  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Financial Reporting Standard 101

    Turnover policy

    Rent, services and fees for housing related support are recognised in the period to which they relate. Grants are accounted for under the accrual method. Donations are recognised when the group is entitled to the income, the receipt is probable, and the amount reliably measured. Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset. Revenue from the property sales is recognised when exchange of contracts has taken place.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Tangible fixed assets (including housing properties) are measured at cost net of depreciation and any impairment losses. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: Freehold land Not depreciated Freehold buildings 65 years straight line Fixtures, fittings, and equipment 10% straight line Development expenditure Not depreciated Motor vehicles 5 years straight line
