Message froM the PresidentThe Right Revd Rennis Ponniah

Singapore Anglican Community Services

From modest beginnings in the 1950s, SACS has grown to be a leading care provider in psychiatric recovery and rehabilitation. Our Hougang Care Centre (HCC) and Simei Care Centre (SCC) continue to serve hundreds of persons with psychiatric disability. Both centres provide accommodation, a conducive environment and a host of services such as counselling, day care and employment support. Those also in psychiatric recovery but who

live independently or within their own community settings are served by our three Community Rehabilitation & Support Services (CRSS) centres which provide home visits and day care programmes. in addition to these centres, SACS also operates a home (Family Care Centre) to help women with children who are in need of temporary shelter arising from family crisis.

in 2005, we embarked on a plan to bring together the various agencies within SACS to better collaborate and synergise in order to effect a continuum of care. The plan envisaged more participation by our Anglican parishes and schools, philanthropic individuals and institutions, government agencies, other VWOs and the community at large in our work. The overarching aim was, and still is, to see that ‘no one is left behind’ and that we are able to ‘journey with those who are in need of holistic care’. i am happy to say that things are moving in that direction. A first step has been the clustering of our various psychiatric rehabilitation centres under ‘Psychiatric Recovery & Rehabilitation Service’ with a head of staff responsible for service planning, development and overall coordination.

in September 2012 we were delighted to be accredited for a further three years by the Commission for Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), a US-based organisation. SACS was previously awarded accreditation from 2010 – 2012. This follows a rigorous assessment of many aspects of our administration and operation by a team of experts. in achieving the accreditation, we have demonstrated that our services have met international standards for quality, and that we are committed to pursuing excellence.

Another highlight is the official opening of our third Community Rehabilitation and Support Services (CRSS) located at yishun by Mr K Shanmugam, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister for Law and a Member of Parliament (MP) for Nee Soon Group Representation Constituency (Nee Soon GRC). This took place on 5 October with many grassroots and community leaders in attendance. in his speech, the Minister spoke about the rise in mental illness in Singapore and offered support to the centre in its effort to help clients reintegrate into the community.

Our SACS Family Care Centre is one of four recognised crisis shelters in Singapore. in 2012, we registered 156 new clients. On average, 78 clients are served in a month. in addition to providing temporary accommodation, we run programmes which are aimed at empowering our clients to manage and take responsibility for their own lives and gradually to reintegrate with their families and the wider community.

The expression ‘Seek the Welfare of the City’ continues to inspire us to respond to the needs of the community. in the new year, our Employment Support Services (ESS) while continuing to find placements for our clients, will set up a training centre to prepare and equip people with psychiatric disability for employment. Our CRSS centres will expand their reach to visit more clients. But the most exciting project yet is the proposed 300-bedded psychiatric nursing home in Hougang which is expected to begin operation in the last quarter of 2013.

i take this opportunity to express our appreciation to the Ministry of Health (MOH), the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF), the National Council of Social Service (NCSS), and the Agency for integrated Care (AiC) and other funders for their support. i would also like to thank our volunteers and those who serve on the Board. Last but not the least, i would like to pay tribute to my predecessor, the Rt Revd John Chew who contributed much to the growth of SACS.

Introduction

The Psychiatric Rehabilitation and Recovery Services (PRSS) was set up with the purpose of consolidating and integrating the services and resources in the various mental health agencies; Hougang Care Centre, Simei Care Centre, Community Rehabilitation and Support Service (Bukit Batok, Pasir Ris & yishun), and the Temasek Cares - Employment Support Services.

Mr Steven Ting was appointed as Head of PRRS.

Aims of PRRS

PRSS is dedicated to serving our clients effectively and professionally. it is able to do this by:-a) providing a continuum of services to meet clients and their caregivers’ needs at different life stages;b) more efficiently deploying our resources;c) preparing, equipping, transforming ourselves to respond to changes in psychiatric rehabilitation landscape and the growing needs of our nation.

PRSS provides the following:-a) Residential Servicesb) Day Rehabilitation and Activities Servicesc) Community Rehabilitation and Support Servicesd) Employment Servicesf) Pastoral Care Services

CARF Accreditation

The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) international is an independent, non-profit accreditor of health and human services. We voluntarily invited the team to assess two of our services. The CARF Team awarded the three year accreditation, the maximum possible, to all our services. it is a testimony to the high quality and standard of services we provide.

Strategic Planning Exercise

a. in October 2012, the strategic planning exercise started with the participation of Heads of Centres and key staff from all 7 centres, including the Family Care Centre. Over three sessions, an indepth review was carried out.b. Short and long-term goals were articulated and strategies were developed to attain these goals.

PRSS Activities

in order to grow our esprit de corps, a combined Staff Retreat (9 November at Grassroots Club) and a Sports Day (30 November) were held. On 2 December, 36 runners (staff and loved ones from the centres) ran in the Standard Chartered Marathon to raise funds for SACS.

Residential Services

in 2012, we had altogether 432 residential clients; 275 (63.66%) males and 138 (36.34%) females at Hougang Care Centre and Simei Care Centre.. The majority of our clients (84.03%) are referred to us from institute of Mental Health and Acute Hospitals. The rest are from private psychiatrists and social service agencies. After Means Testing, 81.25% of our clients require 75% .

Altogether we have 27 clients in the Supported Housing scheme. To help them reintegrate into the community, the clients rent one room HDB flats to live independently. We continue to support them mainly through the Community Rehabilitation and Support Service.

Community Rehabilitation and Support Service (CRSS).

in October 2012, the CRSS Centre in yishun was officially opened by the Minister of Law and Foreign Affairs, MP for Nee Soon GRC, Mr K Shanmugam. This brings our number of centres to 3 and increases our capacity to serve the country by providing counselling through home visits.

Altogether we now serve 668 clients; 306 (45.81%) males and 362 (54.19%) females. At the moment, the majority are served through home visits with a small number (32) participating in our day activities programmes.

Temasek Cares – Employment Support Services

a) Peer Support Meetings The peer support meeting is a platform for peers to share with each other their challenges and joys of life. We usually start with some light meal followed by a themed discussion facilitated by the Employment Specialists, then small group sharing. The themes so far include stress management, work issues and positive psychology. One of the most empowering sessions was when one of our clients who is now working a peer specialist, shared openly about his recovery journey.

b) Employment Support Programme integrated with illness Management Recovery intervention ProgrammeWe have implemented the illness Management Recovery (iMR) intervention integrated with the Employment Support Programme. The iMR programme is a professional intervention designed to help clients with collaboration from professionals in facilitating treatment of mental illness. The key points are that the effectiveness and efficacy of iMR help in the development of effective coping strategies for the management of symptoms and reduction of relapses.

Partners

This past year, we have several corporations partnering with us. Far East Organisation adopted Simei Care Centre as one of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) beneficiaries. The company has also tied up with us to encourage their employees to involve in our events when we need volunteers.

