8. Work Placements: The GM Growth Company allocated three young people on the Kickstart scheme, providing on job support and skills enhancement for individuals recruited from local DWP job centres. Two of the kickstartrs have gained full time eomployment by the end of the six months period, while one has moved to further postgraduate course of study to complete Masters. 9. EHF played an active role in referring its clients to access Food Parcel scheme. BME Network also requested EHF to assist them in their efforts of delivering food to the most in need among our clientele. 10. EHF outsourced its HR functions to an independent professional consultancy – Worknest. It has reduced the workload its key management personnel were spending on issues concerning human resource management. The move to outsource also helped the organisation to review its long standing policies and procedures. As a result of this consultancy, EHF has developed a handbook of policies and procedures in line of exisiting rules and regulations applicable in England.

## **Ethnic Health Forum (Charitable Incorporated Organisation) Notes to the Financial Statements Year Ended 30 April 2022** 

## 1. **Summary of significant accounting policies** 

## **(a) General information and basis of preparation** 

Ethnic Health Forum is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page X of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are included on page X. 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £. 

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. 

## **(b) Funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **(c) Income recognition** 

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received. 

For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained, then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled. 

No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP. 

17 of 21 



Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred. 

Income from government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met, then these amounts are deferred. 

## **(d) Expenditure recognition** 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings: 

## Expenditure on charitable activities 

Comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

Expenditure on raising funds 

Comprises costs which are directly attributable to the charity’s fund-raising activities for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising events and non-charitable trading. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose. 

Grants payable to third parties are within the charitable objectives. Where unconditional grants are offered, this is accrued as soon as the recipient is notified of the grant, as this gives rise to a reasonable expectation that the recipient will receive the grants. Where grants are conditional relating to performance then the grant is only accrued when any unfulfilled conditions are outside of the control of the charity. 

## **(e) Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. 

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows: Computer equipment 33% straight line 

## **(f) Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year** 

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure. 

## **(g) Foreign currency** 

Foreign currency transactions are initially recognised by applying to the foreign currency amount the spot exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction. 

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency at the balance sheet date are translated using the closing rate. 

## **(h) Employee benefits** 

When employees have rendered service to the charity, short-term employee benefits to which the 

18 of 21 



## **Ethnic Health Forum (Charitable Incorporated Organisation) Notes to the Financial Statements Year Ended 30 April 2022** 

## 1. **Summary of significant accounting policies** 

employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service. 

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its employees. Contributions are expensed as they become payable. 

## **(i) Tax** 

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore, it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. 

## **(j) Going concern** 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern. 

## **2 INCOME** 

This represents grants, contracts, service level agreements and sundry income receivable for the provision of care and social welfare services.
