Debtors and Prepayments
Trade debtors and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discount offered.

Creditors and Provisions

Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange
ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate
of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving

STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Conlinued
Fund Accounting
Unrestricted funds are general funds that are available for use at the Trustees, discretion in furtherance of
the objectives of the charity-
Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside by the trustees out of unrestricted funds for specific
future purposes.
Restricted funds are those given for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is
restricted to that area or purwse.
Reserves Policy
Unrestricted funds are needed io provide funds which can be applied to specific projects to enable
these projects to be undertaken at short notice and to cover the running costs olthe Charity for a limited
period, should there be a significant shortfall in projected income.
The Directors consider it prudent that unrestricted reserves should be sufficient to avoid the necessity of
realising fixed assets held for the Charity's use.
