The Pirie Rankin Charitable Trust Notes to the Accounts 1 Accounting policies Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 (as updated through Update Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016), the provisions of FRS 102 Section la small entities, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity. The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. Reconciliation with previous Generally Accepted Accounting Practice The Charity adopted SORP (FRS 102) in the current year and in preparing the accounts, the Trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102, the restatement of comparative items was required. The transition date was 31 July 2015. ln accordance with the requirements of FRS 102 a reconciliation of opening balances and net income/(expenditure) for the year is provided with the net income/(expenditure) under previous GAAP adjusted for the presentation of investment gains/ (losses) as a component of reported income. Reconciliation of reported net income Net income/(expenditure) as previously stated 2,298,417.09 Adjustment for gains on investments now treated as a component of net income 211,130.73 2016 net income as restated 2,509,547.82 Income Income comprises of income from investments, deposits and donations which is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) in the year in which it is receivable. All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, there is sufficient certainty of receipt and so it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Interest on funds held on deposit is included upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due. This is normally upon notification by our investment advisor of the dividend yield of the investment portfolio. Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is included on an accruals basis and is recognised when there is legal obligation to pay for expenditure. VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it is incurred. Irrecoverable Charitable activities include expenditure associated with grant making. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources. The cost of raising funds is charged against investment capital, reflecting the total return approach to investment management. Any costs associated with the sale or purchase of investments are accounted for as part of the sale or purchase price of the investments. Investment Policy Investments are included at market value. Realised gains and losses, representing the difference between sale proceeds and opening market value are dealt with in the SOFA. Unrealised gains and losses, representing the movement in the market value of investments over the financial year, or from the date of purchase if acquired during the financial year, are shown in the relevant note. ln the case of a permanent diminution in the value of investments, provision is made in the SOFA to reduce the carrying value of the recoverable amount. Financial Instruments The Trust only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments other than investments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. Grants Grants comprise those paid in the accounting period and, when applicable, include grants payable in future periods where there exists a legal obligation to make such payments. Page 9
