REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 |
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
Achievements and performance |
DAVID BUSST, HEAD OF COMMUNITY |
Our team continue to be enthusiastic, passionate and dedicated working above and beyond to make a difference in our community and through the use of sport we hope to succeed in changing the lives of people who deserve it most. |
HAF - (Holiday Activities Food) |
Our holiday activities and food programme has continued to provide support to children/families in receipt of free school meal vouchers through-out Coventry Area during set School holiday periods. |
Research has shown that the school holidays can be pressure points for some families. For some children this can lead to a holiday experience gap, with children from low-income households being: |
* Less likely to access organised out-of-school activities |
* More likely to experience 'unhealthy holidays' in terms of nutrition and physical health |
* More likely to experience social isolation |
Our HAF programme is a response to this issue, with evidence showing that free holiday clubs can have a positive impact on children and young people, and that they work best when they: |
* Provide consistent and easily accessible enrichment activities |
* Cover more than just breakfast or lunch |
* Involve children (and parents) in food preparation |
* Use local partnerships and connections, particularly with the voluntary and community organisation sector |
As a result of this programme, we want children who attend this provision to: |
* eat healthily over the school holidays |
* be active during the school holidays |
* take part in engaging and enriching activities which support the development of resilience, character, and wellbeing along with their wider educational attainment. |
* be safe and not to be socially isolated |
* have a greater knowledge of health and nutrition |
* be more engaged with school and other local services |
We also want to ensure that the families who participate in this programme: |
* develop their understanding of nutrition and food budgeting |
* are signposted towards other information and support, for example, health, employment, and education |
Working in partnership remains our key focus which enabled us to impact on the needs of our community and be a key service provider for the delivery of HAF with key stakeholders CCC-Department of Education. On the back of the success of the summer cohorts and particularly the delivery, SBITC secured further funding for Dec 2022. |
PL Sport and Core Activities |
Premier League Primary Stars (PLPS) |
- In 2022, the PLPS project continued to develop the Social Action element of the programmed within schools, seeing many young people volunteering within their school for the local community. |
- A greater number of online calls through Microsoft Teams and Zoom, networking with other CCO's to highlight areas of best practice and improvement which resulted in improved CPD for our coaches and consequently better-quality delivery. |
- Despite the disruption of Covid 19, we met our PLPS KPI's in 2021 with 25 teachers, 50 classes,6 social action projects and large number of PSHE/Numeracy/Literacy interventions taking place. |

* Life skills |
- The Joy of moving programme is delivered within schools and consists of two elements; the Move & Learn project and Joy of moving Festivals. |
Health |
At Sky Blues in the Community, one of our main aims is to improve the health and wellbeing of our participants. This includes improving the quality of life for individuals with mental and physical difficulties, increasing life expectancy of the older generation through sport and reducing the use of health and social services. We offer a range of programmes which target the entire population and improve the lifestyles of all members of the community. |
MEN talk |
- MEN talk is funded for five years from Jan 2021-Dec 2026 with the aim to support 1600 men aged 25-64 across Coventry and Warwickshire with their emotional health and well-being. |
- The project combines physical exercise and activities with targeted mental health workshops in a non-clinical environment. |
- The mental health workshops cover various topics, including but not limited to: Understanding anxiety, depression, stress, self-compassion and the links between physical and mental health. |
- The overall aim of the project is to improve men's mental health by increasing their resilience to deal with issues constructively, encouraging them to choose healthy lifestyle choices and decreasing their sense of isolation through participation in group activities. |
- MEN talk initially launched in February 2021, using the platform Zoom. Since the launch of MEN talk, SBITC have been instrumental in changing and saving the lives of multiple men across Coventry and Warwickshire. |
"I'm not exaggerating when I say MENtalk has been a lifesaver as I was really struggling and running out of options about how I was going to keep going before being introduced to this course." |
"I've gone from Zero to Hero. I can control my anxiety attacks to an extent now using the methods we were shown in the sessions on MENtalk. I've stopped taking medication because of the training I've received." |
"You've helped in so many ways. I'm not sure you realise how awesome this project is from a person to have lived with this illness for so long. Talking with you has helped to calm me down and get to a better place. This group is awesome for me. My wife wants to thank you as well as she's seen a change." |
DEMENTIA Active |
- DEMENTIA Active is funded to support residents of Coventry with a diagnosis of dementia, early onset dementia and individuals with MCI (congenital or acquired mild cognitive impairments). |
- DEMENTIA Active provides a safe space for participants to engage in activities that they may have enjoyed prior to receiving their diagnosis. |
- While dementia is a condition that progressively worsens, engaging in activities supports participants in delaying the degeneration of their motor skills and balance. |

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 |
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
- DEMENTIA Active also acts as a support mechanism for the family and careers of participants, who are able to socialise over hot drinks provided by SBITC and receive social support. |
- The session also acts as rest-bite for family members and carers. |
- The session is part staffed by SBITC and members of the dementia team at Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Partnership Trust, so we are able to provide a session that has an expert level of care. |
"My son is 20 and he has dementia as a result of a neurological condition, and what we've found is that there are no services in the community for him. It was so lovely to hear about DEMENTIA Active group that he could come along, where he can have a look and engage in the bits (activities) that he likes. It's amazing, he's currently playing badminton, he loves the archery. People are so supportive and engaging with him 1:1, I would really recommend anyone gives it a try." |
"We found it invaluable attending the session, it's been really positive for the people with dementia to attend, we've seen how it's uplifted their mood and their general wellbeing. There has clearly been a need for this service for a very long time." |
"We have been coming for a few months now, it's really nice - he gets up on Monday and it's somewhere he can go, enjoy himself, relax. He really enjoys the badminton and people giving him 1:1 support. It's something that he really enjoys doing." |
"Keeps me occupied. I enjoy it because everybody is polite, my wife gets to go shopping while I'm here enjoying darts and archery. I look forward to coming every week and my wife does. I've made friends and I would recommend the session to anyone." |

