THE DROMORE PRESBYTERY OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN IRELAND
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As the total income of the Presbytery is less than £250,000 the Presbytery has elected in accordance with the provisions in The Charities (Accounts and Reports Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015 to prepare its accounts on a receipts and payments basis. These accounts do not incorporate the accounts of the congregations assigned to the Presbytery. These have a separate legal identity and are individually registered with the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland.
FUND ACCOUNTING
Endowment funds are funds, the capital of which must be retained either permanently or at the Presbytery’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 presbytery 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 presbytery’s general purposes. Designated funds are general funds set aside by the presbytery for use in the future.
