Report of the Diocesan Council for the year ended 31 December 2024
The Diocesan Council, who are the Tn]stees for charitable purposes, presents its report and audited annual
financial statements for the Diocese for the year ended 31 December 2024. The Council has adopted the
provisions of the Ch￿ltieS Acts ￿OrthCrll ThEland) 2008 and 2013 and Accounting and Reporting by
Charities.. Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing theii. financi&l statements
in accordance with the Financial Reportin8 Standard appli¢abl¢ in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS
102} (effective January 2015).
Objectives and activities
The objectives and activities of the Diocesan Col￿clI, which are unchanged from last year, are principally
to manage certaill aftairs in relation to the cures in its arca of operation, to assist with the strengthening
and encouragement of those Cures and other supporting activities which include fjnancial and
administration services to achi¢ve these objectives.
The Trustees are aware of the Charity ConllTAission's guidance on public benefit in The Advancement of
Religion for th¢ Public Benefit and have had regard to it in their administrdtion of the Diocese, We believe
that by promoting the work of the Church of treland in the Diocese of Connor w¢ help to promote the
whole mission of the Church (pastordl, evangelistic, social and ecum¢nical) more effectively, both in the
Diocese &s a whole and in its individual paj'ishes, and that this provides a benefit to the public by:
-providing facilities for public worship) pastoral care and SPiTitllal, tnoral and intellectual development,
both for our members and for anyone who wishes to benefit from what th¢ Church offers. and
-promoting Christian values, l￿d 8¢rvice by rnembers of the Church in And to their communities, to the
benefit of individuals and society as a whole.
Achievements and performance
In the year under review, the financial position of the I)ioc¢sc was fairly static, with only a marginal
increase. Expenditur¢ 8urpa55ed income by £104,447 but this was offset by a ris¢ in investments of
£106,419.
Fair Share income is still the larg¢st stream of income individually at 34.70/& of overall income in 2024
(2023: 34.4/0), but clerical costs being collected from parishe8 continues to rise. Although the Clergy
Pension Scheme Income has reduced in 2024 to 28.6 /0 of overnll income (2023: 33.2/0), therc continues
to be a rise in Stipends and allowances Income, as more cR¢rics move onto central payroll (through the
RCB). In 2024 this was 19.6V/o of overall income (2023: 15.30/0).
Don&tion8, External Grants, Investment Income and Other Income accounted for 11.80/0 of overnll income
(2023., 12.40/0).
The valu¢ of investments held within asscts saw a significant increase during 2024, with stocli markets
continuing to recover with strong growth.
Overall, the Diocesan Funds have increased from £4,225,051 in 2023 to £4,226,499 in 2024.
The review of the parish banding system which was cattied out in 2023 was reported to Diocesan Council
in 2024, and thi8 indicated that a tew parishes should be rebanded. It was decided that this would not occur
until a parish became vacant.
A register of Tru8tee'8 interests have now been gathered.

Expenditure for the Diocesan Development programrne in¢re88ed to £243,036 (2023; £230,826).
This year the Diocesan Council has again included a significant provision for doubtful debts. The Council
would be hopeful to collect all monies due, but prudenc¢ siiggests that provision shoiild be made in
recognttion that there may be diffi¢ulties in collecting certam items. The provision made for debtors in
2024 is £353,411 (2023: £313,620).
Our creditors this year increa8¢d from £83,577 in 2023 to £91,762 in 2024.
Golng concern
The Diocesan Council has reviewed its flnancial prnjections and 18 satisfied that adequate funding is in
place to ensure the Dioc¢s¢ CP4n continue its operations and that the financial 8tat¢ments for the year ended
31st December 2024 can be si￿1¢d off as a going concern.
Structure? governance and management
The Dioccse of CoDnor was established in its present form by Act of the General Synod in 1945 and is
regulated by General Synod of the Chiwch of Ireland and its own diocesan iegulations, &uthority for both
stem from the provisions of the Irish Church Act 1869.
••
The Diocesan Council is a body elected by the Diocesan Synod which meets to consider and regulate the
financial and other matters of the Diocese about five times per annum. Day to day work is delegated to
tbe administriitive staff with oversight given to the Diocesan Finance Committce. This committee is
scheduled to meot five or six times pcr annum And talces a detailed look at all Diocesan flnancial mattdB.
Newly elected members will receive Trustee training from the RCB.
Prlllclpal risks
The Dio¢esan Council in the nornial couise of its oversight of activities has given due consideration to the
principal risks that it faces, in particular those related to the long tem op¢rational and fllwicial well-being
of the Diocese of Connor. Whilst keeping matLers under review, the Diocesan Council is satisfied that
systems are in pla¢¢ to mitigate major risks. Investment and financial risks are primarily under the purview
of the Diocesan Fillance Committee and the trnstee bodies to whoin the funds have been elltTUSted. Thc
Diooesan Financc Committe¢ had requested the Greation of a formal Risk Rcgister, tbis was agreed by the
Diocesan Council presented at the February 2018 meeting and was reviewed in November 2020. A thrther
review occurred during 2022 and was adopted by Diocesan Council at its Novcjnber 2022 meeting.

