Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each adivity.

Shared costs which contribute to more than one actlvity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned be￿een those activilies on a basis consistent with, the use of resources.

Liabililies are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate ofthe amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on Ihe present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific lo the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost. 2.9 Flnanclal Instruments The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities ol a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments.
