Year ended 30 JUNE 2025 3. Accounting policies (continued)

Resources expended (continued)

. 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 the activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are intially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverse a charge of impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statements of financial activities.

Investmenr property is initially recorded at cost, which include purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure.

Investment property is revalued ti its fair value at each reporting date and any changes in fair value ae recognised in income or expenditure.

lf a reliable measure of fair value is no longer availablewithout 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.

impairment of fixed assets

A review of indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicator exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly, Prior impairment are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Impairment of fixed assets (continued)

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 cashgenerating unit to which the asset belong. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable groups of assets that include the asset and genetates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group 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.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grant wil be received.

Where the grants does not imposed specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are recived or receivable.
