**Giving Impetus to Voluntary Effort Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **1 Accounting Policies** 

## **Charity information** 

Giving Impetus to Voluntary Efforts is a Charitable company limited by guarantee incorporated and registered in England and Wales. The registered office is 85 Saxonbury Avenue, Sunbury-On-Thames, England, TW16 5HA. 

## **1.1 Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). The Charitable Company is a public benefit entity for the purposes of FRS 102 and a registered charity established as a company limited by guarantee and therefore has also prepared its financial statements in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (The FRS 102 Charities SORP), the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound. 

The principal accounting policies, which are applied consistently, are set out below. 

## **1.2 Going Concern** 

The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charitable company to continue as a going concern. 

The cash flow forecasts have been prepared to cover a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements showing that the charitable company can continue as a going concern. 

## **1.3 Status** 

The company is limited by guarantee and does not have share capital.  There are currently 2 Trustees who are also the members of the company. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of guarantee is limited to £1. 

The company is a registered charity (number: 1100104). 

## **1.4 Incoming Resources** 

Income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when it becomes receivable which is at the point that the funds are received into the bank, and the entitlement, measurement and probability principles are met. 

## **1.5 Resources Expended** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

Governance costs relate to the direct running of the Charity allowing the Charity to operate and generate the information required for public accountability. These costs have all been allocated to charitable activities. 

## **1.6 Fund Accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are those which are available for the general purposes of the Charity at the discretion of the Trustees. 

Designated funds comprise those unrestricted funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have created a fund for a specific purpose. 

Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be soley used for particular areas of the Charity's work. 

## **1.7 Taxation** 

The entity is a registered charity and has no trading income, and is therefore exempt from taxation. 

10 



**Giving Impetus to Voluntary Effort Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **1.8 Critical Accounting Estimates and Areas of Judgement** 

Preparation of the accounts requires the Trustees to make significant judgements and estimates. The trustees have considered whether the donations that are processed through the giving site are under their control and should therefore be recognised in these financial statements or whether alternatively the donations are not under their control and should therefore not be recognised in these financial statements.  After reviewing the revenue recognition criteria of FRS102 and the Charity SORP, they have concluded that they have no control over the donations and are acting as ‘agent’ rather than ‘principal’ in the transactions, and so have only recognised the administrative charge element of the donations processed on the giving platform as the charity’s income. 

## **1.9 Basic financial assets** 

Basic financial assets, which include receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at the amount receivable and subsequently adjusted for any impairment or other change in consideration expected to be received on settlement. 

## **1.10 Basic financial liabilities** 

Basic financial liabilities, including trade payables, are initially measured at the amount payable and subsequently adjusted for any change in consideration expected to be paid on settlement. 

## **1.11 Short term benefits** 

Short term benefits, including holiday pay and other similar non-monetary benefits, are recognised as an expense in the period in which the service is received.
