Notes to the accounts (Paras 2 to 12 are to be completed by all funds which have a gross income of £100K or over and those funds already registered with the Charity Regulator, all other funds are to complete Paras 6 and 7 and the declarations at Para 12):
1. Principal Accounting Policies
a. Accounting Convention. The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the inclusion of investments at market value and in accordance with applicable accounting standards. In preparing the financial statements the charity follows best practice as set out in the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting and reporting by Charities" (SORP) 2005 (http://www.charitycommission.gov.uk/investigations/sorp/sorp05docs.asp)
b. Incoming Resources. Income is recognised in the period in which the charity is entitled to receipt, and the amount can be measured with reasonable certainty. Grants from other agencies including donations and other income from activities are in furtherance of the charity's objects and are part of the general funds of the charity. A restricted fund is only recognised where this is an agreed and explicit condition of the grant or donor.
c. Intangible Income. Due to the close collaborative relationship and the manner in which the charity's activities compliment those of the Army, intangible income, reflected in time and use of premises is not quantifiable or measurable and so is not recognised in the accounts.
d. Resources Expended and Basis of Allocation of costs. Expenditure is included when incurred or exceptionally where a commitment is made which requires an accrual when payment is to be made in the subsequent accounting period. Similarly, where prepayments are made in recognition of commitments falling due in a subsequent accounting period, the appropriate credit is entered in the accounts and reversed the following year. Grants payable are included in the SOFA when approved by the Managing Trustee. Expenditure is recognised in the period in which it is incurred. The majority of costs are directly attributable to specific activities. Irrecoverable VAT is charged to the annual report and accounts.
e. Governance Costs. Governance costs are the costs of professional advice, holding trustee meetings or committee meetings associated with decision making, any fee for audit or independent examination and any fee incurred in the preparation, statutory filing, printing or copying of the annual report and accounts.
f. Capitalisation and Depreciation of Tangible Fixed Assets. All assets having a purchase value of more than £500 are capitalised. The cost of tangible fixed assets are written off by equal annual instalments over their expected useful lives using the following methods of depreciation:
Furniture, fixtures and equipment - Straight Line over a period of 2 - 10 years. Motor vehicles - Straight Line over a period of 2 - 10 years.
Assets with a life of more than one year but with a purchase value of below £500 are included within the inventory but the cost is written off in the year it is incurred and is not depreciated over the useful life of the asset. Where the asset is depreciated over a period of more than 10 years, details of the item and period are to be provided following the notes on page 13.
g. Fixed Asset Investment. Fixed asset investments are included at market value at the balance sheet date. Any gain or loss on revaluation is shown in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) on page 2.

h. Stocks. Purchased stocks are valued at the lower cost or net realisable value making due allowance for any obsolete or slow-moving items.
i. Funds Accounting. Funds held by the charity are:
(1) General Purpose/Unrestricted/Designated Funds. These are funds that can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the Managing Trustee. Designated funds are unrestricted funds which have been allocated/earmarked for a particular purpose by the Managing Trustee and are to be declared in the Managing Trustee's comments in accordance with Para 12 to these notes stating what they are intended to be used for and when.
(2) Endowment Funds. Endowment funds are those investments and other gifts accepted by the unit, the capital sum or property being held in perpetuity and the income only being available for charitable use.
(3) Restricted Funds. These are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is to be included in the notes to the accounts.
j. Heritage Assets. In the course of the unit's history, the charity may have acquired gifts, memorabilia, regalia, silverware, antiques and other historical artefacts in the course of distinguished military service in service of the Crown. The value of these pieces is in large part derived from their close association with Regimental history which precludes the use of conventional valuation techniques being applied. Whilst the objects of the charity do not specifically include preservation and conservation, the pieces represent an essential element of celebrating the unit's history and foster esprit-de-corps. Consequently the Managing Trustee considers the charity to hold heritage assets both for functional use and as an element of national history on behalf of the nation. Heritage assets acquired prior to 1 Apr 06 are therefore not capitalised on the balance sheet but a description of those assets is disclosed as part of the notes to the accounts. Heritage assets acquired after 1 Apr 06 where the purchase price is known and which exceed £500.00 are included in the balance sheet at acquisition value but are not depreciated.
k. Other Costs. Other costs are those costs not incurred in the undertaking of charitable activity in furtherance of the objects of the charity, i.e. the provision of facilities, recreational programmes or activities in furtherance of military efficiency. They are also costs incurred in the making of grants and donations, in the costs of generating funds, i.e. the costs incurred in trading or fundraising undertaken by the charity, or in governance costs.
