There are some very hard words about what<br>things Trustees must do. This is called<br>The Trustees’ Responsibility Statement.<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- « select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistenily e observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102) « make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent « state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements 

- e prepare the financial statements on the ongoing concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the asseis of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity's website. 

Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

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

## ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

## General Information 

Opening Doors is a Charity limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales under the Companies Act 2011. The registered office is 38a Bull Close, Norwich, Norfolk, NR3 1SX. 

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

## Basis of preparation 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) - (effective 1 January 2019) - Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011. 

The financial statements have been prepared to give us a “true and fair” view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a “true and fair view”. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. 

Opening Doors 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. 

The charity, being small in size, has used exemption provided by Charities SORP (FRS 102) under which it is not required to include a cash flow statement as part of the financial statements. 

## Fund accounting 

Unrestricted funds are those which are available for the general purposes of the Charity ai the discretion of the Trustees. 

Restricted funds are those which have been received for undertaking an activity specified by the donor.

# OPENING DOORS 

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

## ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued 

## Going concern 

The Covid19 pandemic has presented serious challenges for Opening Doors throughout this financial year. Repeated lockdowns and restrictions have meant face-to-face engagement, other than crisis support, has been brought to a halt for most of these 12 months. Through diligent use of all available government aid schemes, negotiation of fixed costs and prioritising emergency fundraising the charity has continued to provide essential support. 

Opening Doors faces challenges over the next year as key funding sources will come to an end, in particular a 10-year contract with Norfolk County Council. The pandemic has hampered efforts to plan for the future and the picture remains unclear about what projects for existing funders will be able to go ahead. The charity moves forward with a need to diversify funding and manage costs. 

Budgets and forecasts have been prepared for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and as a result, the Trustees’ assessment is that Opening Doors will remain a going concern 12 months from the date of approval of these accounis. Therefore these accounts are prepared on a going concern basis. 

## Income 

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been mei, iis is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably 

Income is generated through donations, grants and other sources 

## Expenditure 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following headings: 

- ° Costs of raising funds comprise the apportionment of staff costs to this area on the basis of time spent raising funds; 

- ° Expenditure on charitable activities includes that which related directly to fulfilling the charitable objectives of the Charity, as outlined in the Trustees’ Report.

: ; | : 

# OPENING DOORS 

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

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the Charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the Charity’s activities. These costs have been allocated to expenditure on charitable activities. 

Governance costs are included in support costs and relate to the direct running of the Charity, allowing it to operate and generate the information required for public accountability. They include the costs of accounts preparation and independent examination. 

## Tangible Fixed Assets 

Individual fixed assets costing £400 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows; 

## Asset category 

## Annual Rate 

Leasehold improvements 33% straight line Furniture, fittings and equipment 25% reducing balance Computer equipment 33% reducing balance 

## Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year 

: 

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure. 

Creditors are recognised when the Charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount. 

## Cash at bank and in hand 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash held in bank accounts. There are no short term investments.

## OPENING DOORS 

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

## ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued 

## Financial instruments 

The Charity only has financial assets and 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. 

Financial assets include trade debtors and accrued income (but exclude prepayments). 

Financial liabilities include trade creditors and accruals but exclude social security and other taxes. 

## Pensions 

The Charity provides a defined contribution pension scheme, whereby the charity and its staff each fund the scheme, managed bya third party provider, the assets of which are held by the provider separately from the assets of the charity. The pension charge in the financial statements represents the amounts payable by the charity to the fund in respect of the period. 

## Corporation tax 

The Charity is exempt from taxation in respect of income and capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to the charitable purposes. 

## Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty 

In the application of the Charity’s accounting policies, which are described above, the Trustees are required to make judgemenis, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts 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 those 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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. 

The Trustees do not consider that there are any critical judgments or sources of estimation uncertainly in the financial statements.
