Report of the Board of Management for the year ended 31 March 2024
Strategic Report
The Board present their report together with the financial statements for the year ended
31 March 2024.
Principal activities
The Association is a registered non-profit making Housing Association and is recognised
by CCNI and HMRC as having charitable status.
The Association's principal activity is the provision of a range of housing and support
options for older people across Northern Ireland such as supported sheltered houses,
sheltered accommodation and a care home.
Business Performance Review
The recovery for the Association from the COVID pandemic continues to be slower than
anticipated during the financial year, with void levels remaining higher than the target in
Supported Sheltered Housing. Voids elsewhere in the business are back at in and around
the predicted levels. Agency costs for staffing in the care home continue to be higher than
budgeted due to long term sickness cover and challenges in recruiting suitable permanent
staff.
The Association returned an overall deficit of £201,912 this year, a decrease of £275,608
on the surplus in 2022/23 of £73,696. The operating deficit on social housing activities
was £217,259 compared to a surplus of £57,400 in 2022123.
The Board aims to keep rents and charges affordable for all, however, with the annual
increases in minimum wage payments (and resulting implications for differential payment
levels), as well as pension contributions, increases in costs, particularly in relation to food,
utilities and maintenance, combined with a lack of a meaningful increase in Supporting
People funding and the Residential Care Home tariff, this continues to be increasingly
challenging. At the start of the year, charges for housing and support were increased by
11 % for Supported Sheltered and 10 % for Sheltered.
The Financial Position remains strong with net current assets of £1,419,509 and total
reserves of £6,564,639.
Value for Money
Abbeyfield and Wesley aims to provide more than simply somewhere for older people to
live. In our accommodation we aim to create a sense of family and close links with the
local community, enabling our residents to maintain social connections which are so vital
to health and well-being.
In order to provide this added social value, as well as providing quality services and
maintaining properties to a high standard, resources have to be managed as efficiently
and effectively as possible. Everyone in the association is involved in this endeavour, and
we also actively encourage input from external resources.
The key themes in the Strategic Plan reflect the aims of enhancing the lives of older people
and providing social impact and value for money.

Risks
The Board have reviewed the strategic and key risk register quarterly throughout the year.
This covers inherent and residual risks for the key strategic areas within the organisation
as well as further actions that the Association has put in place to minimise any potential
impact. This will continue to be reviewed and amended by the Association.
strategic changes in the coming year
The Association has established a financial resilience working group which will feed into an
updated Strategic Plan. Void rates, marketing and fixed costs will be key themes going
forward, along with updated planned maintenance activity which continued to be delayed
while the recruitment of a new Property Manager was ongoing.
The cash flow provides assurance that the Association can operate for the foreseeable
future.
Corporate Governance
In the opinion of the Board, the Association is in compliance with the Best Practice Code
of Governance issued by the NHF and has complied with all Dfc Regulatory Standards
during the year.
Treasury Management Policy
Abbeyfield & Wesley considers that effective treasury management will support the
achievement of its business and service objectives and is committed to:
The security of financial assets and the minimisation of risk.
The preservation of asset value and liquidity levels.
The minimisation of costs within those parameters.
Achieving an appropriate rate of return.
The Association maintains a risk averse stance to investment of cash balances and aims
to have sufficient liquid funds available to meet operational costs and borrowing to a
minimum. The Association does not currently have any loans.

adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For
this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial
statements.

Internal controls
The Board confirms that no issues were raised by the Department for Communities in relation
to their Regulatory Standards during the year ended 31 March 2024.
The Board is responsible for the Association's systems of internal financial control and along
with senior management, is responsible for establishing and operating detailed control and
report procedures. The systems of internal financial control can provide only reasonable, and
not absolute, assurance against material misstatement and loss.
The Board has reviewed the effectiveness of the Association's system of internal financial
control. The review included consideration of the business risks facing the association and of
the existing internal financial control procedures. The key elements of the control system in
operation are:
Adoption by the Board of a formal schedule of matters reserved for its approval,
ensuring it maintains responsibility for overall strategy, approval of all property
transactions and other major capital expenditure projects.
An organisational structure with clearly defined lines of responsibility and delegation
of authority.
Preparation of detailed budgets covering the business of the Association which are
approved and regularly reviewed by the Board. Actual results are compared against
budget and, where necessaryi appropriate action identified and initiated.
Compliance with Code of Best Practice
The auditors have confirmed that in their opinion, with respect to the Board's statements on
internal financial control and going concern above, the members have provided the
disclosures required by the Code and such statements are not inconsistent with the
information of which they are aware from their audit work on the financial statements, and
that the Board's statement on pages 3 to 8 appropriately reflects the Association's compliance
with the other paragraphs of the Code. They have carried out their review in accordance with
the relevant Bulletin issued by the Auditing Practices Board, which does not require them to
perform any additional work necessary to express a separate opinion on the effectiveness of
either the Association's system of internal financial control or corporate governance
procedures, or on the ability of the Association to continue in operational existence.

