Accounting Policies
Set out below are the principal accounbng policies which have been adopted in the compilation
of the Re￿IPtS and Payments Account and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
1.1 Receipts and Payments Account
All items of income and expenditure included within the Re￿Ipts and Payments Account have
been accounted for on a cash re￿Ipt basis.
1.2 Statement of Assets and Liabilities
Assets tptained for the Paiysh's own use
The assets of the Parish, retained for its own use comprise of Church Buildings and the Parish
Hall.
The ChurGh Buildings are deemed to be heritsge 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 benefft to the users of the accounts and to the Parish.
The Parish Hall was buift in 1889. There are no reliable records of the cost of this construction
and valuation approach for such a building lacks sufficient reliabilty. As a result this building is
not recognised in the Parish Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Glebe House is recognised at deemed cost. being the estimated fair value of the property at
£404,210. No depreciation has been provided on the Glebe House as the current estimated
residual value is not less than its carrying value and the [￿aIning useful life currently exGeeds
50 years.
1.3 Investments
Investments in RCB and CIT are initialty recorded at cost and then are subsequently stated at fair
value at each year end date.

administrative purpose only and does not legalty restn.ct the Trustees, discretion to apply the funds.
