Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition Debtors 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.

The charity 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 investments and cash equivalents with a maturity of loss than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short-term cash commitments as they fall due.
