26. Unified Statement of Connexional Finances<br />

of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2005), UK<br />

Accounting Standards and the Charities Act 2011.<br />

b) Basis of preparation<br />

The entities included in these accounts have been consolidated based on the view<br />

of the Council of the degree of control which it exercises over the entities concerned,<br />

which is constantly under review.<br />

c) Basis of consolidation<br />

The consolidation principles applied are based on Financial Reporting Standard<br />

(FRS) 2 and SORP 2005 which require consolidation of subsidiary undertakings as<br />

identified by the measure of control exercised. Control can be determined in the<br />

context of voting rights and/or the exercise of dominant influence over the Board or<br />

activities of the subsidiary undertaking.<br />

All of the entities listed below are consolidated on the grounds that the <strong>Methodist</strong><br />

<strong>Conference</strong> has the right to exercise dominant influence, and this influence is<br />

demonstrated in a number of ways, but mainly through the selection of the trustees<br />

on the boards of these entities.<br />

All the entities which are separately registered as charities, together with their wholly<br />

owned trading subsidiaries, have been consolidated as subsidiaries on a line by line<br />

basis in accordance with FRS2 and SORP 2005.<br />

Activities managed or administered by the Connexional Team (hereafter referred to<br />

as the Connexional Funds)<br />
