## **THE FEDERATION OF EUROPEAN MICROBIOLOGICAL SOCIETIES (A company limited by guarantee)** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)** 

## **1.7 TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION** 

The charity has a policy of not capitalising portable computer equipment or items where the original cost is less than €1,500 and they are fully written off in the year of purchase. 

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost. 

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives on the following basis: 

Office equipment 25% straight line 

## **1.8 INVESTMENTS** 

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as 'Gains/(Losses) on investments' in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

## **1.9 OPERATING LEASES** 

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the statement of financial activities on a straight line basis over the lease term. 

## **1.10 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. 

## **1.11 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.
