The financial statements are prepared on an accrual basis. 2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Polices The accounting policies adopted for preparation of project's financial statements, which will be consistent with those of subsequent years, are shown below. a) Foreign Currency Transaction The Tanzania shilling is the project's functional and presentation currency. 1b) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and bank balances in the statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, and is measured at amortized cost. For the purpose of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. C) Revenue Recognition The Project receives its revenue from the IDA in line with the signed Loan Agreement between the World Bank and the Government of Tanzania. Grants Revenue from the World Bank is accounted for on accrual basis. Grants from the World Bank are revenue from Non exchange transactions and are recognized in the financial statements when it is probable that future economic benefit will flow to the project and if the benefit are reliably measured. IPSAS 23 Para 44 requires the inflow of resources from non-exchange transaction to be recognised both as revenue and an asset except to the extent that a tiabiLity is also recognized in respect of the same inflow. Grants are recognised as income when such condition have been received and expensed to match expenditure incurred with Grants received. 22 Controller and Auditor GeneralAR/CG/EASTRIP/DIT/2020/21 DAR ES SALAAM INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY EASTRIP FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE, 2021 d) Going Concern Assumption The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern assumption.

However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the assets or liability affected in the future. In the process of applying the project's accounting policies, management has made no specific judgment. g) Related Parties The Project regards a related party as a person or an entity with the ability to exert control individually or jointly, or to exercise significant influence over the project or vice versa.
