| Incoming resources with | Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) |
| related expenditure | the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SoFA. |
| Grants and donations | Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the charity has unconditional |
| entitlement to the resources. | |
| Tax reclaims on donations | Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SoFA at the same time as the gift to |

| distributed by the charity. | |
| Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as incoming resources when | |
| receivable. | |
| Donated services and | These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources |
| facilities | expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material_._ |
| The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or | |
| facility received. | |
| Volunteer help | The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. |
| Investment income | This is included in the accounts when receivable. |
| Investment gains and losses | This includes any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from |

| performance conditions | no conditions to be met relating to the grant which remain in the control of the charity. |
