Critical a£counting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of ihe charity's accounting policies, the irustee is required to make judgements, estimates and
assurnptionb about the carrying amounl Lif assets and liabilitieb that are not readily apparent from Llther sources.
Th¢ cstimatcs and associatcd assumptions ar¢ based on historical ¢xpcricnc¢ and oth¢r factors that ar¢

Key judgements and estimates
The trnstee doe8 not con8ider there are any sources of e%timation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a
ignificant ri%k of cau%ing a n￿terIal adjustment to the carying amount% of a%set.% and liabilities within the next
reporting peTlOd.
Ineomt
All incoTne is recogni5ed once the chaiity ha5 entitlement to the incoTne, it 15 pi"obable that the incoine will be
received, and the aniount of income receivable can be Tnea5uied reliably.
Interest on funds held on dep05lt l5 included when iectivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the
charity,. this is norn]ally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
Dividends are reLognised unce the dividend has been deLlared and reLeived.
Expendlture
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligaiion committing the
charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in seitlenieni and
the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounied for on an accruals basis and has
been classified under headings thai aggregaie all cosi relaied to the category. Where costs cannot be directly
aiiributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activiiies on a basis consistent wilh ihe use of
resources.
Grants offered subje¢t to ¢onditions which ha￿'e not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but
not accrued as expenditure.
