MUSWELL HILL METHODIST CHURCH
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 August 2024
l. Accounting Policles
The priftcipal accounting policies adopted judgements and key sources of e5timatyon uncertainty in the preparation of the
financial statements ￿ as follows:
Basls of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 20112nd in accordance wtth Ihe Charities Statement of
Recommended Prdctice {Charities SORP {FRS 102)) ar7d Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102)- The financial statements
are drawn up on the historical cost basis of accounting except for the revaluation of freehold land and buildings which are
shovffl at frdir value.
The financial statements indude all transaaions assets and liabilitses for vthith the Church is responsible in Saw. They do not
include the accounts of church groups that owe an affilittyon to another or those that are infornial gatherings of Church
members.
The Church meets the definityon of a public benefrt entiry under FRS 101
Going Concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charl￿S ability to conttnue as a going concern and accordingly the accounts
have been drawn up on a going concern basis.
Income recognition
Voluntary income and donations {in¢lu¢fing legacies) are accounted for once the Churth has entitlement to the income, it is
probable the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be reliably measured. Income from the
recovery of tax on gift aided donations is accounted for in the period to which the relevant donation is received. Grant income
is recogni5ed on a receIva￿e basis.
The income from trading act￿￿eS indudes rental income from the letting of Church premises and freehold land and buildings
which is accountrd for when earned.
Interest on fvnds held on deposit is included when receiyable and the amount Can be measured reliably by the Church- this is
normally upon notification of the interest paid or tAyable by the ban
Expenditur¢ recognition
Expenditure 15 accrued as 500n a5 a liability is considered prob2bl< and the amount of obtÈgation can be measured reliabty.
Longer term liaixlities are discounted to present valLte. The Church is not r￿stered for VAT and accordingty expenditure
includes VAT where appropr4te.
Charitable expenditure includes those costs in fulfilling the Church's principal objects. as outlined in the Report of the Church.
These include grnnts payable and governance cosrs..
Grants payable are ￿Yments made to third parries in furtherdnce of the Church'5 obiecrs. In the ose ofan uncondltlonal
grant offer this is accrued once the wÈpienr has been notified of the grnnt award. The notification wves the recipient a
reasonable expectation that they wll receive the sr4nL Grants avord5 that are subjett to the recipient fuifi115ng
performance conditions are only accrued when the recipient has been notified of the grant and any remaining unfulfilled
condition attaching to that 8fdnt is outside of the control of the Church.
Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountatiliry of the Churth and its compliance viith regulation
and good Pfdctice. These costs include costs related to the independent examination and legal fee5.
