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

    Turnover policy

    YUNIYA CIC recognises turnover in accordance with the accruals basis of accounting. Income is recognised when it is earned, rather than when it is received. This includes income from grants, workshop fees, and other contributions from external agencies. The following principles apply: Grant Income: Grant income is recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the conditions attached to it have been, or are likely to be, met. For restricted grants, income is recognised as turnover when the specific conditions for the use of the grant are fulfilled. If grants are provided in instalments, each instalment is recognised as income when it is received, provided the conditions have been met. Workshop Income: Income from workshops delivered in collaboration with external agencies is recognised when the workshop is held. If payments are received in advance for future workshops, they are recorded as deferred income until the workshop takes place. Other Funding or Contributions: Income from other funding sources, including donations and project-specific contributions, is recognised when the funds are received and any conditions for their use are clear and likely to be met. Restricted Funds: Income from restricted funds is recognised separately and only when the funds are used for the specific purposes set by the funder. Unspent restricted funds are held as liabilities until expended.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    YUNIYA CIC applies depreciation to its tangible fixed assets in accordance with the provisions of Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102). Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the assets' estimated useful lives, considering their residual values. The following principles apply: Depreciation Method: The straight-line method allocates the cost of each asset evenly over its useful life, reflecting the consumption of the asset's economic value over time. Estimated Useful Life: The estimated useful life of tangible fixed assets is reviewed annually. The following categories of assets are depreciated over the respective periods: Equipment and Furniture: 3 to 5 years Other Fixed Assets: Depreciated based on their expected usage and condition, with an appropriate period determined accordingly. Residual Value: The residual value of tangible fixed assets is reviewed annually and is factored into the depreciation calculation. If no residual value is expected, depreciation is based on the full cost of the asset. Impairment of Assets: If there is an indication that an asset has become impaired (i.e., its recoverable amount is less than its carrying value), a review is conducted, and the carrying value of the asset is adjusted accordingly.
