1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As the total income of the Charity is less than £250,000 the Trustees have elected in accordance with the provisions in The Charities (Accounts and Reports Regulations (NI) 2015) to prepare its accounts on a receipts and payments basis.
FUND ACCOUNTING
Endowment funds are funds, the capital of which must be retained either permanently or at the Charity’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 Charity 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 Charity’s general purposes. Designated funds are general funds set aside by the Charity for use in the future.
