• Further developed our health and wellbeing offering through the Findout Training with an enhanced resilience programme which incorporates a physical health assessment and a one-day resilience course. The success of the programme was reflected in participation figures with 707 health assessments and 22 one day courses delivered in the year. • Further developed our membership benefits scheme to provide an even a greater number and range of offers and discounts in outlets across the island of Ireland. • Continued to play a key role in supporting local and wider community objectives by hosting several local events at The Pavilion, Stormont, including cricket finals at all levels, football tournaments involving local business and community groups and a number of high-profile Irish hockey finals. All these events were successful in raising our profile around event management and in highlighting and promoting the facilities at the Pavilion to a local and wider community audience. • Continued to play host to local community and charitable initiatives, including multi-cultural sports events, football and rugby academies, children’s summer schemes and several local and UK fundraising activities which helped raise over £100,000 to support the work of several local and UK based charities. • Continued to further our ambitions to develop the facilities at the Pavilion Complex with the submission of capital funding applications to support the implementation of phase one of the capital development project to develop an indoor sports hall, cricket infrastructure to host international events, including the 2030 ICC men’s T20 World Cup and a multi-sports 3G pitch on the site. **Financial review (including reserves policy)** NICSSA’s reserves policy was reviewed and updated during April 2024. The trustees have set a level equivalent of up to three months total operating costs for the charity as a desired level of reserve. This fund is a contingency in the event of a sudden reduction in income, in order to protect the future operation of the organisation from the effects of any unforeseen variations in its income and expenditure. It also provides a cash flow for grants and contracts that are paid in arrears. The trustees have designated reserves where there are planned commitments that cannot be met by anticipated future income alone. The reserves policy and the levels of reserves required are reviewed yearly as part of the annual budgetary process. **Plans for future periods** NICSSA’s Board in conjunction with its key strategic partners, covering cross border governing bodies representing Cricket, Hockey, Rugby, Tennis and Gaelic games; and in consultation with its extensive base of community users, have developed a capital Strategic Programme, which aims to deliver a large-scale signature, multi-sport capital development programme, over the next 3-7 years. The Strategic Programme would see the creation of a centre of excellence for sport and physical activity, capable of hosting a range of sports and recreational activity from grassroots to professional level. It will be a top-class destination for sport and physical recreation, with indoor and outdoor facilities to host 16 different sports at all levels, including rugby, football, cricket, tennis, hockey, bowls and Gaelic games. These will be complemented by indoor ancillary facilities and services, including a health club, conference facilities and a multi-sports hall to host netball, archery, futsal, indoor hockey, cricket, basketball, fencing, badminton, volleyball, table tennis and Special Olympics. When complete, the final Strategic Programme will include: • 22 outdoor sports pitches, catering for sports including Rugby, Football, Cricket, Hockey, Tennis, Bowls and Gaelic Games. • 1 full size international covered artificial indoor multi-sport pitch and 1 half-size indoor covered pitch. • A redeveloped main building, providing enhanced facilities, as well as an indoor sports hall, a training centre and new conferencing/hospitality spaces. 

**Plans for future periods** NICSSA’s Board in conjunction with its key strategic partners, covering cross border governing bodies representing Cricket, Hockey, Rugby, Tennis and Gaelic games; and in consultation with its extensive base of community users, have developed a capital Strategic Programme, which aims to deliver a large-scale signature, multi-sport capital development programme, over the next 3-7 years. 

- New media boxes and groundskeeping facilities, providing enhanced infrastructure to support grassroots and professional sport at Stormont. 

Due to its size and budget availability, the Strategic Programme will be separated into a number of individual phases, all of which can be standalone projects and will be subject to funding opportunities.

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The business of the NICSSA Charity is managed by a Board of Trustees. This Board comprises the Association's Chairman, Vice Chairman and Treasurer and up to five other members. Members of the Board shall hold office for a period of three years from appointment and shall be eligible for re-appointment and they shall be the trustees of the Association for the duration of their appointment. **Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities** The Trustees (who are also directors of Northern Ireland Civil Service Sports Association Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: • select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; • observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102); • make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; • state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed; • prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation. The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. In so far as the Trustees are aware: • there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditor is unaware; and • the Trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information. The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. **Statement of disclosure to the auditors** We, the Trustees of the charitable company who held office at the date of approval of these Financial Statements as set out above each confirm, so far as we are aware, that: - there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditors are unaware; and - we have taken all the steps that we ought to have taken as Trustees in order to make ourselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company’s auditors are aware of that information.

**Northern Ireland Civil Service Sports Association Limited** 

## **Independent Auditor’s Report** 

## **Year Ended 31 December 2024** 

**______________________________________________________________________________** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Northern Ireland Civil Service Sports Association Limited (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise of the income and expenditure account, the balance sheet and the relevant notes to the financial statements, including 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 financial statements: • give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of 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 Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008. **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 responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company 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 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 appropriate. 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 association'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. **Other Information** The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained in the Trustees’ Report. 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. 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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. 

