17 8. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below: 8.1 Statement of compliance and basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with and comply with International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) with particular emphasis on Cash Basis Financial Reporting under the Cash Basis of Accounting. The financial statements comply with and conform to the form of presentation prescribed by the Accounting Standards Board of Kenya. The financial statements are presented in Kenya Shillings, which is the functional and reporting currency of the Project and all values are rounded to the nearest one Shilling. The accounting policies adopted have been consistently applied to all of the years presented. The financial statements have been prepared on the cash basis following the Government's standard chart of accounts. The cash basis of accounting recognises transactions and events only when cash is received or paid out by the Project. I. Recognition of revenue and expenses The Project recognises all revenues from the various sources when the event occurs and the related cash has actually been received by the Project. In addition, the Project recognises all expenses when the event occurs and the related cash has actually been paid out by the Project. 11. In-kind donations In-kind donations are contributions made to the Project in the form of actual goods and/or services rather than in money or cash terms. These donations may include vehicles, equipment or personnel services. Where the financial value of in-kind donations can be reliably determined, the Project includes such value in the statement of receipts and payments both as revenue and as an expense in equal and opposite amounts; otherwise, the donation is not recorded. m. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and cash at bank, short-term deposits on call and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. Bank account balances include amounts held at the Central Bank of Kenya and at various commercial banks at the end of the financial year/period. For the purposes of these financial statements, cash and cash equivalents also include short term cash imprests and advances to authorised public officers and/or institutions which had not been surrendered or accounted for at the end of the financial year/period. 5

18 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) iv. Pending bills Pending bills consist of unpaid liabilities at the end of the financial year/period arising from contracted goods or services during the year/period or in past years/periods. As pending bills do not involve the payment of cash in the reporting period, they are simply disclosed as an Annex to the financial statements. When the pending bills are finally settled, such payments are included in the statement of receipts and payments in the year in which the payments are made. v. Budget The budget is developed on the same accounting basis (cash basis), the same accounts classification basis, and for the same period as the financial statements. The Project's budget was approved as required by Law and National Treasury Regulations, as well as by the participating development partners, as detailed in the Government of Kenya Budget Printed Estimates for the year. A high-level assessment of the Project's actual performance against the comparable budget for the financial year/period under review has been included in an annex to these financial statements. vi. Exchange rate differences The accounting records are maintained in the functional currency of the primary economic environment in which the Project operates, Kenya Shillings. Transactions in foreign currencies during the year/period are converted into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Any foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statements of receipts and payments. vii. Comparative figures Where necessary comparative figures for the previous financial year/period have been amended or reconfigured to conform to the required changes in financial statement presentation. viii. Subsequent events There have been no events subsequent to the financial year/period end with a significant impact on the financial statements for the year ended June 30,
