Notes to the Accounts
for the year ended 31 December 2024
1 | Accounting policies
| Basis of preparation
| The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards including Financial Reporting Standard 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the company. The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
| Turnover
| Grants are receivable from the following bodies in accordance with the conditions set out within the strategy document issued by the Board:
| Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council
| Newry, Mourne and Down District Council
| Ards and North Down Borough Council
| Monaghan County Council
| Meath County Council
| Louth County Council
| S.E.U.P.B.
| Dept of Foreign Affairs Reconciliation Fund
| Briefly, the company is entitled to draw down on funds granted to them, to cover administration costs, when the relevant expenditure has been committed.
| Grants drawn down in respect of administration and project costs, have been shown as turnover within the profit and loss account. Grants drawn down in respect of capital expenditure, have been capitalised within the balance sheet and are then amortised through the income and expenditure account to match the related depreciation.
| Tangible fixed assets
| Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:
| Fixtures and fittings | 25% straight line
| Debtors
| Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.
| Creditors
| Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method.
| Foreign currency translation
| Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recognised at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period foreign currency monetary items are translated at the closing rate of exchange. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost are translated at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are charged to profit or loss.
| Pensions
| Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed in the period to which they relate.
| 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 the profit and loss account unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease.
