Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31[st] December 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity and a company limited by guarantee, have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006; the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008, 2013 & 2022, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015 and 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 15 December 2021) Charities SORP (FRS 102) . The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
1.2 Tangible fixed assets Land & Property held for the included in the Financial Statements at market value. No depreciation has been charged, as it is the trustees' policy to maintain the buildings in a continual state of sound repair. The trustees consider that the life of these assets is so long and their residual value so high that depreciation is insignificant.
Other fixed assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition they are recorded at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment.
Depreciation has been calculated at rates required to write off the relevant assets over the anticipated useful lives. The applicable annual rate used are:
- Apartment Fixtures and Fittings 10% reducing balance Computer Equipment 5 years straight line
1.3 Investment Assets
- Investment assets form part of the unrestricted funds. All income arising from these investments is credited as unrestricted fund incoming resources.
Investment assets are measured at fair value at the Statement of Financial Position date, with changes in fair value being recognised in income and expenditure. Gains or losses on disposal of investment assets are calculated as arising from the latest Statement of Financial Position valuation and are credited or charged as realised gains or losses to unrestricted funds.
1.4 Debtors
Other debtors are stated after all known bad debts have been written off and specific provision has been made against all debts considered doubtful of collection. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.5 Cash and cash equivalents Cash at bank and cash equivalents include 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.
1.6 Creditors
- Creditors and provisions are recognised where 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 and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
1.7 Financial Instruments
The Charitable 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 valued at their settlement value with the exception of loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Financial Instruments measured at amortised cost comprise the loans made by the Charitable Company to beneficiaries. Loans are made interest free. The market risk facing the Charitable Company is that the demands placed on the Charity increase as interest rates rise in the wider economy.
