CUMBERLAND AREA QUAKER MEETING
Financial health, per its FY2023 accounts
The accounts state that total income for 2023 was £108,387 against total expenditure of £101,452, resulting in a net increase in funds of £16,482. The trustees report that the overall charity has reasonably healthy reserves, although they note that local meeting finances remain a cause for concern due to declining membership and rising maintenance costs.
What the accounts disclose
“The Trust held functional properties comprising meeting houses and burial grounds which were acquired or constructed several centuries ago. As such, their historic cost is unknown and they have never been valued for balance sheet purposes. These assets have been included in the accounts at nil value, resulting in their value being understated in the balance sheet. This matter gives me reasonable cause to believe that in this respect the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of the Act.” — page 28
