KIRKLEES COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, have pleasure in submitting their report and audited accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, the Charities SORP (FRS102) ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)’ and Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’. The company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
Company Status
The company, which is a registered charity (Charity Registration No. 1032305), is limited by guarantee without share capital. The company is controlled by its governing document, the Memorandum and Articles of Association.
Organisational Structure
A Management Board comprising of up to 12 Directors controls the Association, which includes Councillors of Kirklees Metropolitan Council (KMC), members of the private sector, and members of the voluntary sector. Board meetings are held on a regular basis, and sub-committees are convened to deal with specific issues as and when required.
The company controls its subsidiary company, Kirklees Housing Association Limited (KHA), with four of the trustees making up the majority of the board of KHA.
Paulette Johnson joined the Board as an independent Director in December 2022. In June 2023 Kirklees Council advised of the resignation of Cllr Carole Pattison and the appointment of Cllr Paul Moore as Council appointed Director.
Staff resources continued to be an issue since the resignation of the previous KCA Project Officer in March 2022. The Board fully appreciate the continued support provided to the organisation by the dedicated and enthusiastic work of Nicki Cartwright and Mike France and in particular their co-operation in taking on additional workload.
The Board is delighted to acknowledge the appointment, in conjunction with the Council, of a new KCA Project Officer (Rachael Renton) in July 2023. It is anticipated that Rachael will be full time on KCA activity from autumn 2023.
With regard to induction and training of trustees a comprehensive induction pack containing specific Kirklees Community Association information and more general Charity Commission information has been prepared for all new trustees. Trustees receive training through information briefings as part of board meetings.
Principal Activities
The principal objectives of the group are to promote a range of community facilities including housing, educational, recreational, cultural and general community benefits in the Kirklees area.
Review of Activities
The group has continued throughout the year to provide low-cost and affordable rented accommodation for individuals and families through its portfolio of social housing and housing for social benefit developments around Kirklees. These include Holmfirth, Paddock, Gomersal, Golcar, Milnsbridge, Ravensthorpe, Chickenley, Mirfield and Birstall. The group also has a smaller property investment portfolio where it rents property out to third parties on a market rent basis.
The staffing situation has impacted on the ability of the Board to both review existing policies and develop new initiatives which has been a source of frustration to the Board.
Discussions remain in progress with Kirklees Council over the working arrangements between the two parties and the future activities of KCA. The joint appointment of a new KCA Project Officer is seen as a very positive step in developing future working relations.
Plans and key objectives for the future
The board will continue to seek and create opportunities and the key objective is to be in a position to use its flexibility to take up opportunities as they arise and to demonstrate that they are actively supporting the council in achieving their housing policies. The key priorities for the future are:
-
Identifying partnership opportunities;
-
Providing housing to specialist vulnerable groups;

