  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    Turnover policy

    Turnover shown in the profit and loss account represents revenue earned during the period, exclusive of Value Added Tax.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:Freehold buildings - 2% on cost or revalued amounts, Plant and Machinery - 15% on cost, Fixtures and fittings - 10% on cost, Motor vehicles - 25% on cost.

    Intangible fixed assets amortisation policy

    Intangible fixed assets (including purchased goodwill and patents) are amortised at rates calculated to write off the assets on a straight basis over their estimated useful economic lives, not to exceed twenty years.Impairment of intangible assets is only reviewed where circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be fully recoverable.

    Other accounting policies

    Current TaxCurrent tax is recognised in the profit and loss account, except to the extent that it is attributable to a gain or loss that has been recognised directly in the statement of total recognised gains or losses. In this case, tax is recognised in this statement. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to be paid or recovered using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.Deferred TaxDeferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. Provision for liabilities Provisions are recognised when it is probable that a present obligation exists, as a result of a past event, and a transfer of economic benefits is required in settlement that can be estimated reliably.Provisions are recorded at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. A review is carried out at each balance sheet date and the amount adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.Where discounting is used, the unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in the profit and loss account.Financial instrumentsFinancial instruments are classified and accounted for according to the substance of contractual arrangements, as either financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments.Operating leasesLeases are classified as operating leases where substantially all the benefits of ownerships remain with the lessor. Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Company activities and impact

Museum of Colour CIC (MoC) is an arts and heritage enterprise currently incubated at People’s Palace Projects. MoC registered as a C.I.C. limited by guarantee in July 2020. The company is building a digital museum to explore the contributions made by People of Colour to the nation’s culture and creativity from 1766 – 2016. MoC build exhibitions centered on portraits, interviews, podcasts and a growing collection of donations. In the financial year 2020-2021, the company had to halt forward motion on art form exhibitions for poetry and dance and instead adapted the concept to deliver a remote exhibition called Respect Due: - Contemporary practitioners nominated someone they wished to pay public respect to. A portrait was commissioned of their nominated person and an interview was conducted in a written interview or a podcast. The nominated person donated an item of significance to the Museum of Colour which stays in our permanent collection online. - 36 nominees and nominators participated. All of these people were from minority ethnic backgrounds from a range of professions and industries. - The Podcast series was well received and allowed us to share the conversations and oral histories from our nominees in a more far ranging way, as they are available on Spotify, Acast, Soundcloud, Google Podcast and Apple Music. There were over 150 listens across all episodes in the first 2 weeks of release. This exhibition has definitely reached a non-museum going audience. - 15 of the 18 portrait subjects were personally able to tell their own stories that will be held for future generations and show the significant contribution they have made to this country.We complemented the exhibition with a response gallery, where we commissioned contemporary artists to respond to existing British heritage, using the perspectives of artists to broaden our discussions of history.
