## **2.2 Income**

## **2.3 Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructi�e obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be re�uired in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably� Expenditure is classified by acti�ity� The costs of each acti�ity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs in�ol�ed in undertaking each acti�ity� Direct costs attributable to a single acti�ity are allocated directly to that acti�ity� Shared costs which contribute to more than one acti�ity and support costs which are not attributable to a single acti�ity are apportioned between those acti�ities 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�
