Vineyard Churches UK and Ireland Trustees’ Report For the year ended 31 December 2022

The Trustees submit herewith their Annual Report together with inspected financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 published in October 2019.

When planning the activities for the year, the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission guidance on the public benefit, and, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion to provide public benefit.

• 1 Objectives and Activities

The primary object of the company is the advancement of the Christian faith including missionary activities in the United Kingdom and overseas and the planting of new churches. From these five key objectives can be drawn: To provide pastoral oversight, training and resourcing to the members and associate members of Vineyard Churches UK and Ireland (thereafter VCUKI) and to oversee the planting of new Vineyard congregations in the UK and treland and to support international missions.

We believe that these lead to the propagation of Christian beliefs, which bring hope and reason to those in need, spread ethical values to society as a whole and contribute to social action.

• a. Public benefit When planning the activities for the year, the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit, and in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion to provide public benefit.

• b. Summary of Objectives

• The Company is established to:

  1. Provide oversight to the senior pastors of existing churches and facilitate the planting of new churches.

  2. Bring together churches who hold common values and practices.

  3. Do all it can to help people become all that they can in Christ, by helping, serving and strengthening our churches. VCUKI believes this can only be achieved through the building and sustaining of strong relationships among the churches, based on love, openness and trust.

• In Meeting our Objectives, we adhere to five main values: 1. Exercising spiritual authority supported by minimal structural authority - our understanding is that authority resides in the spiritual and relational aspects of ministry as well as in the structure.

  1. Self-governing legally — we want local churches to be free to express and govern themselves within the context of the values and theology of VCUKI.

  2. Relationships are key amongst leaders who like to be together and work together and are key to maintaining a highly trust-based movement.

  3. Our organisation’s structure is built on people who, for as long as possible, continue to remain as Senior Pastors. By maintaining a system where those in church government are also on the front line of pastoral ministry, we hope to avoid losing the vision in the process of carrying it out.

  4. 5: The role of VCUKI is to support and encourage pastors and leaders and to provide resources to the movement.

Trustees’ Report (continued) For the year ended 31 December 2022

• 1 Objectives and Activities (Continued)

• d. Strategies for achieving objectives:

  1. Churen Planting During the period of these accounts the number of Vineyard Churches stands at 121 (2021 — 127) with 28 (2021 — 20) satellite churches.

  2. Coaching

The coaching initiative continued this year, the aim is for each new Church Planter and existing Senior Pastor to have a coach to aid and assist them in the journey of planting or running a church. We have a number of certified coaches as well as a number of people who are the training programme. This allows the true empowerment of leaders to be all God has made them to be, whilst also building a healthy, dynamic, life-giving church culture and a healthy balance between being and doing, a vital challenge, as we look after our leaders.

1. Events For the furtherance of religious education of the wider Church, several national events were held throughout the year as follows:

2. a. Vineyard National Gathering in April. The event was held in person over two days, held twice at the beginning of the week and at the end of the week, total attendees over both events were 1,484 (2021 — online 12,674 on average during the evening sessions, and 3,004 for the morning sessions, a further 32,846 views of the whole conference after the event. Teaching came from Steve Nicholson, John and Debby Wright, Archie Coates and Chuck and Taryn Freeland.

3. b. National Worship Retreat, held in February in England and in March in ireland for a time of connection, teaching, ministry and worship. 191 delegates attended the English retreat, and 74 delegates attended the Irish retreat (2021 — No events held, except for online training and connection with worship leaders and songwriters).

4. Cc. The Dreaming the Impossible youth festival met for the first time in person in August at the based at the Staffordshire Showground for 5 days, 2419 young people and youth leaders gathered, with a further 371 people on teams to make the event run (2021 - 1,478 meet in person at Trent Vineyard Church spread over Event A and Event B).

5. d. The Cause to Live for Conference held in November, aimed at the 18-30's for a time of encouragement, envisioning and equipping for, the cause of Jesus Christ. 835 attended including team (2021 — 701).

