The Registered Office is Suite 2 ~~.~~ 06, Custom House, Custom House Square, Belfast, BT1 3ET ~~.~~
The principal activity of the charitable company is the evangelisation of the cities of Africa through word and deed ~~.~~
2 ~~.~~ Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ~~-~~ Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006 ~~.~~
African Enterprise (Ireland) Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102 ~~.~~ Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy ~~.~~
2 ~~.~~ 2 Income
All income is recognised once the Company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
2 ~~.~~ 3 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably ~~.~~ Expenditure is classified by activity ~~.~~ The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity ~~.~~ Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity ~~.~~ Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources ~~.~~ Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs ~~.~~
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT ~~.~~
2.4 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and shor ~~t-~~ term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account ~~.~~

2 ~~.~~ Accounting policies (continued)
2.5 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably ~~.~~
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide ~~.~~
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation ~~.~~ Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre ~~-~~ tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability ~~.~~ The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost ~~.~~
2.6 Financial instruments
The Company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2 ~~.~~ 7 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Company and which have not been designated for other purposes ~~.~~
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes ~~.~~ The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements ~~.~~
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund ~~.~~ The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements ~~.~~
