What the accounts disclose

Governance: The document notes 'substantial damage following break ins' and 'extensive damage, repairs and insurance claim' to heating systems and flooding. While this is a serious incident, the prompt asks for governance flags like 'late filing admitted, regulator engagement, serious incident reports, internal control failures'. The document does not explicitly state 'serious incident report' was filed with the regulator, nor does it admit late filing or internal control failures beyond the damage itself. However, 'serious incident reports' is listed as a flag type. The text says 'The material matters of interest this year are... The church suffered substantial damage...'. This is a disclosure of a serious incident. I will include it as a disclosed serious incident.
“The church suflered substantial damage following break ins in mid-year resulting in extensive damage, repairs and insurance claim.” — page 3
