Risk management is embedded throughout the group. Officers and members ensure that all decisionmaking is carried out on a ̀ risk aware' basis, ensuring that all opportunities and threats that couldimpact on achievement of business objectives are evaluated across all activities and action is put inplace to reduce threats to an acceptable level, prior to finalising the decision making process.

This enables the organisation to mitigate any threats whilst maximising opportunities, henceprotecting its ability to continue to provide existing services, allowing for expansion of serviceprovision, and ensuring long term viability of the group.

Treasury activities are controlled and monitored by the Director of Financial Services with theassistance of external consultants as required and are carried out in accordance with policiesapproved by the Group Board. The purpose of the treasury management function is to ensure thatadequate cost-effective funding is available at all times and that exposure to financial risk isminimised. The key risk managed by the treasury function is liquidity risk. Treasury managementactivity is subject to review by both internal and external Auditors on a regular basis. The GroupBoard have updated their skills knowledge and understanding of treasury management.

Cash flow requirements are monitored through the group's ongoing forecasting process. It is ourpolicy to cover investment plans. This is achieved by the use of detailed cash flow forecasts coveringshort, medium and long term, together with a program of short-term cash investment and use ofrevolving credit facilities. We manage cash investments in-house and our policy is first to minimisecounter-party risk and then to maximise return.

Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Changes in Reserves, and related notes, including the

and applicable law. Our responsibilities are described below. We have fulfilled our ethical

responsibilities under, and are independent of the company in accordance with, UK ethical

requirements including the FRC Ethical Standard. We believe that the audit evidence we have

obtained is a sufficient and appropriate basis for our opinion.

Going concern

We are required to report to you if we have concluded that the use of the going concern basis of

accounting is inappropriate or there is an undisclosed material uncertainty that may cast significant

doubt over the use of that basis for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the

financial statements. We have nothing to report in these respects.

Directors' report

The directors are responsible for the directors' report. Our opinion on the financial statements does

financial statements audit work, the information therein is materially misstated or inconsistent with the

financial statements or our audit knowledge. Based solely on that work:

we have not identified material misstatements in the directors' report;

in our opinion the information given in that report for the financial year is consistent with the

financial statements; and

in our opinion that report has been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

Under the Companies Act 2006 we are required 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

requirement to prepare a strategic report.

We have nothing to report in these respects.

08 I Notes to the Financial Statements

Legal statusOakleaf Commercial Services Limited (Oakleafl is a limited company. It is a subsidiary of TheCommunity Housing Group Limited (TCHG) and was incorporated on 5 July 2013.

Principal accounting policiesThe following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which areconsidered to be material in relation to the company's financial statements:

Basis of preparationThe financial statements of the company are prepared in accordance with the Companies Act2006 and Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102).

TurnoverTurnover represents income arising from the provision of repairs and maintenance services andsimilar income in the UK.

Going concernThe Board has a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue inoperational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least twelve months afterthe date on which the report and financial statements are signed. For this reason, it continues toadopt the going concern basis in the financial statements.

DebtorsShort term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.

A provision is charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income to provide for debts that maynot be recovered, on the basis of management's assessment of recoverability.

CreditorsShort term trade creditors are measured at the transaction price.

Tangible Fixed Assets and DepreciationTangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and depreciation ischarged on a monthly basis. Depreciation is provided evenly on the cost of other tangible fixedassets to write them down to their estimated residual values over their expected useful lives. Theprincipal annual rates used for other assets are:

Office equipment 20-25% per annumMaintenance equipment 20-33% per annumMotor Vehicles 14-25% per annum

Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting datebased on the expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate totechnological obsolescence that may change the utility of certain software and IT equipment andthe degree of wear and tear that may result in more frequent replacement of key components.

ImpairmentFixed assets are reviewed annually for impairment. Where indicators are identified anassessment for impairment is undertaken comparing the asset's carrying amount to itsrecoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset is deemed to exceed itsrecoverable amount, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount, this is likely to be thevalue in use of the asset based on its service potential. The resulting impairment loss isrecognised as expenditure in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Where an asset iscurrently deemed not to be providing service potential to the association, its recoverableamount is its fair value less costs to sell.

08 ~ Notes to the Financial Statements

2. Principal accounting policies (continued)

Goodwill

Goodwill is written down on a straight line basis over its expected useful life, which is 5 years.

This is based on the maximum life of existing contracts.

Cash flow

The company has taken advantage of the exemption available in FRS102 from preparing a

statement of cash flows, on the basis that it is a qualifying entity and the consolidated statement

of cash flows, included in the financial statements of The Community Housing Group Limited,

includes the company's cash flows.

Inventories

The value of stock is shown at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to

complete and sell.

Financial instrumentsFinancial instruments which meet the criteria of a basic financial instrument as defined in

Section 11 of FRS 102 are accounted for under an amortised historic cost model.

As a wholly owned subsidiary of The Community Housing Group Limited, the company has

taken the exemption from disclosures related to financial instruments in accordance with

FRS102.

Value Added Tax (VAT)The company charges Value Added Tax (VAT) on some of its income and is able to recover part

of the VAT it incurs on expenditure. The financial statements include VAT to the extent that it is

suffered and not recoverable from HM Revenue and Customs. The balance of VAT payable or

recoverable at the year-end is included as a current liability or asset.

Significant Management Judgments

ImpairmentManagement judgment is applied when considering whether impairment triggers apply to the

impairment of assets and the valuation of any subsequent impairment loss. No such triggers

have been identified in 2018.

Estimation uncertaintyInformation about estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on recognition

and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses is provided below.

Useful lives of depreciable assetsManagement reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date

based on the expected utility of the assets.
