In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute and amount not exceeding £10.
Recruitment and Appointment of Management Committee
The Management Committee seek to ensure that the needs of ADEPT Ltd are appropriately reflected through the diversity of the trustee body. To enhance the potential pool of trustees, ADEPT Ltd has sought to identify individuals who would be willing to become trustees and use their experience to enhance ADEPT Ltd. In order to develop a broad skill mix, the trustees are requested to provide a list of their skills and in the event of a key skill being absent, individuals are approached to offer themselves for election to the Management Committee. There have been no changes during 2018.
Trustee Induction and Training
The trustees are already familiar with the practical work of ADEPT Ltd. New trustees are invited and encouraged to visit Romania to gain first hand experience of the activities of ADEPT Ltd. The Charities Commission's guide "the Essential Trustee" is also provided.
Risk Management
The Management Committee has conducted a review of the major risks to which ADEPT Ltd is exposed. Where appropriate systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks ADEPT Ltd faces. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of ADEPT Ltd.
Related Parties
The activities of ADEPT Ltd are combined with that of Fundatia ADEPT Transilvania, a separate charity registered in Romania with identical objectives. Much of the finance raised for the implementation of the ADEPT objectives and activities is raised in Romania. The directors in Romania are Cristi Gherghiceanu, Nat Page and Razvan Popa. ADEPT Ltd supports the Barbara Knowles Fund (BKF), which shares the same objectives, by acting as a Gift Aid-eligible channel for donations to BKF. This is in accordance with Charities Commission guidelines.
Organisation Structure
ADEPT Ltd has a Management Committee of up to ten members who meet twice per year and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. At present the Management Committee has six trustees from a variety of professional backgrounds relevant to the work of ADEPT Ltd. The founding director also sits on this committee but is not a trustee. ADEPT's chief scientist John Akeroyd also regularly attends meetings, and other specialist advisers are invited to attend meetings from time to time. Responsibility for day-to-day management of ADEPT Ltd is with the founding director. The project is increasingly managed by ADEPT staff in Romania, with less time required from UK management. The Romanian ADEPT team has built capacity through experience and through training courses.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
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
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, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
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. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 undertaking 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
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
| Leasehold property | - | 10% straight line |
|---|---|---|
| Equipment | - | 15% reducing balance |
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the company are assigned to those units.
