TRUSTEES' REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of Royds Community Association for the period 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021. These are also prepared to meet the requirements for a director's report and accounts for Companies Act purposes.

Objectives and activities

Policies and objectives

The objectives of the charity are laid down in the Memorandum and Articles of Association:

Aims of the Charity

To be a locally and nationally respected organisation which supports communities and individuals to improve their quality of life. It aims to build confidence and skills in others to enable them to take control of their social, environmental and economic circumstances.

We have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. All our charitable activities are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit.

Objectives for the year

Our objectives for the year were as follows:

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Objectives and activities (continued)

The need for Royds

Our main area of community focus is the Royds ward. This is one of six wards in the Bradford South area, stretching from Horton Bank in the north to Royds Hill in the south. It contains the communities of Buttershaw and Woodside and also includes parts of Wibsey, Low Moor and Horton Bank Top.

Our area is affected by multiple indicators of deprivation with above district average levels of worklessness, low levels of school attainment and higher levels of domestic violence.

Hospital admissions are higher than most other wards, particularly In relation to cancer, trauma, and is relatively high in relation to stroke, diabetes and hyper tension. Residents have not engaged well with health services and do not have the same aspirations for better health as other areas.

Requests for social care support are higher in Royds than surrounding areas. The number of people who are in receipt of long term care is higher than surrounding areas.

Strategies for achieving objectives

Our strategy for achieving our aims and objectives involves an annual review of existing programmes based on regular monitoring, and scrutiny of new programme proposals to ensure they are in line with our overall objectives. The Executive develop and present an annual business plan with key performance indicators to performance manage against objectives for approval by the Board. The pre Covid-19 economic climate led the charity to develop and operate programmes with innovative funding models and operate many of them through collaborative arrangements with partner organisations, as we move into a period of Covid-recovery the need for innovative and flexible approaches will increase.

To achieve the aims and objectives of the charity, programmes may be run as contracted activity, as commissioned activity, as grant funded activity, or as a result of earned income from our unrestricted income sources such as buildings and assets. Community services such as community centres, advice and community development are subsidised from unrestricted profitable income, and this ensures the charity can continue to meet local need.

Covid-19 created an unprecedented level of financial and economic strain for Royds, our communities and the general economy. Whilst the initial impacts of this were felt in the first quarter of the year we were able to align our organisation to continue trading where it was safe to do so and support our tenants to do likewise. The resilience and agility needed to do this will stand us in good stead as we progress through the period of national recovery.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Achievements and performance

Review of activities

The charity continues to provide excellent services to its beneficiaries and strives to improve on the current offer and to create new services based on demand or need. Our main areas of work/activity are:

Employment and Training - Royds has a number of meeting rooms that allow ourselves or partners to deliver high quality training from technical and organisational updates to sessions focused on mental health and wellbeing issues. These have been predominantly closed during the period of the pandemic.

New Horizons Adult Care - deliverability was impacted by the pandemic with the service being transformed into a remote support service. We are planning to build upon our successful befriending service and relaunch the Wellbeing Café to support a wider client group.

Consortium and Partnership Programmes - Royds works in partnership with many different organisations including the NHS. Our main partnership project has been a major new social proscribing programme

Royds Enterprise Park

The Enterprise Park is the major source of unrestricted income for the charity which is generated from rental income, room hire and service charges. The Park has performed well throughout the year of the pandemic and we have provided support to a number of our tenants.

The Enterprise Park generates real jobs via its business tenants and many of these are taken by local residents.

Royds Healthy Living Centre

Royds has started refurbishment of this community asset so it can continue to provide valuable primary care health services to local residents, particularly in the Buttershaw area, through the ownership of the Royds Healthy Living Centre which is tenanted by the Ridge Medical Practice.

Buttershaw Millennium Green adjoins the Healthy Living Centre. This is a small urban park which Royds owns and manages, and this provides attractive green space at the centre of the estate.

Woodside Village Centre

Royds continues to provide support to the local community of Woodside through the ownership of the Woodside Village Centre. A wide variety of groups will be supported to use the centre post pandemic including the refurbishment of the community café.

Royds Shops - Our two shops are in the same complex as Woodside Village Centre and provide a hot food takeaway outlet and a mini market which benefits both the tenants of the shops and the local residents.