Reserves policy |
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to six months staff costs and when achieved lead on to a six-month full cost recovery model. |
The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop income, they will be able to continue the charity's current activities whilst consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. |
Going concern |
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operation existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. |
Principal risks and uncertainties |
The principal risk faced by the charity is the potential loss of funding and decrease in numbers for paid for activities. However, continued partnership working has seen us cement 17 new funding opportunities alongside the increased participation in 2019 for our paid for services. |

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 |
STRATEGIC REPORT |
Organisational Changes |
The financial implications for the charity with grants coming to an end has been minimised, primarily through the Trustees/Head of Community maintaining a financial risk register and subsequently identifying and accessing new funds to continue the breadth of work undertaken by the charity. |
A. Financial Risks |
Every year, the organisation will undertake a financial risk review which considers the following: |
* Operational Risks that may negatively influence financial performance |
* A review of financial policies and procedures (as outlined within the Financial Regulations Manual) |
* Funding risk register (twice-yearly) to identify risks associated with grant fundraising streams and steps to mitigate those risks |
The financial risk review forms part of the wider charity risk management process, which is monitored through an Organisational Risk Register. This document is designed around the Charity Commission best practice guidance on managing risk within charities and is managed, monitored and reviewed by the Directors, with Risk being a standard agenda item at each trustee meeting. |
B. Governance and Leadership |
The Head of Community is accountable to the Board of Trustees that meets as a minimum on a quarterly basis (minimum total of four meetings plus AGM each year). Trustees come from a variety of sport, business, marketing, and community backgrounds, providing a varied skill set to assist the organisations management. |
As well as accountability to the Board of Trustees, every year we go through an assessment by the English Football League Trust and Premier League Charitable Fund called 'CCOP-Capability Code of Practice'. This specification sets out the required standards across 14 key areas. |
The process identifies where our organisation is meeting minimum standards and where we are working towards achieving excellence. The minimum standards have been drawn from existing government guidance, the Charity Commission, industry best practice and Premier League requirements. In some cases, existing guidance has been tailored to the specific context of football club community organisations. |
C. Quality and Impact |
We have a strong commitment to quality across all areas of our organization - including in the way that we are run and in our project delivery. We are often asked to be part of working groups to support the ongoing development of projects - particularly those within the Club Community Organisation (CCO) network. |
We have clear hard and soft outcomes identified for each of our projects and activities, as well as a range of tools and resources that allow us to demonstrate the benefit of our work. These tools are a combination of those that we developed internally, adopted academic methodologies, or established health and education industry frame works. (See 2018 Impact Report) |
D. Public Benefit |
The Trustees have each received the Charity Commissions guidelines on public benefit and this forms part of the induction pack for new Trustees. |
The charity uses the brand of Coventry City Football Club to help achieve its mission of helping people to take part in a physically active, healthy and informed lifestyle, whilst providing an environment that encourages learning, personal development and personal achievement. |

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The trustees (who are also the directors of Sky Blues in the Community for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees 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 which 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 those financial statements, the trustees are required to |
- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
- | observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; |
- | make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
- | state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; |
- | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. |
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. 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 auditors are 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 auditors are aware of that information. |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, Flint & Thompson, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |

Report of the trustees, incorporating a strategic report, approved by order of the board of trustees, as the company directors, on |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
SKY BLUES IN THE COMMUNITY |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Sky Blues in the Community (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and 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 (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 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including 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 Companies Act 2006. |
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 Auditors' 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 charitable company'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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. |
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 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. We have nothing to report in this regard. |
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
- | the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |

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. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
SKY BLUES IN THE COMMUNITY |
Our 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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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 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: |
The auditor’s assessment of the susceptibility of the entity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur Which laws and regulations the auditor identified as being of significance in the context of the entity How the auditor obtained an understanding of: The legal and regulatory framework applicable to the entity and how the entity is complying The entity’s policies and procedures on compliance with laws and regulations, including documentation of any instances of non-compliance The entity’s policies and procedures on fraud risks, including knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud. |
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: |
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. |
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control. |
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees. |
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern. |
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. |
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. |
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors. |

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 |
1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity. Figures are rounded to the nearest £. |
Accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. |
Incoming resources |
All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: |
* Income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. |
* Legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. |
* Income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. |
* Income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted. |
Resources expended |
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: |
* Expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. |
* Expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. |
* Other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. |

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 |
1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Resources expended |
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Computer equipment | - |
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. |
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, except to the extent it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of any previously recognised revaluation increase accumulated in equity in respect of that asset. Where a revaluation decrease exceeds the accumulated revaluation gains accumulated in equity in respect of that asset, the excess shall be recognised in profit or loss. |
Impairment of fixed assets |
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. |
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. |
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the company are assigned to those units. |
Stocks |
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs and purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition. |
Taxation |
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. |
Fund accounting |
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. |
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. |
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. |

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 |
1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Defined contribution plans |
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund. |
When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in profit or loss in the period in which it arises. |
Going concern |
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue. |
Financial instruments |
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. |
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. |
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. |
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. |
Where investments in shares or preference shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. |
Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. |
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in profit or loss, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship (see hedge accounting policy). |
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised. |
For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. |
Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. |
Operating leases |
Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The aggregate benefit of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis. |
