The Charitls trustees are responsible for the preparation of Ihe financial statements in
accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scalland) Acl 2005 and the
Charities Accounts (Scotlandl Regulations 2006. The Charity trustees consider that the audit
requirement of Regulation 10(1 }(a) to {cl of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my
responsibility to examine the financial statements as required under section 44(a){cl of the Act
and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of inde
endent examiner's statement
My examinalion is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts
{Scotlandl Regulations 2006. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept
by the Charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It
also includes consideration of any unusual items of disclosures in the financial statements and
seeks explanations from the Truslees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken
do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently we do not
express an audit oplnlon on the view given by the financial statements.
Inde
endent ex8minels statement
n the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention.
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the
requirements..
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44{1) of the 2005 Act and
Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and
to prepare financial slalernenls which ac￿rd with the accounting records and

Accounting Policies
Accountlng Basis
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards, the
Statement of Recommended Practice, "Accounting and Reporting by Gharilies" preparing
their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK
and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Financial Reporting
Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland (FRS1021, the
Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts
(Scollandl Regulations 2006 las amended).
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items
recognised al cost or transaction value unless otherwis8 stated in the relevant notelsl to
these accounts.
Going Concern
At the time of approving the accounls, the Trustees have a reasonable expeclatlon that the
F811owship has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable
ftJture. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going conoern basis of accounting in
preparing the accounts.
Charitable funds
Funds generated or drawn on via the Income and Expenditure Account are classified as
either unrestricted funds or designated funds or restricted funds, defined as follows..
Unrestricted lunds are expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of
the objects of the charity. Designated funds are also unrestricted but have been
ringfenced by the trustees to meet a particular purpose.
Reslricted funds are subject to specific conditions which may be declared by the
donor.
Incoming Resources
Income is recognised when the Fellowship is legally entitled to it after any performance
conditions have been mel, the arnounls can be measured reliably, and il is probable that
income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Olher donations are recognised once the
Fellowship has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions r8quire deferral
of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation lo donations received under Gift Aid or
deeds of covenant is recognised at the lime of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the Fellowship has been notified of an
impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not
known, the legacy is treated as a conlingenl asset.

Accounting Policies continued
Resources Expended
Resources expended are included on an accruals basis and allocated to the appropriate fund as
a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is
reported as part of the expenditure to which il relates..
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities
and services for its benefioiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such
activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary lo support them.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are slated at cosl less depreciation. Depreciation is provided al rates
calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful
Sife, as follows:
Land and buildings - No depreciation
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is deterrnined as the difference between the
sale prO￿ed$ and the catrying value of the asset and is recognised in net incomel (expenditure)
for the year.
Impairment of fixed assets
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing
value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounled to their present value using a pre-
tax discount rale that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the
risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying
amaunt of the asset is reduced to ils recoverable amount. An impairment loss is rewgnised
immediately in incomel lexpendilurel for the year, unless the relevant asset is carried al a
revalued amount, in which case the imp8irmenl loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only rf, the reasons for the impairment loss
have ceased to apply. Where an imp81rment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of
the asset is increased lo the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased
carrying amount does not exceed the c(Irrying amount that would have been detemiined had no
impairment loss been recognised for Ihe asset in prtor years. A reversal of an impairment loss is
recognised immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried in at a revalued amount, in which
case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

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 inleresl method unless the arrangement conslilutes a
financing transaction. where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future
receipts discounted at a market rale of interest. Financial assets classified as reGeivable
within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised al
transaction pri￿ unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt
instrument is m8asured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market
rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are nol amortised.
Debt instrumenls are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effectiv& int8resl
rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the
ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current
liabilities if payment is due wlthin one year or less. Sf not, they are presented as non-current
liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially al transaction price and subsequently

Critlcal accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of th8 Charily'5 a¢¢ounting policies, the Trustees are required to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities
that are not readily apparent from olher sources. The eslimales and associated assumptions
are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevanl.
Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The eslimales and undartying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where
the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods whore
the revision affects both current and future periods.
