**RELIGIOUS OF THE SACRED HEART OF MARY IMMACULATE VIRGIN, EAP Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 August 2023** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Practice applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) second edition effective 1 January 2019. 

The functional currency of the Charity is considered to be GBP because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Charity operates. 

The Charity is a Public Benefit Entity registered as a charity in England and Wales charity number: 228365. 

## **a) Basis of preparation** 

The accounts are prepared under the historical cost convention. 

## **b) Going concern** 

The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future and consider that there were no material uncertainties over the Charity's financial viability. Accordingly, they also continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements as outlined in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities on page 4. 

## **c) Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

In the application of the accounting policies, Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates, and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual result may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affected current and future periods. The key estimate in the charity's financial statements is depreciation, which is based on an estimation of each asset's useful economic life. 

In the view of the Trustees, no assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year. 

## **d) Tangible fixed assets** 

Fixed assets are stated at cost or deemed cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. 

Depreciation is calculated by the following methods at the following rates:- 

Building improvements 10% p.a straight line Science and Sports Centres, Our Lady's Hall and St Joseph's Hall 2% p.a straight line 

## **e) Debtors** 

Rent receivable is measured at transaction price. 

## **f) Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash is made of solely cash at bank. 

## **g) Creditors** 

Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount. 

## **h) Funds** 

Unrestricted general funds are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the Trustees. 

8 



## **RELIGIOUS OF THE SACRED HEART OF MARY IMMACULATE VIRGIN, EAP Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 August 2023** 

## **i) Income recognition** 

All income is recognised once the chanty has entitlement to income, it is probable that income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably. 

## **j) Expenditure recognition** 

Expenditure consists of grants, premises support and financing costs, which are allocated areas of activity in line with the level of direct costs for each area of activity. 

Grants payable are accounted for when either the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive the grant or the Trustees have agreed to pay the grant without condition.
