l Aecounting policies
ststement of compliance
The financial ststements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of
Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom
and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Basis of preparation
Ashby Christadelphian Ecclesia meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The accounts
(fllmncial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items r¢cognised at cost or
transaction value unless otherwise stat¢d in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
Going ¢oncern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going
concern.
Income 2nd endowments
Volunlary income including donations, gifts. legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature
is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that ihe income will be received alld the
amount Can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Donadons and legacles
Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably
measured.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that exp¢nditure, it is PTobabl¢
settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditur¢
heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings
they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central slatT costs allocated on the
basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use. Other support costs are
allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Raislngfunds
There are no costs incurred in attrdcting voluntary income or the management of investments
Charllable aclivilies
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activiti¢s and services for
its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect
nature necessary to support them.
Page 8

Ashby Christadelphian Ecclesia
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2024 (continued)
Support costs
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with
the use of r¢sources, for example, allocating property costs by floor aTea5, or per capit4 staff costs by the time spent
and other costs by their usage.
Tangible r￿ed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £0.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated
depreciation and subsequent ￿cuM￿lated impailinent losses.
Depreciation and amortisalion
Depreciation is provided on tangible fix¢d assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual
value, over their expected use￿1 economic life as follows:
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from ¢ustomer5 lor merchandise sold or services perfonned in the ordinary cowse of
business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest m¢tho(L less provision for impairment. A Provision for the impairnient of trdde debtors is
established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to coll￿t all amounts due according to
the original terms of the receivables.
Cash and eash equivalents
Cash and c&sh equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits. and other short-tenn htghly liquid investments
. that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insi￿]rIcant rtsk of change in value.
Fund 5truclure
Unrestricted income fvnds are general funds that are available for use at the thistees discretion in furtherance of the
objectiv¢s of the charity.
Finaneial instruments
Classiflcalion
Financial assets and fmancial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a paty to the contractual
provisions of the instrument.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2024 {eontinued)
Recognlllon andmeasurgmenl
All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for
those financial assets classified as at fair value through profil or loss. which are initially measured at fair value
(which is nonnally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing
t￿￿)SaCtIon. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. the fmancial asset or fjnancial liability is measured
ai the present value of the ￿tUre payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrnment.
Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there exists
a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or
to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contracthal rights to the cash flows from the fmancial
asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the Tisks and rewards of
ownership of the fu]ancAal asset, or r) the charity, despit¢ having retained some, but not all. significant r&sks and
rewards of ownership, has transf¢￿ed control of the asset to another paty.
Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or
expires.
Fair value measuremenl
The best evidence of fair value is a quoted price for an identical asset in an active market. When quoted prices are
unavailable, the price of a recent transaction for an identical asset provides evidence of fair value as long as there
has not been a significant change in economic circumstances or a significant lapse of time since the transaction took
place. If the market is not active and recenl transactions of an identical asset on their own are not a good estimate of
fair value, the fair vaIue is estimated by using a valuation technique.
