1.4 Grants Receivable
Grants for immediate expenditure are accounted for when they become receivable. Grants received for specific purposes are treated as restricted funds.
1.5 Grants Payable
Grants Payable are accounted for when they are paid.
1.6 Allocation of Costs & Restricted Fund Accounting
Costs have been allocated between charitable activity and governance costs Where items involve more than one fund they are apportioned between categories, and apportioned to fund based on the estimated expenditure of resource according to the nature of cost. 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 aim and use of restricted funds is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
