Additionally, the organisation continued to lobby political parties on several fronts and whilst the Procurement Board is no longer operational, the CEO continues to engage with Department of Finance officials in updating and amending the Public Procurement Notes PPN 01121 and 02121, mostly applicable to the social enterprise sector. Amanda Johnston was reappointed to the Council of the Nl Chamber of Commerce. The organisation continued to increase its social media presence to promote its activity and that of its members. Relationships continued to be developed with all government departments and 4 meetings of the All Paty Group for Social Enterprise, for which Social Enterprise Nl is the secretariat, were also held. Relationships continue to develop with other regional bodies across England, Scotland, Wales and Republic of Ireland. During the financial year the organisations Gala Annual Awards for the sector were held on 27th October 2023 at Crowne Plaza Hotel with almost 600 guests attending. This was a night of celebration of the sector with 25/0 of guests attending from outside the social economy sector. Government Ministers, MLAS and senior government officials were among those who attended. There was no annual conference, however this was replaced by several smaller regional events profiling the work of members and in in particular focusing on social value. Public Benefit The direct benefits that flow from this include increased understanding and awareness of social enterprise as a model which creates and promotes social value and promotion of improved strategy and informed policy in relation to rocial enterprise development. Further direct benefits that will ftow from this include increased awareness of individual social enterprises and how they can market their social impact leading to creation of jobs, enhancing the skills and development of local people, regeneration of buildings as community hubs and trading spaces. The organisation also focuses on upskilling and upscaling of the social economy in Nl and encourages and supports its members to create real #profl1thpurpoSe. The benefits that will flow from this will be increased community engagement and cohesion, promotion of social investment as a mechanism for growth, creating jobs and rejuvenating buildings and areas of dereliction and providing assets that are used for community benefit. Communities will understand that social enterprises are local by default, benefit their communities, develop local people and their skills and use their profits to ensure there is direct benefit to the community. The direct benefits flowing from this purpose include promotion of individual capabilities, competences, skills and understanding of social enterprise, enabling them to achieve accredited qualifications, andlor to build the capacity of their organisations to become more sustainable and enterprising.
SOCENTNI Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees. Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) {continued) Year ended 31 March 2024 We are supporting the creation of a new generation of social entrepreneurs who will be committed to investing their energies and profits into their communities for public benefit. Our work will encourage people to see social enterprise as a viable career option and to enable succession planning in more mature organisations. The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland's guidance on public benefit. Benefits are evidenced through feedback from beneficiaries and stakeholders. This purpose does not give rise to any harm. The beneficiaries of this purpose are people living in Northern Ireland. A private benefit to trustees may arise from our programme of ongoing training in good governance, finan etc. Through this training trustees gain skills and experience which are transferable to other settings. These skills are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to the beneficiaries. Financial review Social Enterprise Nl has financial procedures and systems in place. Monthly management accounts are prepared and these, along with cashflow projections, are submitted to the Board meetings for review and discussion.

SOCENTNI Company Limited by Guarantee Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) Year ended 31 March 2024 Accounting policies (contlnued) Incoming resources All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity., it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income- income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. income from contracts ft)r the supply of seNices is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted. Resources expended Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditu includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned beeen the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis. Tangible assets Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. 11
SOCENTNI Company Limited by Guarantee Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) Year ended 31 March 2024 Accounting policies (continued) Tangible assets (contlnued) An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities. Depreciation Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: Equipment 250/0 Straight line Impairment of fixed assets A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units. Financial instruments A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs. Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 12
SOCENTNI Company Limited by Guarantee Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued) Year ended 31 March 2024 Accounting policies (conlinuedj Financial instruments (continued) Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can othetwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or fInand at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship. Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised. For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that a individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. Defined contribution plans Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund. When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises. Llmited by guarantee The charity is a company limited by guarantee, not having share capital. 13