Reserves polley
The Diocesan Council generally raises Such ￿ndS from the parishes in its care as are required to meet
operational requirem¢nts, In addition, capitul and revenue reserves are maintained under designated funds
which are operationally controlled by the Diocesan Council, but which &re under the trustee care of th¢
Representative Church Body and Church of Ir¢land Trustees. As such, the Diocesan Council does not seek
to maintain a specific ratio of re8c￿eS to, for example, revenue requirements, but it does seck both to
protect its operational integrity and limit tb¢ call on p￿0¢hial resources through careful use of all fullds
under its control.
Th¢ l¢v¢l of unrestricted reserves at 31 December 2024 were £1,111,320 and the level of restricted r¢serves
were £3,115,179.
Inyestments
All investments are held upon trust by either the Church of Ircland Trustees or the Representative Church
Body, both are bodies corporate witli full trLiSt and investment powers. In almost all cases, the capital
invested is held as a permanent endowment for dioc¢san funds and only the income is available for the
revenue expenditure by th¢ Diocesan Council.
Both bodies manage their investments under professional advis¢ment to protect the long-temi capital and
income requirements of the dioce8e8) parishe8, trnsts etc.
Church of Ire]and House
Church of Ireland House has been held by a Declaration of Trust dated November 1994, between Church
of Ireland Trnstees and the Joint Committee of the Dioces¢s of Down and Dromore and Connor, Legal
advice has shown that Church of Ireland House in Belfast is owned by the Joint Committee on behalf of
the two Dioceses. Church of Ir¢land House was sold on the 31 July 2023, the funds of which are now held

Council is aititled to certain tax exemptioJs on income and profits from activities carried on in fi￿th¢r￿ice

Connor
Opinion
We have audited the fmancial statements of the Diocese of Connor (the 'Ch￿ltY,) for the yeaT ended 31
Dec¢tnb¢r 2024 which comprise the Stat¢tn¢nt of f￿ancIal activiti¢s, the Balance sheeL and notes to the

The other Inforn￿tiOn compi"ise8 th¢ infonnation included in the annual reporl other than the finanoial

explicitly stated in OLW repor¢ we do not express any fonn of assurance con¢lusioll thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to irad the other information
and, iii doing so, consider whether the other inforn]ation is matsrially inconsistent with the financial
statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstatcd. If w¢
identify such material inconsistenci¢s or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine
whether there is a material n]isstatement in the financial statements or a mat¢ri&l misstatement of the other
infomiation. If, based on the worl< we have p¢rforn]ed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement
of this other infornratioll, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard,

fair view, and for guch intcrnal control as the Trnstces determine is necessary to enable the preparation of
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether du¢ to fraud or error.
In preparing the financi￿ statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity's abiEity to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters r¢latcd to going con¢¢rn and using th¢ going
¢on¢¢rn basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations,