Mindset is a company set up by the Jardine Group to encourage its employees to assist people recovering from psychiatric disabilities. Their Jardine Ambassadors worked with us closely to organise events to promote mental wellness such as roadshows. Mindset also compiled a catalogue of our social enterprise products and sent it to all its divisions resulting in orders for corporate gifts and greeting cards.

Among grassroots groups, we have worked closely with the Changi Simei Citizens’ Consultative Committee (CCC), and the MPS of Bukit Batok East and Jurong Springs. in 2012, we co-organised a flea market on 19 May involving Changi Simei Community Club, the Residential Committee, Senior Citizens’ Club, Changi General Hospital and Metta Welfare Association in Simei. A mental health talk was presented in the Jurong Springs Constituency. Various presentations on our services have been made to grassroot leaders.

CRSS yishun was invited to be a member of THRiVE an initiative by KhooTeck Puat Hospital to network VWOs serving the northern parts of Singapore. PRSS was invited to be a part of the Psychiatric Network, an initiative of AiC.

PRSS also partnered with various organisations such as The Esplanade, The Boys’ Brigade and churches in organising activities for our clients.

Staff Retreat

The first combined SACS staff retreat was held on 9th Nov at the Grassroots Club.

Trip to Hong Kong

Four staff members had the opportunity to visit Harmony House, which provides a wide range of services for women and children who are victims of violence in Hong Kong. Harmony House has hot line services, a mobile van that goes to the schools to educate the children, and social workers stationed at the hospitals from 5 pm to 10 pm to work with victims of violence admitted through the Emergency Unit.

Benefactors

We are grateful to our group of dedicated and passionate volunteers, who have worked closely with us this year to plan and execute meaningful programmes that have impacted the lives of our clients. These include programmes for Mothers’ Day, clay modelling for the children, weekly reading with the children, monthly music sessions for the family, befriending and spiritual enrichment.

We are also thankful to the donors; CapitaLand Hope Foundation, the British Association, St George’s Church and Paya Lebar Methodist Church for their generosity which brought relief and hope to our clients

Several organisations also organised activities for our clients; Temasek Holdings organised an outing to the Night Safari, the Seletar Country Club invited our clients to join their anniversary celebrations, CapitaLand brought our clients to Garden Asia, Wesley Methodist Church hosted six families at Skiers Paradise, Resorts World Sentosa invited 40 children from our shelter to join an indoor educational program at the Maritime Experiential Museum and S.E.A Aquarium and a group of iTE teachers organised an outing for the children. The Anglican Schools have also been supportive. St Andrew’s Junior School gave free tickets to our clients so that they could join its Carnival as part of its 150th Anniversary celebrations. Later in the year, the school invited our children to join a soccer session. Our clients were the ViPs at the Green Dot Fiesta at St Margaret’s Primary School. This event celebrates the 170th Anniversary of the school.

Enrichment Programmes

Several agencies were invited to help enrich our residents. SiNDA conducted a nine session parenting workshop which was attended by 8 residents. Focus on the Family gave a talk on the ‘5 love languages for children’ ‘Hot tips on parenting’, ‘Raising secure Daughters and Confident Sons’ and ‘How to talk so kids will listen’ to 20 residents.

Peace-connect seniors activity centrePEACE-Connect Seniors Activity Centre (PCsac) is the community service arm of Holy Trinity Church, and is affiliated to Singapore Anglican Community Services.

Situated in the Kampong Glam constituency, PCsac aims to promote purposeful community life among the residents living in the HDB rental units by providing recreational/cognitive activities and elder support services, by encouraging volunteerism and self-help among the residents, by preventing social isolation of the vulnerable, and by improving the quality of life among the low-income group.

The designated cluster for our service model are made up of seniors residents (above 60 years) living in the HDB one-room/two-room rental units of Blocks 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 18 & 19. At present, units of only 5 blocks are installed with the Alert Alarm System, which is attended to by PCsac staff.

To date, PCsac has a data base of about 1600 residents, mostly from the service cluster. This data base has served well in cases of emergency. it is heartening that PCsac registers an average daily attendance of 320 Resident Users at the Centre. This is a great encouragement given that most seniors prefer to stay home or are averse to socializing. Thus, one of the major objectives, to immerse the seniors in community living, has been achieved to some visible extent at PCsac.

PEACE-Connect has come one big round from a Seniors Activity Centre (Shalom SAC 1995-2002) to a Neighbourhood Link (PCNL 2003-2010) and back to a Seniors Activity Centre (PCsac 2010-date). The healthy heartbeat of PCsac is that of an interactive hub, of an extended family and of a seniors help centre. The number of Resident Users at PCsac has grown steadily as the senior residents look forward to being a part of this vibrant community at the Centre, created by the seniors themselves; supported by generous benefactors and committed volunteers; managed by dedicated staff.

in the year 2012, the Centre saw a much wider circle of sponsors, partners and donors. During Lunar New year, generous benefactors generated 27 celebrative events for the needy and the old. We also continued to benefit from our churches and our schools within the Anglican Diocesan family. The visits of the SACH Mobile Clinic to the community were a welcome sight for the residents. in all ways, the seniors benefited tremendously from the Centre’s strengthened working bond with all the other community partners in Kampong Glam, the grassroots organisations and the relevant Government bodies.

Truly, we have much to be thankful for as Holy Trinity Church’s community service makes her 17th year mark in Kampong Glam. With God-given perseverance and wisdom, the Centre sees fruit today. Most Resident Users have co-operated with the Centre to help create an identity of an extended family at the Centre. With a loyal sense of belonging, there is now a strong element of trust among the senior users themselves and with the staff/volunteers.

And Jesus’ Name shall be praised.

city community services5th Anniversary

2012 was an exciting year for CiTy as we celebrated our 5thAnniversary. We held our first ever CiTy carnival – impact! A CiTy Games Carnival, where 490 children came together, for a whole day of games and fun. 140 volunteers helped us in the carnival and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Our guest of honour was RADM (RET) Kwek Siew Jin, President of the National Council of Social Service (NCSS).

We also had a fundraising golf event and thanksgiving dinner, a volunteers’ drive, road show at several churches,and closed the year with a Thanksgiving Service to God for His provision, guidance and presence.

A special edition of Heartprints, commemorating our 5th Anniversary with a report on our journey to date has been published.

Developments in 2012

Befrienders Clubs

We ended the year with 500 children in our 18 Befrienders Clubs in 17 government primary schools throughout Singapore. The schools are: Bukit View Primary, East Coast Primary, Eunos Primary, Fengshan Primary, Fuhua Primary, Gan Eng Seng Primary, Horizon Primary, Hougang Primary, Jurong West Primary, MacPherson Primary, Naval Base Primary, North View Primary, North Vista Primary, Seng Kang Primary, Townsville Primary, White Sands Primary, and Xishan Primary.

