Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023
Accounting policies
Set out below are 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 asset5 of the Parish, retained for its own use comprise:_
Church Building and Graveyard
Parish Centre
Glebe House
The Church Building and Graveyard are deemed to be Heritage assets as defined by the
Charities SORP IFRS1021.
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 rebuilt in 2000. There are no reliable records of the cost of this construction and
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.
Glebe House is recognised at the current market value of £350,000, based on the formal
valuation carried out by Hannath Estate Agents in September 2022. 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.
Investments
Fixed asset investments comprising investment in RCB Unit Trusts are initially recorded at cost
and are then subsequently stated at fair value at each year end date.