Delph Hill Centre

Post pandemic we plan to rebuild support services provided from the centre. Bradford Youth Services have continued to remain the primary service provider at the facility when COVID guidelines have allowed.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Achievements and performance (continued)

Other Community Based Activity

Despite the challenges the year has brought, Royds have also been successful in the winning of several additional grant funded activity during 20/21. These include a community-based exercise group that has been well received and successful in building new friendships. The group has just secured additional grant funding to continue for another season. Grants have also been awarded for arts and day trips. Royds intend to continue to seek out smaller grants for activities that support their objectives in the Royds ward.

Arise Yorkshire Limited

Royds is one of four equal partners with two nominated directors of the Arise Yorkshire Limited regeneration company. Arise has delivered two DCLG contracts to bring 21 empty properties into use as low cost social housing. Arise is exploring expansion of its housing portfolio. It is also working with statutory agencies on developing the community anchor model, and has delivered a contact for the CCGs.

Royds Community Association (Subsidiary) Limited

Royds wholly owned trading subsidiary for carrying out non-charitable activities. However, as the charity has not needed a separate vehicle to conduct any of its activities, Royds Subsidiary continues to be a dormant company. There is no activity against which to report for the year.

Financial review

Going concern

The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis on the assumption that the charity is able to carry on operating as a going concern in the foreseeable future, which the trustees consider appropriate having regard to the following:

Reserves policy

The Board of Royds Community Association aims to develop a prudent level of reserves equivalent to three months normal trading costs.

Page 5

ROYDS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

(A Company Limited by Guarantee)

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Free reserves

Free reserves provide liquidity that reduces to a minimum the need for short or long term borrowing and the levels of interest or debt associated, thus serving as a protection in the face of unexpected trading variations or cost increases. A target of £500,000 in free reserves has been set to allow for 2 to 3 months operating expenditure. The charitable company's intention is to generate annual surpluses in the medium term to reach this target. Free reserves as at 31 March 2021 were (£2,783) (2020 - £32,227).

Financial review

The charity's total income for the financial year 2020/21 year was £547,451 (2020 - £617,949), total expenditure, including depreciation, was £708,093 (2020 - £770,279) resulting in a deficit for the year of £160,642 (2020 - £39,330).

Depreciation of £129,153 is included in the above figures.

The charity receives restricted funds either through contracting arrangements or in the form of grants from organisations and generates unrestricted funds through rental income and provision of services in its buildings. The major funders during the year were Bradford Metropolitan District Council (Commissioning Unit and Public Health).

Royds exited the West Yorkshire Pension Fund in June 2020, the exit valuation at 30 June 2020 showed a liability of £1,253,000, which has resulted in an actuarial loss for the year of £810,000. The total liability is accounted for within other creditors.

Grant making policy

Grants are made in accordance with the original purpose and conditions of the grant, and procedures are adopted in accordance with the relevant funding agreements.

Investment policy

Any funds that are held for immediate cash flow needs are held in cash or short term deposits. Any remaining funds can be held as a medium term investment.

Structure, governance and management

Constitution

Royds Community Association is a Registered Charity and a company limited by guarantee. It is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. The charity has one trading subsidiary, which was dormant in this year. The charity is governed by a board of up to 16 trustees who are responsible for implementing the policies of the organisation. Trustees are on the board for an unlimited period. All of the trustees are also members of the Charitable Company. The Board initiated an internal Governance review in July 2020 and implemented a number of changes during the year.

Page 6

ROYDS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

(A Company Limited by Guarantee)

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Structure, governance and management (continued)

Methods of appointment or election of Trustees

The appointment of directors is governed by Articles 20 and 21 of the charity's Articles of Association which provide for the appointment of Local Directors and Institutional Directors, being the company members of the same name. Local Members/Directors and Institutional Directors are recruited through a formal application and selection process, or may be co-opted for their particular knowledge or expertise.

Organisational structure and decision-making policies

The board meets bi-monthly and conducts its business against presented reports and trustee discussion. All decisions are minuted and action lists are compiled following meetings. The board meet annually to review its governance, delivery and future plans. The charity operates a series of committees which report to the full board.

The Finance Committee meets monthly to consider management accounts, cash flow and day-to-day financial control. The Community Committee meets quarterly to consider the running of our community centres, our health, adult care and welfare programmes, and the development of the charities social aims.

The Asset Committee meets monthly to consider the management of the charity's buildings, maintenance and development, and new capital programmes. The committees receive some delegated decision making powers from the board from time to time. The Chief Executive Officer has delegated responsibility for day-to-day-decision making and for limited spending, both against polices agreed previously by the board.

Covid-19 caused significant disruption with our normal governance arrangements by necessity suspended. In their place regular electronic meetings have taken place involving all available Board members. A hybrid meeting structure will continue going forward.

Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees

The board has a recruitment and selection policy which includes the recruitment of trustee directors. New directors are offered an induction programme, and the opportunity to shadow other directors. The board also engages in review and training programmes at least once a year. Potential trustee directors are allowed to sit in on board meetings prior to joining in order to understand the business of the charity, and to prepare for taking part in the business of the organisation.

Financial risk management

The charity continually reviews the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Where appropriate, the systems and procedures have been established to manage the risks that the charity faces. The CEO reports to all board meetings of the risk established as part of the annual business planning process. The charity has policies and governance structures for finance, health and safety, recruitment and selection, use of volunteers, equality of opportunity, quality management and risk assessment.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Structure, governance and management (continued)

Staffing structure

The day to day management of Royds is led by the organisation CEO. The CEO works closely with the Board to set and oversee the delivery of our business strategy.

We employ finance and facilities assistants to oversee the core business and asset management functions. Our community projects are delivered by suitably trained and experienced project staff. The oversight of this area of our work is currently under review with the CEO taking the lead.

Royds’ long serving CEO retired in June 2020 and an experienced Interim-CEO was appointed to ensure Royds has strong and clear operational leadership. We were very pleased to appoint our new CEO in April 2021 after two comprehensive recruitment processes. Our new CEO has already made a significant positive impact to our charitable and trading performance.

Plans for future periods

The charity has had a decade of financially successful years (after excluding depreciation) and will continue to build on this positive success in 2021/22 in the key areas of health, the economy and community empowerment.

The delivery model for the charity is underpinned by the generation of surpluses from unrestricted income – primarily Royds Enterprise Park - to subsidise areas of work which are unable to generate income such as community or youth support, and this continues to allow the charity to deliver against its charitable objectives within a stable financial model. We will continue to work with partners to address local issues and needs. We will also continue to develop collaborative arrangements to attract funds and contracts.

Royds community buildings continue to be at the heart of our charitable delivery, providing economic and employment benefits at Royds Enterprise Park and our local shops, health benefits at the Royds Healthy Living Centre, community benefits at Woodside Village Centre and Delph Hill Centre.

Our key collaborative model is Arise Yorkshire Limited, a company limited by guarantee, formed by Royds and three partners of similar size and make up, which acts as a bidding vehicle for larger, district wide programmes and contracts.

Partnership with other organisations remains a key part of our delivery strategy.

The recovery from Covid-19 will pose many challenges to the organisation and our tenants and partners. As a consequence 2021/22 will by necessity be a time of consolidation and review as we ensure that Royds remains financially viable and develops a positive role within its communities appropriate to the challenges of Covid-19.

Information on fundraising practices

The charity doesn’t actively fundraise, but appreciates the donations from the public. The charity does not use any professional fundraiser or commercial participator to carry out activities on the charity’s behalf.

Due to the low level of fundraising the charity undertakes, the charity is not a participant of a voluntary scheme for regulating fundraising, or any voluntary standard of fundraising for the activities carriedout on behalf of the charity. Should the charity at some point in the future undertake a specific fundraising campaign or start to generate more income through fundraising, the trustees will look to sign up to a voluntary fundraising code.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities

The Trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes 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 financial statements for each financial . 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 company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ROYDS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Royds Community Association (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes, 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, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

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 company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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.

Material uncertainty related to going concern

We draw attention to note 2.2 in the financial statements which discusses the trustees’ assessment of the impact of the pension liability on the charity’s funds. As stated in note 2.2, these events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in note 2.2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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. Our evaluation of the Trustees' assessment of the charitable company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting included a review of management accounts and future budgets and forecasts, together with a review of minutes of board meetings and correspondence in relation to the pension liability.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ROYDS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION (CONTINUED)

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. 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. 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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.

Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the 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 Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Page 11

ROYDS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

(A Company Limited by Guarantee)

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ROYDS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION (CONTINUED)

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement set out on page , the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes 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 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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditors' 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 an Auditors' Report 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 specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charity and the sector in which it operates and considered the risk of acts by the charity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that 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 or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.

We focused on laws and regulations, relevant to the charity, which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements. Our tests included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation, enquiries with management, review of charity minutes and legal expenses. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described 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 it.

As part of our audit, we addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing of journals and review of the nominal ledger. We evaluated whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ROYDS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION (CONTINUED)

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 Auditors' Report.

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.

