2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.14 FUND ACCOUNTING
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Governors in furtherance of the general objectives of the Group and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Governors for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Group for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND AREAS OF JUDGEMENT
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:
The charity makes estimates and assumptions concering the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will be, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Social investment and fixed asset investment valuations
These investments are initially recorded at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment, as stated in the accounting policy for investments above.
Defined benefit pension schemes
The valuation of the Teacher's Pension Scheme (TPS) and Independent Schools Pension Scheme both defined benefit schemes depend on a number of factors that are disclosed in detail in note 26.
