Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 July 2021
- Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) (effective October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Harper Adams Development Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Interest receivable
A cash flow statement has not been prepared as Harper Adams University Development Trust is included in the consolidated accounts of Harper Adams University and the exemption under FRS 102 paragraph 1.12 has been applied.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the Trustees consider to be appropriate based on the following reasons:
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities The activity of the entity is predominantly associated that further any of the purposes of charity. Designated with the distribution of scholarships to students at funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the Harper Adams University based on income generated in trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to a particular financial year or held within reserves from use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are the prior years. Due to the philanthropic nature of donations which the donor has specified are to be solely income generation and distribution, the Harper Adams used for the Harper Adams University scholarship Development Trust will only distribute what is available programme. For specific purchases of purchases of or has been generated, and as such ensure it can meet equipment for Harper Adams _ University and its liabilities as they fall due for that period, justifying that contributions to capital projects run by Harper Adams it will continue to remain as a going concern.

Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings: Consequently, the Trustees are confident that the Trust will have sufficient funds to continue continue to meetitsits[[liabilities]] e Expenditure on charitable activities includes as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of the Harper Adams University scholarship approval of the financial statements and therefore have programme, specific purchases of equipment prepared financial statements on a going concern basis. for Harper Adams University and contributions to capital projects run by Harper Adams The Trustees consider that there are no material University. uncertainties about the Trust's ability to continue as a e Other expenditure represents those items not going concern. falling into any other heading.
Consequently, the Trustees are confident that the Trust will have sufficient funds to continue continue to meetitsits[[liabilities]] as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared financial statements on a going concern basis.
Staff costs are not remunerated through the Trust as these and other operational costs are met by Harper Adams University.