KIRKLEES COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED) (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
-
Maintaining KCA’s ability to respond swiftly to new opportunities;
-
Maintaining the existing stock to a high standard.
Public benefit
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives.
Working for the public benefit of Kirklees underpins the reason for KCA. Projects are broadly aimed at enhancing the quality of life for people, particularly those in need.
The provision of affordable housing to individuals and families in need of housing is a direct public benefit. KCA housing assets of around 200 units provide good quality, affordable housing which would otherwise not be available and helps tackle social exclusion and poverty. Allocations to the properties are based on need primarily using the local authority Choice Based Letting system. Rents are set to be around the Local Housing Allowance levels or are regulated by the Homes and Communities Agency to make sure that they are affordable to those in need.
The wider regeneration work that KCA is undertaking, particularly in the Fieldhead area, is of public benefit by enhancing the physical environment and life chances of the residents of the area.
Fundraising
The group does not carry out fundraising activities.
Financial review
During the year the principal source of income continued to be from the provision of housing, with this income remaining steady year on year. The main variances in net income this year compared with the prior year are the impact of the revaluation of fixed assets, overall gain of £329,873 this year (2022 – overall gain £383,304) and the increase in property repairs and sinking fund property repairs of £351,144 (2022 - £163,991). In the current year the group has repaid grant income of £53,824 (2022 – NIL) and in the prior year recognised £130,681 in relation to the release of a retention. After recognising other revaluation losses of £182,662 (2022 – Gains of £24,496) which are reported as funds movements, the group had a surplus for the year ended 31 March 2023 of £78,892 (2022 - £813,345). The group at 31 March 2023 had fixed assets of £18,503,494 (2022 - £18,046,743) with the increase arising from the purchase and improvement of new and existing investment properties and the revaluation of the housing properties in the year. Repayments have been made against the bank loans in the year with these reducing in total by £142,195. The group had cash at bank of £201,957 (2022 - £569,310) and an overdraft of £346,660 (2022 - £398,432).
Risk Management
The Board undertakes regular risk evaluation. Investment projects are moving more slowly than anticipated due to a lack of project management resource available, the risk of falling behind with required investment is being kept in mind.
The other main risks to KCA as identified by the trustees are the impact welfare reform has on tenants and therefore their rental payments and general financial considerations due to the current volatility of the UK economy and the pressure of huge rises in other living costs on our tenant’s financial position. The welfare impacts are mitigated by links with the local authority and their underwriting of rents, as well as referral processes to support agencies to support tenants with financial issues. There is a standing item for finance updates and decisions at the KCA monthly board meetings.
Health and safety failings and building failures are a risk from a landlord’s point of view. Such risks are mitigated through the use of a management agreement with Kirklees Homes & Neighbourhoods who provide day to day management via a 24 hour helpline to tenants with building concerns. Landlord and building insurance is also in place and is reviewed regularly. The Association is aware of the issues that the increased regulation of registered social landlords responsibilities brings and this issue is kept under review by the Board. The Board takes account of national issues around the provision of rented housing such as fire safety and mould remediation and addresses these issues through targeted investment where required.
Current significant increases in interest rates are a financial risk and the Board considers the balanced long term risk of interest rate movements versus the costs of using fixed rates where appropriate. They continue to consider such risks on an ongoing basis.

TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED) (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Reserves Policy
The trustees aim to build up and retain liquid reserves equivalent to the sinking fund provision for the properties. Liquid reserves, after fixed assets, loans and overdraft, are £169,754 (2022 - £741,579).
At the year end the group is holding unrestricted reserves of £11,028,340 (2022 - £10,871,210). This includes the designated sinking fund of £158,812 (2022 - £333,317) and a revaluation reserve of £2,579,289 (2022 - £2,761,951).
The trustees intend to use any surpluses to contribute to the funding of future schemes and developments, particularly the planned maintenance, and to protect the Trust against identified risks.
Funds
Designated funds are unrestricted funds which are determined by a specific need to set aside funds to fund future costs within the charity. The designated fund is a sinking fund set aside to cover any necessary sizeable/capital repairs expected on an ageing portfolio.
Endowment funds represent income received for the purchase of housing properties where there is an obligation on the charity to hold these assets for use in fulfilling the charity’s objectives. If the properties are sold or no longer used as social housing, this fund is repayable.
Directors
The Directors of the company during the year were:
E Firth D M Firth A Hood R C Iredale G Morrison N Pinnock-Hamilton P W Rock (Chair) C Pattison (resigned after the year end) A L Palfreeman (resigned 8 June 2022) P D McBride (appointed 12 May 2022) P Johnson (appointed 1 December 2022)
P P Moore was appointed as director after 31 March 2023 but prior to the date of this report, appointed 16 June 2023.

KIRKLEES COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
The trustees, who are also the directors of Kirklees Community Association for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the group, and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the group and parent charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s and the group’s transactions and which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and the group, and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and the group, and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

KIRKLEES COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF KIRKLEES COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Kirklees Community Association (the 'charitable group') for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated and Charity Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Cashflow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’.
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and the parent charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of the group’s incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group’s and the parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:
-
the information given in the trustees' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the trustees' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

