Warrington Mencap Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 September 2024

1 Accounting policies Basis of preparation of the accounts

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (FRSSE), effective April 2008, and all other applicable accounting standards, as modified by the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales, (revised June 2008) (The SORP). The accounts have been drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the Companies Act 2006, and include the results of the charity's operations which are described in the Trustees' Report, all of which are continuing. Insofar as the SORP requires compliance with specific Financial Reporting Standards other than the FRSSE then the specific Financial Reporting Standards have been followed where their requirements differ from those of the FRSSE.

Advantage has been taken of Section 396(5) of The Companies Act 2006 to allow the format of the financial statements to be adapted to reflect the special nature of the charity's operation and in order to comply with the requirements of the SORP. The charity has taken advantage of the exemption in the FRSSE from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement.

The particular accounting policies adopted are set out below.

Accounting convention

The financial statements are prepared, on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention.

The charity is entirely dependent on continuing grant aid and as a consequence the going concern basis is also dependent on the continuing grant aid.

Incoming Resources

Incoming resources are accounted for on a receivable basis.

Except as described under the 'Deferred Income' accounting policy all grants, including grants for the purchase of fixed assets , are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they are receivable.

Investment income

Dividends are included in the income and expenditure account when they are declared at an amount which includes the tax credit recoverable from the Inland Revenue. Rental income is included in the income and expenditure account net of collection charges on a receivable basis.

Bank Interest received is included on an actual receipts basis.

13

Warrington Mencap Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 September 2024

Deferred income

In accordance with the SORP grants received in advance and specified by the donor as relating to specific accounting periods or alternatively which are subject to conditions which are still to be met, and which are outside the control of the charity or where it is uncertain whether the conditions can or will be met, are deferred on an accruals basis to the period to which they relate. Such deferrals are shown in the notes to the accounts and the sums involved are shown as creditors in the accounts.

Recognition of liabilities

Liabilities are recognised on the accruals basis in accordance with normal accounting principles, modified where necessary in accordance with the guidance given in the SORP.

Resources Expended

The policy for including items within the relevant activity categories of resources expended is accounted for on an accruals basis and aggregated under costs related to that category. In particular the policy for including items within costs of generating funds, charitable activities and governance costs is

Costs of generating funds

The costs of raising and generating funds shall include dealing costs, and management and advisory fees incurred in respect of investment management .

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure shall include all expenditure directly related to the objects of the charity including the following :

The cost of goods and services and ancillary trading costs that have been incurred in charitable activities. The Manager and Associate Manager are involved with project development and therefore the relevant salary costs are treated as direct charitable expenditure.

Governance costs

Governance costs include all expenditure directly related to the administration of the charity including expenditure incurred in the management of the charity's assets, organisational administration and compliance with charitable and statutory requirements.

Allocation of costs within types of resources expended

The methods and principles for the allocation and apportionment of all costs between the different activity categories of resources set out above are :-

The methods and principles for the allocation and apportionment of all costs between the different activity categories of resources set out above are based on the test of whether a cost directly contributes to the particular related source of income. Such identifiable costs are apportioned to the specific activity, whereas all other costs are allocated to support costs of charitable activities. Resources expended include attributable VAT which cannot be recovered.

14

Warrington Mencap Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 September 2024

Unrealised and realised gains

Realised gains and losses are included in the accounts on the date at which a contractual obligation is entered into. Unrealised gains and losses are computed by reference to the market value of the investments at the balance sheet date, compared to the brought forward cost or valuation, and gains and losses arising on similar categories of investments are netted off.

Fixed assets and depreciation

All tangible fixed assets, except freehold land and buildings, are stated at cost less depreciation. Freehold land and buildings are stated at a valuation arrived at by a professionally qualified firm of valuers, who valued the assets on the basis of open market value in current use.

Items of less than £100 are not capitalised.

Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets (less their estimated residual value ) over their estimated useful economic lives.

Plant and machinery 20% reducing balance

A regular annual review of the likelihood of asset impairment is undertaken.

Taxation

As a registered charity, the company is exempt from income and corporation tax to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purposes only. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the company , and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Finance and operating leases

Rentals payable in respect of operating leases where substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lesser are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as incurred. Finance leases are accounted for in accordance with the requirements of the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (FRSSE), effective April 2008.

Funds structure policy

The charity maintains a general unrestricted fund which represents funds which are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. Such funds may be held in order to finance both working capital and capital investment.

Restricted funds have been provided to the charity for particular purposes, and it is the policy of the board of trustees to carefully the monitor the application of those funds in accordance with the restrictions placed upon them.

15

Warrington Mencap Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 September 2024

A fixed asset fund is maintained which represents the written down value of tangible fixed assets, and is divided into a restricted fixed asset fund representing the written down value of those assets subject to restrictions, with the balance being in a designated fund representing the written down value of those assets free of restrictions. The detailed operation of these funds is described under the accounting policy ' Capital grants'

There is no formal policy of transfer between funds or on the allocation of funds to designated funds, other than that described above.

Any other proposed transfer between funds would be considered on the particular circumstances.

2 Winding up or dissolution of the charity

If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.
