Notes to The Financial Statements
1. Basis of Preparation
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value, with the exception of investments which are included at market value.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with: the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014; the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102); and, the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1 Income
-
Recognition of Income - income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the resources, it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
-
Grants and Donations - grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).
-
Tax Reclaims on donations and gifts - Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
-
Contractual Income and Performance Related Grants - this is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions.
2.2 Expenditure and Liabilities
-
Recognition of Liabilities - liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
-
Basic Financial Instruments - the charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 10.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP.
2.3 Debtors
-
Debtors include amounts owed to the charity for the provision of goods and services or amounts the charity has paid in advance for the goods and services it will receive. Debtors also include amounts receivable on grant funding to which the charity is entitled.
-
Debtors are measured at their recoverable amounts (the amount the charity anticipates it will receive from a debt or the amount it has paid in advance for goods or services).
2.4 Creditors
- The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.
