Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Scottish Building Federation is a private company limited by guarantee domiciled in Scotland, registration number SC354581. The registered office is Unit 5 Gateway Business Park, Beancross Road, Grangemouth, FK3 8WX.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
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" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

In relation to investment property and certain financial instruments, historical cost convention has been modified for revaluation to fair value.

Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors are of the opinion that it remains appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Turnover
Turnover represents net invoiced sales of services in respect of federation membership and training, excluding value added tax. Income is recognised at the point at which the service is complete, with proportional adjustment depending on cut-off at the year-end.

Fixed asset investments
Interests are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at market value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in the profit or loss. Transaction costs are expensed to the profit or loss as incurred.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, cash held as part of the investment portfolio and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

Investment property
Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in surplus or deficit.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to surplus or deficit on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company operates a defined benefit pension scheme and the pension charge is based on a full actuarial valuation dated 31 July 2017 and updated by the actuary to 31 December 2023.

The cost of providing benefits under defined benefit plans is determined using the projected unit credit method, and is based on actuarial advice.

The change in the net defined benefit liability arising from employee service during the year is recognised as an employee cost. The cost of plan introductions, benefit changes, settlements and curtailments are recognised as an expense in measuring profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

The net interest element is determined by multiplying the net defined benefit liability by the discount rate, taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability during the period as a result of contribution and benefit payments. The net interest is recognised in profit or loss as other finance revenue or cost.

Remeasurement changes comprise actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling and the return on the net defined benefit liability excluding amounts included in net interest. These are recognised immediately in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur and are not reclassified to profit and loss in subsequent periods.

The defined net benefit pension asset or liability in the balance sheet comprises the present value of the defined benefit obligation (using a discount rate based on high quality corporate bonds), less the fair value of plan assets out of which the obligations are to be settled directly. Fair value is based on market price information, and in the case of quoted securities, is the published bid price. The value of a defined benefit pension asset is limited to the amount that may be recovered either through reduced contributions or agreed refunds from the scheme.

The company also operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company. The annual contributions payable are charged to the profit and loss account.

Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Provisions are discounted where the time value of money is material.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
