process of applying the entity's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on
the amounts recognised in the financial statements are as follows..
Investment valuations
Investments held by the PCC are listed and therefore are independently valued at market value.
Impairment of tangible fixed assets
The PCC is required lo review fixed assets for impairment. The members make judgments about
the condition of assets and review their eslimaled lives. Key sources of eslimalion uncertainly
Accounting eslimales and assumptions are made concerning the future and, by their nature, will
rarely equal the related actual outcome, The key assumptions and other sources of estimation
uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment lo the carrying amounts
of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows..
The useful economic life of each category of fixed asset is assessed when acquired by the PCC.
A degree of estimation is ouasionally used in assessing the useful economic life of assets.
Fund *¢countlng
Unreslricled funds are available for use al the discretion of the trustees to further any of the
charity's purposes.

Imp•lrment of flxed 088et8
A review ft)r indicators of impaiment is carried out at each reporting date. with the recoverable
amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the
recoverable amount. the asset is impaired accordingly. Plior impairments are also reviewed for
possible reversal al each reporting dale.
For the purposes of impaimenl testing, when il is not possible lo estimate the recoverable
amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the
eash-generating unil lo which the asset belongs. The cash-generaling unil is the smallest
identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely
independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the
acquisition dale, allocated lo each of the cash-generaling units that are expected to benefit from
the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity
are assigned to those units.

Contributions lo defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which

that the prepayment will lead lo a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
When contributions are not expected lo be settled wholly within 12 months of Ihe end of the
reporting dale in which the employees render the felaled service, the liability is measured on a
discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in
the period in which il arises.
