Trustees' Report

The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present the annual report together with the financial statements and auditors' report of the charitable company for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Trustees and officers

The trustees and officers serving during the year and since the year end were as follows:

Trustees: John Adcock (appointed 21 March 2024) Charlotte Green (appointed 23 April 2024) Andy Heald Bronwyn Hill Kenneth Milton Matthew Richardson Laurence Taylor Secretary: Andy Heald

In response to significant challenges to the Trust’s finances, arising from the cost-of-living crisis, the Trustees agreed a two-year action plan to reduce the 2023 deficit and rebuild funds for maintenance and improvement of the centre. The priority is to reduce costs and increase income, through advertising and development of new opportunities, in line with our charitable objectives. This action plan relies on strong support from the rowing clubs, who are the main users of the Trafalgar Rowing Centre, and their membership.

The action plan was successful in its first year, producing a surplus of £10,538 (2024) (2023 deficit: £18,062). However, the Trustees need to ensure that the centre is resilient to headwinds, including significant increases in utility costs and volatility in income from hospitality and events. The charity acknowledges the very important contribution from volunteers, the Trustees and management committee, and support from the rowing clubs, all of which is vital to our future success.

Based on this approach, and the level of cash reserves, the Trustees consider that the Charity is a going concern. The Trustees are pleased to highlight a significant donation (£10,000) to the Trust to cover the cost of new windows and doors in the main function room. This will improve energy efficiency and the attractiveness of the venue for events.

Our wider charitable activities continued in 2024. We are pleased to see significant use from the Thames Explorer Trust, which runs river education for schools along the Tidal Thames, and by other local groups, including the Toastmasters society and the Greenwich Society.

Trafalgar 2001 Trust Limited

Trustees' Report

Both rowing clubs have seen an increase in active member participation, more social activities and volunteering. Take up of “learn to row” courses continued at a high level. We have attracted a new hire for the gym (personal training) and we hope to see a new indoor rowing offer in future.

The highlights from the Rowing Clubs are as follows:

Globe Rowing Club : has a strong tradition as a community sports club, with active participation at all ages from 12 to 75 years. It saw an increase in Juniors (12-18 years) and older rowers (“Masters”) and improvements in its high-performance squad. Rowing highlights of the year include Ronnie Richardson winning the 310th Doggett’s Coat and Badge wager, Charlotte Van der Viele (Junior) competing successfully at the Home Internationals, winning three Gold medals, and the senior women who qualified two boats into Henley Women’s Regatta. The club also celebrated its first ever win at the British Rowing Masters Championships.

Curlew Rowing Club Curlew Rowing Club : has continued its strong tradition of a small but mighty sports club, with active participation as all levels of racing, 2024 saw growth in the size of the club and increased communication with our community including Active Thames funding to support efforts around Learn to Row courses for the local community. Rowing Highlights of the year include continuing to qualify for Henley Royal Regatta, with our Wyfold 4- racing on the Tuesday and our Thames 8+narrowly missing out on qualification. The club also saw wins at Poplar Regatta, achieved Women's Head of the River at Docklands Head for our women's senior eight as well as fastest men's coxless four and women's coxless four.

Objectives and activities

Public benefit

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Structure, governance and management

The Charity leases premises in Greenwich, managing these premises in support of its activities. It holds funds to allow this to be done, and also holds certain fixed and moveable assets in support of these activities.

The Charity is governed by a Trust Deed and is established as a Company Limited by Guarantee.

In the event of a vacancy, the remaining Trustees shall unanimously appoint a new Trustee from among the membership of Globe Rowing Club and Curlew Rowing Club.

The Trustees are supported by a management committee comprising three Trustees, plus representatives of the Members, the events manager and the bookkeeper. There are no employees, and no remuneration is paid to any Trustee or volunteer.

Trafalgar 2001 Trust Limited

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The trustees (who are also the directors of Trafalgar 2001 Trust Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that can disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Small companies provision statement

This report has been prepared in accordance with the small companies regime under the Companies Act 2006.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Trafalgar 2001 Trust Limited ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees (who are also Directors for the purpose of company law) on my examination of the accounts of the Trafalgar 2001 Trust Limited (‘the charitable company’) for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and related notes.

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees of Trafalgar 2001 Trust Limited you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of Trafalgar 2001 Trust Limited are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinion on the financial statements. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide. Consequently I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements present a ‘true and fair’ view and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the independent examiner’s statement.

Independent examiner’s statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of Trafalgar 2001 Trust Limited as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

1 Charity status

The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales , and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.

The address of its registered office is: 11-13 Crane Street Greenwich London SE10 9NP

Authorised for issue date

2 Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Second edition October 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). They also comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011.

Basis of preparation

Trafalgar 2001 Trust Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.

Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement

The charity opted to early adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.

Page 9

Trafalgar 2001 Trust Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the directos are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the periods in which the estimate is revised where revisions affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revisions affects both current and future periods.

