INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT Report and Financial Statements 2013 This report on the accounts of the HCC for the year ended 31 December 2013, which are set out on pages 5 to 33 is in respect of an examination carried out under s.43 of the Charities Act 1993. Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner As the members of the PCC you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to issue this report on those accounts in accordance with the terms of Regulation 7 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 1995. Basis of Independent Examiner's Report My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 43(7)(b) of the Act. That examination includes a review of the records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts Independent Examiner's Statement In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the regulations as also contained in the Church Accounting Regulations have not been met; or (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. 4

Report and Financial Statements For the year ended 31st December 2013 ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 1997 together with applicable accounting standards and the Charities SORP. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value. Funds General funds represent the funds of Halewood Church Council (HCC) that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the HCC. The accounts include transactions, assets and liabilities for which the HCC is held responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of Church groups that owe an affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of Church members. Incoming Resources Voluntary income and capital sources Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the HCC. Planned givings receivable under covenant are recognised only when received. Income tax recoverable on covenants or gift aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised. Grants and legacies to the HCC are accounted for as soon as the HCC is notified of its legal entitlement and the likely amount due. Funds raised by the fetes and similar events are accounted for gross. Sales of books and magazines from the church bookstall are accounted for gross. Income from investment Dividends and interest are accounted for when receivable. Tax recoverable on such income is recognised in the same accounting year. Income from property rentals Rental income is recognised when the rent is due. 7
Report and Financial Statements For the year ended 31st December 2013 Gains and losses on investments Realised gains or losses are recognised when investments are sold. Unrealised gains or losses are accounted for on revaluation of investments at 31 December. Fixed Assets Consecrated land and buildings and movable church furnishings Consecrated land and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by s.96(2)(c) of the Charities Act 1993. No value is placed on movable church furnishings held by the churchwardens on special trust for the HCC and which require a faculty for disposal since the PCC considers this to be inalienable property. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings and movable 'church furnishings, relating to maintenance is written off as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities and separately disclosed. During 2007 extensive works were carried out on phase one of e development to the inside of St Nicholas Church. It was agreed by HCC that the costs of the works would be capitalised and depreciated over a fifteen year period. This will also coincide with finance taken out in 2008 which will help to complete phase two of the reordering of the church Land & Buildings- St Nicholas Centre Land and buildings are valued at historic cost. It is the HCC's practice to maintain the Centre in a continual state of sound repair. Accordingly, the HCC considers that the economic life of the Centre and its residual value are such that any depreciation is insignificant and is thus not provided. Other fixtures, fittings and office equipment Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight line basis over 4 years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of 500 or less are written off when the asset is acquired. Investments Investments are valued at market value at 31 December. The valuation has been undertaken by the Central Board of Finance of the Church of England. Current Assets Amounts owing to the HCC at 31 December in respect of fees, rent or other income are shown as debtors less any provision for amounts that may prove uncollectable. Short-term deposits include cash held on deposit either with the CBF Church of England Funds or at the bank. 8