School-based Student Care

2012 was also the second year of student care services in our two centres – North View Primary School (Kidz Ark), and Townsville Pri-mary School (Happy Hearts). Our centres are now operating at maximum capacity. We closed the year with 200 students in 2 student care centres. Our good partnership with the principal and teachers in these two schools has enabled us to provide a nurturing environ-ment for these young children.

We added a third student care centre from 1 Jan 2013 at Opera Estate Primary School (Kids’ Nook).

Staff matters

in 2012, total staff strength in CiTy was 24 full-time and 4 part-time, of which 14 were in the Befrienders group (inclusive of 6 staff seconded from SAC/ACTS), and 14 in student care. We also had 2 Tributers from St Andrew’s Community Chapel and 1 from St Paul’s Church. From 2013, Jamie Choo will have a special brief on the development of the Befrienders Alumni.

2013

We will continue to improve our programmes for children and to keep them relevant to the children’s needs. it is a joy when we see young lives transformed. CiTy has been working with children long enough to see some graduate from Junior Colleges and Polytechnics. We continue with our Befrienders Alumni so that our young teenagers will still have friends to call upon, when in need.

CiTy was formed to build Character in the Young. This is very relevant and needed in today’s society. We want to thank you, our steady and faithful volunteers and our donors, for coming alongside us. As many volunteers have testified, the satisfaction and joy of giving a helping hand, a listening ear, cannot be measured. We are most grateful to our volunteers, Servers and Tributers who have worked alongside us in 2012. We would like to register our special thanks to:

st. andrew’s mission hosPitalAs the 9th Bishop of Singapore, i succeeded Bishop John Chew as the President of the St. Andrew’s Mission Hospital (SAMH) Board of Management. On behalf of the Board, i am pleased to report on the development and new initiatives of SAMH and its services, the St. Andrew’s Autism Centre (SAAC), St. Andrew’s Community Hospital (SACH) and St. Andrew’s Lifestreams (SAL) in 2012.

Our Services

Since moving into its purpose-built campus in end 2010, SAAC continues to scale up its operations and capabilities. its enrolment has risen to 170, out of whom 130 are students of the St. Andrew’s Autism School and 40 are Day Activity Centre clients. The Day Activity Centre (DAC) now offers four vocational tracks to its adult clients: office skills, horticulture, cafeteria operations and paper recycling, to help them obtain gainful employment.

SACH’s healthcare services are evolving to meet the demands of a rapidly aging population. in 2012, SACH partnered Changi General Hospital (CGH) to develop the integrated Building (iB) – the first medical facility in Singapore dedicated to optimise rehabilitation of patients recovering from injury, illness or surgery. The building’s construction is expected to be completed by end 2014.

in December, SACH launched an integrated Home Care Service (HCS) for home-bound patients living in the eastern Singapore, who require long-term clinical and nursing care. This home help facility expands SACH’s Home Care service operating out of the hospital, taking it into the heart of the community itself, with the establishment of the first office based at Kampong Arang. Care provided is holistic and integrated, weaving together community case management, home medical, home nursing and home therapy.

St. Andrew's Lifestreams (SAL) continues to provide support and training to professionals in the care and counselling sector. SAL also counsels youths, adults, couples and families. its counselling service are highly subsidised so that many are encouraged to access the services provided.

The full reports of our respective services are presented in the St. Andrew’s Mission Hospital 2012 Annual Report.

Major New Joint Initiative

in early 2012, we learnt that the Ministry of Health was calling for a tender to operate a psychiatric nursing home. Both SAMH and the Singapore Anglican Community Services (SACS) saw the opportunity to join hands in caring for people who need long-term psychiatric rehabilitative care. The psychiatric nursing home will complement our existing mental healthcare services as well as leverage on our existing expertise and services in community health and psychiatric rehabilitation of SAMH and SACS. MOH has accepted our proposal to operate a 300-bed psychiatric nursing home at the Buangkok Green Medical Park. Construction of the nursing home is expected to be ready in 2013

In Appreciation Of

We extend our deepest gratitude to all our supporters: individuals, corporations, business associations, philanthropic groups and foundations, and parishes for sharing in our mission of care. your advice, prayers and financial assistance have played an indispensable part in bringing to fruition the many service initiatives which meet the needs of the community.

We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to the various Government ministries and agencies for their guidance, advice, grants and additional funds which help in the development of our respective services.

The Board and the respective Management Committees would like to thank all the staff of SAMH, SAAC, SACH and SAL for your hard work and dedication, constantly putting in your best efforts, tirelessly tending to the heartfelt needs of the communities whom we serve. We would also like to commend our volunteers for your friendship and contributions to our respective services.

The Board would also like to put on record our deepest appreciation to Bishop John Chew for his dedicated service and gracious leadership as the President of SAMH for the past 12 years from 2000 to 2012. During the year, there were some additional changes to the Board. Mr. Tan Kian Woo, an accountant, joined the Board and took over the role as the Honorary Treasurer from Mr. Hamish Christie. Our gratitude goes to Mr. Christie who has served as the Honorary Treasurer since 2008. in May, we welcome onboard Dr. Arthur Chern, a Public Health Specialist and Healthcare Administrator, as the Group Chief Executive Officer of SAMH and SACS.

The work of St. Andrew's Mission Hospital is made possible only by the many supporters and staff who share our mission. We thank God for your participation in our work, and His guidance and provision to all the projects which we are involved in. May God bless you richly as you so bless us with your assistance and support, in service of God and our community.

the mission to seaFarersIntroduction

The Mission to Seafarers is a missionary society of the Anglican Church that provides for the social and spiritual needs of all seafarers regardless of race, creed or nationality. Currently the mission has a presence and operates in well over 250 ports around the world. Seafarers are reached through a network of chaplains, staff and volunteers.

in Singapore there are three such centers; The Seafarers’ Care Centre in Jurong Port operated by MTS, and under the auspices of The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, a combined Missions’ Centre operations at Keppel Gate (international Seafarers’ Drop-in Centre. A third drop-in center at Pasir Panjang terminal is manned and managed by SEACARE.

Our Vision is to be valued as God-directed leaders in caring for seafarers through our excellence, innovation, commitment and relevance in providing for seafarers' spiritual, social and practical welfare. The Singapore Branch of the Mission to Seafarers is dedicated to providing quality spiritual and practical care for seafarers through affordable and accessible facilities and through a highly trained and well equipped team of Chaplains and Volunteers. The Branch seeks to expand an awareness of the needs of seafarers, to foster civic and ecclesiastical responsibility in caring for them, to emphasize the role and responsibility of the maritime community as employers and to strengthen a sense of purpose in their seafaring careers.

The Mission relies solely on the generosity of benefactors to finance the work. We are therefore, more than indebted to our volunteers and donors who support us with dedication and generosity. in partnership with them we are able to provide an effective ministry to seafarers, whatever their nationalities who call at any of the ports of Singapore.

