Notes to the accounts
Note 1. Accounting policies
1.1 Basis of accounting
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. 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
-
and with the Charities Act 2011.
1.2. Going Concern
There are no uncertainties related to events or conditions that cast doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
1.3 Income
1.3.1 Recognition of income
Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities 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.
1.3.2 Offsetting
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
1.3.3 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).
1.3.4 Government grants
The charity has received no government grants in the reporting period.
1.3.5 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 specified otherwise.
1.3.6 Support costs
The charity has incurred no expenditure on support costs.
1.3.7 Income from interest, royalties and dividends
This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.
1.4 Expenditure and Liabilities
1.4.1 Liability recognition
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.
1.4.2 Creditors
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.
1.4.3 Provisions for liabilities
A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.
1.5 Assets
1.5.1 Property
Property purchased for use by charity is valued at cost, less any impairment, which will be reviewed every three years. No depreciation is applied to property.
1.5.2 Debtors
Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at
4
The ASAMAA Charitable Trust
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.
1.5.3 Depreciation
Property values will be reviewed every three years. Fixed assets in the property will be depreciated over 10 years.
1.6 Reserves policy
The charity’s policy on reserves is to generate and maintain a level of financial resources which is sufficient, in the interests of meeting its objectives, to develop new and innovative projects to achieve its charitable objects and where appropriate to implement these projects. Given the nature of these projects, which may spread over a number of years, the charity may need to retain reserves to ensure the funding necessary to maintain such projects on an on-going basis. For these purposes the charity will continue to periodically review the financial resources it is holding and not enter into financial (or other resource) commitments for which the necessary funding is not assured. At the time of this report, while the charity has unrestricted cash the trustees are developing plans to ensure that these resources are used to enhance and expand its services to its beneficiaries in accordance with its charitable objects.
Note 2. Analysis of Income
2.1 Donations
All donations were made by the founding trustees.
2.2 Gift Aid
All donations were made under a valid Gift Aid declaration and enable Gift Aid to be claimed.
