Directors’ Report for year ended 31 March 2025
The Directors (Executive Committee) submit their report and the Audited Accounts of the Company for the year ended 31st March 2025. Below we set out the required standards/Directors’ responsibilities.
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
Company law requires the Directors to prepare the financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Directors are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
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; * prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006, and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 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. Principal Activities
The Charity’s objects as stated in its documentation are:
- I. To alleviate need and disadvantage through the provision of services, assistance, advocacy and representation to care for, resettle and rehabilitate offenders and ex-offenders, alleged offenders, persons who may be at risk of becoming offenders and to care for the victims of crime and the families of such categories of person.
Il. To work for the prevention and reduction of crime for the benefit of the public in Northern Ireland.
The Directors have reviewed the statements made in the application to the Charity Commission in relation to the Public Benefit test and confirm its continuing relevance.
Organisational Mission statement - The principal activities of NIACRO are to reduce crime and its impact on people and communities. To deliver its objectives NIACRO has in place a five year Corporate Plan 2024-2029 which has priorities under the following 5 Strategic Areas: . Crime reduction through support . Safer and inclusive communities . _ Reduction of young people entering the criminal justice system . Insight driven change . Aneffective and efficient organisation
Below under the heading Objectives, Activities, Achievements and Performances we detail our achievements for the year.
Structure, Governance and Management
NIACRO was established and registered as a charity in 1970, became a Company Limited by Guarantee in 1984 and most recently has been registered with the NI Charity Commission since October 2015.
Appointment of Executive Committee - NIACRO is governed by its Executive Committee which is elected from the organisation’s membership. Annually members are invited to nominate from that group individuals to serve on the Committee by election through postal ballot. Governing documents provide for co-option of up to four individuals if agreed by the Executive Committee. Initial tenure is for three years at which point members stand down and are subject to re-election. As a matter of good practice members rarely serve more than nine years on the Committee.

Executive Committee Induction and Training - New members are provided with an induction programme and materials that brief them as to their roles and responsibilities and their legal obligations under charity and company law. They are advised of the role of the Committee and the consultative and decision-making processes operational in the organisation. They are also advised of the corporate and operational planning cycles as well as the annual programme of meetings. Strategic documents in relation to governance, sub committees and core procedures and policies are also available in an induction pack. All members are encouraged to attend regular briefing events on services and key policy considerations and bi-ennially the Executive conducts an externally led review of its performance. Committee members are also required to undertake safeguarding training that covers their safe-guarding responsibilities as trustees, the legal and policy context of safeguarding, regulatory requirements for the organisation, and the procedures that should place.
Organisational Structure - The Executive Committee ensures good governance of the organisation by setting its strategic objectives and policy direction through its Strategic Planning cycle. It monitors progress of the Operational Business Plan quarterly with a focus on adverse variances. The Committee meets 6 times per year. A standing Finance, Audit and Risk Committee (FARC) chaired by the Treasurer supports this and meets 4 times each year. In addition to the office bearer roles of Chair, Vice-Chair and Treasurer, there are Executive Committee Champions for Safeguarding, Volunteering and Succession Planning. The Chief Executive Officer, appointed by the Committee, manages the day-to-day operations of the organisation. To facilitate decision-making and organisational efficiency the CEO has delegated authority in relation to a range of agreed matters.
Related parties - NIACRO is an independent organisation and therefore conducts its business on that basis. NIACRO to be effective works closely with its members and external stakeholders to achieve its core obje-tives. NIACRO has in place a range of robust policies including Conflicts of Interests, Whistleblowing, Fraud Prevention and Reporting, Safeguarding and Risk Management.
Overview of Impact - During 2024/25 the total numbers of people and families accessing our services grew from 7,080 to 7,710 and we supported 50,183 visits through our Northern Ireland Prison Service (NIPS) funded Visitor Centres Services. This continued demand on services, coupled with an ever-challenging financial context across the third sector saw the senior leadership team focus on securing funding for existing services e.g. a successful Visitor Centre tender, as well as exploring opportunities to grow in areas in response to the people who use our services. During the final quarter of the 2024/25 financial year a further successful funding application to the UK Shared Prosperity Fund was made for the third and final year of the fund, and we worked closely with NICVA and other suppliers to the fund to ensure future continuity of our vital employability programme SkilISET.
Throughout this year Niacro continued to work on improving policy and practice through a comprehensive body of consultation responses, delivery and input to events and seminars, strategic engagement with statutory bodies and fora, as well as proactive influencing on future funding streams.
In September 2024 the Justice Minister published a draft Justice Bill, including reform of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Order 1978. We welcomed the draft bill and prepared a detailed written submission for the purposes of giving evidence to the Committee for Justice. Our submission included a call for the introduction of an amendment to raise the minimum age of criminal responsibility in Northern Ireland, because at 10 years old it is too young and remains out with international child rights recommendations. As the team delivered the large service portfolio of 27 programmes we maintained a focus on our people and our Investors in People Gold status through investment in training and development, commitment to staff wellbeing and staff engagement events. During the year we completed our IT upgrade project to support our operations, staff connectivity and certification as a Cyber-Essentials organisation and introduced a new secure telephone and communication system which maximises our new platforms and is helping staff say better connected to service users and each other.
During the 2024/25 as well as delivering the extensive range of services to families, children and people with a criminal record the Niacro team continued to take innovative strides to collaborate and drive improvements in organisational quality including: ¢Becoming a Living Wage Employer e Developing and delivering CPD Training programmes eLaunching our long-term social value partnership with CGI The Niacro team remained focussed on delivery, engagement and collaboration as well as supporting each other to live out the Niacro values every day.