The following is my report of the Mission for the year concluded May 2012.

The Centre Manager and Operation Executive are responsible for the day to day operations and management of The Mission to Seafarers Care Centre in Jurong Port and for daily visitation of ships in Jurong Port as well as Pasir Panjang Terminal.

Volunteers

Management Committee: As a registered charity, The Mission relies on a dedicated team of volunteers to provide management functions for the Mission. Working in concert with the staff, the management committee meets a minimum of 4 times a year to:• providemanagementdirectionsanddecisionswhereappropriate/required• reviewthefinancesoftheMissionanditsactivitiesand• planactivities,includingfundraisingactivitiesfortheperiodahead.

in between these meetings, the port chaplain regularly conducts ad-hoc meetings and discussions with the chairman, vice chairman and secretary for matters arising in between the regular meetings which require their attention.

The current Management Committee members are:1. Capt. Lee Wai Pong (Chairman)2. Capt. Robert Walker (Vice Chairman)3. Mr. Andrew Tay (Hon Secretary)

Training and Development

The port chaplain was enrolled in the following courses for 2012:

1. May 21- Nov 4: Clinical Pastoral Education

Fund Raising Events and Donations

During the year under review the following fund raising activities were held:

1. Annual Sea Sunday Appeal – amount collected $40,293.402. Fund Raising Golf Tournament at Keppel Club in August- netted a total of $51,905.093. Donations received from Anglican churches amounted to $33,668.954. Donations from individuals and Maritime industry- $22,748.805. Other sources- $12,129.34

On top of donations, the Mission also receives an annual grant of S$40,000 from the Maritime Port Authority.

MTS(Singapore) is very reliant and dependent on the funds and donations raised and received through churches and the grant from the Maritime Port Authority. We appeal to you to continue to support us in this very important ministry in the maritime industry.

Changes in the Leadership

During the year we witnessed sadly the passing away of the Secretary General, the late Revd Tom Heffer. in his place, Mr Martin Sanford was appointed as Acting Secretary General and in November a new Secretary General was appointed in the person of Revd Andrew Wright.

in November the Acting Sec General Martin Sanford and the Director of Welfare and Justice Canon Ken Peters were in Singapore to brief the MtS team on the changes and they were also given an overview of the welfare based work done by the Maritime Port Authority.

Highlights of Ministry

During the year we have been called upon to care for seafarers who had been traumatized by death at sea and have counseled many seafarers. One particular incident that stands out would be our involvement to counsel, pray and care for 18 crew who were called to rescue 40 male asylum seekers standing atop an overturned fishing boat off Christmas island. They were seriously traumatized by the scene of bodies amidst floating debris as they made their way to the accident location. They had also risked their lives when they lowered themselves to the waters in the high seas to rescue the stranded refugees. What made matters worse was when the refugees recovered they started to harass and threaten the crew. We also were called to intervene in justice matters whereby seafarers were not paid their allowances or wages.

Seafarers endure long periods of loneliness and isolation as they spend months away from their homes and families. At sea they are completely cut off from all that we take for granted and in port they are always visitors. They can often face many other difficulties including unsafe conditions, non-payment of wages or being left stranded without food or money. While the majority of seafarers work in good conditions on well maintained vessels, even on the best ships they can be anxious of their family, suffer bereavement, feel homesick or need spiritual or practical support.

in Singapore we have a Central Office in Telok Blangah House and a Seafarers’ Care Centre in Jurong Port which currently receives just over 300 seafarers a month. We also support the international Seafarers’ Drop-in Centre at Keppel Gate which is visited by more than 350 seafarers a month. At all these venues seafarers receive a friendly welcome and are able to use internet and telephone facilities to contact their families and friends, be in an environment that is conducive enough to be ä home away from home.” in this way we shrink the “separation gap” between them and their loved ones.

We currently visit just about 170 ships a month in order to interact with seafarers who spend most of their time at sea and are not always able to go ashore to enjoy hospitality or to find someone with whom they can share a problem.

As an Anglican Missionary agency whose only income is from donations and grants we rely on the generosity of donors to sustain our ministry. We are deeply grateful to the Diocese of Singapore and the Parishes who have untiringly supported the mission. At present we need to raise over SGD$280,000.00 a year to finance our ministry to seafarers. This is a great challenge, but we gladly accept it in faith, knowing that God is truly our faithful Provider.

Conclusion

Seafarers continue to face with issues such as the piracy, abandonment, non-payment of wages, shore leave denial, shipwreck, isolation and separation from families. Please do continue to pray and support the ministry. We thank God for giving us an opportunity to care for seafarers who do their work in the midst of harsh and challenging conditions.

Independent Auditors’ Report to the Members ofSingapore Anglican Community Services(Registered in Singapore under the Charities Act, Cap 37 and Societies Act, Cap 311)(Unique Entity Number: S75SS0005H)

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Singapore Anglican Community Services (the “Society”), which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2012, and the statement of financial activities, statement of changes in accumulated funds and statement of cash flows for the reporting year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the provisions of the Charities Act, Cap 37, the Societies Act, Cap. 311 and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards, and for devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide a reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; and transactions are properly authorised and that they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of true and fair statement of financial activities and statement of financial position and to maintain accountability of assets.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. in making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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 entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

in our opinion, the accompanying financial statements are properly drawn up in accordance with the provision of the Charities Act, Cap. 37, the Societies Act, Cap. 311 and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards so as to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Society as at 31 December 2012 and of the results, changes in accumulated funds and cash flows of the Society for the reporting year ended on that date.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

in our opinion,

(a) the accounting and other records required by the above regulations to be kept by the Society have been properly kept in accordance with those regulations; and

(b) the fund-raising appeals held during the reporting year ended 31 December 2012 have been carried out in accordance with Regulation 6 of the Societies Regulation issued under the Societies Act and proper accounts and other records have been kept of the fund-raising appeals.

(a) The Society did not comply with the requirements of Regulation 15(1) of the Charities Act, Cap 37 (institutions of Public Character) Regulations 2007 which states that the total fund-raising and sponsorship expenses of the Society should not exceed 30% of the total gross receipts from fund-raising and sponsorship for the period; and

(b) the use of donation money received is not in accordance with the Society’s objectives.

Notes to the Financial Statements31 December 2012

1. General

The Singapore Anglican Community Services (“SACS” or the “Society”) is registered in Singapore on 24 June 1975 under the Societies Act, Cap 311. The Society is also a charity registered under the Charities Act, Cap 37 and is an approved institution of public character under the Singapore Income Tax Act, Cap 134. The financial statements are presented in Singapore dollars.

The principal activities of Society consist of rendering welfare services and community care.

