The Latt House Trust Notes to the financial statements for the period ended 31st December 2018 l. Accounting policies The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the prep3ration of the financial statements are as follows: a) Preparation of accounts on a going concern basis The charity generally meets its day to day working capital requirements from its annual income. The Trustees have obtained and reviewed cash flow forecasts for the coming year and based on these are satisfied that the charity has resources to provide a reasonable expectation that it can continue to meet its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future. Therefore these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis b} Income Income 15 accounted for on a cash receipts basis as the amount is collected and are allocated as either restricted or unrestricted funds according to the terms of the donation. c} Expenditure Expenditure is recognised on a cash payments basis. d) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand. deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highlv Ilquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdiafts. el Funds Funds are classified as either restricted funds or unrestricted fund5, defined as follows- Restricted funds are funds subject to specific requirements as to their use which may be declared by the donor or with their authority or created through legal processes. but still within the wider objects of the Club. Unrestricted funds are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. If parts of the unrestricted funds are earmarked at the discretion of the trustees for a particular purpose, they are designated as a separate fund. This designation has an administfative purpose only and does not leBally restrict the tru5tees' discretion to apply the fund. 2.
