Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payinents lo third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and ihe amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed asseis, less capital grant received and their estimated residual value over expected useful lives on the following basis:. Freehold property Fixtures, fittings and equipment The freehold property is noi depreciated since it is the opinion of the Management Board that il's market value is in excess of its book value. 11 is a requirement from the Companies Act 2006 and FRS102 to charge depreciation on all tangible fixed assets. but in the opinion of the management board, the valuation as stated provides a true and fair view.
