The James Kane Foundation mggts the definition of a public benefit cntity under FRS 102. Assets
and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in
the relevant accounting policy.
The charity has elected not to include a cash flow statement in the financial slatements, as il qualifies
as a small entity under the Charity SORP (FRS 102) criteria. The decision is based on the charity's
size. a_* it dnp..q not meet the thresholds requiring the preparation of a cash flow Statement.
1.2 Going concern
The financial slatements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the
Foundation will continue its operations for the foreseeable future, being at least 12 months from the
approval of these financial statements.
The Trustees have considered the Foundation's current financial position, including its cash reserves
and the substantial value of its investments. As of the reporting date. the Foundation holds cash
balances and liquid assets sufficient to meet its short-term obligations and fund ongoing operations.
Additionally, the value of its investment portfolio provides a strong financial cushion, supporting
liquidity needs even in the event of unforeseen challenges.
Therefore, there are no material uncertainties that rnay cast significant doubt on the Foundation's
ability to continue as a going concem.
1.3 Income
All income is recognised On￿ the Company has entitlement to the income. it is probable that the
inGome will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

income is receivable.

to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and

the amount it has received as advanced paymenls for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle 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 pre-t3x discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The
