1, ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Accounting convention
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement ofRecommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) effective from 1 January 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.. .
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£), which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound.
(b) Income
This is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: the charity becomes entitled to the resources; it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
Income from interest, royalties and dividends is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.
(c) Expenditure and liabilities
Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.
Where there are no conditions attaching to a donation that enable the charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised.
A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.
(d) Taxation
The Stewart Newton Charitable Trust is a registered charity and the results of its normal activities are not liable to income, corporation or capital gains tax. All UK income is shown gross.