6. Vineyard Ministry Pathway A major new initiative was launched at the Vineyard National Gathering in April by Chuck and Taryn Freeland. The Vineyard Ministry Pathway is a leadership development strategy, designed to assist with leaders’ journeys towards vocational ministry in the Vineyard. It aims to help leaders from any context to receive the training and support they need to step into their calling to ministry. It takes leaders of all ages and stages and prepares them for vocational ministry through tailored training and equipping programmes. The pathway has multiple stages, ranging from a modular leadership training course run through individual Vineyard churches in the UK and Ireland, called Vineyard Essentials; to a year-long intensive part-time Leadership College programme for those aiming to step into vocational ministry or church planting. Set up in record time, the hope was for 25 students attending the Leadership College in the first year, the response was overwhelming with 83 students spread over four campuses starting the college in September.

Vineyard Churches UK and Ireland

Trustees’ Report (continued) For the year ended 31 December 2022

• 1 Objectives and Activities (continued)

• Areas The primary work of the movement is carried out though local churches, these are grouped together geographically into areas, typically with 10-12 churches per area. Different activities have been carried out in different areas, but the main activities include:

• a. Relationship building — encouraging networking, co-operation and encouragement amongst the church leaders within the area, investing time in Senior Pastors and worship leaders and looking at potential church planters and church growth.

• b. Teaching and Training - facilitated by Area Days, Leadership Essentials Course Centres based around the country, trustee training and the Vineyard ‘Stack’ resource website.

• Cc. Pastoral Support — Area Leaders spend time supporting Senior Pastors which includes assisting with difficult local issues that arise and general mentoring.

• 1. Regions Each region has a cluster of churches grouped together by area. The pastoral support and care for those churches is facilitated by an Area Leader, Coach, Spiritual Director and Pastoral Mentors. These Area Leaders work together with their Regional Leader to provide leadership, vision and encouragement. The five Regional Leaders all report to the Vineyard National Leadership Team (VLT) which enables the national strategy and its local implementation to be disseminated quickly.
• 1. Trademarks Part of our role is to articulate what it means to be a local Vineyard Church and at the same time to protect the reputation of all Vineyard Churches in the UK and Ireland. One way we do this is by maintaining the Vineyard name and associate devices as registered trademarks and licensing these to accredited individuals who are planting churches.

• Taskforces a. Church Planting — continues to be a high priority for the Vineyard Movement. Led by James Rankine from Cardiff Vineyard.

  • b. International Missions — we estimate that half of the Vineyard Churches in the UK and Ireland are actively involved in supporting overseas mission. They support church planting efforts, ministry to the poor and advancing social justice to those around the world. This is led by Nick Sutton from Coventry Vineyard.

• VCUKI Grant giving policy and philosophy Often the primary work of the charity is carried out through some of our specific local churches, as they are commonly in direct contact with our target group. Additionally, they have existing skills and resources on which we may “piggyback”. Thus, by giving them grants, to cover their marginal costs for these tasks, we are able to fulfil our objects in a highly efficient and focussed manner without having to carry extra overhead. We make grants to them in the context of specific objectives and tasks which help us to achieve the charity's overall objectives, namely:

  • a. Firstly, within the UK and Ireland to assist in pastoral oversight of individual churches by means of area and regional leaders.

  • b. Secondly, to assist in the training and resourcing of member churches via means of theological training and other leadership training.

  • Cc. Thirdly, to assist in the planting of new churches within the UK and Ireland. d. Fourthly, to assist in the development of theological knowledge within the UK and internationally.

• 1 Objectives and Activities (continued)

• e. Fifthly, to assist the global Vineyard Movement to train and equip leaders to advance the Christian faith through missions in the UK and overseas.

It is further understood that on the receipl and expendilure of the grants these churches will, annually, account for the expenditure as well as describe the nature and details of the activities they have undertaken in helping us fulfil our objectives.

1. Vineyard Training This digital platform is used to provide training resources to the movement. This platform brings together the best training in a variety of ministry areas that people can access whenever they need and on any device. Partnering with the Vineyard Institute a number of modules have been created to aid theological education in the Vineyard, covering such topics as: Hermeneutics, The Story of the Kingdom, The Pentateuch and the 10 Core theological topics and many others.

2. Plans for the Future The movement's focus continues to be:

3. a. To enrol new students onto the Leadership College to start the new course in September.

4. b. Vineyard Theological Training - to equip leaders and potential leaders in their gifting, focusing on three main areas of leadership training: spiritual formation, hands-on experience for ministry and biblical training.

5. c. To use the strategic reserves in developing and growing Vineyard Churches five priorities in the UK see paragraph 2a(3).

