Accounting policie5 (continuedj
mpaiimeiit of fixed a55et5
A review for indic*ors of impaiment is carried out at each reporting date. with the recoverable
amount being estirnated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the
recoverable amounl. the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impaiments are also reviewed for
possible reversal al each reporting date.
For the purposes of impaim)ent testing. when rt is nol possible to estimate the recoverable amount
of an indivldual asset, an eslimate is rnade of the recoverable arTh)unt of the cash-generaling unit
to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating ur)it 15 the smallest idenlifiable group of assets
that include5 the asset and generates cash inflows Ihal largely independent of the cash inflows
from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the
acqui511ion dale, alk)caled lo each of ihe cash-generaling units that are expected to benefit from
Ihe synergies of the combination. irrespectwe of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity
are assigned to those units.
Stocks
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estirnated selling price kss costs to complete and
sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase. costs of conversKin and olher costs Incurred In bringing

onsideration expected to be paid or received and not discounled.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at an￿rtised cost.
Where investments in shares are publicty traded or their fair value can otherw1se be measurecl
reliably, the inveslrnent is subsequently measured al fair value with changes in fair value
recognised In income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequenlly measured al
cost less impairment.
Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are inrtially recognised at fair value, unless
payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business term5 or financed at a rale of interest
that is not a market rate. in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future
payments discounied at a market late of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Other financial Insiruments are subsequently wnv(iiured al fair value, wrth any chan9etr recogni$ad
in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments In a designated
