Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2008

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies

Reporting Entity

The Community Trust of Wellington (“the Trust”) is an incorporated Charitable Trust under the Charitable Trusts Act 1957.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (GAAP) in New Zealand. They comply with the New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and other Financial Reporting Standards as appropriate for not-for-profit entities that qualify for and apply differential reporting concessions.

Basis of Preparation

The accounting principles recognised as appropriate for the measurement and reporting of the income statement and balance sheet on a historical cost basis are followed by the Trust, except that certain investments are disclosed at fair value.

The information is presented in New Zealand dollars as it is the functional and presentational currency.

Differential Reporting

The Trust qualifies for differential reporting as it is not publicly accountable, and is not large as defined by the Framework for Differential Reporting. The Trust has taken advantage of all available differential exemptions.

The Trust changed its accounting policies on 1 April 2007 to comply with NZ IFRS. The transition to NZ IFRS is accounted for in accordance with NZ IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards, with 1 April 2006 as the date of transition. An explanation of how the transition from superseded policies to NZ IFRS has affected the Trust’s balance sheet and income statement is discussed in note 13.