6. d. Run anumber of national events, including: i) Vineyard National Gathering in April 2023. ii) Worship Leaders Retreat in England in June 2023 and one in Ireland. iii) Soul Care senior Pastors retreats in April to June 2023. iv) Dreaming the Impossible Conference in August 2023. v) Cause to Live For Conference in November 2023.

2 Financial Review

Trustees believe that the internal financial controls conform to guidelines issued by the Charity Commission and the Fundraising Regulator.

The principal stream of income of the charity continues to consist of regular contributions from local Vineyard Churches. These are supplemented by one-off gifts to initiate new projects.

During this period major grants were made totalling £209,906 (2021 — £260,824), a detailed breakdown is included in note 7 to the accounts.

Total incoming resources for the period amounted to £1,935,420 (2021 - £1,450,931), all applied for general purposes, except for that given at various conferences and restricted to that offering.

Total resources expended for the period amounted to £2,033,285 (2021 - £1,542,162).

Leaving reserves at the year-end of £869,014 (2021 - £966,879).

a. Reserves policy In line with Charity Commission guidance, the Trustees have reviewed their policy on the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets (the free reserves) and find the charity should have:

5

Vineyard Churches UK and Ireland

Trustees’ Report (continued) For the year ended 31 December 2022

2 Financial Review (continued)

1. Operating Reserves equivalent to 4 months of core expenditure in the current year. At present the free liquid reserves are £451,353 which represents 4.0 months of expenditure at 2022 levels.

2. Designated Funds — Fixed Assets, this represents resources in the charity’s fixed assets. The fund is therefore not readily available for other purposes.

3. Strategic Reserves are unrestricted funds over and above those needed for operating reserves and designated reserves to be used for strategic developments as identified by the Trustees for the five key strategies of the movement: Church health and growth, Developing tomorrow’s leaders, Worship, Kingdom impact and Church planting.

Each of these has been running for the past four years and it is assumed that these are now part of the warp and weft of normal activities and are covered by income from the Vineyard Churches. However new initiatives may well come up and these will be paid for from Strategic Reserves.

• b. Investment policy In the current investment climate, our policy has been to hold reserves on deposit at the highest rate of interest that can be earned safely and ethically.

The trustees, having considered the charity’s reserves and bank balances in light of current global events, have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and therefore have a prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.

3 Structure, Governance and Management

VCUKI is a company limited by the guarantee of its members and is also registered as a charity in England and Wales (No 1099748) and in Scotland (No SCO41285). The Articles of Association (last amended on 25 February 2020) of the charity act as its governing document.

The key groups are shown below. In the case of the first two, their members are listed on page 9.

a. Trustees

The Trustees’ role is to oversee the financial affairs of VCUKI, to consider and manage risk, and to ensure compliance with legislation and regulations.

The Trustees also form the board of directors of the company, and they meet in person at least 3 times per year with intervening Zoom calls. They are appointed in conjunction with the Leadership Group on expertise and need, and in general are leaders or members of churches in the movement. The group consults widely with experts about emerging issues affecting VCUKI.

The Trustees have given due consideration to Charity Commission published guidance on the operations of the Public Benefit requirement.

The process of selection and induction of Trustees:

Our Trustees would typically be Christian and either church leaders or professionals of some standing and repute. Additionally, they would have become familiar with the workings and business of VCUKI through being a church

b. Vineyard Leadership Team

The Leadership Team is responsible for the day-to-day governance, leadership and strategy of VCUKI which they execute in conjunction with the Trustees. The Leadership Team consists of 12 people. They meet physically at least 4 times per year and also have conference calls at other times as needed. They focus particularly on the twin areas of church development and church planting.

c. Area Leaders

The UK and Ireland are divided into 12 areas. Area Leaders coordinate and support churches in their areas: East Anglia, Essex and Kent, Ireland, London, Midlands, Northeast and Yorkshire, North West, Scotland, South Central, South Coast, South West, West Country and Wales.

Regional Leadership and Regionalisation

The Leadership Team and the Trustees have clustered ‘the areas’ together into five regions, and are listed here: Ireland, London & Southeast, North/Midiands/East, Scotland, South & Wales where they still operate as areas but come under a Regional Leader. This allows primarily a clearer line of connection and communication between the local church and the Leadership Team.

