The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity. Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty The preparation of the financial statements requires managemcnt to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Fund accounting General unrestricted funds comprise the accumulated surplus or deficit on income and expenditure account. They are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Restricted funds are funds subject to specific restricted conditions imposed by donors. There are no restricted funds as at the Balance Sheet date. Designated funds ar¢ funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the trustees for specific purposes. There are no designated funds as at the Balanc¢ Sheet date. Incoming resources All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its atnount can be measured reliably. legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value.

FRIENDS OF MOSDOS BELZ MACHNOVIL4 Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) Year ended 31 March 2024 Accounting policies fconlirtued) IDcoming resources (conilnued) income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted. Resources expended Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: expenditure on raising funds includes the Costs of all fundraising activities. events, non- charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of it5 beneficiaries. including those support costs and costs relating to th¢ governance of the charity apportioned to charitable aotlvities. other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis. Taxation The Charity is not liable to direct t&xation (income tax) on its income as It falls within the various exemptions available to registered Charities. Financial instruments A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a paty to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is reeognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of intcrcst for a sitnilar debt instrument. Cu¢llt assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairnient, an impairnient loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised. Any reversals of impaimient are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carying amount would have been had the impairn]ent not previously been recognised.
