## **Note 2                           Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME** 

**Recognition of income** These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:  the charity becomes entitled to the resources;  it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources;  the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless **Offsetting** required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income **Grants and donations** recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). 

In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets **Legacies** in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. 

**Government grants** The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the **Tax reclaims on** donor.  Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that **donations and gifts** gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. **Contractual income and** This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or **performance related** services or met the performance related conditions. **grants** Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be **Donated goods** exchanged) unless impractical to do so. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt.  In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet.  On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from  sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. 

Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. 

Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable.

**Donated services and** Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of **facilities** the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. 



Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. **Support costs** The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. 

|**Volunteer help**|The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is<br>described in the trustees’ annual report.|
|---|---|
|**Income from interest,**|This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable|
|**royalties and dividends**|can be measured reliably.|
|**Income from membership**|Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations|
|**subscriptions**|and Legacies.|
||Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other|
||benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as|
||income from charitable activities.|
|**Settlement of insurance**<br>**claims**|Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition<br>criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other<br>income in the SoFA.|
|**Investment gains and**<br>**losses**|This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and<br>any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the|
||year.|
|**2.3 EXPENDITURE**|**AND LIABILITIES**|
||Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or|
|**Liability recognition**|constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of<br>the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.|
|**Governance  and support**|Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support.|
|**costs**|Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and|
||its compliance with regulation and good practice.|
||Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost|
||categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs|
||by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their|
||usage.|
|**Grants with performance**|Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of|
|**conditions**|service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the|
||recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.|
|**Grants payable without**|Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to|
|**performance conditions**|realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be|
||recognised.|
|**Redundancy cost**|The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period.|
|**Deferred income**|No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.|
|**Creditors**|The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade<br>discounts|
||A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently|
|**Provisions for liabilities**|measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the|
||reporting date|
|**Basic financial**<br>**instruments**|The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per<br>paragraph 10.7 FRS102 SORP.  Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17<br>to 11.19, FRS102 SORP.|

## **Note 25             Fair value of assets and liabilities** 

**25.1  Please provide details of the charity's exposure to credit risk (the risk of incurring a loss due to a debtor not paying what is owed) , liquidity risk (the risk of not being able to meet short term financial demands) and market risk (the risk that the value of an investment will fall due to changes in the market) arising from financial instruments to which the charity is exposed at the end of the reporting period and explain how the charity manages those risks.** 

The charity has limited exposure to the risk of debtors not paying as all charges are small in nature and any long term commitments require a licence to use the premises. All other activities derive income through voluntary donations and income generation which is not on credit. 

**25.2  Please give details of the amount of change in the fair value of basic financial instruments (debtors, creditors, investments (see section 11, FRS102 SORP)) measured at fair value through the SoFA that is attributable to changes in credit risk.**

## **Note 26                         Events after the end of the reporting period** 

_**Please complete this note where events (not requiring adjustment to the accounts) have occurred after the end of the reporting period but before the accounts are authorised which relate to conditions that arose after the end of the reporting period.**_ 

Due to the COVID 19 pandemic it was necessary to close the Equal People premises from April 2020. Facilities are expected to be in operation from July 2020, with working practices adapted to ensure that safety at the facilities is adhered to. During this period fundraising activities have ceased, as has the use of the facilities, resulting in significantly lower income levels during this period. It is not possible to estimate  the financial impact this will have during 2020/21. Charity reserves are sufficient to manage the impact during 2020/21. 

**Please provide details of the nature of the event Provide an estimate of the financial effect of the event or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made**

- **Independent** I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have 

- **examiner's statement** come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

   - the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

   - the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

   - the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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. 

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.
