What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: sufficient funds to meet foreseeable requests from the Diocese for its work and ministry (held: £3.0m)
“The Trustees' reserves policy is to ensure that they hold sufficient funds to meet foreseeable requests from the Diocese for its work and ministry.” — page 3
Per its FY2023 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Related-party transaction: The document states 'There were no other related party transactions during the year that require disclosure' and 'None of the Trustees were paid any remuneration'. The administration charge to Church Mission Society is a service fee, not explicitly disclosed as a related party transaction in the specific note 8 which lists 'Amount due from Church Mission Society' as a debtor, but note 5 lists 'charge payable to Church Mission Society' under Support and Governance. However, Note 8 explicitly lists 'Amount due from Church Mission Society' as a debtor. Note 5 lists 'charge payable to Church Mission Society' as an expense. The prompt asks for 'disclosed related-party transactions'. Note 8 says 'None of the Trustees were paid... There were no other related party transactions...'. This implies the CMS relationship might not be flagged as a 'related party transaction' in the specific note 8 context, or is considered arm's length/admin. Given the strict rule 'NEVER guess', and Note 8 explicitly says 'no other related party transactions', I will list none to be safe, or check if CMS is a related party. CMS is the administrator. Usually, if not disclosed in Note 8, it's not a 'related party transaction' for the purpose of that specific disclosure note. I will set to empty array.
