1 Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

Marshfield Consolidated Charities (Almshouses) is a registered Charity Number 204281 and is also registered with Homes England registered number A0318.

A description of the nature of the Charity's operations and its principal activity is disclosed in the Report of the Trustees. The Charity's registered office is stated on page 1.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice for Social Housing Providers 2014, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102).

The Almshouse Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The Trustees consider there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in the financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

Turnover

Housing properties

The Almshouses were constructed in the early Seventeenth Century and there is no record of the original cost and no value has been attributed thereto.

Marshfield Consolidated Charities (The Crispe Almshouses) Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022

Depreciation

Depreciation of building improvements is charged so as to write down the net book value to the estimated residual value on a straight line basis over their estimated useful economic lives or the lives of the structure to which they relate, if shorter, at the following expected lives:

Years
Structure 100
Roofs 70
Windows and doors 30
Bathrooms 30
Kitchens 20
Electrical 40
Boilers 15

Works to Existing Housing Properties

The Charity capitalises expenditure on housing properties which increases the net rental stream over the life of the property. An increase in the net rental stream may arise through an increase in rental income, a reduction in future maintenance costs or a significant extension of the life of the property.

Investments

Investments are shown at market value. Investment income is accounted for when the income is received.

Cyclical Repairs and Maintenance

Marshfield Consolidated Charities Almshouses has established a regular programme of cyclical repairs and maintenance. Amounts are transferred to the Cyclical Repairs and Maintenance Reserves as considered necessary and drawn on to meet costs in excess of budgeted expenditure.

Extraordinary Repairs

Costs of extraordinary Repairs, unless representing improvements to the properties, are charged to the Income and Expenditure Account in the year in which they are incurred.

Value Added Tax

The Charity is not registered for VAT and consequently all income and expenditure where applicable are disclosed in the accounts inclusive of VAT.

Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash at Bank and in Hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of aquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

Significant Management Judgements and Estimation Uncertainties

The following are critical judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty that the Board has made in the process of applying the Charity's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

Identification of housing property components

The Charity accounts for its expenditure on housing properties using component accounting. Under component accounting, the housing property is divided into those major components which are considered to have substantially different useful economic lives. Judgment is used in allocating property costs between components (land, structure, kitchens, bathrooms etc.) and in determining the useful economic lives of each component.

Housing property depreciation is calculated on a component by component basis. The identification of such components is a matter of judgement and may have material impact on the depreciation charge. The comonents selected are those which reflect how the major repairs to the property are managed.

Amortisation of Government Grants

Government grants received for housing properties are recognised in income over the useful life (as identified for the depreciation charge) of the housing property structure (excluding land), on a pro rata basis under the accrual model.

2 Trustees' Emoluments

None of the Trustees received any emoluments. Neither were they reimbursed any expenses.