KIRKLEES COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF KIRKLEES COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees' report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent charitable company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the parent charitable company’s financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies exemptions from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the trustees’ report.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group’s and the parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risk of material misstatement in the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks. In particular, we looked at where the directors made subjective judgements such as making assumptions on significant accounting estimates.
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and noncompliance with laws and regulations, our planning procedures included gaining an understanding of the entity and its environment including the entity's legal and regulatory framework, any fraud indicators and internal control system via both discussions amongst the engagement team and with the directors. We also evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements including the risk of override of controls.
7
KIRKLEES COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF KIRKLEES COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
Based on our understanding of the company and its industry, the key laws and regulations we considered included the UK Companies Act, Charities Act (2011) and relevant tax legislation.
Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included but were not limited to:
-
Evaluating and testing of the operating effectiveness of management's controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities;
-
Discussing with the directors the policies and procedures in place regarding identifying and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
-
Reviewing relevant meeting minutes;
-
Identifying and testing journal entries;
-
Designing audit procedures to incorporate unpredictability around the nature, timing or extent of our testing; and - Reviewing and testing the accounting estimates to minimise potential bias.
The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with both those charged with governance and management. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements the less likely we would become aware of such non-compliance. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, intentional misrepresentations or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

KIRKLEES COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
1 Accounting Policies
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the company's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, the Charities SORP (FRS102) ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)’ and Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’. The company is a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
The trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Basis of consolidation
The Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Cash Flow Statement include the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertaking made up to 31 March 2023. Intra-group sales and profits are eliminated fully on consolidation. The entity has taken exemption from presenting its unconsolidated Statement of Financial Activities under section 408 of Companies Act 2006.
1.4 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds which are determined by specific need to set aside funds to fund future costs within the charity.
The revaluation reserve represents the excesses arising from the revaluation of the freehold properties over the original cost.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds relate to government grants received for the acquisition of housing properties where there are ongoing restrictions as to the use of those properties.
1.5 Incoming resources
All income is generated from the rendering of services. Income is recognised when the company is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Donated assets and services are included at the market value, or where unavailable, the value to the company where this can be quantified.
Grants, including revenue Government grants, are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the year is shown in the relevant funds on the balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Capital grants are recognised when receivable and not deferred over the life of the asset on which expended.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
1 Accounting Policies (continued)
Grants receivable where there is no specific service provision are included within donations and legacies. Grants receivable which are capital in nature or are of a general nature are included within donations and legacies.
1.6 Resources expended
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis.
1.7 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets other than freehold land are stated at cost or valuation less depreciation and any impairment losses. Assets in the course of construction are stated at cost to date. The depreciation charge for the period is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a cost through the relevant fund. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
Social housing, Housing for social benefit 1.75% on cost/valuation excluding cost/valuation attributed to land Fixtures, fittings & equipment 33.33% on cost
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.
Freehold properties acquired are either social housing or housing for social benefit. Freehold properties are included on the balance sheet at their equivalent use value. If a property’s carrying amount is increased as a result of a revaluation, the increase is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as an increase to the relevant fund and accumulated in closing funds. The “relevant fund” means the fund in which the property sits, or the revaluation reserve, according to the following policy: Increases in value are added to the revaluation reserve unless they relate to the reversal of a previously recognised revaluation loss which went through another fund. Similarly, reductions in value are recognised in the revaluation reserve to the extent that they relate to an amount previously recognised in the revaluation reserve; otherwise they will be recognised in the relevant other fund. Hence the revaluation reserve can never fall below zero overall or on a property by property basis.
Previously no depreciation was charged on Social housing and Housing for social benefit, as the properties are revalued annually and the depreciation amounts therefore have no impact of total funds at each period end. The amounts estimated were immaterial until the current accounting period when the cumulative impact on the split of funds between the Revaluation reserve and the General unrestricted fund reached a material level. Therefore depreciation has been implemented for the current and future period. Due to the immaterial amounts assessed as affecting earlier periods, it is considered impractical and of no value to the users of the accounts to make adjustments to those periods.
1.8 Investment properties
Investment properties are included in the balance sheet initially at cost and subsequently at their market value. No depreciation is provided on the investment properties.
Although this accounting policy is in accordance with FRS 102, it is a departure from the general requirement of the Companies Act 2006 for all tangible assets to be depreciated. In the opinion of the trustees, compliance with FRS 102 is necessary for the financial statements to give a true and fair view. Depreciation is only one of the many factors reflected in the annual valuation and the amount of this which might otherwise have been charged cannot be separately identified or quantified. There is an annual revaluation of the investment properties.
1.9 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

