The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for investment assets, which are shown at market value. The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the congregation is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members. Joymount Presbyterian Church meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. ## **1.2 Fund accounting** Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds are primarily from the receipt of Free Will Offerings and loose collections from the congregation. Restricted funds comprise (a) restricted income funds and (b) restricted land and building fund. These are detailed below. Restricted income funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor. Restricted income funds are from the collection of congregational offerings to the Church's property account and for the Presbyterian Church in Ireland's (PCI) various appeals. The income received by the various church organisations is also restricted for use in the respective organisations. Restricted land and building fund is the fund created on the initial recognition of the land and buildings owned by the church which have not previously been recorded. The only movement on this fund each year is the expensing of the depreciation on land and buildings. Further details can be found at note 14. ## **1.3 Income recognition** All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is virtually certain that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Where income received has related expenditure (as with fundraising income) the income and related expenditure are reported gross in the Statement of Financial Activities. ## **Regular direct giving** Regular direct giving receipts relate to offerings received from the congregation and are recognised on receipt when the church has unconditional entitlement to the income. 14 **Joymount Presbyterian Church Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2025** ## **1 Accounting policies (continued)** ## **Donation and legacies** Donations and legacies are recognised on receipt unless otherwise notified of a settlement date. The nature of the charity as a church means that donations do not usually have conditions attached which may result in the deferral of recognising income. ## **Tax reclaims on donations and gifts** Income from Gift Aid (included under Regular direct giving) is included in the Statement of Financial Activities at the same time as the donation or gift to which they relate. ## **Investments** Interest on funds held on deposit is recognised when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity. ## **Gifts in kind** Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the Statement of Financial Activities as income when receivable. ## **Donated services and facilities** These are only included in income (with the equivalent amount in expenditure) where the benefit to the church is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the church of the service or facility received. ## **Volunteer help** The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the financial statements but is described in the trustees' annual report. ## **1.4 Expenditure and liabilities recognition** Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. ## **1.5 Irrecoverable VAT** Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred. ## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets** Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Assets for use by the church are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £2,500. They are valued at cost or, if gifted, at the value to the charity on receipt. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets other than land at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life, as follows: Buildings: 50 years Fixtures and fittings: 10 years 15 **Joymount Presbyterian Church Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2025** ## **1 Accounting policies (continued)** ## **1.7 Creditors and provisions** Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount. ## **1.8 Employee benefits** The minister of the congregation is a member of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland Pension Scheme (2009). This is a scheme operated by the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, a separate registered charity. The church pays an assessment to the Presbyterian Church in Ireland equivalent to the employer's pension contribution for the Scheme and based on the stipend paid to the minister. The Presbyterian Church in Ireland Pension Scheme (2009) is a funded Scheme of the defined benefit type, providing defined benefits based on career average revalued salary. The Scheme has assets held in a separately administered fund managed by the board of trustees. The Presbyterian Church and the Scheme trustees have agreed a funding plan to ensure the Scheme is sufficiently funded to meet current and future obligations. A formal schedule of contributions was drawn up on 25 November 2015 whereby the Presbyterian Church agreed to pay from 31 December 2015 contributions of 24% of pensionable salaries to cover accrual of benefits for future service, expenses, the cost of insuring death in service benefits and funding the scheme deficit. The church operates a defined contribution pension scheme for its employees. The scheme and its assets are held by an independent scheme manager. The pension charge represents the contributions due by the church during the year. The charity recognises a cost equal to their contribution payable for the period in their statement of financial activities. - **2 Regular direct giving** |Recorded giving
