The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. ## _Going Concern_ The Trustees have considered the financial position of the Charity and have concluded they are able to meet their liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future. For these purposes the foreseeable future is taken to mean a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these accounts. In coming to this conclusion, the trustees have evaluated the impact of the ongoing economic uncertainties on revenues and expenditure. ## _Income_ All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably. ## _Expenditure_ Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. ## _Equipment_ Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Where parts of an item of equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of equipment. Depreciation is charged on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of equipment. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Equipment 3-5 years Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each balance sheet date. ## _Deferred grants and contributions_ Grants and contributions in respect of specific expenditure on equipment are treated as contract liability and recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities over the expected useful economic lives of the related assets. ## _Taxation_ The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 4 AFC Corsham Accounts for the year ended 31 May 2024 ## **1** _**Principal accounting policies** (cont)_ ## _Fund accounting_ Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. |**2**
