TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTOR'S REPORT) (continued)
YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing Document
Shulem B. Association Limited is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 11th December 1961 and amended on 10th April 1995.
Appointment, Training and Recruitment of Trustees
As set out in the Articles of Association the members of the charity shall not exceed twenty-five. There are two classes of members:
Ordinary Members - subscribers and all persons subsequently admitted by the Council to membership. Honorary Members - persons the Council may admit from time to time with written consent.
No person shall be admitted to the membership of the company as an ordinary member unless:
-
that person has signed and sent to the Secretary an application for admission framed in such terms as the Council shall from time to time prescribe, and
-
that person has been elected to membership by the Council.
All current trustees are ordinary members and no honorary members have been appointed. The organisation is run by the governors who are the trustees. Every trustee holds office until death or shall cease to hold office by virtue of Article 49 of the Articles of Association.
It is not currently the intention of the trustees of the charity to appoint new trustees. Should the situation change in the future, the trustees will apply suitable recruitment and training procedures.
Employee and Trustee Remuneration
The charity has no staff other than the 3 trustees and secretary, all of whom give freely of their time and expertise without any form of remuneration or other benefit in cash or kind (2019: £nil).
The charity did not meet any expenses (2019: £nil) incurred by the trustees for services provided to the charity.
Group Structure and Relationships
The Charity holds the share capital of six subsidiary undertakings, namely Bitover Limited, Crown View Estates Limited, Davecourt Limited, Honeyvale Properties Limited, Lysville Limited and Tripknoll Limited.
All the subsidiary holdings are engaged in property investment, or are parent undertakings for property investment companies, and their results are incorporated in the consolidated financial statements.
Details of the subsidiary undertakings may be found in the note 20 to the financial statements.
Risk Management
The trustees have identified and reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finance of the charity and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate those risks.

YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020
Financial risk management and policies
The charity holds or issues financial instruments in order to achieve three main objectives being:
-
to finance its operations.
-
to manage its exposure to interest and currency risks arising from operations and from its sources of finance.
-
to generate funds.
In addition, various financial instruments (e.g. trade debtors, trade creditors, accruals and prepayments) arise directly from the charity's operations.
Credit risk
The charity monitors credit risk closely and considers that its current policies of credit risk checks meet its objectives of managing exposure to credit risk.
The charity has no significant concentrations of credit risk. Amounts shown in the balance sheet represent the maximum anticipated credit risk exposure.
It is recognised that systems can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed.
Covid-19 Pandemic
The trustees have considered the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the income of the charity and the valuation of its assets. The current downturn in the UK economy may lead to a fall in investment and dividend income of the group resulting in the charity limiting its grant making activities. The full financial effects of the pandemic on the valuation of assets cannot currently be quantified.
Notwithstanding the uncertainties mentioned, the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles appropriate to a going concern, as the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future by meeting its liabilities as they fall due, based on the net current asset position of the charity and available sources of finance. The Trustees recognise that they have the ability to exercise control over the charity's grant making charitable activities due to the absence of any legally binding obligations.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Charity Objects
The charity is established for charitable purposes only and (without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing words) in particular to do, perform and carry out all or any of the following objects:
-
to establish, provide and carry on whether in the United Kingdom or elsewhere, a school or schools where the pupils may obtain a sound education of the highest order;
-
to provide religious instruction and training therein in accordance with the doctrines and principles of traditional Judaism;
-
to foster education and moral and religious training in accordance with the said principles;
-
to provide any accommodation which may be deemed desirable for the pupils attending and persons employed at any school or schools carried on by the charity;
-
to establish and support or aid in the establishment and support of any charitable association or institution, trust or fund, and to subscribe or guarantee money for any charitable purpose which the company shall consider calculated to promote its objectives or any of them.

YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020
Grant making policy
This charity was established to support the activities of Jewish religious organisations, especially in the field of education. Donations are made to organisations providing a sound religious education in accordance with the doctrines and principles of traditional Judaism, with a view to achieving the objects of the charity.
Shulem B. Association Limited regularly supports charitable organisations and institutions both in respect of revenue expenditure and capital projects and there has been a continual call for funding for capital projects together with a concomitant need for increased revenue support.
Applications for grants are made in writing to the charity or in person to the Trustees by voluntary and community organisations. Donations are provided through bank transfer, after making the necessary checks, proportional to the level of funding involved.
Direct charitable activity
Besides the grant making activities, the charity also hold two functional properties which it uses as spare capacity for the constantly expanding schools in the local community. The premises are also used for summer camps and activities for younger members of the community.
Aims, objectives and activities for public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidelines contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objects and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policies for the year.
This charity was established for general charitable purposes and in particular to support the activities of Jewish religious organisations, especially in the field of education. Donations are made to organisations providing a sound religious education in accordance with the doctrines and principles of traditional Judaism, with a view to achieving the objects of the charity and in doing so the charity has complied with its duty to act for the public benefit in accordance with Section 4 of the Charities Act 2006. The number of organisations and institutions which are regularly supported by Shulem B. Association Limited is large and thus there has been a continual call for funding for both capital projects and revenue support.
Investment powers and policy
Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the charity has the power to make any investment which the trustees see fit provided that funds so utilised are not immediately required for use in connection with any of its objects. The trustees regularly review the charity's position and needs in respect of the investment policy.

STRATEGIC REPORT
The group invests in property portfolios and listed investments to generate income with which it makes grants, donations and loans to charities and institutions that fall within the objectives of the charity.
Achievements and performance
The charity is dependent on the investment income generated by the subsidiary companies. This has decreased in the year (see note 6 to the financial statements). Rental Income increased by 5.5% but lease extension income decreased by 92% due to fewer extensions in the current year. The Group did not receive donations and legacies in the current year (2019: £1,583,200). The charity itself received donations of £2,482,831 (2019: £4,083,840) from its subsidiaries – See note 5 on page 20 for further information.
During the year under review £3,496,250 (2019: £4,996,700) was distributed in furtherance of the charity's objectives. As with the prior year, the deficit for the year was funded from past reserves.
The movement in Investments is shown in Note 20 to the financial statements.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The charity is dependent for its income on the income from its investment properties and on the commercial activities of its subsidiaries. During the year, income arising from the commercial activities of the subsidiaries was £3,370,419 (2019: £4,720,780), with a further £527,342 (2019: £522,216) arising from the charity’s investment properties.
Various investment properties worth £378,500 were disposed in the subsidiaries which resulted in a surplus of £199,476 (2019: £nil).
The Charity holds the share capital of six subsidiary undertakings. All the subsidiary holdings are engaged in property investment and the trustees consider their results for the year ended 30th September 2020 to be satisfactory.
Key performance indicators (KPIs)
The Trustees monitor the Charity's performance progress against its strategic objectives and the financial performance of its operations on a regular basis. Performance is assessed against the strategy and expectations using financial and non-financial measures. The most significant KPIs used by the charity are as follows:
| follows: | ||

Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level which the trustees think appropriate after considering the future commitments of the charity and the likely administrative costs of the charity for the next year. The free reserves of the charity are the current assets minus current liabilities. At the year end, the charity had £2,730,129 (2019: £4,142,158) of free reserves.
TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
AUDITOR
Each of the persons who is a trustee at the date of approval of this report confirms that:
-
so far as they are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charity's auditor is unaware; and
-
they have taken all steps that they ought to have taken as a trustee to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity's auditor is aware of that information.
The trustees' annual report and the strategic report were approved on 8[th] December 2021 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SHULEM B. ASSOCIATION LIMITED
YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020
OPINION
We have audited the financial statements of Shulem B. Association Limited (the 'group') for the year ended 30 September 2020 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), company statement of financial activities, consolidated statement of financial position, company balance sheet, consolidated statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the group's affairs as at 30 September 2020 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
BASIS OF OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO GOING CONCERN
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:
-
the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
-
the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charity's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
EMPHASIS OF MATTER
In forming our opinion of the financial statements, which is not modified, we would draw attention to the material uncertainty as reported in the Trustees' Report: Covid-19 Pandemic. Uncertainties related to the effects of Brexit and Covid-19 are relevant to understanding our audit of the financial statements. All audits assess and challenge the reasonableness of estimates made by the directors, such as the valuation of investment property and related disclosures, and the appropriateness of the going concern basis of preparation of the financial statements. These depend on assessments of the future economic environment and the company's future prospects and performance.

