|1.3Incoming Resources<br>Planned<br>giving, collections<br>and similar donations<br>are recognised<br>when received. Tax refunds ars recognised<br>when the incoming resource to <br>they relate is received. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the PCC is entitled to the use of the resources,<br>their ultimate<br>receipt is<br>considered<br>reasonably<br>certain and the amounts<br>due are readily quantifiable.<br>Dividends<br>are accounted<br>for when declared receivable;<br>interest|which<br> as and|
|when accrued<br>by the payer.<br>All incoming resources ars accounted<br>for gross.||
|1.4 Resources Expended<br>Grants and donations<br>ars accounted for when paid over or when awarded<br>ifthat award creates a binding<br>or constructive<br>obligation<br>on the PCC.

|accounted for gross.||

|Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity ars capitalised<br>if they can be used for more ihan ons year and cost at least ft,000.They ars valued at<br>cost or else, for gifts-in-kind,<br>at a reasonable<br>estimate of their open market value on receipt.||
