The charity's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Charity’s Information page. ## 2. **ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. ## **Income** Income is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. ## **Taxation** Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. ## **Deferred tax** Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. ## 5. **CREDITORS: AMOUNTS FALLING DUE WITHIN ONE YEAR** ## 6. ||**£**| |---|---| |Accrued expenses|**360**| |**RESERVES**|| ||**Profit**| ||**and loss**| ||**account**| ||**£**| |Profit for the period|**2,922**| |At 31 August 2021|**2,922**| Page 5 ## **Chartered Certified Accountants' Report to the Board of Trustees on the Financial Statements of TASTE OF AFRICA (NORTH EAST)** In order to assist you to fulfil your duties under the Charities Act 2011, we have prepared for your approval the financial statements of TASTE OF AFRICA (NORTH EAST) for the period ended 31 August 2021 which comprise the Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and the related notes from the charity's accounting records and from information and explanations you have given us.
