Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty The preparation for financial statements under FRS 102 requires estimates and assumptions to be made that affect both the value at which certain assets and liabilitie5 are held at the balance sheet date and the amounts of revenue and expenditure recorded in the period. The directors believe the accounting policies chosen are appropriate to the particular circumstances and that the estimates, judgements and assumptions involved in the preparation of the financial statements are reasonable. Accounting estimates made by management are based on information available to management at the time each estimate is made. Accordingly, actual outcomes may differ materially from current expectatior)s. The estimates for which there is a significant risk of material adjustment to the financial statements are as follows.. Depreciation The directors exercise judgement of the useful economic lives and residual values of all classe5 of fixed assets. Theses asset5 are then depreciated over their useful economic lives to their residual values. Provision for doubtful debt The directors review the recovery of trade debtors on a continuous basis for any indications of impairment. If such conditions are apparent and it is unlikely, due to deteriorated creditworthiness that the debt will be paid whether wholly or in part. a provision will be made. Income All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
