The financial statements have b*n prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) -
Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended practi￿ applicable to charities
preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK
and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102} (effective 1 January 2015), the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable In the UK and Republtc of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008.
Ball￿[are Congregation of The Presbyterian Church in Ireland meets the definition of a public benefft
entty under FRS 102. Assets and liabilit￿S are initialty recognised at historical cost or transaction
value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accwnting policy.
1.2 Income
All inct)me is recognised On￿ the charity has entiuement to the income. it Is probable that the income
will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
The recognitK)n of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement. the probabilty of
re￿Ipt and the abilty to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of
entitlement to a legacy exists when the charity has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them
{through knowledge of the existence of a valid and the death of the benefactor) and the executor
is 5atlsfied Ihat the property In question will nol be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Re￿Ipt of
a legacy must be recognised vthen it is probable that it will be recetved and the fair value of the
amount recewable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed to the charity,
can be reliabty measured.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment
income is re￿1Vable.
1.3 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit
to a third paty, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and
the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs
of each activrty are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs. including support costs
involved in undertaking each activrty. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly
to that actiwty. Shaied costs vrtiiLh contribute to more than one activty and support costs which are
not attributable to a single adiv5ty are apportioned betsveen those actrvttie5 on a basis consistent with
the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spen( and depreciation
charges allocated on the porbon of the assevs use.
Expenditure on charitable activtties is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the
charitys objectives. as well as any associated support costs.
Ati expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
1.4 Investments
Fixed asset investrnents are a fomi of financial instrument and are initially rec¢)gnised at their
transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance Sheet date. unless the value
cannot be measured reliabty in wh￿h case it is measured at cost less impairrnent. Investment gains
and 10¥8es. whether realised or unrealised. are Gombined anrj piesewittxj as 'Gain51(L055e5) on
investments. in the Statement of Financial Actiwties.

Accounting pollcies (continued)
1.5 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered.
Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.6 Cash at bank and In hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly INuid investments with a short maturity
of three months or less from the date of acquisiti.on or opening of the deposit or similar account.
1.7 LFabilities and provisions
abilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a resu￿ of a past
event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefft will be required in setuement, and the amount
of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the
amount it has received as advanced payThents for the gr￿$ or service5 It must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to setue the obligation. Where
the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those
amounts, discounted at the pre4ax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The
unwnding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activtties as a finance cost.
1.8 Flnancial instruments
The charity onty has financial assets and financial liabilit￿S of a kind that qualify as basic financial
instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently
measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequenuy
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rneth￿J.
