Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 March 2023
1. Accounting policies
Charity information
Seagoe Youth Group is a charity, registered with the Charity Commission in Northern Ireland. Its principal
address is 145 Princess Way, Portadown, Craigavon, Co Armagh, BT63 SEL,
1.1 Accounting conventlon
The financial slatements have bean prepared in accordance with the charity's constitution, the Charities Act
2008, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" I'FRS 102°)
and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice
applicable to charities preparing their accounts In accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Flepublic of Ireland (FRS 102). (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public
Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage ol the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of
Cash Flows.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities {Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to
the extent required to provide a true and lair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of
Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of
Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in slerling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary
amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have be8n prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting
policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity
has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees
continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial slat8ments.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the truste8s in furtherance of their charitable
objectiV8S.
Restricted funds ar8 subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and
uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specrfic conditions by donors that Ihe capital must be maintained by the
charity.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been
met. the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Page 9

Seagoe Youlh Group
Noles to the financial ststements
For the year ended 31 March 2023
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notrfied
of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in
relation to donations rec8ived under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on r8ceipt or otherwise if the charity has been notifi8d of an impending distribution,
the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known. the legacy is treated as a contingent
asset.
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a
third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic ben8fits will be required in settlement, and the amount
of Ihe obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classifi8d by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and
shared costs. including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a
single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which conlribute to more than one activity
and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on
a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and
depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset's use.
1.6 Cash and cash equivalent8
Cash and cash 8quivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-tem liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafls. Bank overdrafts are shown
within borrowings in current liabilities.
Baslc flnancial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at
transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the
effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction
is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial
assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilitles, including credttors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless
the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present
value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classrfied as payable
within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost. using the effectlV8 interest rate rnethod.
Trade creditors are obligalions to pay for goods or services Ihat have been acquired in the ordinary course
of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within
one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trad8 creditors are recognised initially
at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effectlV8 interest method.
Derecognition of f inancial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or
cancelled.
