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 taxation (income tax) on its income as it falls within the various exemptions available to registered Charities. Flnancial instruments A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Current 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 impairnient at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairn]ent, 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 impainnent are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impaim]ent not previously been recognised.
