**NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020** 

## 1.05 Investments 

Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with changes recognised in 'net gains I (losses) on . investments' in the SoFA if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably. Other investments are measured at cost less impairment. 

Current asset investments are short term highly liquid investments and are held at fair value. These include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity of less than one year. 

## 1.06 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 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. 

## 1.07 Going Concern 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern. Whilst the current difficulties relating to Covid-19 have affected the Charity's ability to meet, and operate, the Trustees are of the opinion that there is no matter affecting the Going Concern policy. The investment approach taken by the Foundation has proved adequately resilient to market fluctuations induced by Covid in the latter part of the financial year. 

## 1.08 Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty 

There are no major judgements or assumptions relating to estimates that are required to be disclosed in the preparation of these financial statements. 

## 1.09 Financial assets and liabilities 

Financial instruments are recognised in the statements of financial activities when the Charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial instruments are initially measured at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction which includes transaction costs for financial instruments not subsequently measured at fair value. 

Financial instruments are classified as either 'basic' or 'other' in accordance with Chapter 11 of FRS102. 

At the end of each reporting period, basic financial instruments are measured at amortised cost using the effective rate method. All financial instruments not classified as basic are measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period with the resulting changes recognised in income or expenditure. Where the fair value cannot be reliably measured, they are recognised at cost less impairment. 

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from assets expire, or when the Charity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. Financial liabilities are derecognised only once the liability has been extinguished through discharge, cancellation or expiry.
