They follow the rules for charity accounting IFRS102 and the Charities Act 2011 }. The trustees believe the charity can continue operating for the foreseeable future and has enough reserves to do so. Therefore, the accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the charity will keep running. Accordingly, the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the accounts. Income Recognition Income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Donations are recognised when they are received. Expenditure and Liabilities The charity records a liability as soon as there is a legal or agreed obligation to spend money. it is likelythat the payment will be needed, 8nd the amount can be measured reliably. All spending is recorded when it is incurred, not just when money is paid. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Tangible Flxed Assets As a valuation of fixed assets has not been obtained recently. it is necessaryto seek an updated valuation. Accordingly, the tangible f ixed asset information currently available does not represent a true and fair reflection of asset values. As 8n up-to-date valuation of tangible fixed assets will not be obtained in time for the current f inancial year. the revised asset values and related depreciation will not be reflected in these financial statement. Stocks are valued atthe lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowances for slow movingand obsolete items. Page 8
