## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS 31 December 2024** 

## **1. 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 Report Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015, to prepare the 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.