Income and endowments

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.

Donations and legacies

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Charitable activities

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

Support costs

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

Governance costs

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.

Page 10

Trafalgar 2001 Trust Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £1,000.00 or more are initially recorded at cost.

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Asset class Depreciation method and rate Fixtures, fittings and equipment 25% straight line basis Leasehold and other interests in land and buildings 10% straight line basis

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Trustees' Report

The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present the annual report together with the financial statements and auditors' report of the charitable company for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Trustees and officers

The trustees and officers serving during the year and since the year end were as follows:

Trustees: John Adcock (appointed 21 March 2024) Charlotte Green (appointed 23 April 2024) Andy Heald Bronwyn Hill Kenneth Milton Matthew Richardson Laurence Taylor Secretary: Andy Heald

In response to significant challenges to the Trust’s finances, arising from the cost-of-living crisis, the Trustees agreed a two-year action plan to reduce the 2023 deficit and rebuild funds for maintenance and improvement of the centre. The priority is to reduce costs and increase income, through advertising and development of new opportunities, in line with our charitable objectives. This action plan relies on strong support from the rowing clubs, who are the main users of the Trafalgar Rowing Centre, and their membership.

The action plan was successful in its first year, producing a surplus of £10,538 (2024) (2023 deficit: £18,062). However, the Trustees need to ensure that the centre is resilient to headwinds, including significant increases in utility costs and volatility in income from hospitality and events. The charity acknowledges the very important contribution from volunteers, the Trustees and management committee, and support from the rowing clubs, all of which is vital to our future success.

Based on this approach, and the level of cash reserves, the Trustees consider that the Charity is a going concern. The Trustees are pleased to highlight a significant donation (£10,000) to the Trust to cover the cost of new windows and doors in the main function room. This will improve energy efficiency and the attractiveness of the venue for events.

Our wider charitable activities continued in 2024. We are pleased to see significant use from the Thames Explorer Trust, which runs river education for schools along the Tidal Thames, and by other local groups, including the Toastmasters society and the Greenwich Society.

Trustees' Report

Both rowing clubs have seen an increase in active member participation, more social activities and volunteering. Take up of “learn to row” courses continued at a high level. We have attracted a new hire for the gym (personal training) and we hope to see a new indoor rowing offer in future.

The highlights from the Rowing Clubs are as follows:

Globe Rowing Club : has a strong tradition as a community sports club, with active participation at all ages from 12 to 75 years. It saw an increase in Juniors (12-18 years) and older rowers (“Masters”) and improvements in its high-performance squad. Rowing highlights of the year include Ronnie Richardson winning the 310th Doggett’s Coat and Badge wager, Charlotte Van der Viele (Junior) competing successfully at the Home Internationals, winning three Gold medals, and the senior women who qualified two boats into Henley Women’s Regatta. The club also celebrated its first ever win at the British Rowing Masters Championships.

Curlew Rowing Club Curlew Rowing Club : has continued its strong tradition of a small but mighty sports club, with active participation as all levels of racing, 2024 saw growth in the size of the club and increased communication with our community including Active Thames funding to support efforts around Learn to Row courses for the local community. Rowing Highlights of the year include continuing to qualify for Henley Royal Regatta, with our Wyfold 4- racing on the Tuesday and our Thames 8+narrowly missing out on qualification. The club also saw wins at Poplar Regatta, achieved Women's Head of the River at Docklands Head for our women's senior eight as well as fastest men's coxless four and women's coxless four.

Objectives and activities

Public benefit

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that can disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Trafalgar 2001 Trust Limited ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees (who are also Directors for the purpose of company law) on my examination of the accounts of the Trafalgar 2001 Trust Limited (‘the charitable company’) for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and related notes.

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees of Trafalgar 2001 Trust Limited you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of Trafalgar 2001 Trust Limited are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinion on the financial statements. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide. Consequently I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements present a ‘true and fair’ view and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the independent examiner’s statement.

Independent examiner’s statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of Trafalgar 2001 Trust Limited as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

1 Charity status

The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales , and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.

The address of its registered office is: 11-13 Crane Street Greenwich London SE10 9NP

Authorised for issue date

2 Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Second edition October 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). They also comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011.

Basis of preparation

Trafalgar 2001 Trust Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.

Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement

The charity opted to early adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.

Page 9

Trafalgar 2001 Trust Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the directos are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the periods in which the estimate is revised where revisions affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revisions affects both current and future periods.

Income and endowments

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.

Donations and legacies

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Charitable activities

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

Support costs

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

Governance costs

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.

Page 10

Trafalgar 2001 Trust Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £1,000.00 or more are initially recorded at cost.

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Asset class Depreciation method and rate Fixtures, fittings and equipment 25% straight line basis Leasehold and other interests in land and buildings 10% straight line basis

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