The financial statements include the state of affairs and the results of the society and the following centres:1) Simei Care Centre (“SCC”)2) Hougang Care Centre (“HCC”)3) Family Care Centre (“FCC”)4) Employment Support Services (“ESS”)5) Community Rehabilitation and Support Services (“CRSS”) – Bukit Batok6) Community Rehabilitation and Support Services (“CRSS”) – Pasir Ris7) Community Rehabilitation and Support Services (“CRSS”) – Yishun8) City Community services (“CITY”)9) Peace-Connect (“PCNL”)

The financial statements of the Society for the reporting year ended 31 December 2012 are authorised for issuance by the Board on the date of the statement by the Board.

The registered office address is: 10 Simei Street 3, Singapore 529897. The society is situated in Singapore.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting Convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (“FRS”) as well as all related Interpretation to FRS (“INT FRS”) as issued by the Singapore Accounting Standards Council. The Society is also subject to the provisions of the Charities Act, Cap. 37. The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention except where an FRS require an alternative treatment (such as fair values) as disclosed where appropriate in these financial statements.

Basis of Preparation of the Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Apart from those involving estimations, management has made judgements in the process of applying the society’s accounting policies. The areas requiring management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgements,or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed at the end of this footnote, where applicable.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)

Income Recognition

Income including donations, gifts and grants that provide core funding or are of general nature are recognised where there is (a) entitlement (b) certainty and (c) sufficient reliability of measurement. Such income is only deferred when: the donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or the donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the Society has unconditional entitlement.

(a) Grants

Grants to cover a particular expenditure or programme are accounted for as incoming resources upon receipt of notification of the grant award, which normally coincides with the year when the related expenses, for which the grant is intended to cover, are incurred. The corresponding asset (grants receivable account) is also recognised then. Grants received from Ministry of Health (“MOH”) and National Council of Social Services (“NCSS”) for the purchase of depreciable assets and refurbishment for centres are taken to the deferred capital grants account. The deferred grants are recognised in the statement of financial activities over the years necessary to match the depreciation of assets to which the grants relate. A government grant is recognised at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the conditions attaching to it will be complied with and that the grant will be received. Grants and government subvention receipts in recognition of specific expenses are recognised as income to match them with the related costs that they are intended to compensate.

Under the conditions of grant received, over or under funding from National Council of Social Services (“NCSS”) and Ministry of Health (“MOH”) are refundable to or from NCSS and MOH.

(b) Donation and corporate sponsorship

Income from donation and corporate sponsorships are accounted for when received, except for committed donations and corporate sponsorship that are recorded when the commitments are signed.

(c) Rendering of service

Rendering of services are of short duration and is recognised when the services are completed.

(d) Fund raising

Income from special event is recognised when the event takes place.

(e) Other income

Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest rate that takes into account the effective yield on the asset. Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholder's right to receive the dividend is legally established.

Gifts In Kind

A gift in kind is included in the statement of financial activities based on an estimate of the fair value at the date of the receipt of the gift of the non-monetary asset or the grant of a right to the monetary asset. The gift is recognised if the amount of the gift can be measured reliably and there is no uncertainty that it will be received.

30


13


Employee Benefits

Contributions to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recorded as an expense as they fall due. The society's legal or constructive obligation is limited to the amount that it agrees to contribute to an independently administered fund which is the Central Provident Fund in Singapore (a government managed retirement benefit plan). For employee leave entitlement the expected cost of short-term employee benefits in the form of compensated absences is recognised in the case of accumulating compensated absences, when the employees render service that increases their entitlement to future compensated absences; and in the case of non-accumulating compensated absences, when the absences occur. Aliability for bonuses is recognised where the society is contractually obliged or where there is constructive obligation based on past practice.

Income Tax

As a charity, the Society is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within section 13U(1) of the Income Tax Act to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects. No tax charges have arisen for the Society during the reporting year.

Foreign Currency Transactions

The functional currency is the Singapore dollar as it reflects the primary economic environment in which the society operates. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in the functional currency at the rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. At each end of the reporting year, recorded monetary balances and balances measured at fair value that are denominated in non-functional currencies are reported at the rates ruling at the end of the reporting year and fair value dates respectively. All realised and unrealised exchange adjustment gains and losses are dealt with in profit or loss except when recognised in other comprehensive income and if applicable deferred in funds such as for qualifying cash flow hedges. The presentation is in the functional currency.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis to allocate the gross carrying amounts of the assets less their residual values over their estimated useful lives of each part of an item of these assets. The annual rates of depreciation are as follows:

Renovation - 3 to 5 yearsFurniture and fittings, computers and office equipment - 3 to 5 yearsMotor vehicles - 5 yearsBuilding - 30 years

An asset is depreciated when it is available for use until it is derecognised even if during that period the item is idle. Fully depreciated assets still in use are retained in the financial statements.

Property, Plant and Equipment (Cont’d)

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost on initial recognition and after initial recognition at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item and is recognised in profit or loss. The residual value and the useful life of an asset is reviewed at least at each end of the reporting year and, if expectations differ significantly from previous estimates, the changes are accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate, and the depreciation charge for the current and future periods are adjusted.

Cost also includes acquisition cost, borrowing cost capitalised and any cost directly attributable to bringing the asset or component to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Subsequent costs are recognised as an asset only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss when they are incurred.

Leased Assets

Whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease, it is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception date, that is, whether (a) fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets (the asset); and (b) the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. Leases are classified as finance leases if substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. At the commencement of the lease term, a finance lease is recognised as an asset and as a liability in the statement of financial position at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased asset or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease. The discount rate used in calculating the present value of the minimum lease payments is the interest rate implicit in the lease, if this is practicable to determine, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used. Any initial direct costs of the lessee are added to the amount recognised as an asset. The excess of the lease payments over the recorded lease liability are treated as finance charges which are allocated to each reporting year during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Contingent rents are charged as expenses in the reporting years in which they are incurred. The assets are depreciated as owned depreciable assets. Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased assets are classified as operating leases. For operating leases, lease payments are recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the user's benefit, even if the payments are not on that basis. Lease incentives received are recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the total lease expense.

Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

Irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment, an annual impairment test is performed at the same time every year on an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life or an intangible asset not yet available for use. The carrying amount of other non-financial assets is reviewed at each end of the reporting year for indications of impairment and where an asset is impaired, it is written down through profit or loss to its estimated recoverable amount. The impairment loss is the excess of the carrying amount over the recoverable amount and is recognised in profit or loss. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. When the fair value less costs to sell method is used, any available recent market transactions are taken into consideration. When the value in use method is adopted, in assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). At each end of the reporting year non-financial assets other than goodwill with impairment loss recognised in prior periods are assessed for possible reversal of the impairment. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

Financial Assets

Initial recognition, measurement and derecognition:

A financial asset is recognised on the statement of financial position when, and only when, the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The initial recognition of financial assets is at fair value normally represented by the transaction price. The transaction price for financial asset not classified at fair value through profit or loss includes the transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset. Transaction costs incurred on the acquisition or issue of financial assets classified at fair value through profit or loss are expensed immediately. The transactions are recorded at the trade date.

