Accounting Policies

The accounts have been prepared under the historic cost convention on an accruals basis in accordance with the Charities Act 2011.

Incoming Resources

All incoming resources are included in full as soon as the following three factors can be met:

• i. Entitlement – arises when a particular resource is receivable, or the charity’s rights become legally enforceable.

• ii. Certainty – when there is reasonable certainty that the incoming resource will be received.

• iii. Measurement – when the monetary value of the incoming resource can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Legacies

Legacies are accounted for as incoming resources once the receipt of the legacy becomes reasonably certain. This will be once confirmation has been received from the representatives of the estate that payment of the legacy will be made or properly transferred and once all conditions attached to the legacy have been fulfilled.

Deferred Income

Where income has been received in advance of the funds held on trust fulfilling all the conditions attached to it, it is treated as deferred until all of the conditions have been met.

Resources Expended

• a) The funds held on these accounts are prepared in accordance with the accruals concept. All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payment to a third party.

• b) The cost of generating funds is the costs associated with generating income for the funds held.

Grants Payable

Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charity’s objectives as outlined in the charity’s Constitution. They are accounted for on an accruals basis where the conditions for their payment have been met or where a third party has a reasonable expectation that they will receive the grant.

Management and Administration Costs

These are accounted for on an accruals basis.

Fixed Assets

This is equipment owned by the charity on a written down value after depreciation.

Structure of Funds

Where there is a legal restriction on the purposes to which a fund may be put, the funds are classified in the accounts as a restricted fund. Funds where the capital is held to generate income for charitable purposes and cannot itself be spent are accounted for as endowment funds. Other funds are classified as unrestricted funds.

Funds which are not legally restricted but which the trustees have chosen to earmark for set purposes are classified as designated funds.

Benefits

No Trustee or member of the Group has at any time received financial benefit from the Group. Legitimate expenses, however, incurred on behalf of the group, have been paid when claimed.
