Notes forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021
1 Accounting Policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014, and with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and with the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value.
Recognition of income
Income is included in the Income and expenditure account when:
-
the charity becomes entitled to the resources
-
it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and
-
the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Income from interest, royalties and dividends
This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.
Income from membership subscriptions
Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies.
Investment gains and losses
This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.
Tangible fixed assets for use by charity
These are initially valued at cost and subsequently depreciated using the rates and methods disclosed in note 8.
Investments
Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end.
Stocks
Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock.
Debtors
Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the value of cash or other consideration expected to be received.
Creditors
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.

The income from the Inglis Fund is used to pay the costs of affiliation with the LMRA.
The Hoskier Rifle was founded at the commencement of the club by the relatives and friends of the late Frank Harold Hoskier, a member of the 3rd Middlesex Artillery Volunteers, who was killed in action near Stormberg South Africa on 23rd February 1900. A fund was established to purchase a rifle for the annual winner of the competition. As of today the rule is that you must use the cash to purchase rifle equipment. No claims have been made on the Hoskier Rifle Fund for several years.
The Paul/Tucker Prize Fund was established by Chris Paul and Hamish Tucker to assist younger shooters and to ensure that SERC members recognised the club on their entries to the the Imperial Meeting.
