and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared |
under the historical cost convention. |
Income |
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the |
funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. |
Expenditure |
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation |
committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be |
required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is |
accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost |
related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have |
been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. |

Fund accounting |
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the |
trustees. |
