## Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 January 2025

- ## 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 is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably. All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (‘SOFA’) when the Trust is legally entitled to the income, is reasonably certain of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. Donations and legacies are recognised in the SOFA in the period in which they are received and paid. - Income from charitable activities: Grant funding from Sport England, KP Snacks and IG Index is recognised in the period to which it relates and matched to the appropriate grant expenditure in England. - Investment income: interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable, and/or the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank and is requested at year-end. Grants payable are made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objectives of the Trust: either revenue grants (Recreational Cricket Boards and cricketing charities) or capital grants (cricket clubs and other appropriate applicants, e.g. local authorities).