The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained in the Trustees’ Report. 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. 

We have nothing to report in this regard.

## **Independent Auditor’s Report** 

## **Year Ended 31 December 2024** 

## **______________________________________________________________________________** 

## **Opinions on other matters** 

- 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 financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; 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 Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015 require us to report to you if, in our opinion: • the information given in the Trustees' report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or 

- • sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or • the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or • we have not obtained all the information and explanations necessary for the purpose of our audit. **Responsibilities of Trustees** As explained more fully in the Trustees’ report set out on page 4, Trustees are 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 Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud and error. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’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 charitable 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 association’s 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 it 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 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: Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows: • the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; 

- • we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the association through discussions with Trustees and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the sector; 

- • we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, such as the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015; 

**Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the association’s 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 it 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 financial statements. 

- we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management; and 

- identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.

## **Independent Auditor’s Report** 

## **Year Ended 31 December 2024** 

**______________________________________________________________________________** 

We assessed the susceptibility of the charitable company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by: • making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; • considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: • performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; • tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions. In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: • agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; • reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; • enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims. 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. 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, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements 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. **Purpose of our audit work and to whom we owe our responsibilities** This report is made solely to the charitable company’s Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015.  Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s Trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s 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 the charitable company’s Trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. **Paul G.

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 each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. **(c) Income recognition** All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received. For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled. 

Donated facilities and donated professional services are recognised in income at their fair value when their economic benefit is probable, it can be measured reliably and the charity has control over the item. Fair value is determined on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity. For example, the amount the charity would be willing to pay in the open market for such facilities and services. A corresponding amount is recognised in expenditure.

## **(c) Income recognition (continued)** 

No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP. Further detail is given in the Trustees’ Annual Report. Where practicable, gifts in kind donated for distribution to the beneficiaries of the charity are included in stock and donations in the financial statements upon receipt. If it is impracticable to assess the fair value at receipt or if the costs to undertake such a valuation outweigh any benefits, then the fair value is recognised as a component of donations when it is distributed and an equivalent amount recognised as charitable expenditure. Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred. The charity receives government grants in respect of projects. Income from government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred. **(d) Expenditure recognition** All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings: • Costs of raising funds includes the cost of wages and ; • Expenditure on charitable activities includes direct project costs; and • Other expenditure represents those items not falling into the categories above. Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose. Grants payable to third parties are within the charitable objectives. Where unconditional grants are offered, this is accrued as soon as the recipient is notified of the grant, as this gives rise to a reasonable expectation that the recipient will receive the grants. Where grants are conditional relating to performance then the grant is only accrued when any unfulfilled conditions are outside of the control of the charity. **(e) Support costs allocation** Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.  Premises overheads have been allocated on an apportioned area basis and other overheads have been allocated on a time spent basis. Fund-raising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. 

Where practicable, gifts in kind donated for distribution to the beneficiaries of the charity are included in stock and donations in the financial statements upon receipt. If it is impracticable to assess the fair value at receipt or if the costs to undertake such a valuation outweigh any benefits, then the fair value is recognised as a component of donations when it is distributed and an equivalent amount recognised as 

The charity receives government grants in respect of projects. Income from government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred. 

The analysis of these costs is included in note 7.

## **(f) Intangible assets** 

Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are capitalised at cost.  Intangible assets acquired on business combinations are capitalised separately from goodwill if the fair value can be measured reliably on initial recognition. Research expenditure is written off against profits in the year in which it is incurred.  Identifiable development expenditure is capitalised to the extent that the technical, commercial and financial feasibility can be demonstrated. Intangible assets are amortised on a straight line basis over their useful lives.  The useful lives of intangible assets are as follows: _Intangible type Useful life_ Find Out Brand 10 years Provision is made for any impairment. **(g) Tangible fixed assets** Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.  Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows: Land and buildings Remaining licence term to July 2051 Plant and equipment 5 – 12.5 years Websites and booking systems. 3 – 10 years The useful life of property and structural improvements was reviewed from 1 January 2023, with depreciation rates amended at that time to the remaining lease term of 27.5 years to July 2051. **(h) Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year** Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure. **(i) Loans and borrowings** Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the transaction price including transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment.  If an arrangement constitutes a finance transaction it is measured at present value. **(j) Impairment** Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date.  If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset’s cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount.  Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease.

## **(k) Provisions** 

Provisions are recognised when the company has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount can be reliably estimated. **(l) Tax** The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. **(m) Employee benefits** When employees have rendered service to the company, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service. The company operates a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its employees.  Contributions are expensed as they become payable. **(n) Going concern** The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern. **(o) Key accounting estimates and judgements** In the application of the Association’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. Revision 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. 17
