We have adapted continuoLJsly and kept all services open throughout the year and have supported some 748 young people al any one time within our seNices. All colleagues have been able to work with none furloughed We are hugely proud and grateful lo our young people, our staff and volunteers, OLJr partners and supporters for their creative and compassionate responses and continue lo take an inlenlionally cautious approach lo keep everyone safe and well, whilst never losing sight of our Mission and principles. We identified risks associated with charitable fundraising and reviewed our budget accordingly. We have exceeded our revised budget expectslions. Our Hlstory Since opening our doors in Sl Basils, church in Digbelh, Birmingham in 1972 to young men experiencing homelessness, we have maintained the same core objective lo prevent homelessness being part of growing up. In the 49 years since then, we have extended our accommodation, support and prevention services across Birmingham and other parts of the Wesl Midlands, including Solihull, Coventry, Sandwell, Walsall, North Worcestershire and Warwickshire. We have not only dealt with the presenting needs of some 3,000+ young people each year, bul have also invested in systemic change, developing the national Positive Accommodation and Support Pathways for young people in 2012, refreshed in 2015 and 2017 and more recently in 2019120. We have invested in becoming a Psychologically Informed Environment since 2011 and now provide consultancy, training and support to many other organi5alions lo assist them in improving their services. We have continually committed to ensuring that young people have voice and influence our own policies, priorities and services and since 2009 have been commissioned by national government lo facililale National Youth Voice, initially National Youth Reference Group and since 2013, National Youth Homeless Parliament, ensuring that government Ministers and those developing policies and programmes have the benefit of the lived experience of young people who have been homeless. We have invested in accredited training and employability programmes and have piloted schemes such as our award winning Live and Work Programme lo provide affordable, safe homes for young people whe they can live, work. learn and earn wilhoul having lo dual navigate a complex welfare benefits system. Homelessness is rooted in FX)verty, inequality and exclusion and Sl Basils has consislenlly championed those who have not benefited from our mainstream systems. Tackling inequ21ily and promoting inclusion and ensuring the diverse needs of young people are mel, remains one of our six strategic priorities. Enabling young people lo develop their talents and skills and grow their confidence lo move towards study and work underpins our approach. In 2020121, 3,860 young people sought our assistance, each one with their own experience, challenges, strengths and aspirations. Our job remains lo work with them lo remove the barriers which prevent achievement and to nurture their talent, skills and confidence lo enable them lo achieve their polenlial. We will continue this work with young people, partners and supporters for as long as it lakes.

ST BASIL'S (Limited by Guarantee) Our Principles to work by Our sevon Principlès to Work by, describe what we belleve in and should help us descrlbe what this means to all who work wlth us. 1. Young People First This is at the heart of everything we do. By putting the needs and aspirations of young people as our top priority, we will ensure that our policies and practices assist them lo secure their futures and realise their potential. We will recognise and promote their achievements and challenge negative images which create barriers and reinforce slereolypes. 2. Everybody Counts We believe that everyone has an important contribution to make and a viewpoint which matters. We will adopt an open and inclusive approach which ensures that the views, ideas, beliefs, and interests of all our stakeholders are considered and dealt with in a respectful way. 3. Strength and Unity through Dlversity Our diversity is our strength and we are united in our purpose through a collective framework of principles and priorities. Like the pieces in a jigsaw, we are all different but only by fitting together, is the whole picture complete. We believe that our different experiences. skills, and heritage beller enable us collectively lo respond to the individual needs and experiences of the young people who come lo us. 4. Working and Learning with Others Sl Basils recognises that in order to provide the best possible servi8 for young people we musl work with others who have specific knowledge, skills, and expertise in areas where we do not. Within our organisalion and in our dealings with external partners, we believe we can make a greater difference when working together. We will also share our learning of what works and what doesn't and learn from the experience of others. 5. Delivery and Effectiveness It is essential that we are able lo demonslrale our effectiveness and that we 'do what we say we're going lo do,. If we claim that 'SI Basils works. we have lo be prepared lo evidence the outcomes of what we do. Our commitment lo continuous improvement means that we must constantly question our effectiveness and strive to improve our services and evidence the impact of what we do from our customers, perspective. 6. Accountability We are individually and Collectively accountable for our work and the promotion of Sl Basils, objectives and principles. We recognise the balance between rights and responsibilities and encourage accountability for the promotion of both. We recognise our range of a¢countabililiÈs lo all our stakeholders and seek lo be consislenl and open in their delivery. We are regulated and inspected by a range of external organisalions and welcome this as an opportunity lo examine ourselves and check that we continue lo deliver. 7. Forward Thinking To work with young people means that you have lo be prepared lo work in 2 constantly changing environment. Needs, experiences, and aspirations changè. We believe that we must not only deal with young people's needs as they present themselves today bul also plan and develop services which will meet future needs. It is our intention therefore to remain al the 'cutling edge. of services for young people in order to assist them lo break down barriers preventing them from achieving their ambitions.