Report of the Independent auditors to the Diocesan Council of the Diocese of
Connor (eont'd)
Audltor's responsibilities for the audit of the finanelal statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable &ssurance about whether the fmancial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement. whetber due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted
in ac¢ordan¢¢ with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregat¢, they could
reasonably be exp¢cted to influenc¢ the economic decisions of 1￿CrS taken on the basis of these fmancial
statements,
Irregu1￿lt1eS, including fraud, are instances of non-complianc¢ with laws and regulations. We d¢sign
ProC￿UreS in line with our responsibilities, outlined alx)ve, to detect material tnisgtutements in respect of
i￿¢gUlarItieS, includllig fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of d¢tecting irregularitie8,
including fraud is detailed below.
The obj¢ctives of our audit in respect of fraud, are to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement
of the financial statements due to frdud. to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the
assessed risks of material misstat¢m¢llt due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate
responses to those assessed risks. and to respond appropriatcly to instances of fraud or suspected fraud
identified during the aiidit. However, the piimary responsibility for the pr¢v¢lltion and detection of fraud
rests with both managemcnt and those charged with governance of tbe Charity.
Our approach was as follows:
We obtained an unde￿landing of the legal and regiilatory requirements applicable to the Charity
and coi]sidered that the most significant are the Charities Acts (Northern Ireland} 2008 and 2013,
Lhe Charity SORP, and UK fmancial reporting standards as issued by the Financial Reporting
Council.
W¢ obtained an understanding of how the Charity complies with these rcquirements by discus8ions
with management and those charged with governance.
We asscs8ed the risk of material mis8tatement of the financial statcments, including the risk of
material misstatement due to fraud and how it might occur, by holding discussions with
Inanagement and those charged with govemance.
We inquired of management and those charged with governance as to any lfflown instances of non-
compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations.
Based on this undeManding, we designed specific apprO￿late audit procedures to idcntify
instances of non-compliance with laws and ￿gUlations. This included making enquirics of
management and those charged with governance and obtaining additional corroborative evidence
s required.

Report of the independent Auditors to the Diocesan Council of the Diocese of

Explanation as to what extent the audit was ¢onsidered ¢&pable of detecting Irregularities, Including
fraud
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS (UK) we exercise professiona] judgement and maintain
professional scepticism tl]roughout th¢ audit. We al80:
Identify and assess the risks of materi&l misstatcmellt of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, d¢sign and perforn] aiidit procedures responsiv¢ to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sutTicient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not
detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error,
as frdud may involve Collusio￿ forgery, intentional omissions, misTores¢ntations, or the override
of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that ar¢ appropriat¢ in the circumstan¢¢s, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Charity's internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies ￿Sed and die reasonablenesg of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the Trustees.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the TrusteC8' use of the going concern basis of accounting an
based on the audit evidence obtsined, whether a material unc¢rtainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Charity's ability to continue a8 a going concern.
If we ronclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's
report to the related di8cI(F8ures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate,
to modify our opinion. Our conclusions al'e based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of
our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Charity to cease to
Continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the ov¢rall presentation, structure and content of the financial statetn¢nts, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial statementg represent the underlying transactions and events
in a manner that achieves fair ptts¢ntation.
We communicate with those charged with goven]ance regaTding, among other matters, Ihc planned scope
and timing of the audit and SIgn￿lCant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal
control that we identify d￿ing our audit,
Use of our repoTt
This report is made solely to the Charity's Trnstecs, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 8 of
Ihc Chariti¢B Acts (Northei'n Ireland) 2008 and 2013. Our audit worlc has been iindertaken so that we might
state to the Charity's Trustees those matters we are r¢quir¢d to state to them in an auditor's r¢port and for
no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitt¢d by law, we do not ￿cept or assume responsibility to any
palty other than the Charity and Charity's Truste¢s as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the

objectives of the Diocese in accordance with the regulations that govcTTh the Diocesan Council.
Restricted funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is
restricted by the funder to that area or purpose,
Investments

All investments have been valued at marl<et value. The market value disclosed in Note 15 is based on the
middle market PriCC8 ruling at th¢ close of business on 31 December 2024. Ally realised profits or losses,
arising on fixed asset investments are talc¢ll directly to the capital ￿erVe. Profits or losses arc calculatcd
on the average cost basis.

Statement of accounting policles (cont'd}
Going concern
At the time of approving the financial stat¢ments, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the

Trust¢es continue to adopt the going concern b&sis of accounting in preparing th¢ financial Statements.
Debtors

Credltoys and provAsion$
Creditors and provisions are recognised where th¢ Charity has a present obligation resulting from a past
event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third paty and the amount due to settle the
obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally rccognlsed at their
s¢ttlement amount after allowing tor any tra(k discounts due.
Fln&nclal Instruments
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial
instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently
mca8ured at their settlement value with the exception of banlc loans which are Subsequently measured at
amortised cost using th¢ effective interest method.
