International Gaucher Alliance Limited
Notes to the Accounts
for the year ended 31 December 2025


1	Accounting policies

	Basis of preparation
	The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), Accounting and Reporting by Charities and FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (as applied to small entities by section 1A of the standard) and the Companies Act 2006. As such the charity has taken advantage of the exemption available not to present a Cash Flow statement. International Gaucher Alliance Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

`	Departure from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008
	The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view'. This departure has involved following SORP 2015 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 (SORP 2005) which has since been withdrawn.

	Going concern
	The charitable activities are entirely dependent on continuing grant aid and voluntary donations. As a consequence, the going concern basis is dependent on the future flow of these uncertain funding streams. Accordingly, the Trustees have obtained forecasts and, after reviewing the financial forecasts for future periods to 31 December 2026, the Trustees are satisfied that, at the time of approving the financial statements, it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Other than these matters, the Trustees are not aware of any material uncertainites about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

	Fund Accounting
	Funds held by the charity are either: Unrestricted funds are available for the use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for a particular purpose. Restricted funds are subject to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of appeal.

	Income
	Income received from subscriptions, donations, Gift Aid Tax and activities is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached the item of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be reliably measured. Accruals are made for monies received on fund generating activities that were held during the financial year but received after the financial year end up to the date these financial statements were approved by the trustee/directors. Income received in advance of the provision of services is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

	Donated services
	Donated services and facilities are included in the accounts on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity. All donated services and facilities are recognised as donation income when received, (provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably) and recognised as an expense with an equivalent value.

	Expenditure
	Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable tht a settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Resources expended are included in the Statements of Financial Activities on an accrual basis, inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered. Where applicable they have been charged directly to the funds and activities to which they relate.

	Fixed Asset Investments
	Interests in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

	Intangible fixed assets
	Website development costs are being written off in equal annual instalments over its estimated economic life of 5 years.


	Tangible fixed assets
	Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:
	Plant and machinery					over 4 years

	Debtors
	Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.

	Creditors
	Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method.

	Pensions
	Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed in the period to which they relate.