Irrespective of the legal form of the transactions performed, financial assets are derecognised when they pass the “substance over form” based on the derecognition test prescribed by FRS 39 relating to the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership and the transfer of control.

Subsequent measurement:

Subsequent measurement based on the classification of the financial assets in one of the following four categories under FRS 39 is as follows.

1. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: As at the end of the reporting year, there were no financial assets classified in this category.

16


Financial Assets (Cont’d)

2. Loans and receivables: Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Assets that are for sale immediately or in the near term are not classified in this category. These assets are carried at amortised costs using the effective interest method (except that short-duration receivables with no stated interest rate are normally measured at original invoice amount unless the effect of imputing interest would be significant) minus any reduction (directly or through the use of an allowance account) for impairment or uncollectibility. Impairment charges are provided only when there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. The methodology ensures that an impairment loss is not recognised on the initial recognition of an asset. Losses expected as a result of future events, no matter how likely, are not recognised. For impairment, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced through use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss. An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be relatedobjectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. Typically the trade and other receivables are classified in this category.

3. Held-to-maturity financial assets: As at the end of the reporting year, there were no financial assets classified in this category.

4. Available-for-sale financial assets: These are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale on initial recognition or are not classified in one of the previous categories. These assets are carried at fair value by reference to the transaction price or current bid prices in an active market. If such market prices are not reliably determinable, management establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. Changes in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets (other than those relating to foreign exchange translation differences on monetary investments)are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate component of equity under the heading revaluation reserves. Such reserves are reclassified to profit or loss when realised through disposal. Impairments below cost are recognised in profit or loss. When there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, the cumulative loss is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of an equity instrument classified as available-for-sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss, it is reversed against revaluation reserves and is not subsequently reversed through profit or loss. However for debt instruments classified as available-for-sale impairment losses recognised in profit or loss are subsequently reversed if an increase in the fair value of the instrument can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss. The weighted average method is used when determining the cost basis of publicly listed equities being disposed of. For non-equity instruments classified as available-for-sale the reversal of impairment is recognised in profit or loss. These financial assets are classified as non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investments within 12 months of the end of the reportingyear. Usually non-current investments in equity shares and debt securities are classified in this category but it does not include subsidiaries, joint ventures, or associates. Unquoted investments are stated at cost less allowance for impairment in value where there are no market prices, and management is unable to establish fair value by using valuation techniques except that where management can establish fair value by using valuation techniques the relevant unquoted investments are stated at fair value. For unquoted equity instruments impairment losses are not reversed.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include bank and cash balances, on demand deposits and any highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. For the statement of cash flows the item includes cash and cash equivalents less cash subject to restriction and bank overdrafts payable on demand that form an integral part of cash management.

Financial Liabilities

Initial recognition, measurement and derecognition:

A financial liability is recognised on the statement of financial position when, and only when, the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and it is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. The initial recognition of financial liability is at fair value normally represented by the transaction price. The transaction price for financial liability not classified at fair value through profit or loss includes the transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial liability. Transaction costs incurred on the acquisition or issue of financial liability classified at fair value through profit or loss are expensed immediately. The transactions are recorded at the trade date. Financial liabilities including bank and other borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting year.

Subsequent measurement:

Subsequent measurement based on the classification of the financial liabilities in one of the following two categories under FRS 39 is as follows:

1. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss: Liabilities are classified in this category when they are incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term (trading liabilities) or are derivatives (except for a derivative that is a designated and effective hedging instrument) or have been classified in this category because the conditions are met to use the “fair value option” and it is used. Financial guarantee contracts if significant are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently measured at the greater of (a) the amount determined in accordance with FRS 37 and (b) the amount initially recognised less, where appropriate, cumulative amortisation recognised in accordance with FRS 18. All changes in fair value relating to liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are charged to profit or loss as incurred.

2. Other financial liabilities: All liabilities, which have not been classified as in the previous category fall into this residual category. These liabilities are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Trade and other payables and borrowings are usually classified in this category. Items classified within current trade and other payables are not usually re-measured, as the obligation is usually known with a high degree of certainty and settlement is short-term.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of current financial instruments approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments and the disclosures of fair value are not made when the carrying amount of current financial instruments is a reasonable approximation of the fair value. The fair values of non-current financial instruments may not be disclosed separately unless there are significant differences at the end of the reporting year and in the event the fair values are disclosed in the relevant notes. The fair value of a financial instrument is derived from an active market or by using an acceptable valuation technique. The appropriate quoted market price for an asset held or liability to be issued is usually the current bid price without any deduction for transaction costs that may be incurred on sale or other disposal and, for an asset to be acquired or liability held, the asking price. If there is no market, or the markets available are not active, the fair value is established by using an acceptable valuation technique. The fair value measurements are classified using a fair value hierarchy of 3 levels that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements, that is, Level 1 for the use of quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 for the use of inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and Level 3 for the use of inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The level is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Where observable inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, that measurement is a Level 3 measurement. The maximum exposure to credit risk is: the total of the fair value of the financial assets; the maximum amount the entity could have to pay if the guarantee is called on; and the full amount of any payable commitments at the end of the reporting year.

Funds

Fund balances restricted by outside sources are so indicated and are distinguished from unrestricted funds allocated to specific purposes if any by action of the Board. Externally restricted funds may only be utilised in accordance with the purposes established by the source of such funds or through the terms of an appeal and are in contrast with unrestricted funds over which the Board retains full control to use in achieving any of its institutional purposes. An expense resulting from the operating activities of a fund that is directly attributable to the fund is charged to that fund. Common expenses if any are allocated on a reasonable basis to the funds based on a method most suitable to that common expense.

Monies received where the Society is not the owner and beneficiary is accounted for as designated fund. The receipts and payments in respect of designated funds are taken directly to the statement of financial activities and the net assets relating to these funds are shown as separate line in the statement of financial position.

Provisions

A liability or provision is recognised when there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are made using best estimates of the amount required in settlement and where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount recognised is the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense. Changes in estimates are reflected in profit or loss in the reporting year they occur.


36


19


Government Grants

A government grant is recognised at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the conditions attaching to it will be complied with and that the grant will be received. A grant in recognition of specific expenses is recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs that they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis. Agrant related to depreciable assets is allocated to income over the period in which such assets are used in the project subsidised by the grant. A government grant related to assets, including non-monetary grants at fair value, is presented in the statement of financial position by setting up the grant as deferred income in funds. The interest saved from government loans is regarded as additional government grant.

Critical Judgements, Assumptions and Estimation Uncertainties

The critical judgements made in the process of applying the accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements and the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting year, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting year are discussed below. These estimates and assumptions are periodically monitored to ensure they incorporate all relevant information available at the date when financial statements are prepared. However, this does not prevent actual figures differing from estimates.

