Thanks, Murugan.

Some years ago I set up a Liability Account for cash received specifically for 
bursaries but was advised by the accountant who examines our books prior to 
their submission to the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (“OSCR”) that 
this wasn’t acceptable under Scottish charity accounting rules - we should keep 
track of this cash separately from our books.

We don’t have any such restricted funds now, and meet the cost of bursaries 
along with general expenditure.

Our accountant does the examination of our books for a nominal sum, but I may 
have to impose this query on him to be sure of avoiding wasting his time when I 
submit our records for his approval.

Regards,

Michael
