A church where lives are being transformed, marriages are being saved, and love is flowing freely. Our vision and mission is to equip every believer for a significant ministry by helping them to discover the gifts and talents God gave them. We are a small well connected congregation which reaches out to others - we love our local community and share the good news of Jesus Christ and through many outreach activities, thanks to the efforts of our congregation.

The Church - Potter's Palace Ministries went through bereavement period for the loss of its Founder, Director, Chair Trustee and senior Pastor, Pas Abraham Charles Ebenezer Immanuel.

Sunday school for toddlers and tweens

Young children around the community join on Sundays and learn good ethical values and morals based on Biblical principles. Sunday school volunteers encourage and motive them through various activity sessions on improving their behaviours and teach them social skills. The team works with children who have opened their heart to talk about issues in family, schools, low self-esteems, by giving them support through counselling and constant encouragement to build a good future ahead. They learn singing, dancing, small skits and perform in front of the large audience through which they develop self-confidence and independence. We have seen children's quality of life been improved through such work. Vocational activities are facilitated during the holiday period; swimming, picnic in the park, movie time for the children in the community along with fun bible teachings.

YOUNG ADULT (WILD FOR JUNIOR & SENOIR GROUP)

The young adults of the church are given opportunity to lead to small sessions in Sunday services once in a week to develop their spiritual maturity and talents and take lead which will give them boldness and good leadership skills for the betterment of their careers. Many youngsters who were depressed due to family struggles and separation are given guidance and support through counselling session. Youngsters who are socially withdrawn are continually supported. The young adults who have issues related to addiction, involved in gang fights and socially neglected and those with family

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is charged on an accrual basis, inclusive of Value added Tax which cannot be recovered and allocated to the appropriate headings in the accounts.

Support costs

Support costs are those costs which are common to all areas of the organisation. These are allocated across all areas of activity on the basis of an estimate of the proportion of time spent by staff on those activities.

Governance costs

Governance costs are associated with the governance arrangements of the charity and relate to the general running of the charity. These costs include audit, legal advice for Trustees and costs associated with meeting constitutional and statutory requirements such as the cost of Trustee meetings and the preparation of the statutory accounts.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Plant and Machinery - 25% reducing balance Equipment - 25% reducing balance

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Government grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.

Where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as either financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial instruments

Trade and other debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised initially at transaction price plus attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, trade and other debtors that are classified as receivable within one year are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be received net of impairment.

Trade and other creditors

Trade and other creditors are recognised initially at transaction price less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition trade and other creditors that are classified as payable within one year are measured at the discounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related 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 it arises.

20. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

Useful economic lives of tangible assets

The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets.
