1 Accounting Policies
a Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice. Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the Uk and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). the Charities and Trustess Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102 The trustess consider that there are no material uncertainties about the ability to continue as a going concern
b
Reconciliation with previously Generally Accepted Accounting Practice
| In preparing the Accounts, the trustess have considered whether in applying the accounting policies | |
|---|---|
| required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 a restatement ofcomparative itemswas | |
| needed. No restatements were required | |
| c | Funds Structure |
| Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose | |
| in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the | |
| trustees, at their discretion, have created a fund for a specific purpose | |
| theexpendableendowmentfund |
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or trust deed d Income recognition All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income. It is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably Donations are recognised when the Charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period Legacy gifts are recognised on a case by case basis following the granting of probate when the administrator/executor for the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and settlement date. In the event that the gift is in the form of an asset other than cashor a financial asset traded on a recognised stock exchange, recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliably measurable with a degree of of reasonable accuracy and the title to the asset having been transferred to the charity
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity, this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due. This is normally upon notification by our investment advisor of the dividend yield of the investment portfolio
e
Expenditure recognition
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constuctive obligation commiting the charity to that expenditure. It is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis Ali expenses are allocated to the applicable expenditure headings
