Bob Harte Memorial Trust Company Limited by Guarantee Notes to the Financial Statements {contlnu8d) Year ended 31 March 2024 Accounting policles (continued) Incoming resources All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitletnent has passed to the charity- it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amounl can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories ot income.. income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement lo the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to Ihe donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution ot general volunteers. income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classitied as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and relurned if unspent. in which case it may be regarded as restricted. Resources expended Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered. and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activilies, events, non- charttable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking aclivities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries. including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activilies. All costs are allocated to expenditure calegories reflecling the use of the resource. Direct costs altributable to a single activity are allocaled directly to that activity. Shared cosls are apportioned between the activities they contribute lo on a reasonable, justifiable and consistenl basis. Tangible assets Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulaled depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Bob Harte Memorial Trust Company Limited by Guarantee Notes to the Financial Statements (contlnued) Year ended 31 March 2024 Accounting policres (contlnuéd) Tangible assets (continued) An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement ot financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation. is recognised in other recognised gains and losses. except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain. in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on Ihe stalement of financial activities. Deprecialion Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: Freehold property Fixtures and fittings 2 % straight line 100/0 Straight line Impairment of fixed assels A review for indicators of impairment is carried out al each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds Ihe recoverable amount. the assel is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset. an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash- generating unit to which the assel belongs. The cash-generating unil is the smallest identifiable group of assels that includes the asset and generates cash intlows that largely independent of the cash inflgws from other assets or groups ot assets. For impairment testing of goodwill. the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benetit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective ot whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units. Government grants Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received. Where the grant does not impose specified future performance-relaled conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient. it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been mel. Where grants received are prior to satisfying ihe revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability. 10
Bob Harte Memorial Trust Company Limited by Guarantee Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) Year ended 31 March 2024 Accounting policies (contlnued) Financial inslruments A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a paty to the conlractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs. Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Where investments in shares are publicly iraded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at tair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. Other financial irbstruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is riot a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value. with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship. Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairmenl at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under Ihe appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised. For all equity instruments regardless of signiticance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assels are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis ol similar credit risk characteristics. Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not resLIIt in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds whal the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. Limited by guarantee Bob Harte Memorial Trust is a company limiled by guarantee (restricted to £1 per full member) and not having a share capital and is registered as a charity 11