The Trustees acknowledge their responsibilities for complying with the requirements of the Act with respect to accounting records and preparation of financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

1. General information

Royds Community Association is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Royds Enterprise Park, Future Fields, Buttershaw, West Yorkshire, BD6 3EW.

The members of the charitable company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the charitable company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charitable company.

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Royds Community Association meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

2.2 Going concern

The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis on the assumption that the charity is able to carry on operating as a going concern in the foreseeable future, which the trustees consider appropriate having regard to the following:

The major source of unrestricted income comes from rents and service charges at the Enterprise Park. The park has continued to perform well throughout the pandemic and occupancy remains above 90%. The trustees see no reason for the success of the Park to diminish in the foreseeable future. The organisation also has long term tenants in the Healthy Living Centre and the shops at Woodside.

Given the uncertainty surrounding the public sector reduction in funding, the trustees have carried out a risk assessment with a view to mitigating any potential loss in income. The trustees are confident at this stage that the rental income can be retained or replaced with little effect on the budget.

If funding for the projects is cut, then the service provision will reduce accordingly and corresponding expenditure will be reduced.

As many organisations are finding the impact of Covid-19 is hard to quantify beyond the short term – during the first quarter of 2021/22 the overall position of Royds has remained stable with the support of COVID grant funding.

The exiting of the West Yorkshire Pension Fund during the year has resulted in the charity having net current liabilities of £1,176,037 at 31 March 2021. The trustees are confident that they have finance options available to them should they be required.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.3 Income

All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

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 period 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.

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

2.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

2.5 Government grants

Government grants relating to tangible fixed assets are treated as deferred income and released to the Statement of Financial Activities over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned. Other grants are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities as the related expenditure is incurred.

Grants received in relation to the government Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (Furlough) have been recognised within income from charitable activities. The grant is accounted for on the accruals basis once the related payroll return has been submitted.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets costing £250 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives. .

Depreciation is provided on the following bases:

2.7 Investments

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance Sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment.

2.8 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

2.9 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.10 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost.

2.11 Financial instruments

The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.12 Operating leases

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.

2.13 Pensions

The company operated a defined benefits pension scheme during the year. The company exited the West Yorkshire Pension Fund in June 2020 after the retirement of the last active member.

2.14 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Dear Sirs

This letter forms part of the ongoing communication we are required to make under the relevant auditing standard (International Standard on Auditing (UK) 260). The purpose of this document is to report to those charged with governance, the findings following our audit of the financial statements.

As explained in our audit plan, we are responsible for forming and expressing an opinion on the financial statements that have been prepared by management with the oversight of those charged with governance. The audit of the financial statements does not relieve management or those charged with governance of their responsibilities and details of our respective responsibilities are summarised in our letter of engagement dated 13 September 2021.

This report is prepared solely for the confidential use of Royds Community Association, as part of our audit process, and relates only to matters that have come to our attention during the audit process. The report is not a comprehensive record of all relevant matters and should not be relied upon for any other purpose than that noted above. It is prepared solely for your use and should not be communicated in whole or part to any third party and we accept no responsibility to any party who place any reliance on it.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Clair Varney and Andrea Briggs at Royds Community Association for the assistance that they have provided to us during the course of our audit.

Yours faithfully

Identified audit risks

2

We communicated our audit approach in our audit plan dated 26 April 2021. We reconfirm that we have considered our independence, and there are no changes identified since our communication at the planning stage.

Our audit work is predominantly complete subject to the outstanding items noted in Appendix 4, and receipt of a signed letter of representation as shown in draft in Appendix 5.

Our audit fieldwork has not highlighted any additional areas of risk, other than those previously reported to you. The previously reported risks, along with a description of our audit approach and conclusions, are set out in the next section.

We have noted a number of potential deficiencies in internal controls that came to our attention during the course of our audit. We will discuss these with you and update our report for your responses.

Other areas of our report include:

Identified audit risks

Set out below is the summary of our assessment of the key business and audit risks affecting the financial statements, together with an overview of our planned audit procedures, as identified and communicated in our audit plan. We have also set out below our approach and work performed, together with the audit conclusion in relation to each risk.

