  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

    Turnover policy

    Income from tax reclaims is included in the SOFA when due. All gifts and donations are accounted for on a receivable basis. Grants are recognised in the statement of financial activities, when there is reasonable assurance that:i) the charity will comply with the conditions attaching to them; andii) the grants will be receivedGifts received in kind are valued by the trustees at their approximate market value and included within income and expenditure.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Fixed assets are shown at cost. Items of a capital nature and costing in excess of £500 are capitalised. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life as follows:Land 0% per annumFreehold property 2% per annumFurniture and Equipment 20% per annumOffice Equipment, Audio Visual equipment 25% per annumVehicles 25% per annum

    Other accounting policies

    (g) PensionsThe company operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. Contributions payable are charged to the financial statements in the period they are payable.(h) Finance and operating leasesRentals applicable to operating leases are charged to the SOFA over the period in which the cost is incurred. Assets purchased under finance lease are capitalised as fixed assets. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors. The difference between the capitalised cost and the total obligation under the lease represents the finance charges. Finance charges are written-off to the SOFA over the period of the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge.(i) Impairment of fixed assetsAt each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those suffering an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).(j) Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.(k) Financial instrumentsThe charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” and Section 12 “Other Financial Instruments Issues” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.Financial instruments are recognised in the charity’s balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.(l) Basic financial assetsBasic 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 interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.(m) Basic financial liabilitiesBasic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.(n) Employee benefitsThe cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. Each term we check that employees are on track in booking annual leave, and consider that this is adequate to ensure that no adjustment at year-end is required for our small number of employees.Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
