This has been prepared in line with the Governance Code which informs best practice in this area. YMCA Ireland has formally signed up to The Governance Code for the Community, Voluntary and Charitable Sector in Ireland.
d. ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE AND DECISION MAKING
The Trustees meet as part of the National Executive of the National Council of YMCAs of Ireland Ltd. During 2022/23 the National Executive met on 7 occasions. In addition there is a Personnel & Training Standing
3
The National Council of Young Men's Christian Associations of Ireland Limited
Report of the Executive Committee for the year ended 31 March 2023
Committee which is responsible for advising the National Executive on personnel issues, a Finance and Audit committee which meets to prepare and monitorthe audit process and a Global Justice & International Development Standing committee. In addition the AGM have appointed Standing Committees for Greenhill YMCA, Portadown YMCA and Newcastle YMCA which meet to assess local needs, develop strategy and scrutinise the local budget. All committees have terms of reference and are accountable to the Executive at each meeting. None of the YMCA Trustees received remuneration for their services. Day to day operational and programme delivery is the responsibility of the Senior management and operational staff team.
e. RELATED PARTY RELATIONSHIPS
The AGM appoints Trustees to the National Council of Ireland YMCA (ROI) CLG which is registered with the Charity Regulatory Authority. These trustees are all members of the National Executive Committee.
f. RISK MANAGEMENT
The National Executive has assessed the major risks to which the Company is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Charity, and is satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks.
The organisation has a Risk Register which is prepared by the senior management team and reviewed annually by the National Executive. The risk register seeks to summarise the threats or possibility that an action or event (or sometimes inaction) will adversely affect our organisation's ability to achieve its objectives. We strive to:
-
Avoid unnecessary risks
-
Control risks which inevitably arise as a result of our activities
A key risk at this time is the increase in the cost of living costs and the uncertainty of funding within the voluntary sector in Ireland.
Pay Policy for Staff
The National Council at its Annual General Meeting appoint a Standing Committee to oversee all Personnel matters. All staff remuneration is based on a job evaluation system based on job function and responsibility and salaries are set against a YMCA Pay Scale. The Committee examined salaries against the NJC scales, which indicated that the remuneration levels for staff were appropriately aligned with sector averages.
Pension Scheme
The Council operates a Workplace Pension Scheme with Royal London, which is administered on behalf of the Trust by a professional advisor. Staff are enrolled in the scheme on appointment with a postponement period of three months.
Volunteers
The YMCA is dependent on the contribution of volunteers for both the delivery of programmes and services and also for providing strategic and operational oversight of its activities at both a local and national level. In addition to local programme and management volunteers, the YMCA also hosts a number of international volunteers.
In 2022/23, approximately 50 volunteers were engaged with the National Council in NI. We estimate a total of 50,000 hours of voluntary work were contributed at £10.42 per hour ( national Living Wage with effect from 1 April 2023), this equates to a contribution (in terms of social capital) of over £500,000 in 2022/23.
The YMCA operates a policy where travel and out of pocket expenses can be reimbursed to volunteers.

5. Develop Effective Communication:
Why?
In order to achieve our Vision and Mission, we will promote the image and values of the YMCA in Ireland by ensuring that relevant information is communicated to both our internal and external stakeholders.

-
participate in existing and new fora.

-
externally.
Progress

Plans for future periods
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
A £1m centre for Greenhill YMCA has been completed and provides space for 160 people to gather at Greenhill for activities and programmes. In addition, this facility incorporates a hydrotherapy pool for the use of young people with additional needs, thanks to funding from the National Lottery. This facility has also enabled the development of swimming lessons which has generated some much needed income. Other social enterprises, such as an ice cream parlour are being considered.

The National Council of Young Men's Christian Associations of Ireland Limited
Report of the Executive Committee for the year ended 31 March 2023
The strategic plan was approved at the AGM in November, 2022. Work based on the strategic plan is highlighted above and will continue to guide annual work plans for all departments over the coming year.
Applications have been submitted for Peace Plus funding. If these are successful, it will have a significantly positive impact on YMCA Ireland finances from 2024 onwards.
Financial review
The overall financial performance for the year was satisfactory due to the financial climate. The charity's total reserves decreasing by £319,734 to a still very healthy £4,223,840.
Unrestricted funds at £706,803 decreased by £25,532 whilst funds set aside for specific purposes “designated funds” at £138,010 increased by £53,748, a net decrease of £79,280.
The balance sheet of the charity remains strong. The cash position at the year end was at £613,101 an increase of £62,609 compared to the start of the year. Creditors payable at the year end were £241,006 an increase of £50,462.
There were no cash flow issues encountered during the year.
a.GOING CONCERN
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Council has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
b. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The National Council seeks to balance its income between self generated funding and fundraising including institutional support and government grants. Over dependence on a single source of finance is a concern and reserves are kept to ensure any sharp downturns in funding can be accommodated.
The National Executive receives bi-monthly financial reports outlining income and expenditure against budgets. This can enable management to identify any issues as they arise and take corrective action.
c. PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
YMCA is working towards being more self-sustaining and resilient through spreading the funding base and taking a more intentional social enterprise approach as we can no longer afford to depend on the Education Authority as a primary source of funding.
c. RESERVES POLICY
National Executive committee have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets (‘the free reserves’) held by the charity should be three months to six months of the unrestricted resources expended.
At this level the Executive feels that National Council would be able to continue the current activities of the charity, in the event of a significant drop in funding. It would be necessary to consider how the funding would be replaced or the activities changed.
At present free reserves, excluding designated funds, amount to £706,803. Provision has also been made for potential redundancy costs should government funding be withdrawn or significantly reduced.
These funds are held to offset any sudden changes in grant aid to the organisation.

