## **3. Accounting policies** 

## **Incoming resources** 

Voluntary income and donations are included in incoming resources when they are receivable except when the donors specify that they must be used in future accounting periods or donor’s conditions have not been fulfilled, then income is deferred. The income from fundraising ventures is shown gross. 

## **Donated services and facilities** 

Income from donated services and facilities is included in incoming resources 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 when there is no financial cost borne by a third party. 

## **Resources expended** 

Resources expended are included in the statement of financial activities on accruals basis, inclusive of any VAT, which cannot be recovered. 

Expenditure, which is directly attributable to specific activities, has been included in these cost categories, where costs are attributable to more than one activity, they have been apportioned across the cost of generating funds on a basis consistent with the use of these resources. 

12 



KULAN SOMALI ORGANISATION 

Cost of generating funds includes salaries, direct expenditure and overhead costs of the staff who promote fundraising including events. 

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

## **Funds** 

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purpose as laid down by the donor. Expenditure, which meets these criteria, is charged to the fund together with a fair allocation of management and support costs. 

Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charitable purposes. 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income & expenditure. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity. 

## **Going concern** 

There are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to stay in business. 

## **Disclosure exemptions** 

The entity satisfies the criteria of being a qualifying entity as defined in FRS 102. As such, advantage has been taken of the following disclosure exemption: No cash flow statement has been presented for the company. 

## **Fund accounting**

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment. 

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub- classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds. 

## **Incoming resources** 

13 



KULAN SOMALI ORGANISATION 

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, receipts is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. 

- 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 can be reliably measured. 

## **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 under taking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. 

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. 

## **Tangible Assets** 

All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. 

## **Depreciation** 

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of those assets as follows: Furniture & equipment 20% reducing balance.
