The Disabled Golf Associalion Notes to the accounts Year ended 28 Febwary 2023 1. Statutory InfOnatIOn The Charity is a charitable incorporated organisation registered with the Charty Commission in England & Wales. The Chantys registered number is 1184422. 2. Accounting Policies The aGGounts have been prepared under the histori¢ cost nventiOn, in aGGordance with the Statement of Recommended Pra¢ti¢e: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and wilh the Charities Act 2011. The Chaiity meets the definrtion of a Publ benefrt entsty as set out in FRS 102. The Chartties {Accounts and Reports) Regulations 21M)8 (the .2008 Regulations.) requires charities to prepare their accounts in accordance with 'Accounting and Reporting by Charitiés". Statement of Recommendéd Practice effectiv8 from 1 April 2005, but this accounting stsndard has since been withdrawn and has been replaced by the Charities SORP mentioned in the preceding paragraph. The Charty has prepared these financlal stalements in accordance with the new Charrties SORP; this departure from the 2008 Regulations is believed to be necessary for these financial ststements to give a Irue and fair vievl. 3. Going Concern The accounts have been prepared on the going concern basi%, as there are no material uncertainties about the Chaniys abilty to conts'nue. Based on the adequacy of thè CharitV8 r888rvas a8 at th8 balance sh8at data. along with their knowledge of the Chanty's abilty to meet bills. payments and other liabilrties a8 they fall due. the Trustees have a reasonable expectation Ihat the Charty has sufflent sourceS to continue in operatK)nal existence for the foreseeable future. The followlng are the accounting poIleS which have been applled In deallng wtth rnalerlal items:_
5ncoTning Resources Incoming resources are recognised gross on a receipts and payments basis, and are allocated to the Unrestricted Fund unless gifted on the basis of rtain restrictions. There re no such reslrictions in the year under review. Outgoing Resources Outgoing resources are recognised gross on a receipts and payments basis, and are allocated against the General Fund unless incurred specifically for the pury)oses of any nominated fund. There were no Specif payments in the period under review. Funds General funds are unrestricted funds which are avallable for use at the dis¢retion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charrty. DeSnated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donats'ons vthich affj to be used in accordance with spe¢ffic restrictions imposed by donors., they include donations received from appeals for specific actNities or projects. EndovMent funds are donations that are retained as capital in accordance wtth the donorfs wishes. The nature of the restriction detennines whether the endowments represent permanent or expendable endowrnents. The chaiity solely had unrestricted funds In the period under review. Critical Accounting Estimates and Areas of Judgment The Trustees do not cons¥Jer that there are any material sources of estimation or uncertainty at the balance sheet date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the next Teporting period. Guarantees The charity has not gNen any guarantees In the period under revlew and there are no outstanding guarantees at the balance sheet date. Outstanding debts There were no debts outstsnding at the balance sheet date.