Independent Auditor's Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Abbeyfield and Wesley Housing Association
Limited for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the statement of comprehensive
income, the statement of changes in reserves, the statement of financial position, the
statement of cash flows and the related notes to the financial statements, 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) and the Housing SORP - Statement of Recommended Practice for
social housing providers issued by the National Housing Federation.
In our opinion the financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the state of the Association's affairs as at 31 March 2024
and of its deficit for the year then ended.
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted
Accounting Practice. and
have been properly prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Co-operative
and Community Benefit Societies Act (Northern Ireland) 1969 (formerly the Industrial
and Provident Societies Act (Northern Ireland) 1969), with the requirements of Article
19 of the Housing (Northern Ireland) Order 1992, Registered Housing Associations
(Accounting Requirements) Order (Northern Ireland) 1993, the Charities Act (Northern
Ireland) 2008 and Regulation 9 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations
(Northern Ireland) 2015.
Basis of 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 financial statements section of our
report.
We are independent of the Association in accordance with the ethical requirements that
are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC'S Ethical
Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with those
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
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAS
(UK) require us to report to you where:
the Board of Management's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the
preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate. or

Abbeyfield & Wesley Housing Association Ltd
Year Ended 31 March 2024
Independent Auditor's Report (cont'd)
the Board of Management have not disclosed in the financial statements any
identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the
Association's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for
a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are
authorised for issue.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the Report of the Board of
Management other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The
Board of Management is responsible for the other information. 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.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information and, in so doing, 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.
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit;
the information given in the Report of the Board of Management for the financial
year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial
statements; and
the Report of the Board of Management has been prepared in accordance with
applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Association and its environment
obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the
Report of the Board of Management.
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
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Independent Auditor's Report (cont'd)
Responsibilities of the Board of Management
As explained more fully in the Board of Management responsibilities statement the Board of
Management is 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 Board of
Management 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 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 gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the
Association and the industry in which they operate, and considered the risk of acts by the
Association that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We
considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the Association for fraud
and identified the greatest potential for fraud in the following areas: management override
of controls.
We designed audit procedures to respond to these rlsks, recognising that the risk of not
detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one
resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery
or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. Our audit procedures included:
enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of risks of
irregularities, testing the design and implementation of controls relating to the risks and
sample testing of journals posted during the year.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all
irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements
or non-compliance with regulation.
li

Abbeyfield & Wesley Housing Association Ltd
Year Ended 31 March 2024
Independent Auditor's Report (cont'd)
This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the
events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to
become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding
irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional
concealment, forgeryi collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

Notes to the financial statements
l. Legal status
Abbeyfield & Wesley Housing Association is a housing association registered in Northern
Ireland in the United Kingdom under the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies
(Northern Ireland) Act 2016 (formerly known as the Industrial and Provident Societies Act
(Northern Ireland) 1969). The registered office of the Association is 2 Wesley Court,
Carrickfergus, BT38 8HS.
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 rent and service charge income arising from the provision of housing
accommodation and the amortisation of Housing Association Grant.
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/HAG due is included
as a current asset. SHG/HAG received in advance is included as a liability.
SHG/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/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.

Notes to the financial statements (cont.)
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 over the

Notes to the financial statements (cont.)
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 Properties held for sale
Properties held for sale are valued at the lower of depreciated cost and net realisable
value.
2.7 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and in bank with maturities of one
month or less.
2.8 Current asset investments
Current asset investments are investments in short-term deposits with an original
maturity between one and twelve months.
2.9 Employee benefits - Defined Contribution Pension
The Association operates a defined contribution scheme for eligible 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.
2.10 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.
2.11 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.

Notes to the financial statements (cont.)
2.12 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.
2.13 Value Added Tax
The Association is not registered for VAT. All of its income, including rental receipts, is
exempt for VAT purposes.
2.14 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.
2.15 Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of
estimation uncertainty
No judgments 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.
2.16 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.