Risk Description Our approach (how we addressed the risk) Audit conclusion
Revenue recognition Auditing standards state that there is a
presumed risk that revenue may be
misstated
Revenue can be mis-stated through errors
in bookkeeping or cut-off, or from
fraudulent activities
We have reviewed and tested revenue, deferred and accrued
income to ensure all income relevant to the accounting period
is recognised and in the correct period. This has been done
mainly through transactional testing which has focused on the
completeness of income and a review of cut off procedures
No audit issues noted.
Management override of
controls
Auditing standards state that the
presumed risk of management override of
controls exists in all entities
Due to the size of the organisation, it is
not possible to have all the controls and
segregation of duties in place to ensure
there is no opportunity for management
over-ride. We therefore consider this a
key business risk
We have used selected a sample of journals to test to ensure
that they were in line with normal procedures, with no
indications of bias.
No audit issues noted.
Going concern The charity may not have sufficient
reserves or a loss/decline in income could
impact the ability to continue as a going
concern
We have made enquiries of management to confirm the
Trustees’ use of the going concern basis. We reviewed budgets
& forecasts and free reserves calculation for the 12 months
from the expected date of sign off. We assessed the
reasonableness of these to form an opinion on the use of the
going concern basis
Following review of the
budgets and forecasts, we
have agreed that there is a
material uncertainty related
to going concern

Identified audit risks

Risk Description Our approach (how we addressed the risk) Audit conclusion
Restricted and endowment
funds
Risk that income and expenditure in
relation to restricted and endowment
funds is not correctly disclosed or spent
for the relevant purpose
As part of our transactions testing of income we reviewed the
sources of income to assess whether they should be recorded
as restricted funds. We selected a sample of expenditure
allocated against restricted funds to ensure the funds have
been correctly applied for the purpose for which they were
received
No audit issues noted.
Laws and regulations Failure to comply could result in a major
financial or reputational impact on the
charity
We reviewed the minutes of the charity, correspondence with
the regulators and discussed with management to identify
instances of non-compliance and claims
No audit issues noted.

bhp.co.uk

Internal controls

5

The purpose of the audit was to form an opinion on the financial statements. As part of our audit, we have considered the internal controls relevant to the preparation of the financial statements, in order to design audit procedures to allow us to express an opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal controls. The matters reported are limited to those deficiencies in internal controls which came to our attention during the course of our audit work. This does not constitute a comprehensive statement of all deficiencies that may exist or of all improvements which may be made and has addressed only those matters which have come to our attention as a result of the audit procedures performed.

Our findings and recommendations are noted below. We have assigned a priority indication to each finding to reflect the urgency we consider management should place in addressing each item.

Implies a high priority issue requiring immediate management
attention
Implies an important issue that should be reviewed and or
implemented at your earliest convenience
Implies an advisory issue that is raised purely for management
information and possible further discussion

2021

Observation Risk Rating Recommendation Response
There is a record of the fund balances
but this is not kept fully up to date and
required additional work to be
conducted.
There is also no record for allocation
of costs between restricted and
unrestricted funds
Possible misstatement of
restricted funds held at year
end
We recommend that records are kept of
specific fund expenditure to ensure that
all relevant expenses are allocated to
the correct funds.
At present we only have 4 individual funds
which are split out in Xero, we have also
looked at an app and should we introduce
more funds will revisit this
There is no register of interest in place Potential for related party
transactions not to be
correctly disclosed
To put in place a register of interest
worksheet and distribute at the next
trustees meeting for confirmation of any
related parties. This should be an
ongoing Board Meeting agenda point.
This is being reviewed and all Trustee’s
will be asked to update their current
details
Anthony Dylak’s name appears on the
March 2021 credit card statement
Potential of fraud due to
lack of accountability of the
credit card transactions
Ensure that Anthony Dylak is removed
from the company’s credit card account
and the correct person is added
This matter has now been dealt with.

Internal controls

6

Observation Risk Rating Recommendation Response
Appropriate evidence of employee pay
and ID is not kept in personnel files
Potential for employees to
be paid incorrectly
Ensure that updated contracts of
employment or salary increase letters,
and ID are kept in personnel files
Up to date contracts of employment and
increase documents have not been kept,
this will be kept going forward as well as
employees being salaried rather than
given an hourly rate
Time allocation of wages for funds is
not done accurately and based on
budgeted time allocation
Potential for funds to not
be stated correctly as the
wage allocation may not be
accurate.
Possibly complete timesheets for every
15 minutes of the day stating whether
they were working on a specific fund or
whether just general admin costs.
Previous members of staff worked hours
on several Funds, our current members of
staff work on specific Funds and their time
does not cross over. If we employ anyone
moving forwards where their role is split
between
funds
timesheets
will
be
produced to ensure accurate reporting
The Solar panel loan interest is being
accounted for on a straight-line basis
rather than at the Effective Interest
Rate (as per FRS102)
Potential of misstatement
of loan balance
To account for loan balances in line with
FRS102
Future loans will be calculated at the
Effective Interest Rate.
The New Horizons petty cash is in
credit at the year end
Unaccounted
or
unallocated petty cash
Ensure petty cash is reconciled on a
monthly basis
We currently don’t hold any petty cash for
New Horizons

Internal controls

We have also set out the deficiencies identified in the previous period’s audit with an update on the position in the current year.