Risk management
The Executive Committee oversees the regular review of risks. The CEO provides an update of live risks to the Finance, Audit and Risk Committee in the quarterly reporting framework and this is then summarised at Committee meetings. An overarching register of key risks is maintained, which allocates risk ownership and details the likely impact on NIACRO if risks materialised, as well as mitigating actions inprogress. NIACRO has in place an internal audit service to deliver ongoing independent assurance on the effectiveness of the system internal controls, risk management and governance.
VAT- A comprehensive review of our VAT status in light of HMRC Brief 10/2022 VAT— business and non-business activities - has been completed and recommendations have been implemented.
Insurance for the Directors of the Company — The Company has purchased insurance to indemnify it’s Directors against potential legal actions which they may face while carrying out their duties.
Investment Policy- The Executive Committee with the advice from the Finance, Audit and Risk Committee has considered the most appropriate policy of investing funds and has decided on a mixture of accounts; current, deposit and investment accounts in line with ethical considerations. This ensures the requirements to generate a return on investment. The Finance, Audit & Risk Committee review the investment practice quarterly.
Reserves Policy- The NIACRO Reserves Policy is based on the need to cover current risks and to maintain the delivery of current objectives. An in-year feature has been the need to have liquid cash to fund the process of payment in arrears by funders. The target is to hold £2.4 million of reserves, to include the cost of redundancies, provision of notice to staff and the wind-up costs associated with programmes. The Executive will approve any use of reserves. The Reserves Policy will be reviewed annually. Exceptionally the policy may require adjustments during the year if there are material changes to the risks NIACRO faces or its business plan.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS
ON THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of NIACRO, for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise of, administration account, the statementoffinancial activities, the balance sheet, the cashflow statement 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 Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

----- End of picture text -----
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 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.
Conclusions relating to going concern In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. Other information The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The directors 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 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: - the information given in the Directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and - the Directors' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS CONT'D
Matters on which we are required to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Directors' report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: - adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or - the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or - certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or - we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or Responsibilities of directors As explained more fully in the Directors' responsibilities statement on page 2, the directors 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 directors 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 directors are responsible for assessing the 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 directors either intend to liquidate the 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. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the Company and management. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
NOTE 1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The Association was incorporated on 6 September 1984 as a company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital. The principal activities are the provision of charitable services, particularly to those who have previously offended or are at risk of offending and their families. The company is a private limited Company, by guarantee, incorporated in Northern Ireland. The address of its registered office is Amelia House, 4 Amelia Street BT2 7GS. NIACRO has been registered with the NI Charity Commission since October 2015. NOTE 2 The service charges on projects are calculated to make an appropriate contribution to the costs of the central services provided to projects.
NOTE 3 ACCOUNTING POLICIES The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation ofthe financial statements are as follows: a) 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 Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. NIACRO 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 note(s). b) Reconciliation with previous Generally Accepted Accounting Practice In preparing the accounts, the directors have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 the restatement of comparative items was required.
At the date of transition, no adjustments/restatements were required. NIACRO reported a cash flow decrease of £219,946 (Page19), 2024:- decrease of £118,204 and has letters of offer in place on which basis the charity is a going concern. The following accounting policies have been used consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the Association's accounts.
(a) Income Income is derived mainly from contracts, service level agreements and grants but includes some public donations.
Funds are not recognised until they have been received or when the conditions for their receipt have been complied with and there is reasonable assurance that the funds are forthcoming. Funds are recognised in the income and expenditure accounts so as to match them with expenditure towards which they are intended to contribute. Funds which contribute towards specific expenditure on fixed asset are transferred to a deferred credit account and released to the projects accounts over the expected useful lives of the assets.
(b) Expenditure
Expenditure is dealt with on the accruals basis.
(c) Taxation Tax.As a registered charity, the Association is not liable to either Income Tax or Corporation

----- End of picture text -----
Land is not depreciated
(e) Stock
Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
(f) Deferred Tax
No Deferred Tax liability is provided for in these accounts because the Association is a Registered Charity and it is not liable to pay any Corporation Tax.
(g) Pension Costs
The pension costs charged in the financial statements represent the contribution payable by the company during the year. The regular cost of providing retirement pensions and related benefits pensions and related benefits is charged to the profit and loss account over the employees' service lives on the basis of a constant percentage of earnings.
(h) Leased Assets
The costs of fixed assets acquired under finance leases are capitalised and depreciation is charged in accordance with the depreciation policy. The capitalised value is calculated at the lower of the future minimum leasing payment discounted where appropriate, and the market price of the asset for outright purchase as reduced by any government capital grant receivable. The capital element of future leasing commitments is included in the accounts as obligations under finance leases and the interest element of leased payments is charged to the income and expenditure account ona straight line basis over the period of the leases. Rentals applicable to operating leases are written off as incurred.
(i) Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty In preparing these financial statements, the directors have had to make the following judgements: - Determine whether there are indicators of impairment of the company's tangible and intangible assets. Factors taken into consideration in reaching such a decision include the economic viability and expected future financial performance of the asset and where it is a component of a larger cash-generating unit, the viability and expected future performance of that unit.
Other key sources of estimation uncertainty.
- Tangible fixed assets (see note 13) are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. In reassessing asset lives, factors such as technological innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programmes are taken into account. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life the asset and projected disposal values.
