Ethiopiaid
Notes to the Flnancial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2022
Donations and legacies
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in WTiting of both the amount and
settlement date. In the event that a donatron is subject lo conditions that require a level of
performance by the charity before the charity is entitted lo the fvnds, the income is deferred and not
recognised until either those conditions are fiilly met, or the fu￿rIMent of those conditions is wholly
within the control of the chaTity and it is probable that these conditions will b8 fulfilled in the repott'ng
period.
Legacy grfb are recognised on a case by ca$e basis following the grant of probate when the
adminislratorlexecutor for the eslale has communicated in writing both the amounl and settlement
dale. In the event that the gift is in the fonn of an asset other than ￿sh or a financial asset traded on
a recognised stock exchange, recognition is subject lo the value of the gift being reliably measurable
with a degree of reasor¢able accuracy and the litk lo the asset having been transferred to the charity-
Gifts in klnd
In kind support has been recognised al the commercial valtse of giftslservices reeeived, less the
amount paid by the Charity. Donalions in kind afe recogni%ed when the ieceipl of the benefit is

have been willing to pay for the services or facilities received. A corresponding amount is recognised
in expendilure in the period of receipts.
Inve$tment Incom&
Interest on funds held on dep￿lt is induded when receivable and the amount can be measu￿￿
reliably by the charty- this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
Volunteer time
No amount is in¢luded in the financial slalements for volunteer time in line wlh the Charity SORP
IFRS 1021.
Expendlture
Atl expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure. it is
probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All ￿SIS are allocated to
the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs lo that category. Where costs cannot
be directly attributed lo particular headings they havo been allocated on a basis consistent with the
use of resources, wth central staff Costs allocated on the basis of lime spent, and depreciation
charges allocated on the portion of the asseys use. Other s¥Jpport costs are allocated based on the
spread of stsff costs.

## **Ethiopiaid** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2022** 

## **Support costs** 

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. 

## **Governance costs** 

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Individual fixed assets costing £40 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. 

## **Depreciation and amortisation** 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: 

**Asset class Depreciation method and rate** Office equipment 25% reducing balance 

## **Debtors** 

Debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. 

## **Creditors** 

Creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. 

Creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

Page 24 



## **Ethiopiaid** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2022** 

## **Fund structure** 

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. 

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose. 

## **Pensions and other post retirement obligations** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. 

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment. 

## **Financial instruments** 

## _**Classification**_ 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities. 

## _**Recognition and measurement**_ 

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 profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. 

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 contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party. 

Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
