THE HENRY GILDER DRAKE CHARITY NOTESTO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS- continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 ACCOUNTING POLICIES- contlnued 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.

Repalrs and Maintenance of Properties The charges in the Statement of Financial Activities in respect of cyclical maintenance and extraordinary repairs reflect the Trustees, constant concern to keep the properties in good condition, and are in accordance with the Almshouse Associations, recommendation that Almshouse Charities should set aside each year specific sums in this respect. Transfers are made from the Revenue Reserve each year to the Extraordinary Repair Reserve to cover extraordinary repairs as they arise and to the Cyclical Maintenance Reserve to cover repairs which arise on a cyclical basis.

Investments Investments are shown on the Balance Sheet at their market value. Changes in market value during an accounting period are reflected in the accounts as unrealised gains or losses. Upon disposal of an investment the difference between original cost and disposal proceeds is reflected in the accounts as a realised gain or loss and an adjustment is made to unrealised gains or losses to reverse unrealised movements in value in earlier years. Debtors Contributions and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of anytrade discounts due.
