In common with all audits under ISAS IUKI, we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management over-ride. We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the organisation operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disc105ures in the financial statements.

Goln8 concern At the time of approving the linanci31 statements. the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the organisation has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the Trustees continue to adopt the 8oin8 concern basis of accounting in preparing the linancial statements. Income Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds. any performance conditions attached to the itemls) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably.

Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate. and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

Charitable activities include expenditure associated with the provision of services at the visitors, centres and include both the direct C05t5 and support costs relating to these activitie5. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories either directly where identifiable or on a basis pro-rata with income. Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading. Funds structure Restricted funds are funds subject to specific restrictive conditions imposed by the donor or by the purpose of the contract / monies received. The purpose and use of restricted funds is set out in note 24 to the tinancial statements. General funds are unrestricted funds, which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objective5 of the charity. Designated funds are funds which have been allocated or designated for specitic purposes by the charity out of unrestricted funds. Tangible fixed assets All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. The charity operates a £l,CW capitalisation policy and items will not be c3Pltalised under this de-minimis limit.