SHULEM B. ASSOCIATION LIMITED

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SHULEM B. ASSOCIATION LIMITED (continued)
YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020
Brexit and Covid-19 are most significant economic events for the UK, and at the date of this report their effects are subject to unprecedented levels of uncertainty of outcomes, with the full range of possible effects unknown. We applied a standardised firm-wide approach in response to that uncertainty when assessing the company's future prospects and performance. However, no audit should be expected to predict the unknowable factors or all possible future implications for a company and this is particularly the case in relation to Brexit and Covid-19.
OTHER INFORMATION
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
OPINIONS ON OTHER MATTERS PRESCRIBED BY THE COMPANIES ACT 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the trustees' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the trustees' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees' report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES
As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.

- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
USE OF OUR REPORT
This report is made solely to the charity's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is New Burlington House, 1075 Finchley Road, NW11 0PU, London.
2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.
3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
No Material Uncertainty Exists
The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in the first six months of 2020 and the associated lockdown has had a negative impact on the macro economy and the particular market that the group companies operate in. The directors have placed a particular focus on the charity’s going concern assessment and have considered the principal risks to the charity. This assessment has considered the various probable outcomes of the pandemic on the charity group’s operations and its future financial performance over the next 12 months, including a decline in revenues, an increase in impairments and a reduction in property values. Uncertainty surrounding Brexit and the associated potential financial costs may also have a negative impact. These risks are beyond the control of the charity and represent uncertainty to the revenue and cash flow of the charity group for the foreseeable future.
Notwithstanding these uncertainties, the directors have concluded that it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared in accordance with the accounting principles appropriate to a going concern and that there is no material uncertainty to this position, as the directors have a reasonable expectation that the charity group has adequate resources under all plausible circumstance to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future by meeting its liabilities and commitments as they fall due.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Governance costs
Governance costs include the cost of the preparation and audit of the financial statements and the cost of any legal advice to the trustees on governance or constitutional matters.
Taxation
The Charity is not liable to direct taxation (Income Tax) on its income which falls within the various exemptions available to registered charities. As a result, no Deferred Tax is provided on timing differences. The Charity is not registered for Value Added Tax (VAT) and is therefore unable to reclaim any input tax it suffers on its purchase. Expenditure in the accounts is therefore shown inclusive of VAT where appropriate.
The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period for the subsidiaries.
Current tax is recognised on taxable income or expenditure for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
- income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Investments
Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment.
Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure.
Investment property
Investment property is initially recorded at cost, which includes purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure.
Investment property is revalued to its fair value at each reporting date and any changes in fair value are recognised in income or expenditure.
If a reliable measure of fair value is no longer available without undue cost or effort for an item of investment property, it shall be transferred to tangible assets and treated as such until it is expected that fair value will be reliably measurable on an on-going basis.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the entity has an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that the entity will be required to transfer economic benefits in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. Provisions are recognised as a liability in the statement of financial position and the amount of the provision as an expense.
Provisions are initially measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date and subsequently reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the amount that would be required to settle the obligation. Any adjustments to the amounts previously recognised are recognised in income or expenditure unless the provision was originally recognised as part of the cost of an asset. When a provision is measured at the present value of the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation, the unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in the statement of financial activities in the period it arises and is allocated to the appropriate expenditure heading.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Acquisitions and disposals of properties
Acquisitions and disposals of properties are considered to take place at the date of legal completion and are included in the financial statements accordingly.
