**TACKLE AFRICA (company number 07328452)** 

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 December 2023** 

## **1. Statutory Information** 

Tacke Africa is a private company limited by guarantee.  The charity's registered company number, registered charity number, registered office and the nature of its activities can be found in the Trustees Report. 

The presentation currency of the financial statements is Pounds Sterling (£).  The level of rounding in the accounts is to the nearest pound. 

## **2. Accounting policies** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

These financial statements consolidate, on a line by line basis, the results of the charitable company and TackleAfrica Zambia over which the charitable company has control due to having some Trustee Directors in common.  Transactions and balances between the charitable company and its subsidiary have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements.  Balances between the two companies are disclosed in the notes of the charitable company's balance sheet.  A separate statement of financial activities, or income and expenditure account, for the charitable company itself is not presented because the charitable company has taken advantage of the exemptions afforded in section 408 of the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

No critical accounting judgements have been made in the process of applying the accounting policies below. 

There are no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Future forecasts and business plans have been considered in coming to this conclusion, including the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

## **Government grants** 

Government grants are recognised under the performance model. The grant income is recognised upon performance conditions being satisfied (and should it be received in advance of satisfying the performance, recognition of the income is deferred as a liability) and where there are no specific future performance-related conditions then grants are recognised when proceeds are received or receivable. 

## **Donations** 

For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled. 

No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102). 

## **Trading activities** 

Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred. 

## **Charitable Activities** 

The charity receives corporate grants in respect of agreed projects. Income from grants is recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 December 2023** 

## **2. Accounting policies - continued** 

## **Allocation and apportionment of costs** 

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs and governance costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. 

Fund-raising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

|Motor vehicles|- 25% on cost|
|---|---|
|Equipment|- 33% on cost|



Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. 

## **Fixed Asset Investments** 

Investments are stated at fair value at the balance sheet date.  The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations throughout the year.  All gains and losses are calculated at the difference between the market value at the balance sheet date and the opening market value ( or purchase value if the date is later). 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of Schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010.  It therefore meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. 

## **Fund Accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Financial Instruments** 

The charity holds financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments.  Basic financial instruments include debtors and creditors 

## **Debtors and creditors** 

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure. 

## **Foreign Currency** 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into sterling using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions.  Monetary items, assets and liabilities are retranslated at the rate prevailing at the balance sheet date.  Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the retranslation are recognised in the statement of financial activities. 

## **Pensions** 

The charity operates to a defined contribution pension plan on behalf of all qualifying staff to Tackle Africas Aviva pension scheme in the UK and NAPSA in Zambia. Contributions to the plan are recognised in the period in which contributions are due.  The assets of the scheme are held separately from those if the charity in an independently administered fund.
