**These financial statements were approved and signed on behalf of the Committee on 12 February 2021** 




**BOLTON LOW HOUSES CHILDCARE UNIT** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020** 

## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of accounting and preparation** 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

Bolton Low Houses Childcare unit meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the notes to these accounts. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.  Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. 

## **Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported.  These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

## **Income recognition, donations and grants** 

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, there is sufficient certainty of receipt and so it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured. 

Income from donations and grants, including capital grants, is included in income when these are receivable, except as follows: 

- when donors specify that donations and grants given to the charity must be used in future accounting periods, the income is deferred until those periods. - when donors impose conditions which have to be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use such income, the income is deferred and not included in income until the preconditions for use have been met. 

When donors specify that donations and grants, including capital grants, are for particular restricted purposes, which do not amount to preconditions regarding entitlement, this income is included in income of restricted funds when receivable. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which may be used for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects.  Unresticted funds include designated funds, where the Management Committee at their discretion have designated funds for a specific purpose. 

Within the unrestricted funds of the project, funds have been designated for the following specific purpose: 

Strategic reserve - for expenditure in the event that there is a cut in funding. 

The general fund consists of those funds which the project may use in the furtherance of its charitable objectives at the discretion of the Management Committee. 

Restricted funds represent grants and donations which have been received for the purposes set out in notes 9 and 10. The application of these funds is restricted by the terms of a special appeal, the express wishes of the donor, the will of the testator or the terms of the grant. 



## **BOLTON LOW HOUSES CHILDCARE UNIT** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020** 

## **Expenditure recognition** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliabily.  All expenditure is accounted for on the accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.  Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred. 

Overheads and support costs have been allocated between Raising Funds and Charitable Activities.  The allocation is based on staff time and a proportion of the administration burden.  The allocation of overhead and support costs is analysed in the notes to the accounts. 

Termination payments do not provide an entity with future economic benefits therefore the charity recognises these immediately as an expense in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

Governance costs include the costs attributable to the charity's compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including independent examination and costs of trustees meetings. 

## **Pension costs** 

The charity has made arrangements with individual pension providers for individual pensions for staff who wish to make use of the opportunity.  Contributions payable to the pension schemes are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate. 

## **Fixed assets** 

All assets costing more than £500 are capitalised and all assets are valued at historic cost. 

## **Depreciation** 

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of an asset, less the estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset. 

## **Financial instruments** 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. All financial assets and liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price (including transaction costs).

examIn0￿$ 8tatom8nt by the Charity Commiss￿n. An examination includes a review of the
accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts
presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual
items or disclosures in th& accounts. and seeking explanations from the
trustees conceming any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not
provide all the evidence Ihal would be required in an audit. and
consequently no opinion is given as lo whether the accounts present a 'true
