Tho Charity ¢x)nstitutes a public benefft entrty as defined by FRS 102. Critical estimates and judgements The most signthcant areas of judgement and key assumptions that affect items in the fin8naal ststements are in relalk)n lo: The charty's investment property valuation. The investment propety portion is carried at the last fomial Valuati conducted in 2017, and as such this is only an estimate of the current value of this wrtion of the property. The charity did not obtain an updated valuation for its investrnent property at 31 March 2022. as il was thought that a reliable valuation woukl be hard to obtsin given ongoing UnrtaInty in the commercid market.. Thè valuation of the liabilty in relation to the pension of the lormer employee in the prior year.. and The bad debt proVisn induded in respect of rental incorne in the prior year. With respect to the nexl reporting for the year ended 31 March 2023, Ihe most significant areas of uncertainty that affect the c8rying value of assets held by the charity are the level of investment return and Ihe perfornian of the investment markets. The Royal Theatrical Fund 23
Principal a¢¢ounting policies Year lo 31 AAarch 2022 Assessment of going ¢oncem The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concem assumption is appropriate in Preparing these financial statements. The Trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the dale of approval of these financial statements. Thè Trustees have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on Ihe ability of the charity to continue as a going concem. As set out in the Iru5tees' report, the trustees have Consered the impact of the pandemic on the charty and have concluded that although there may be some native consequences, il is appropriate for the charity lo continue to prepare ils accounts on the gThng rnncern basis. Income recognition Income is regnIsed in the per*)d in whi¢h the charity is entitled to receipt and tha amount can be measured reliabty and rt is probable that the Income will be received. Income is defeed onty when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to rt or where the donor or funder has specified that the income is to be expended in a lutufe accounting period. Income comprises donations, legacies, income from fiJndrai5ing events, investment income and other income. Donations are recognised when the chanty has confirniation of both the amount and settlement dale. In the event of donations pledged but not received, the amount is accrued for where the receipt is considered probable. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of pèrfomiance before the ¢harity is entilled lo the funds. the income is deferrwj and not recognised until erthèr those conditions a fully met. or lh8 luifilmenl of those Gonditions is wholly thin the control of the charity and it is probable thal those conditions will be lulfilled in Ihe reporting period. Legacies are included in the stalemenl of financial activities when the charity is enlilled lo the legacy. the executors have estsblished that there are sufficient surplus assets in the estate to pay the legacy. and any conditions attached lo the legacy are within the control of Ihe charity. Investment irwme in respect of listed investmenl is recognised once the dividend or intèrest has been declared and nobficalion has been rèceived of the amount dkjè. Investment income in respect of the charrty's investment property Irenl and servic9 charge) is recognised when receivab. Other Irading income is recognised to the extent that ti is probable that the economic benefrts will flow to the tharrty and Ihe revenue can LE reliabty measured. The Royal Theatrical Fund 24
Principal accountin9 policies Year to 31 March 2022 Expenditure Liabilities are C(jised as &xpenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation commith.ng the chanty to make a payment lo a third paty. il is probable that transfer of econofflic benefits will be required in setuement and the amount of the obligation can be rsred reliab. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. and is allocated lo the appropriate heading in the financial statements. Charttable expendf(ure comprise grants and financial assistance which is provmded for when approved by ts Trustees. The costs of raising funds comprise tl)ose cosls directly attributable to managing the eharity's investmerht portfolio, its investment propety {includin9 refvrbishment expenditure) and raising furmlraising bncome. Governance costs compn'se the costs of MplianCe with consliluts'onal antl statutory rUiTementS and in¢liJde the auditor's remuneration, and these are allocated within support cost lo a relevant expense category. Support Costs are those costs which enable fun¢J generatsng an¢J charitable activities lo be undertaken. Where acts'vibes in¢urred relate to more than one cost ¢8legory. it is appointed on the most appropriate b8515 and on a reasonable and consistent basis. A liabilty in relation to the pension for a former employee has been included in the finallcial statements at its nel present value. anij Is presented on the balance sheet as a pension liabilty (see re 141- Flnancial instruments The Charily only holds basic financial instnjments as defined in FRS 102. The financial assets and financial lialN"lits"es of the Charty and their measurement basis are as follows.. Financial assets- other debtors and accrue(l Iorne are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured al amortised cost as detailed in note 12. Prepayments are not financial instruments. Cash at bank- is dassffied as a basic ffinan(ial instrument and is MeaSud at face value. Financial liabmitS other Creditors. 8ccnJals and the pension liabilty are financial instruments. and are measured al arnortised cost as detsiled in notes 13. Deferred income is nol deemed lo be a financrdl liability. as the cash settlement has already taken place and there is an ob15gation lo deliver services rather than cash or another financial instrument.

Principal accounting policies Year to 31 March 2022 Investment property The property has no historical cost to the Charity as rt was 9ifted lo the Fund. The property is held at a valuation conducted in 2017. The charity did not obtsin a valuakn.on for rts investment property al 31 March 2022, as Il wa5 thought that a reliable valuation would tre hard to obtain given ongoing un¢ertainty in the commercial market. Any surplus or deficit arising is reflected within the statement of financial activities and Is re¢ognised in the reserves. Listed investm•nt$ Investments have been stated in the balance slwt at market value at th8 year end. Realised and unrealised gains and kjsses are shown in the statement of financial activities.

Those which arè not freehold property. i.e. office equipment, are depCIated on a straight line basis over Ihwr useful economic lrfe as follows: Office equipment- 33% per annum on cost. No depreciation is Provided on the Trust's freehold properbes as Tt is considered that there is no material drff8rence beeen the residual value of the freehold properties and their C8rrwng value. The economic Irf8 of the freehokl properties Is, in the Truslees. opinion, significantly greater than fifty years. It is thefore considered that any charge to depreciation on freehold properties would be Immaterial in the context of these financial stslemenls. The freehold pmperties were last revalued as at 31 March 2017. The car.ng values of these revalued assets a reviewed annually for impaimienl and no provisK)n for any impairment was made as at 31 March 2022.

Creditors and provisions Creditors and provisions are r8cognised when therè is an obligation 8t the balance sheet date 85 a result of a past event. il is probable that a transfer of eeonomic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
