Critical accounting Judgement$ and key sources of estimation uncertaintv
In the application of the Charity's accoiinting policies. the Trustees are required to make judgements,
estiii)ates and assumptions about thc carrying amounts of assets 2nd liabiliti¢s that are not readily
apparent from other sources. Thc ¢5timates and associated assumptions ar¢ ba5¢d on histoiic21
experience and other filclurs that arc coiisidercd io be relevant. ActU<il results may differ from these
estimatcs. The eslimaies and underlying assumptions are rei'iewed on an ongoingi basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are re¢ognised the period in which the estimaie is revised if the rei'ision
affecis only ihat period. or in the P¢Tiod of the revision and future periods it the r¢vi5ion affects both
current and future periods.
The Trustees have concluded that lh¢ ¢ritical judgement in preparing the finan¢ial statements is the
valuation, uscful lifc, and depreciaiion policy of the Charity'5 buildings. The TNsiees hav¢ concluded
that th¢ Collcgc buildings are maintained to a high statc of rcpair and li is considered that thc residual
value rem2ins abov¢ cosi, accordingly no depreciation is Charged. The Trustees have eoncluded that
the Stonehou8e Yard buildings should be depreciated over fifty years representino their cstimaied
seful life.
