in investments are reported within “Net Gains/(Losses) on Investments” within the Statement of Financial Activities.
## **g) Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within Creditors Amounts falling due within 1 year.

## **Markethill/Mullabrack, St Johns, Armagh, Church of Ireland Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 (continued)**
## **1. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **h) Financial instruments**
The Parish only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction price and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
## **i) Funds**
Funds are classified as either restricted funds 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 are held generally on the basis that the original capital sum is not reduced, and the income there from is used for the purpose defined in accordance with the objects of the Parish. However the capital sum may still be used at the discretion of the Select Vestry.
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.
## **2. Critical accounting 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 assumptions which may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