2020

Observation Risk Rating Recommendation Update in current year
There is a record of the fund balances
but this is not kept fully up to date and
required additional work to be
conducted.
Possible misstatement of
restricted funds held at year
end
We recommend that records are kept
of specific fund expenditure to ensure
that all relevant expenses are allocated
to the correct funds.
This is still an issue in the current year.
There is no register of interest in place Potential for related party
transactions not to be
correctly disclosed
To put in place a register of interest
worksheet and distribute at the next
trustees meeting for confirmation of
any related parties. This should be an
ongoing Board Meeting agenda point.
This is still an issue in the current year
Time allocation of wages for funds is
not done accurately and based on
budgeted time allocation.
Potential for funds to not be
stated correctly as the wage
allocation may not be
accurate.
Possibly complete timesheets for
every 15 minutes of the day stating
whether they were working on a
specific fund or whether just general
admin costs.
This is still an issue in the current year
No detailed listing of bonds held by
the client for tenants.
Possibility of misstating
bond balances held and not
paying back correct bonds
to tenants
Prepare a detailed schedule of all
bonds held for tenants and units
This has been rectified in the current year

Observation Risk Rating Recommendation Update in current year
The prepayment and accruals
breakdowns did not balance to the
trial balance provided
Possibility of invoices not
being accrued and therefore
understatement of
expenditure and also
possibility of missed accrued
income in prepayments
Ensure a month end reconciliation is
completed each month with the
management accounts
This has been rectified in the current year
The Solar panel loan interest is being
accounted for on a straight-line basis
rather than at the Effective Interest
Rate (as per FRS102)
Potential of misstatement of

COVID-19: BHP Charity
update

Steps to consider to streamline your finances and maximise your cash position:
• Consider how you can flex your fundraising strategy and maximise opportunities via the use of technology;
• Review insurance policies to determine whether any claims can be made;
• Review your costs and cut any non-essentials;
• Bring your Gift-Aid claims up to date – you can go back 4 years for Gift Aid and two years for the Gift Aid Small Donations
Scheme;
• If you have any tax deducted from investment income this should be claimed via Charities Online (the same method used
to claim Gift Aid);
• Check that you have claimed the employment allowance if you are eligible – you can go back four years;
• Consider claims for the Creative Industry Tax Reliefs if you operate in those sectors e.g. Theatre Tax Relief, Museum &
Galleries Tax Relief, Orchestra Relief. These can generate a cash repayment from HMRC.

The Government have said that their “approach to regulation during this highly uncertain period will be as flexible and pragmatic
as possible in the public interest, whilst helping trustees to be aware of and think about the wider or longer impact of their
decisions on their charity.”

Set out in the link below are the answers to some questions that the Charity Commission have been asked. The page will be
updated on an ongoing basis.

Coronavirus job retention
scheme

Employers can claim 80% of ‘usual salary’ for hours not worked, up to a maximum of £2,500 per employee (pro-rated for hours
not worked) per month

In Budget 2021, the Chancellor has extended the scheme from April 21 to 30 September 2021

The level of grant available to employers under the scheme will stay the same until 30 June 2021

From 1 July the level of grant will be reduced but employers must continue to pay furloughed employees 80% of their wages up
to a cap of £2,500 per month for the time they spend on furlough

The reduction in the level of grant will result in the percentage recovery of furloughed wages to be as follows

For July 21 70% of furloughed wages up to a maximum of £2,187.50

For August and September 21 60% of furloughed wages up to a maximum of £1,875.00

Employers will need to continue to fund employers NICs and mandatoryminimum automatic enrolmentpension contributions

VAT deferral
Charities that deferred VAT payments falling due in the period 20 March – 30 June 2020 are reminded that they need to repay
any outstanding sums to HMRC before 31 March 2021. Alternatively, charities may take advantage of HMRC’s extended deferral
scheme that allows an extension of time to repay the VAT deferred until 31 March 2022.

The extended deferral scheme opened on 23 February 2021 and will close on 21 June 2021.