Report of the Independent Auditors
to the members of The National Council of Young Men's Christian Associations of Ireland Limited
(a company limited by guarantee)
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The National Council of Young Men's Christian Associations of Ireland Limited for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprises the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the cash flow statement and the notes to the accounts, 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 Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the accounts:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at year ended 31 March 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
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 Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the accounts section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the accounts in the UK, including the FRC’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 trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropiate.
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 charity’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 trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditors' report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:
-
the information given in the Trustees Report for the financial year for which the accounts are prepared is consistent with the accounts; and
-
the Trustees Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception

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 accounts are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Report of the Independent Auditors (continued)

Responsibilities of Trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees Responsibilities, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts 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 accounts that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the accounts, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’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 Trustees either intend to liquidate the company or 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 accounts 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 the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these accounts.
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 obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the company through enquiry of management, industry research and the application of cumulative audit knowledge. We identified the following principal laws and regulations relevant to the company – Companies Act 2006 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
We developed an understanding of the key fraud risks to the entity (including how fraud might occur), the controls in place to help mitigate those risks, and the accounts, balances and disclosures within the financial statements which may be susceptible to management bias. Our understanding was obtained through review of the financial statements for significant accounting estimates, analysis of journal entries, walkthrough of the key controls cycles in place and enquiry of management.
Our procedures to respond to those risks identified included, but were not limited to: Enquiry of management, those charged with governance and the entity’s solicitors around actual and potential litigation and claims. Enquiry of management to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other

adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the accounts is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: http://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and regulations made under that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters 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 charitable company and its members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the 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 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102, Section 1A), and the Companies Act 2006.
The National Council of Young Men's Christian Associations of Ireland Limited 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) Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Council has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and assuming that government funding is renewed. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. This is also based on the organisation’s ability to operate with an effective business plan including the ability of our residential centre to cover its costs and build reserves for future development.
(c) Fund Accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes.
General funds may be transferred to designated funds where Trustees wish to use these funds for a specific purpose. Such funds may be transferred back to general funds once the criteria for the designation have been met or are no longer applicable.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of restricted funds is set out in the notes to the financial statements. Restricted funds may only be transferred to general or designated funds once the criteria for restriction have been discharged or no longer apply.
d) Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. Income is deferred only when the charity has to fulfill conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor/funder has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period.

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES ctd…
e) Donated services and facilities
In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time of supporters is not recognised and refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.
f) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
-
Costs of raising funds;
-
Expenditure on charitable activities comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
g) Equipment used in projects
The cost of equipment purchased for use in projects is included in the project budget for grant claim purposes.
The Trustees consider that equipment purchased for these projects form part of the cost of the projects and should not be included as fixed assets of the charity.
h) Operating leases
Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
i) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following basis:
Leasehold Property 4% Straight Line Freehold Property 2% Straight Line Cabins and chalets 4% Straight Line Fixtures and fittings - Fittings 25% Straight Line - Computer equipment 25% Straight Line Motor vehicles 20% straight Line
The carrying values of tangiable fixed assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES ctd
j) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
k) Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term current accounts.
l) Creditors and provisions
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 amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount.
m) Financial instruments
The trust 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.
n) Taxation
The company is a registered charity and the charitable tax exemptions are therefore being claimed to the extent that income and/or gains are applicable and applied to charitable purposes only. These exemptions will remain in place as long as income and expenditure is applied to charitable purposes only.
o) Reserves Policy
In the interest of prudence and to provide for future stability, The National Council of Young Men's Christian Associations of Ireland Limited has introduced a reserves policy which aims to maintain unrestricted reserves equivalent to between three and six months of its ongoing charitable expenditure.
p) Pensions
The Council operates a Workplace Pension Scheme with Royal London, which is administered on behalf of the Trust by a professional advisor. Staff are enrolled in the Scheme on appointment with a postponement period of three months
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
