The following specrfic policies are applied to particular categories of income.. income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably. in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classffied as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent. in which case it may be regarded as restricted. Resources expended Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classifred urmler headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities. events, non- charitable trading activities. and the sale of donated goods. expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charty in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries. including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charty nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. All Costs are allocated to expenditure categories refflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attribLrtable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis. Tangible assets Tanglble assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and irnpairment losses. Any tangible assets carrled at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. 12
County in the Community Company Llmited by Guarantee Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) Year ended 31 August 2024 Accounting policies (continued) Tangible assets fcontlnuod) An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless It reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses. except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain. in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities. 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: Fixtures and fittings Motor vehicles Equipment 25¥0 straight line 25% straight line 25¥0 straight line Impainn¢nt of fixed assets A review for indicators of impairment is carrled out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. For the purposes of impairment testing, when It Is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual assel. an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash- generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identrfiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely irKlependent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. For impairment testing of goodwill. the goodwill acquired in a business combination is. from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units. Financial instruments A financial asset or a financial liability 15 reGognised only en the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Baslc flnancial Instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs. Current assets and current IlabllltSes are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be pald or received and not discounted. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortlsed cost. 13
County in the Community Company Limited by Guarantee Notss to the Financial Statements (contlnued) Year ended 31 August 2024 A¢¢ounting policies (contlntmd) Flnancial instruments (continuad) Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. Other financial instruments, including derivatives. are initially recognised at fair value. unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a e5ignated hedging relationship. Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are revlewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there Ss objectlve evldence of Impairment, an impaimient loss is recognised under the appropriate headlng In the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised. For all equity instruments regardless of significan, and other financial assets that are individually signrfi¢ant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carying amount of the financial asset that eXedS what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. Deflned contrlbutlon plans ContribLrtions 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 emoYeeS 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.
