appeal, has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of
the charity's work.
Expenditure. Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or
constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is
probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the
obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified
under the following activity headings:
Costs of raising funds cover all expenditure incurred by the
charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes - including the
costs of all fundraising activities, events and non-charitable
trading activities, plus the associated support costs.
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of
information provision and beneficiary support undertaken to
further the purposes of the charity and their associated support
costs.
Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any
other heading.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for
which the expenditure was incurred.
Support costs. Support costs are those functions, such as
officelbuilding overheads and governance, that assist the work of
the charity. these costs are split between cost of raising funds
and expenditure on charitable activities. Governance costs are
those costs associated with meeting the strategic management,
constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and
include accountancy fees and associated staff time.
Cost Attribution. Costs have been attributed on a basis
consistent with the use of resources. Where costs cannot be
allocated, they are apportioned by the estimated percentage of
time spent on each activity.
Tangible fixed assets. Individual fixed assets costing £1,000 or
more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over an
estimated useful economic life of 4 years on a straight line basis.
The charity has no such eligible assets.
Financial instruments. The charity only has financial assets and
financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial
instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at
transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement
value.

been prepared under the historical cost convention with items
recognised at cost or transaction value unless othe￿iSe stated in
the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements
have also been prepared in accordance with the Statement of
Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial
Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland
(FRS 102 - abbreviated to Charities SORP FRS102)) issued on
16 July 2014, Update Bulletin 1 (effective 1 January 2016) to
Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS
102), the Charities Act 2011, and the Companies Act 2006. The
charity has adopted some of the SORP reporting requirements
for larger charities.
Bombastic Limited (the charity) meets the definition of a public
benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially
recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless
otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis. The
trustees consider that the charity can continue as a going
concern for at least the next 12 months.
Income. Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement
to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s)
of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be
received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not
deferred. Donated goods income is recognised when the goods
are sold as it is impractical to measure the fair value and the
costs of valuation outweigh the benefit to users of the accounts
and the charity of this information. Where income has related
expenditure (as often with fundraising), the income and related
expenditure are reported gross in the Statement of Financial
Activities.
Interest receivable. Interest on any funds held on deposit is
included when receivable and the amount can be measured
reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the
interest paid or payable by the Bank.
Fund accounting. Unrestricted funds are available to spend on
activities that further any of the purposes of charity. Restricted
funds are donations which the donor, or charity when making an

Debtors Trade and other debtors are recognised at the
settlement amount due after any trade discount offered.
Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade
discounts due.
Cash at bank and in hand. Cash at bank and cash in hand
includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a
short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition
or opening of the deposit or similar account.
Creditors and provisions. Creditors and provisions are
recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting
from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds
to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be
measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are
normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for
any trade discounts due.
Taxation. The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its
charitable activities.
