Accounting convention The Annual Accounts and Notes have been prepared under the historical cost convention modified to reflect changes in the value of fixed assets and in accordance with the Resource Accounting Manual issued by HM Treasury. 2. Accounting policies 'The statement of the accounting policies, which have been adopted, is shown at Note 1.O. From I April 2002, the NHS Board has complied with the Resource Accounting Manual (RAM issued by HM Treasury with the Operating Cost Statement replacing an Income and Expenditure Accol-lnt and the General Fund replacing capital and revenue reserves on the Balance Sheet. Lothian Urliversity Hospitals NHS Trust was dissolved on 1 January 2004. The assets and liabilities of the Trust were transferred to Lothian NHS Board at that date. This transfer has been accounted for using merger accounting, as directed by the Resource Accounting Manual. The main effect of this is that the results and cash flows of the Trust for the period ended 31 March 2004 are brought into account from the start of the financial year as if the transfer had occurred on that date and the prior year comparatives have been restated as if the transfer had occurred at the start of that year. Prior to the introduction of resource accounting, Health Boards accounted for early retirement costs which arose prior to 1 April 1995 in the years in which the costs arose and did not reflect the full lifetime liability arising from the decision to allow early retirement.
