## **MYTON CHURCH** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2024** 

## **1. Accounting Policies** 

## **Charity Information** 

Myton Church is an unincorporated charity constituted under a declaration of trust dated 10th Dec 2002 as amended by 

## **Basis of Accounting** 

The financial statements are presented in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity and have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011, in accordance with applicable accounting standards under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102.  Individual items are recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. 

Myton Church meets the definition of public benefit entity under FRS102. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity. 

following the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. 

## **Going Concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **Fund Accounting** 

The charity maintains a general unrestricted fund which represents funds which are expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. Such funds are held in order to finance both working capital and capital investment. 

Restricted funds are provided to the charity for particular purposes, specified by the donor or as a result of  an appeal for a specific project or work but still within the objects of the Church.  These funds are described in note 10.  It is the policy of the Trustees to carefully monitor the application of these funds in accordance with the restrictions placed upon them. 

Designated Funds are unrestricted funds which the Trustees have set aside for a particular purpose.  At present there are no such funds. 

## **Incoming Resources** 

Income received for a specific restricted purpose is credited to a separate restricted fund, which is shown in a note to the financial statements.  Total incoming resources credited to restricted funds are disclosed in the statement of financial activities, which also shows incoming resources in respect of unrestricted funds. 

Donations and other income received are credited in the statement of financial activities in the period in which they are received together with any income tax recoverable on gifts under gift aid.  Rents receivable are recorded on an accruals basis according to the period to which they relate.  Grants and legacies are accounted for when all the conditions for receipt have been met. 

## **Resources Expended** 

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and is allocated between restricted and unrestricted funds as appropriate. 

Expenditure on charitable activities comprises expenditure directly related to the objects of the Church including management and support functions.  Other than fundraising costs, the ongoing support and administration costs form an integral part of the cost of carrying out the direct objectives of the Church. 

## **Fixed Assets** 

The fixed assets of the Church were transferred from Saltisford Evangelical Church on 1 September 2003 at their book written down value on that date.  Subsequent additions are recorded at cost.  Depreciation of fixed assets is calculated to write off their cost or valuation less any residual value by equal instalments over their estimated useful lives as follows: 

Furniture & furnishings 5 years General equipment 5 years Office equipment 3 years 

## **Pensions** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme.  Contributions payable in a year are included in expense in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

## **Financial Instruments** 

Myton Church has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11of FRS 102 'Basic Financial instruments' to all of its financial instruments.  Financial instruments are recognised in Myton Church's balance sheet when Myton Church becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

## **Basic financial assets** 

Basic financial assets include debtors, cash and bank balances. Debtors, cash and bank balances are measured at transaction price including transaction costs. 

## **Basic financial liabilities** 

Basic financial liabilities, are creditors and accruals which are measured at transaction price (cash or expected settlement amount).