KIRKLEES COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
1 Accounting Policies (continued)
1.10 Financial instruments
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are measured at transaction price including transaction costs less any impairment.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic short term financial liabilities, which include creditors, are recognised at transaction price. Debt instruments are measured initially at transaction price, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.11 Company information
Kirklees Community Association is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is PO Box 1720, Kirklees Council Kirklees Community Association, c/o Kirklees Council, Huddersfield,HD1 9EL. The company's registered number is 02796002.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the company's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised. The nature of the estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below. The carrying amount of the estimates and assumptions at the year end are disclosed in the relevant note to the accounts.
Categorisation of housing properties
Properties that are held to earn commercial rentals or for capital appreciation, or both, are categorised as investment properties. Properties rented to provide social housing are classed as social housing. Other properties rented as low-cost accommodation are classed as housing for social benefit.
Valuation of investment property and freehold property
Investment property is included on the balance sheet at fair value. The trustees estimate this based on annual professional valuations prepared on a market value basis, which they consider to be equivalent to fair value.

KIRKLEES COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements (continued)
Freehold properties acquired are either social housing or housing for social benefit. Freehold properties are included on the balance sheet at fair value. The trustees estimate fair value based on annual professional valuations prepared on an equivalent use value for social housing basis, which the trustees consider to be equivalent to fair value.
Useful economic lives of tangible fixed assets
The annual depreciation charge for tangible fixed assets other than freehold land and investment properties is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets, which are reassessed annually. They are amended where necessary to reflect current estimates, based on economic utilisation, physical condition of the assets, future investments, and the mix of components making up the assets.

12 Fixed assets (continued)
The valuations were carried out by Bramleys. Valuations were provided on a market value basis as defined by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors Valuation - Global Standards 2022. Compliance with the RICS Professional Standards and Valuation Practice Statements gives assurance also of compliance with the International Valuation Standards (IVS). The valuation has been undertaken using the comparable and investment approaches with transactions of other similar type and quality of property in the locality having been taken into consideration and an investment yield has been applied. The yield and therefore valuation reflects the nature of the tenancy and the rental income produced.
Investment properties were valued on a market value basis.
Social Housing and Housing for Social Benefit were valued on EUV-SH (Existing Use for Social Housing).
Bramleys considered the principle difference in EUV-SH basis of value is that the property will continue to be let by a body pursuant to delivery of a service for the existing use and that the vendor would only be able to dispose of the property to organisations intending to manage the housing stock in accordance with the regulatory body's requirement. This definition of value is therefore on the basis of the existing use for social housing and reflects the rental income stream.
If the revalued assets had not been revalued, they would have been carried at the following historic cost:

Fixed assets with a total carrying amount of £14,305,000 (2022 - £14,663,500) have been pledged to secure borrowings of the company. The company is not allowed to pledge these assets as security for other borrowings or to sell them to another entity.
Housing for Social Benefit with a carrying amount of £755,250 (2022 - £763,000) relates to shared ownership properties. The carrying amount is 50% of the properties’ total value, corresponding to the company’s ownership percentage.
The properties at 19-23 Dale View, Longwood were transferred to the company at nil cost, but were introduced at a market value of £375,000 in accordance with the company's accounting policy.

Endowment funds represent income received for the purchase of housing properties where there is an obligation on the charity to hold these assets for use in fulfilling the charity’s objectives. If the properties are sold or no longer used as social housing, this fund is repayable.
During the year repayment of a grant has been made in respect of a property that has been sold. The repayment amount agreed was less than the amount held in the endowment fund therefore the remaining balance of £24,414 has been transferred to general unrestricted funds.

The designated funds of the charity have been set aside out of unrestricted funds by the trustees in order to build a sinking fund. A transfer into the sinking fund to cover maintenance and refurbishment of the properties held is made annually based on 1% of the revalued cost of the properties.
General unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
The revaluation reserve represents the excesses arising from the revaluation of the freehold properties over the original cost less accumulated depreciation.
