THE KYTE CHARITABLE TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025
1 ~~.~~ Accounting policies
1 ~~.~~ 1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ~~-~~ Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 ~~.~~
The Kyte Charitable Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102 ~~.~~
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy ~~.~~
1.2 Going concern
The Charity has minimal fixed costs, with the main source of expenditure being grants made to institutions which can be made at the discretion of the Trustees ~~.~~ Furthermore, the Charity had a healthy cash balance at the year end. The Trustees therefore consider that based on the circumstances existing at the date of signature of the accounts the operations of the charity are not likely to be affected in a material manner by the current Coronavirus outbreak and the accounts have therefore been presented on a going concern basis ~~.~~
1.3 Income
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
1 ~~.~~ 4 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably ~~.~~ 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 activity ~~.~~ Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity ~~.~~ Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use ~~.~~ Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs ~~.~~
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled ~~.~~ Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT ~~.~~

1 ~~.~~ Accounting policies (continued)
1.5 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due ~~.~~
1 ~~.~~ 6 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short ~~-~~ term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
1 ~~.~~ 7 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably ~~.~~
Liabilities 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 of the amounts required to settle the obligation ~~.~~ Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre ~~-~~ tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.
1 ~~.~~ 8 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes ~~.~~
