## **CONNOR CONGREGATION OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN IRELAND** 

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS** 

**31 December 2022** 

**1. Accounting policies** 

## **BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards. While compliance with Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting and Reporting by Charities (FRS102) is not mandatory account of the guidance contained therein has been taken in the preparation of these accounts. 

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. 

## **FUND ACCOUNTING** 

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 basis. 

Unrestr 

general funds set aside by the congregation for use in the future. 

## **INCOMING RESOURCES** 

## **Recognition of incoming resources** 

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: 

The congregation becomes entitled to the resources. 

The trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and The monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliably. 

## **Incoming resources with related expenditure** 

Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising income) the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SoFA. 

## **Grants and donations** 

Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the congregation has unconditional entitlement to the resources. 

## **Tax reclaims on donations and gifts** 

Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SoFA at the same time as the gift to which they relate. 

## **Contractual income and performance related grants** 

This is only included in the SoFA once the related goods or services have been delivered. 

## **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 sale or distribution are included in the accounts as gifts only when sold or distributed by the charity. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. 

10 




## **CONNOR CONGREGATION OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN IRELAND** 

## **Donated services and facilities** 

These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable, and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received. 

## **Volunteer help** 

## **Investment income** 

This is included in the accounts when receivable. 

## **Investment gains and losses** 

This includes any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. 

## **EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES** 

## **Liability recognition** 

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the congregation to pay out resources. 

## **Governance costs** 

These include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters. 

## **Grants with performance conditions** 

Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. 

## **Grants payable without performance conditions** 

These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met relating to the grant which remain in the control of the charity. 

## **Support costs** 

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, e.g., allocating property cots by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. 

## **Tangible Fixed Assets** 

Tangible fixed assets for use by charity. These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £500. They are valued at cost or, if gifted, at the value to the charity on receipt. 

Depreciation is recorded on all tangible fixed assets other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write of the cost less estimated residual value, of each asset over its expected useful life as follows. 

Buildings -over 50 years Fixtures, fittings, and equipment -over 10 years Motor Vehicles -over 4 years Computers, software, and technical equipment -over 4 years
