**The Dusty Yak Foundation NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) for the year ended 31 January 2025** 

## **3 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 

## **INCOMING RESOURCES** 

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reasonably measured.  The following specific 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 measured reliably.  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 classified 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 classified under 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 charity 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 charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. 

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource.  Direct costs attributable 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.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

**The Dusty Yak Foundation NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 January 2025** 

## **1 GENERAL INFORMATION** 

The charity is a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales.  The address of the registered office is Sequel House, The Hart, Farnham, Surrey,  GU9 7HW 

## **2 STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE** 

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS102)) and the Charities Act 2011. 

## **3 ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **BASIS  OF PREPARATION** 

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through the income or expenditure account. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the entity. 

## **GOING CONCERN** 

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue. 

## **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. 

## **FUND ACCOUNTING** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future projects or commitments. 

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

## **3 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 

## **INCOMING RESOURCES** 

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reasonably measured.  The following specific 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 measured reliably.  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 classified 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 classified under 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 charity 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 charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. 

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource.  Direct costs attributable 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.

## **3 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 

## **FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS** 

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transactions costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. 

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

## **LIMITED BY GUARANTEE**