Charities that sign up before 19 March can agree up to 11 instalments whilst the number of instalments available to those that
sign up on 21 June is 8.

COVID-19 concession for
claiming Gift Aid on refunds
to be made permanent

A temporary change to the Gift Aid rules was announced by HMRC in April 2020

This concession has allowed charities to reclaim Gift Aid on refunds of tickets for events that were cancelled due to the
pandemic, if the refunds were foregone by supporters

It is a requirement that charities have an audit trail which shows proof that the individual wishes to donate the refund they are
due

HMRC confirmed in January 2021 that the change will become permanent in relation to any cancelled event or loan waiver,
providing suitable evidence is obtained

Further guidance is to be published
Revisions to the Charity
Governance Code

The Charity Governance Code is a tool to help charities and their trustees develop a high standard of governance

Good governance is fundamental to a charity’s success as it enables and supports a charity’s compliance with the law and
relevant regulations

Charities are encouraged to visit the Code’s website to view and download the new edition

Visit their website here:https://www.charitygovernancecode.org/en
The Revitalising Trusts
programme

The Charity Commission is working with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and UK Community
Foundation (UKCF) to help charities who find it hard to spend their income on the public benefit.

Charity trustees can get help from the programme and are encouraged to discuss their charity’s future if they have difficulties in
recruiting new trustees, spending their income, identifying beneficiaries or finding time to run the charity.

To make sure charity funds are spent on public benefit, a charity could transfer their assets to another charity, wind up the
charity, or seek to change the charity’s objects so that they can work more effectively.

The programme also involves the Charity Commission proactively contacting charities it considers to be ineffective, inactive or
dormant to encourage trustees to consider how they make best use of the charity’s assets.

The Charity Commission may consider a charity to be ineffective, inactive or dormant where it has not spent any money in the
past 5 years or has spent less than 30% of its income in the past 5 years.

Religious Charities exemption
from registration

The deadline for church charities with an annual income of £100,000 or less to register with the Charity Commission, due to come
to an end on 31 March 2021 has recently been extended by 10 years.

Whilst excepted charities do not have to register with the Charity Commission they must still comply with charity law and their
trustees have the same duties and responsibilities as the trustees of registered charities. The Charity Commission regulates
excepted charities in the same way as registered charities and can use any of its powers if it needs to.

A full list of exempt charities can be found here:https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/excepted-charities/excepted-
charities--2
Applying for an extension to
the Filing Deadline

Annual returns and accounts need to be filed within 10 months of the financial year end. The Charity Commission however
understands that in light of the Covid-19 pandemic charities may be affected and some charities which are due to submit an
annual return imminently may feel unable to do so.

The Charity Commission wishes to be both flexible and supportive and urges any charity which feels unable to submit within the
deadline to apply for an extension. Although the extension is not guaranteed the Charity Commission is taking a pragmatic view,
taking account of the wider public interest during this unprecedented time.

If your charity feels unable to meet its reporting deadline we urge you to apply for an extension. When applying include your
charity’s name, charity registration number and details of the circumstances leading to the need for the extension.

Details should be emailed to the CharityCommission using: filingextension@charitycommission.gov.uk
Off payroll rules
The purpose of legislation is to charge tax and national insurance contributions on payments to workers who provide their
services through a personal service company (PSC), if the worker would have been an employee if he or she had contracted
directly with the end client.

The changes to the rules are an extension to those previously introduced for the public sector and apply to medium and large
businesses, including charities.

From 6 April 2021, where these businesses are the end user (or client) and receive services in this manner, they will need to
determine the tax status of people that they hire as contractors or workers. The business/client will need to provide each
contractor with a Status Determination Statement and have a system in place to deal with disagreements.

The considerations regarding whether an individual should be treated as an employee or a self-employed worker have not
changed and HMRC’s status tool can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/check-employment-status-for-tax
New guidance for Trustees
The Charity Commission has released new guides covering five key aspects of charity management

They refer to these guides as a ‘core’ syllabus covering the basics that they expect all trustees to be aware of

The guides are named Financial Oversight, Achieving a Charity’s Purposes, Good Decision Making, Addressing Conflicts of Interest
and What to File with the Commission and what Support is Available

The Commission stresses that whilst the guides may be basic, they are designed to serve the needs of experienced trustees as
well as those new to the role.

Issue Key points
Reporting of related party
transactions in financial
statements

The Charity Commission published a study in August 2019 that found less than two thirds of charities, with income less than £1
million, had fully disclosed related party transactions.

