BURTON CARIBBEAN ASSOCIATION LIMITED A company limited by guarantee NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 April 2025

Basis ofpreparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the FR102 Section 1A small entities and the Charities Act 2011. There has been no chnage in accounting policies during period under review.

Reconciliation with previous generally accepted practice

In preparing these accounts, the Trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 the restatement of comparative items was required.

No restatements were required.

Company status The company is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1.

Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The casts of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of financial activities when the company has entitlement to the funds, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects.

Donated services or facilities, which comprise donated services, are included in income at a valuation which is an estimate of the financial cost borne by the donor where such a cost is quantifiable and measurable. No income is recognised where there is no financial cost borne bya third party.

income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

Grants

Grants are recognised in full when the charity has an unconditional entitlement to the income. Grants are deferred to the extent of the progress of a stipulated performance target or if the conditions of a grant are outside the charity's control.

BURTON CARIBBEAN ASSOCIATION LIMITED A company limited by guarantee NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 April 2025

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular activities they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of the resources.

Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the company and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

All resources expended are inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

Going concern

The Trustees have considered the requirements of the company for a period of 12 months from the date of the approval of these financial statements.

Cash flow

The financial statements do not include a Cash flow statement because the charitable company, as a small reporting entity, is exempt from the requirement to prepare such a statement under the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April 2008).

Depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:

Property improvements 14 years straight line Fixtures and fittings and equipment 20%-33% reducing balance Fixtures and fittings 25% Straight Line Office equipment 25% Straight Line

Taxation

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

Pensions

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
