Thames Sailing Barge Trust 

Report for the year ended 31[st] October 2020 

Covid 19 has made for a particularly difficult year with the principal risk facing the charitable company’s ability to generate sufficient income to cover expenditure incurred in fulfilling the objectives of the charity. 

The trustees have reviewed the cash position of the charitable company and cash forecasts at the date of signing of the accounts and are satisfied that the charitable company will be able to meet all of its financial commitments. 

As a consequence the trustees believe that the charitable company is well placed to manage its financial risks successfully and that the charitable company has adequate reserves to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

**THAMES SAILING BARGE TRUST LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020** 

## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of accounting** 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these financial statements. 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with: the Statement of Recommended 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 105) issued on 16 July 2014 and with the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Going concern** 

The principal risk facing the charitable company is its ability to generate sufficient income to cover expenditure incurred in fulfilling the objectives of the charitable company. The trustees have reviewed the cash position of the charitable company and cash forecasts at the date of signing of the accounts and are satisfied that the charitable company will be able to meet all of its financial commitments. As a consequence the trustees believe that the charitable company is well placed to manage its financial risks successfully and that the charitable company has adequate reserves to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts. 

## **Income** 

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

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation commiting the charity to that expenditure, it is possible that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under the headings that aggregate all cost related to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Fixed assets** 

Fixed assets are reviewed and revalued on a regular basis by the directors to reflect the current value of those assets. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
