ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As the total income of the congregation is less than £250,000 the congregation have
elected in accordance with the provisions in The Charities (Accounts and Reports
Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015 to prepare its accounts on a receipts and
payments basis.
FUND ACCOUNTING
Endowment funds are funds, the capital of which must be retained either
permanently or at the congregation's discretion; the income derived from the
endowment is to be used either as restricted or unrestricted income funds
depending upon the purpose for which the endowment was established in the first
place.
Restricted funds comprise (a) income from endowments which is to be expended
only on the restricted purposes intended by the donor and (b) revenue donations or
grants for a specific congregational activity intended by the donor. Where these
funds have unspent balances, interest on their pooled investment is apportioned to
the individual funds on an average balance basis.

Unrestricted funds are income funds which are to be spent on the congregation's
general purposes. Designated funds are general funds set aside by the congregation
for use in the future.
