Mr William Lou Tandem Walking Group Plus Notes to the fmancial statements for the year ended 31st Marcb 2023 l. Accounting pollcies The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the fmancial statements are as follows: a) Preparation of accounts on a going concern basis The charity generally mcets its day to day working capital requirements from its annual income. The Trustees have obtained and reviewed cash flow forecasts for the coming year and based on these are satisfied that the charity has resources to provide a reasonable expectation that it can continue to meet its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future. Therefore these f￿ancial statemcnts have been prepared on a going concern basis b) Income Income is accounted for on a cash receipts basis as the amount is collected and are allocated as either restricted or unrestricted funds according to the ternls of the donation. c) Expenditure Expenditure is recognised on a cash payments basis. d) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-terni highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. e) Funds Funds are classified as either restricted funds or unrestricted funds, defmed as follows: Restricted funds are funds subject to specific requirements as to their use which may be declared by the donor or with their authority or crcated through legal processes, but still within the wider objects of the Club. Unrcstricted funds are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furthcrance of the objects of the charity. If parts of Ihe unrestricted funds arc earmarked at the discretion of the trustees for a particular purpose, they are designated as a separate fund. This designation has an administrativc pU￿oSe only and does not legally restricl tbe trustees, discretion to apply the fund. 2.
