The Brid e at Waterloo Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 Deccmber 2024 ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basls of preparlng the financlal statements The flnancial statements of the charitsble company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prcparLd in accordancc with the Charities SORP IFRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practi¢e applicable to charities pr¢paring their accounts in accordance with the Financial Rcporting Standard applicable in the UK and R¢public of Ireland {FRS 102) (¢ffcctive l January 2019),, Financial R¢porting Standard 102 'The Financial Rcporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. Principle Activity The principal activity of the charity is to develop and execute projects and activities, on its own and in collaboration with partners, that enhance social Cohesion and develop individual economic and social participation, where possible through heritage and the Arts. In order to do this we utilise any grant income we receiv¢. Legal status Thc cbarity is a Company limited by 8uarantce and has no share capital. The liability of cach member in the event of winding-up is limited to £10. Going Concern TBAW continu¢d to deliver its projects and camc through the year with a surplu5 of income over expenditure of £12,445 (2023 deficit £6.101) and free reserves of £21,260 (2023 £20,124. TBA W is no longer responsible for managing and letting St John's and St John's Andrew's Churches, and so will continu¢ to dcvelop and deliver its projccts and make applications to grant giving bodies to support this. The Trustees have concluded that due to the Continuing support of the PCC and its r¢s¢ryes, TBA W is in a sound financial position for the future. Income All income is recognised in the Statement of FiT)ancial Activities once the charity has cntillement to the funds, it is probablc that the income will be received and thc amount can be measured reliably. Expendlture Llabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a l¢gal or cOnStctive obligatlon committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of cconomic benefits will be required in scttlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is account¢d for on accruals basis and has been classified undcr headings that aggregate all cosi r¢lat¢d to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basi8 eonsistenl with the use of resources. Debtors Short tern] debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairn]ent. IA)an8 receivable are m¢asured initially at fair valu¢, n¢t of transaction costs, and arc mcasured subs¢quently al amortiscd cost using the effective inter¢5t m¢thod, less any impainnent. Cash at bank and in hand Page 19 continued...
The Brid ¢ at Waterloo Notes to the Financial Statcmcnts - continued for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued Expendlture Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not mor¢ than 24 hours. Cath equivalents are higbly liquid invcstments that mature in no niore than three months fron] ihe date of acquisition and that ar¢ r¢adily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value. Credltors and provlslons Short terni creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities. including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequentty at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Financial Instruments The Company only enters into basic financial instniments transactions that result in the recognition of fjnancial assets and liabilities like tradc and othcr dcbior8 and crcdilors, lo&ns from banks and oth¢r third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares. Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and oth¢r a¢¢ounts r¢¢¢ivable and payablc, arc initially measured al present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt insttuments thal are payable OT receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, inilially and subsequelltly* at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected lo be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-terni instrLllnent constitute a financing transa¢tioll, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond nornydl business tern]s or hnanced at ratc of interest that is not a m&rket TAte or in case of an out-right short-tenn loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability 18 measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discount¢d at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrunient and subsequently at amortised cost. Taxatlon The clwity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. Fund Accountlng Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discrction of the trustees.
