Basis of preparation Under FRS 102 assets and liabilities are initially recognized at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. Going concern The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concem. Income and endowments With the exception of accounting policies detailed below, all income is recognized once the charity has entitl¢ment to the income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Donations and legacies Donations are recognized when the Trust has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of perfonnance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognized until either those conditions are LlY met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity, and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. Legacy gifts are recognized on a case-by-case basis following the granting of probate when the administratorlexecutor for the estate has communicated in writing both th¢ amount and the settlement date. Investment income Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is nornially upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. Expenditure All expenditure is recognized once th¢re is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the atnount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregates siTnilar costs to that category. Page 6
