Previously the income was recognised over the period of the fvnding agreements. typically three years. with the in¢ome recognised each year in line wf(h the receipt on the anniversary of the date of the agreement. The Charity believes that entiuement is provided by the agreemen( and so in accordance with the Charty SORP the income should be recognised on iption of the agreement with the corresponding debtor included wthin accrued income. The effect of th8 prior period adjustment is to record £570,000 income prior to the start of the comparative pencil, with a corresponding increase to accrued income as al 31 August 2018. In 2019 a net increase of £2,745,000 in income is re¢oJnised, with a corresponding increase to accrued income as at 31 Augusl 2019. 35
