They are valued at cost. **Investments** Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost  and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end.  The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments 

**Stocks and work in** Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net **progress** realisable value. 

Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock. 

Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract. 

Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity.  Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. 

## **Debtors** 

The charity has has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and **Current asset** cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit and **investments** cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short term cash commitments as they fall due. 

They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments.