3 Structure, Governance and Management (continued)

• d. Risk Management

A formal risk management procedure is followed to assess business risks and implement risk management strategies. Major strategic, operational and financial risks to which VCUKI may be exposed have been identified and prioritised in terms of potential impact and likelihood of occurrence. Systems have been established to mitigate those risks. The action plan is reviewed annually as required to ensure its validity. As part of this process, the Trustees have reviewed the risk to the reputation and image of VCUKI, and a comprehensive process has been established to mitigate the risks we face in this area.

• The systems of internal control are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss. They include: a. Anannual budget approved by the Trustees. b. Regular consideration by the Trustees of financial reports. c. Delegation of authority and segregation of duties. d. Identification and management of risks.

Fundraising Regulator — Vineyard Churches UK & Ireland is registered with the Fundraising Regulator. We are committed to ensuring that our fundraising remains legal, open honest and respectful and will abide by the Fundraising Code of Practice.

Vineyard Churches UK & Ireland fundraising happens generally once a year at our National Leaders Conference, an announcement is made from the front of stage, usually by the National Directors, detailing what VCUKI is fundraising for. This is generally to other charities with similar aims and ethos to Vineyard Churches UK & Ireland, however sometimes the fundraising maybe used for internal projects. Other promotional means include details on the giving page on the conference website and in the event brochure.

The donors can either give by login into the Vineyard Churches UK Ireland giving page to pay by credit/ debit card or make a direct to transfer to the bank account. Baskets will be sent round the auditorium for cheques and cash to be donated, though this forms a very small proportion of the total given.

No one is coerced into giving and it is a purely free choice of the individual whether they wish to donate.

There were no compliance issues with a scheme or fundraising standard.

There have been no complaints concerning fundraising by Vineyard Churches UK & Ireland.

The setting of pay and remuneration for key management personnel is arrived at by looking at equivalent roles in the local community such as the education sector and the charitable sector, a cost of living rise is given based on the Office for National Statistics average earnings report in December to start from the following financial year, the board approves the budget for the year including the increase in salaries and pension contributions.

Vineyard Churches UK and Ireland Independent Auditors’ Report To the trustees and members of Vineyard Churches UK and Ireland

We have audited the financial statements of Vineyard Churches UK & Ireland (the ‘charitable company’) for the | year ended 31% December 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

• e have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

• e have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:

• e the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or

• e the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charitable company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

Vineyard Churches UK and Ireland Independent Auditors’ Report To the trustees and members of Vineyard Churches UK and Ireland

Auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from . material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the charitable company, including the Charities Act 2011, Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation, data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation. An understanding of these laws and regulations and the extent of compliance was obtained through discussion with management and inspecting legal and regulatory correspondence ;

We assessed the susceptibility of the charitable company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by making enquiries of management and considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: -performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; -tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; -assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and -investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: -agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;

-reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;

-enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and

-reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators and the charitable company's legal advisors.

Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission, or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Vineyard Churches UK and Ireland Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2022

1.1 Statement of compliance Vineyard Churches UK and Ireland is a company limited by quarantee and registered as a charity in England/Wales. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 9 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activities are set out in the Report of the Trustees on pages 2 to 11. The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair view and have departed from the Charities {Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved 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 issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £1.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements arc sct out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

The trustees, having considered the charity's reserves and bank balances, in light of current global events, have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and therefore have a prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.

1.2 Funds accounting Unrestricted funds are those which are not subject to any special restrictions and they can be used as the Trustees decide in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

Restricted funds are those which are subject to special restrictions as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Designated funds are part of unrestricted funds and are amounts the Trustees have set aside to cover particular expenditure. At 31 December 2013 the Trustees set up a designated fund to cover the net book value of tangible fixed assets.

1.3. Incoming resources All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Income received by way of donations and gifts is included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receipts basis. Tax recoverable on gift aid donations is recognised in the same period as the gift to which it relates. Investment income is included when receivable. Income from charitable activities is recognised when the activity occurs. Income from other trading activities and other income is recognised when the Charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be reliably measured.

The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included in these accounts.

1.4 Resources expended Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to a third party. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year-end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

Charitable activities expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and service for beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.

| 1.5 Fixed assets Tangible fixed assets costing more than £500 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition. The charitable company carries out annual impairment reviews where there is indication that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Pension costs are allocated to the activity in which associated staff costs have been attributed.

1.7 Financial instruments The Charity has adopted section 11 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments. Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Short term creditors are measured at transaction price.
