1. Accounting policies:

Incoming Resources

Voluntary income or capital is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the Charity is legally entitled to it, its financial value can be quantified with reasonable certainty and there is reasonable certainty of its ultimate receipt. Income received in advance of due performance under a contract is accounted for as deferred income until earned. Grants for activities are recognised as income when the related conditions for legal entitlement have been met.

Resources Expended

All resources expended are accounted for on a cash basis. Charitable activities include costs of services and grants, support costs. Costs of generating funds similarly include fundraising activities. Non-staff costs not attributed to one category of activity are allocated or apportioned pro-rata to the staffing of the relevant service. Finance, HR, IT and administrative staff costs are directly attributable to individual activities by objective. Governance costs are those associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Government Grants

Grants that relate to specific capital expenditure are treated as deferred income which is then credited to the statements of financial activities over the related asset’s useful life. Revenue grants are credited to the Statement of Financial activities in the same year as the related expenditure is incurred. Significant capital expenditure in respect of repairs to be incurred in the preceding financial year therefore we have adopted an approach not to release any depreciation or deferred income until such works have been completed.
