## **Note 2                           Accounting policies** 

## **INCOMING RESOURCES** 

**Recognition of incoming** These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: **resources**  the charity becomes entitled to the resources;  the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and  the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. **Incoming resources with** Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) **related expenditure** the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SoFA. **Grants and donations** Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources. **Tax reclaims on donations** Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SoFA at the same time as the gift to **and gifts** which they relate. **Contractual income and** This is only included in the SoFA once the related goods or services have been delivered. **performance related grants** Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the **Gifts in kind** amount actually realised. Gifts in kind for sale or distribution are included in the accounts as gifts only when sold or distributed by the charity. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. **Donated services and** These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources **facilities** expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material _._ The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received. The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the **Volunteer help** trustees’ annual report. **Investment income** This is included in the accounts when receivable. **Investment gains and losses** This includes any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. **EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES Liability recognition** Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources. **Governance costs** Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters. **Grants with performance** Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service **conditions** or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. **Grants payable without** These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are **performance conditions** no conditions to be met relating to the grant which remain in the control of the charity. **Support Costs** Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. **ASSETS Tangible fixed assets for use** These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £500.  They **by charity** are valued at cost or a reasonable value on receipt. **Investments** Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange are valued at market value at the year end.  Other investment assets are included at trustees' best estimate of market value. 

**Stocks and work in progress** These are valued at the lower of cost or market value.
