a) Accounting basis

These accounts have been prepared on the receipts and payments basis under section 42(3) of the Charities Act 1993 and the Statement of Recommended Practice on Accounting by Charities published in March 2008. The adoption of the revised SORP has resulted in reclassification of some items.

b) Incoming resources

i) Voluntary income

Voluntary income is received by way of Tithes offerings, donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable.

ii) Bank interest

Bank interest is included in the income and expenditure account on receipt.

c) Resources expended

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis.

d) Fixed assets and depreciation

Fixed assets are included at cost. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset over its expected useful life using the reducing balance method. Assets are depreciated as follows: Instruments & Equipments at 12%.

e) Restricted and unrestricted funds

Income received for restricted purposes is included in a separate restricted fund against which appropriate expenditure is allocated. Restricted funds are those funds which represent grants and donations for a specific purpose. Upon full performance of the purpose of the grant, any surplus is then retrievable by the donor. Income generated for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose is allocated to unrestricted funds. Accumulated surpluses may be retained by the church and are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the church’s objects. There were no restricted funds during the year.