Charities preparing accruals accounts must disclose trustees’ remuneration and benefits, trustees’ expenses and transactions
with those persons and entities that are closely connected to the charity or its trustees, referred to as related parties. Disclosure
of the fact that no related party transactions have occurred is required if this is the case.

Public trust in charities depends on transparency and it is therefore important for good governance that trustees identify all
relatedpartytransactions and handle conflicts of interestproperly.
Code of Fundraising Practice
2.0

The Code of Fundraising Practice sets the standards that apply to fundraising carried out by all charitable institutions and third
party fundraisers in the UK. It replaces the previous code, rulebooks and legal appendices.

The new code is effective from October 2019

Simple steps to protect your
charity’s funds

Recently, over 3,300 charities took part in a research study about fraud awareness, resilience and cyber security which
highlighted charities are not doing the basics to protect themselves.

The results of the survey can be found athttps://www.gov.uk/government/publications/preventing-charity-fraud-insights-and-
action

The Charity Commission highlights three simple steps which can protect your charity’s funds:

Introduce and enforce basic financial controls (e.g. at least two signatories to bank accounts and cheques)

Make sure no one single individual has oversight or control of financial arrangements – effective segregation of duties is a crucial
method of preventing and detecting fraud

Encourage staff, volunteers and trustees to speak out when they see something they feel uncomfortable about.
Alert for charities – cyber
crime and how to report to
the Charity Commission

Cyber crime has a number of definitions but will usually involve attacks on, or through, computer systems and networks. It often
includes theft of data or disruption of systems to enable further crime.

Dependant on the nature of these crimes, trustees, staff, volunteers and beneficiaries of charities may be adversely affected.
Negative publicity could also impact on public trust and confidence in not only the charity affected, but the sector as a whole.

The government Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2019 revealed that over two thirds of high income charities had recorded a
cyber breach or attack in 2018. Of those charities affected, the vast majority (over 80%) had experienced a phishing attack, which
are fraudulent emails.

With the cost of a breach ranging from £300 to £100,000, charity managers cannot afford to ignore the growing threat posed by
cyber crime, in all its forms.

The good news is that advice and guidance is widely available to help you take the right steps to protect your charity.

Most large charities are
unclear about the level of
reserves they hold

Less than a quarter of larger charities accurately reported the level of financial reserves they hold in their trustees’ annual report,
according to a review by the Charity Commission.

The Commission says its findings suggest an incomplete understanding of what reserves are, which could lead trustees to make
poor decisions about their charity’s finances.

All registered charities must explain their policy on reserves in their trustees’ annual report and should state the level of reserves
held as well as why they are held.

Almost all of a sample of 106 charities with an income over £500,000 included at least a reference to their reserves policy in their
annual report. However, less than a quarter gave the right reserves figure, based on the information in their accounts. A third of
charities failed to include a figure at all.
Regulator finds quality and
transparency in charity
accounts has fallen

Just 52% of trustees’ annual reports in the‘Public Benefit reporting’reviewmet the public benefit reporting requirements.
Although this is a 1% increase on last year, trustees are still falling short on the requirements to explain activities undertaken by
the charity to further its purposes for the public benefit, and to provide a ‘public benefit statement’.

The reviewers looked for evidence of some reflection on the difference that the charity’s activities had made. Positive examples
of compliance included explaining why the trustees believed that the charity’s activities provided public benefit; explaining who
had benefitted from what the charity had done, whether a particular group of beneficiaries or the wider public; and explaining
the impact of what the charity had done, such as examples of how the charity’s services had led to improvements in people’s
lives.
Charity regulator warns
trustees to protect their
charity from non-charitable
interests

The regulator recognises that many charities work successfully in close partnership with a wide variety of non-charitable
organisations, such as trading subsidiaries. These relationships can be crucial in helping a charity deliver on its mission for the
public benefit.

The new guidance aims to help charities reap the benefits of such relationships while managing the risks carefully.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

1 Accounting policies

Company information

Royds Community Association (Subsidiary) Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Royds Enterprise Park, Future Fields, Buttershaw, Bradford, West Yorkshire, BD6 3EW.

1.1 Accounting convention

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Profit and loss account

The company has not traded during the year or the preceding financial period. During this time, the company received no income and incurred no expenditure and therefore no Profit and loss account is presented in these financial statements.

1.4 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and 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.

1.5 Financial instruments

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 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 initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Classification of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried 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 business 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. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

1.6 Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

1.7 Foreign exchange

Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation in the period are included in profit or loss.
