Notes to the Accounts |
|
|
As at 31 March 2006 |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Principal Accounting Policies |
|
|
|
|
| Accounting Convention |
|
|
|
|
|
| The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting Guidance |
| Notes for Local Councils (the Guide) issued by The Chartered Institute of Public Finance |
| and Accountancy (CIPFA) as applicable to a medium sized council. |
|
|
|
|
| As a consequence the latest accounting policies, as set out in the Guide and so far as they |
| apply to this Council, have been adopted for the Council's statements of account. |
|
|
|
| Debtors and Creditors |
|
|
|
|
|
| The revenue accounts of the Council are maintained on an accruals basis in accordance |
| with the guide. That is sums due to or from the Council during the year are included whether |
| or not the cash has actually been received or paid in the year. Exceptions to this are payment |
| of insurance premiums and regular quarterly accounts (e.g. telephones, electricity). This |
| policy is applied consistently each year. Therefore, it will not have a material effect on the |
| year's accounts or on the Council's annual budget. |
|
|
|
|
| Reserves |
|
|
|
|
|
| The Council maintains certain reserves to meet general and specific future expenditure. The |
| purpose of the Council's reserves is explained in note 6. |
