## LEEDS DIOCESE CHARITABLE SOCIETY TRUST NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 

## 1. ACCOUNTING POLICY 

## Basis of accounting 

The financial statements are prepared under the historic cost convention as modified by the revaluation of investments in accordance with applicable accounting standards and the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities. 

## Investments 

Investments are stated at Bid Market Value. Realised and Unrealised gains/losses are reflected in the statement of Financial Activities. 

## Reserves 

The Reserves Policy sets target free reserves at 3 months of expected expenditure. Given that grants are approved by the Trustees on an application basis and would not ordinarily exceed the annual income of circa £21,000, free reserves are significantly above the required level.
