Incoming resources
Recognition of Incoming Resources
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the Charity becomes entitled to the resources; the Trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and The monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Incoming Resources with Related Expenditure
Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising Contract or investment income) the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SOFA.
