## **Independent Auditor’s Report (cont’d)** 

In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Management is responsible for assessing the Association’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 Board of Management either intend to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Auditor’s 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 auditor’s 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 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. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

- We considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in the following areas: timing of recognition of income; and posting of unusual journals along with complex transactions.  We discussed these risks with client management, designed audit procedures to test the timing of income, tested a sample of journals to confirm they were appropriate and reviewed areas of judgement for indicators of management bias to address these risks. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditors’ report. 

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the Board of Management, in accordance with Article 38 of the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act (Northern Ireland) 2016 (formerly the Industrial and Provident Societies Act (Northern Ireland) 1969). Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Board of Management those matters that we are required to state to them in an auditors’ report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Society and the Board of Management, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinion we have formed.

_**Alpha Housing (Northern Ireland) Ltd Year Ended 31 March 2024**_ 

## **Notes to the financial statements** 

## **1. Legal status** 

Alpha Housing (Northern Ireland) Ltd is a housing association registered in Northern Ireland in the United Kingdom under the Credit Unions and Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act (Northern Ireland) 2016 (formerly known as the Industrial and Provident Societies Act (Northern Ireland) 1969).  The registered office of the Association is Alpha House, 6 Edgewater Road, Belfast, BT3 9JQ. 

## **2. Accounting Policies** 

## **2.1 Basis of accounting** 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ and the Statement of Recommended Practice (“SORP”) for Registered Social Housing Providers. 

The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£), which is the functional currency of the Association. 

## **2.2 Revenue recognition** 

Revenue is recognised when the Association has entitlement to the funds and it is probable that the income will be received and the amount is reliably measured. 

Turnover includes rental and service charge income, rates receivable and residential charges, net of voids, and release of Social Housing Grants. 

Rental income for each rental period (rent week) is recognised in full on the first day of the rent week i.e. when the rent falls due. 

## **2.3 Government and other grants** 

Social housing grant (SHG) or Housing Association Grant (HAG) is receivable from the Northern Ireland Housing Executive (NIHE) and is recognised in income over the useful life of the housing property structure under the accruals model.  SHG or HAG due is included as a current asset.  SHG or HAG received in advance is included as a liability. 

SHG or HAG received in respect of revenue expenditure is credited to the income and expenditure account in the same period as the expenditure to which it relates. 

SHG or HAG released on sale of a property may be repayable but is normally available to be recycled and is credited to the Disposal Proceeds Fund and included in the Statement of Financial Position within Creditors. 

**22** 



_**Alpha Housing (Northern Ireland) Ltd Year Ended 31 March 2024**_ 

## **2.4 Tangible fixed assets** 

## **Housing properties** 

Housing stock are properties held for the provision of social housing or to otherwise provide social benefit and are accounted for within tangible fixed assets. Housing properties are principally available for rent and are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes the cost of acquiring land and buildings, development costs, interest charges incurred during the development period. 

Works to existing properties which replace a component that has been treated separately for depreciation purposes, along with those works that result in an increase in net rental income over the lives of the properties, thereby enhancing the economic benefits of the assets, are capitalised as improvements. 

## **Depreciation of Housing properties** 

The Association separately identifies the major components which comprise its housing properties, and charges depreciation, so as to write-down the cost of each component to its estimated residual value, on a straight line basis, over its estimated useful life. 

The Association depreciates the major components of its housing properties using the following useful lives: 

|Land|-|Not depreciated|
|---|---|---|
|Structure/main fabric|-|60 years|
|Roof|-|45 years|
|Bathroom|-|30 years|
|Mechanical systems|-|30 years|
|Electrics|-|30 years|
|Windows and doors|-|25 years|
|Kitchen|-|20 years|
|Lifts|-|20 years|
|Primary heating unit|-|15 years|
|Fire alarm system|-|15 years|
|Warden call system|-|10 years|
|Adaptations|-|10 years|



## **Depreciation of other tangible fixed assets** 

For other tangible fixed assets, depreciation is charged on a straight-line basis over the expected useful lives of the assets to write off the cost, less estimated residual values over the following expected lives: 

Leasehold building - 60 years Furniture and equipment - Between 3 and 10 years Motor vehicles - 4 years 

**23** 



_**Alpha Housing (Northern Ireland) Ltd Year Ended 31 March 2024**_ 

## **2.5 Impairment** 

Housing properties are assessed annually for impairment indicators. Where indicators are identified an assessment for impairment is undertaken comparing the asset’s carrying amount to its recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset is deemed to exceed its recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount, this is likely to be the fair value in use of the asset based on its service potential. The resulting impairment loss is recognised as expenditure in income and expenditure. Where an asset is currently deemed not to be providing service potential to the association, its recoverable amount is its fair value less costs to sell. 

Other assets are reviewed for impairment if there is an indication that impairment may have occurred. 

## **2.6 Employee benefits** 

## **Defined Contribution Pension** 

The Association operates a defined contribution scheme for certain employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Association pays fixed contributions into a separate entity.  Once the contributions have been paid the Association has no further payment obligations. 

The contributions are recognised as an expense when they are due.  Amounts not paid are included as accruals in the Statement of Financial Position.  The assets of the plan are held separately from the Association in independently administered funds. 

## **2.7 Tenants’ Services Fund** 

For certain schemes the Association is required to charge to the tenants an additional amount to fund the cost of common facilities.  Annual surpluses or deficits are transferred to the Tenants’ Services Fund to equalise the financial position over the lifetime of the scheme. 

## **2.8 Disposal Proceeds Fund** 

The net surpluses, after loan repayments, that arise from the sale of property to tenants under the voluntary purchase grant arrangements, instituted by the Department for Communities, can be utilised by the Association.  If the surpluses are not used within two years of their receipt they may be payable in part or in full to the Department for Communities. 

## **2.9 Income tax** 

The Association is accepted as a charity by the HMRC.  Income and capital gains of the Association are generally exempt from tax if applied for charitable purposes. 

## **2.10 Value Added Tax** 

The Association is not registered for VAT. All of its income, including rental receipts, is exempt for VAT purposes. 

**24** 



_**Alpha Housing (Northern Ireland) Ltd Year Ended 31 March 2024**_ 

## **2.11 Financial instruments** 

The Association 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 measured at their settlement value. 

## **2.12 Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

No judgements have been made in the process of applying the above accounting policies (apart from those involving estimates).  There were no key assumptions made concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. 

## **2.13 Going concern** 

After making appropriate enquiries, the Board of Management has a reasonable expectation that the Association has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in the financial statements. 

## **3. Turnover, Operating costs and operating surplus**

## **18. Contingent Liabilities** 

The Association released Housing Association Grant to income during the year in accordance with the Housing SORP.  The possibility of reimbursement to the Department for Communities is considered to be unlikely as the housing properties are expected to continue to be made available for social housing for the foreseeable future. 

The Association has a potential liability that at the date of approval of the financial statements is considered unlikely to be realised. In the unlikely event that a liability is realised it is expected that any costs associated with this matter will be reimbursed by the insurers. While it is not possible to estimate the remaining liability to the Association, it will not be material.
