sources. The estimates and assoclèted a5sumption5 are based on historScal eKperlence and other factors that
are consldered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estlmates.
The estlmates and underlying assumptions are revlewed on an ongoing basis. Rev15ion5 to accountlng
estimates are recognised In the periods in whlch the estimate is revlsed where revisSons affects only that

- The donor has imposed condltions whlch must be met before the charSty has uncondFtlonal entltlement.
Expendlture
All expenditure is reco8nlsed once there Is a le8al or constructive obllgatlon to that expenditure, it is probable
settlement is required and the amount can be measured rellably. All costs are allocated to the applicable
expenditure headlng that aggregate simllar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attrlbuted to
partlcular headings they have been allocated on a basls consistent with the vse of resource5, wlth central staff
cost5 allocated on the basls of time spent, and depreciation charge5 allocated on the portion of the assevs use.