Allowances for Doubtful Receivables:An allowance is made for doubtful receivables for estimated losses resulting from the subsequent inability of the clients to make required payments. If the financial conditions of the clients were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required in future periods. Management generally analyses individual receivables, client’s financial condition and historical bad debts when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful receivables. In cases where that process is not feasible, a collective evaluation of impairment is performed. At the end of the reporting year, the trade receivables carrying amount approximates the fair value and the carrying amounts might change materially within the next reporting year but these changes would not arise from assumptions or other sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting year.

3. Related Party Relationships and Transactions

FRS 24 defines a related party as a person or entity that is related to the reporting entity and it includes (a) A person or a close member of that person’s family if that person: (i) has control or joint control over the reporting entity; (ii) has significant influence over the reporting entity; or (iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the reporting entity or of a parent of the reporting entity. (b) An entity is related to the reporting entity if any of the following conditions apply: (i) The entity and the reporting entity are members of the same group. (ii) One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity. (iii) Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party. (iv) One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity. (v) The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the reporting entity or an entity related to the reporting entity. (vi) The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a). (vii) A person identified in (a) (i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).

18A. Classification of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The following table summarises the carrying amount of financial assets and liabilities recorded at the end of the reporting year by FRS 39 categories:

2012$

2011$

Financial assets:Cash and cash equivalents 4,190,645 3,372,594Available for-sale-financial assets 1,490,336 1,402,866Loans and receivables 1,765,542 778,196At end of the year 7,446,523 5,553,656Financial liabilities:Trade and other payables measured at amortised cost 1,412,058 1,364,885At end of the year 1,412,058 1,364,885

Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these financial statements.

18B. Financial Risk Management

The main purpose for holding or issuing financial instruments is to raise and manage the finances for the entity’s operating, investing and financing activities. There are exposures to the financial risks on the financial instruments such as credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk comprising interest rate, currency risk and price risk exposures. Management has certain practices for the management of financial risks. However these are not documented in formal written documents. The following guidelines are followed: All financial risk management activities are carried out and monitored by senior management staff. All financial risk management activities are carried out following good market practices.

There have been no changes to the exposures to risk; the objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk and the methods used to measure the risk.

18C. Fair Values of Financial Instruments

18C.1. Fair value of financial instruments stated at amortised cost in the statement of financial position

The financial assets and financial liabilities at amortised cost are at a carrying amount that is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

18C.2. Fair value measurements recognised in the statement of financial position Level 1.

The fair value measurements are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The levels are: Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and Level 3 inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The quantitative disclosures for the fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements are disclosed below:

At 31 December 2011:Available-for-sale financial assets:

Quoted equity shares in corporations 165,440Quoted bonds in corporations 1,040,393Total 1,205,833

18D. Credit Risk on Financial Assets

Financial assets that are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk and failures by counterparties to discharge their obligations in full or in a timely manner consist principally of cash balances with banks, cash equivalents and receivables, and other financial assets. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the fair value of the financial instruments at the end of the year. Credit risk on cash balances with banks and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counter-parties are banks with acceptable credit ratings. For credit risk on receivables an ongoing credit evaluation is performed of the counter-parties’ financial condition and a loss from impairment is recognised in the statement of financial activities.There is no significant concentration of credit risk, as the exposure is spread over a large number of counter-parties and customers. The Society has policies in place to ensure that credit risk is mitigated.

As is disclosed in Note 13 cash and cash equivalents balances represent short term deposits.

As part of the process of setting customer credit limits, different credit terms are used. The average credit period generally granted to trade receivable customers is about 30 days (2011:30 days). But some clients take a longer period to settle the amounts.

(a) Ageing analysis of the age of trade receivable amounts that are past due as at the end of reporting year but not impaired:

2012$

2011$

Trade receivables:Less that 60 days 104,589 151,45961 to 90 days 33,073 26,639Over 90 days 81,384 130,265Total 219,046 308,363

18D. Credit Risk on Financial Assets (Cont’d)

(b) Ageing analysis as at the end of reporting year of trade receivable amounts that are impaired:

2012$

2011$

Trade receivables:91 to 180 days 3,484 6,380Over 180 days 83,469 131,178Total 86,953 137,558

The allowance which is disclosed in the Note 11 on trade receivables is based on individual accounts totalling $86,953 (2011: $137,558) that are determined to be impaired at the end of reporting year. These are not secured.

18E. Liquidity risk

The liquidity risk refers to the difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. It is expected that all the liabilities will be paid at their contractual maturity. The average credit period taken to settle trade payables is about 30 days (2011: 30 days). The other payables are with short-term durations. The classification of the financial assets is shown in the statement of financial position as they may be available to meet liquidity needs and no further analysis is deemed necessary.

The Society has sufficient cash balances to support cash commitments from their existing liabilities. Accordingly, the Society utilised minimum banking facilities.

18F. Interest Rate Risk

The interest rate risk exposure is mainly from changes in fixed rate and floating interest rates. The following table analyses the breakdown of the significant financial instruments by type of interest rate:

2012$

2011$

Financial assets:Fixed rates 2,562,677 2,398,816

Sensitivity analysis: The effect on pre-tax profit is not significant.

18G. Foreign Currency Risk

The Society has insignificant exposure to foreign currency risk.

47


30


18H. Equity Price Risk

The Society has investments in quoted equity shares and quoted bonds. As at the end of the reporting year, some equity shares and bonds were held in companies listed on stock exchanges including Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Ltd.. As a result, such investments are exposed to changes in fair value risk. The fair values of those assets as at the end of the reporting year are disclosed in Note 10.

2012$

2011$

Sensitivity Analysis:A hypothetical 10% increase in the fair value of those quoted equity shares would have an effect on surplus of 20,558 16,544A hypothetical 10% increase in the fair value of those quotedbonds would have an effect on surplus of 119,592 104,039

For similar price decreases in the fair value of the above financial assets, there would be comparable impacts in the opposite direction on the reserves.

This figure does not reflect the currency risk, which has been considered in the foreign currency risks analysis section only. The hypothetical changes in basis points are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

19. Goods and Services Tax

In the previous reporting year, the Society had sought clarification from the Comptroller of Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) whether certain incidental activities of the Society would fall under the definition of business activities and hence constituted taxable supplies for purposes of GST registration. As the outcome of the matter was not certain then, the 2011 financial statements did not reflect any adjustments relating to the assessment.

On 14 June 2012, the Comptroller of GST assessed the Society as a GST registrant, and deemed that the Society’s GST registration was to be backdated to 1 March 2008. As a result of this assessment, the Society recognised the backdated GST payable for the period from 1March 2008 to 31 March 2012 amounting to $223,969. The backdated GST expense has been accounted in the Statement of Financial Activities for the current reporting year.