Responsibilities of the Board As explained more fully in the Ststement of the Board's responslbllities sel out on page 24, the Board is 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 Board determines is necèssary to enable the preparation of financial slalemenls that are free from material misslalemenl, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial slalemenls. the Board is responsible for assessing the company's ability lo continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related lo going concern and Ljsing the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board either intends lo liquidate the company or lo cease operations. or have no realistic alternative bul to do so. Auditor's responsibilities for the ludlt of the flnanclal staternents Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstalemenl, whether due lo fraud or error, and lo issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always delecl a material misslalement when il exists. Misststemenls can arise from fraud or error and are considered materi21 if, individually or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be expected lo influence the economic decisions of users tsken on the basis of these financial stalemenls. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial slalemenls is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc or .uklaudilorsres onsibililies. This dèscription forms part of our auditor's report. Extent to which thg audit was consldered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud We identify and assess the risks of material misslatemenl of the financial slalemenls, whether due lo fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive lo those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate lo provide a basis for our opinion. In identifying and addressing risks of material misstalemenl in respect of irregularits'es. including fraud and non- compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following.. We obtained an understanding of laws and regulations that affect the Company, focusing on those that had a direct effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on ils opetations. Key laws and regLJlalions that we identified included the Companies Act, the Statement of Recommended Practice for registered housing providers.. Housing SORP 2018, the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008, the Accounting Direction for Private Registered Providers of Social Housing 2019. tax legislation, health and safety legi51alion, and employment legislation. We enquired of the Board and reviewed correspondence and Board meeting minutes for evidence of non- compliance with relevant laws and regulations. We also reviewed controls the Board have in place. where necessary, to ensure compliance. We gained an understanding of the controls that the Board have in place to prevent and delect fraud. We enquired of the Board about any incidences of fraud that had taken place during the accounting period. fii.¥e 126

_____________
-
The risk of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud was discussed within the audit team and tests were planned and performed to address these risks. We identified the potential for fraud in the following areas: laws related to the construction and provision of social housing, recognising the nature of the Company’s activities and the regulated nature of the Company’s activities.
-
We reviewed financial statements disclosures and tested to supporting documentation to assess compliance with relevant laws and regulations discussed above.
-
We enquired of the Board about actual and potential litigation and claims.
-
We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that might indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
-
In addressing the risk of fraud due to management override of internal controls we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates were indicative of a potential bias.
Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations and cannot be expected to detect all fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
Use of the audit report

ST BASIL'S (Limited by Guarantee) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ending 31 March 2021 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Financial assets carried al amortised cost Financial assets carried al amortised cost comprtse rent arrears. trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents. Financial assets are initially re¢ognised at fair value plus directly allribulabl8 transaction costs. After initial recognition, they are measured al amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omill8d where the effect of discounting is immaterial. If there is objective evidence that there is an imp8irmenl loss on any asset, including social housing property, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted al the financial asseys original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced accordingly. A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual rights lo the cash flows expire. or when the financial asset and all subslanlial risks and reward are transferred. If an arrangement constilules a financing transaction, the financial asset is measured al the present value ol the future payments discounted al a market rale of interest for a similar debt instrument Fin8nci81 liabilities carried al amortised oosl These financial liabilities include trade and other payables and interest bearing loans and borrowings. Non-currenl debt instruments which meet the necessary conditions in FRS 102, are initially recognised al fair value adjusted for any directly allribulable transaction cost and subsequently measured al amortised cost using the effective interest method, with inlerest-relaled charges Cognised as an expense in finance costs in the Slalemenl of Comprehensive Income. Discour¢ling is omilled where the effect of discounting is immaterial. A fi'nancial liability is derecognised only when the contractual obligation is exb'nguished, that is, when the obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires. Financing trens8clffons For rent arrears where the arrangement conslitules, in effect, a financing transaction because of extended credit arrangements the arrears are measured at the present value of the future payments discounted al an appropriate market rale of interest. Significant Management Judgements and key Sources of estimation uncertainty. The preparation of the financial slalemenls requires management lo make judgemerlts, estimates and assumptions that affeel the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities. income, and expenses. The estimates and associated assumplions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed lo be reasonable under the cirGLtmslances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. EslimalÈs and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions lo accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. Significant Management Judgemonls The following are management judgements in applying the accounting policies of the Company that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial stalemenls. Capitalis8tft)n of developm8nl expenditure The company capilalises expenditure in accordance with the accounting policy on housing properties. Judgement is exercised ovei the likelihood that projects will continue, as lo whether development expenditure is capital or revenue. For the year ending 31 March 2021, there are capital additions of £1,456k (see note 8). of which £nil relates to the Capilalisalion of on-going development costs. Page135
ST BASIL'S (Limit¢d by Guarant¢e) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year endlng 31 March 2021 2. Significant Management Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty. Icontinuedl Eslim8tion uncertainty The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the ftjlure. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual result5 and may cause a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Debtorprovisions Provision 15 made for rent arrears that are considered L6nco11eclable. These provisions require management's best estimate of the costs that will be incurred based on legislative and contractual requiremen15. In addition, the timing of the cash flows and the discount ratès used to establish net present value of the obligations require management's judgement. In the light of the experien of recent years, the basis for deleimining the provision for rental debts has proved reasonable. Components of housing properties and useful lives Major components of housing properties have significantly different pattems of consltmption of economlc benefits and estimates are made lo alloeale the initial cost of the property to its major components and to depreciate each component separately over ils useful economic life. The Company considers whether there are any indications that the useful lives require revision al each reporting dale to ensure that they remain appropriatè. 3a.