20. Columnar Presentation of Statement of Financial Position

Other than property and other financial assets, a large majority of the assets and liabilities are attributable to the accumulated funds. Accordingly the Society did not adopt a columnar presentation of its assets, liabilities and funds in the Statement of Financial Position as it was not meaningful.

21. Operating Lease Payment Commitments

At the end of the reporting year the total of future minimum lease payment commitments under non-cancellable operating leases are as follows:

2012$

2011$

Not later than one year 1,449,582 1,536,502Later than one year and not later than five years 548,004 1,248,052

1,997,586 2,784,554

Rental expense for the year 1,700,595 1,697,451

Operating lease payments are for rentals payable for certain centres and plant and equipment. The lease rental terms are negotiated for an average term of three years.

22. Changes and Adoption of Financial Reporting Standards

For the reporting year ended 31 December 2012 the following new or revised Singapore Financial Reporting Standards were adopted. The new or revised standards did not require any modification of the measurement methods or the presentation in the financial statements.

reserve and investMent PoliCY

1. PURPOSE

The purpose of this paper is to specify the reserve and investment guidelines of Singapore Anglican Community Services (SACS). it provides a framework to ensure that funds are prudently managed and adequate liquidity is maintained. These guidelines are binding on affiliated community service organisations (ACSOs).

2. RESERVES

The investable fund in the investment account is to cover the reserve requirement.

SACS maintain reserves at a level sufficient for its operating needs. The SACS Board reviews the level of reserves regularly for day to day operations, and its continuing obligations.

3. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES

Given SACS’s status as a voluntary welfare organisation (VWO) funded by government subvention and church and public donation, the primary consideration in the management of funds is the preservation of value in real terms. Hence our investment objective is to offset asset erosion due to inflation.

4. INVESTMENT POLICY GUIDELINES

4.1 Funds For Day-To-Day Operations

70% of SACS income comes from government funding. The remaining 30% comes from donations, client revenue and enterprise income and fluctuates with the state of the economy. Such income fluctuations can have a significant impact on our ability to fully cover expenditure.

in order to fund day-to-day operations and provide a buffer against fluctuations in monthly income, SACS will set aside a minimum of 3 months of operating expenses in cash and cash equivalent (Operating Cash). Operating Cash is to be kept as petty cash, and deposits including current account, savings account and fixed term deposits. Current and savings accounts may only be held with commercial banks while fixed term deposits may only be placed with commercial banks and Hong Leong Finance Ltd.

Operating Cash must be held in Singapore Dollars.

4.2 investible Fund

Funds available over and above Operating Cash (investible Fund) will be invested. The investible Fund may be managed by a Fund Manager on behalf of SACS. Funds may only be invested in Singapore Dollar denominated investments in one or more of the following classes of investment:

• Short-termdeposits• Negotiablecertificatesofdeposit• Commercial/Bankbills• Treasurybills• Shorttermnotesandbonds

o The minimum credit rating for any bond issue is Baa3 by Moody’s or BBB- by Standard & Poor’s. Where the bond issue is unrated by the rating agencies, the Fund Manager’s internal credit rating of BBB- will apply.o investments in bonds denominated in foreign currencies are allowed provided the foreign currency exposure is hedged back to SGD.

70

• UnitTrusts o Limited to fixed income unit trusts

No more than S$ 250,000 is to be invested in a single entity.

The investment products must have good liquidity; defined as the ability for the investment products to be sold and proceeds to be received within 30 days.

4.3 Other investments

SACS may, through the generosity of donors, receive donations or gifts in the form of shares or foreign currency-denominated cash, bonds or other securities. Under such circumstances, SACS should• SellorencashintoSGDsuchshareswithin12monthsofreceivingtitle,unlessotherwiseinstructedby

5. REVIEW PERIOD

This policy will be reviewed as and when required and amended as necessary.

71

ConfliCt of interest PoliCYThe conflict of interest policy and declaration form will be read by the board member upon hiring, appointment or

election to the board as an acknowledgement of having understood the policy and that he/she will fully disclose to

the Board when a conflict of interest situation arises. Such conflict of interests situations include but not limited

to the following:

CONFLICT OF INTEREST SITUATIONS

a) Contract with vendors

Where board/committee members, staff or volunteers have personal interest in business transactions or contracts that Singapore Anglican Community Services (SACS) may enter into, there should be a policy requiring a declaration of such interest as soon as possible followed by abstention from discussion and decision-making on the matter (including voting on the transaction or contract). All such discussion and evaluation by the board or relevant approving authority in arriving at the final decision on the transaction/contract should always be well documented.

b) Vested interest in other organisations that have dealings/relationship with SACS

Where board/committee members, staff or volunteers who have vested interest in other organisations that have dealings/relationship with SACS, and when matters involving the interests of both SACS and the other organisation are discussed, there should be a policy requiring a declaration of such interest and if necessary, followed by abstention from discussion and decision-making on such matters.

c) Joint Ventures

The board’s approval should be sought before the SACS enters into any joint venture with external parties. Where board/committee members, staff or volunteers have interest in such ventures, there should be a policy requiring a declaration of such interest and if necessary, followed by abstention from discussion and decision-making on the matter.

d) Recruitment of staff with close relationship

Recruitment of staff with close relationship (i.e. those who are more than just mere acquaintances) with current board/committee members, staff or volunteers should go through the established human resource procedures for recruitment. The board member, staff or volunteer should make a declaration of such relationships and should refrain from influencing decision on the recruitment.

e) Remuneration

Board members and volunteers should serve without remuneration for their voluntary service to SACS so as to maintain the integrity of serving for public trust and community good instead of personal gain. However, SACS may reimburse board members or volunteers for out-of-pocket expenses directly related to the service.

f) Paid staff on board

Paid staff, including the executive head and senior staff employed by the SACS, should not serve as a member of the board as it can pose issues of conflict of interest and role conflicts, and may raise doubts on the integrity of board decisions. The executive head and senior staff can attend board meetings, ex-officio, to provide information and facilitate necessary discussion but should not take part in the decision-making of the board.

g) Major donors / representatives from major donor companies being on the SACS’s board.

Potentially conflicting situations may arise where a major donor sits on SACS’s board, such as the following:

• Conflictofloyalty:Board member may not have the overall best interests of the charity due to their vested interests! priorities. This may influence decisions relating to allocation of resources/ setting the organisation’s directions. (There may be particular programme areas board member is vested in and is biased towards.)

72

• Useofinformationtoinfluencedonordecisions:information accessible to board members may be used to influence donors decision on allocations or the corporation they represent. This may result in staff not highlighting certain issues for fear that the donation may be affected. issues of transparency and disclosure can arise.

• Pressuretoreleaseadditionalinformationtodonor:Board member may expect additional information from staff on how donations were used and the details of users

• Personalbenefit/gain/recognition:The board member may expect greater recognition for financial support given, than is usually done. Staff may feel beholden to this board member in case the donor relationship is threatened.
