NCPC Annual Report 10/11
Chairman's Message04
Crime situation in 2010Overall Crime reported fell by 0.6% (or 200 cases fewer), from 33,186 cases
in 2009 to 32,986 cases in 2010.
National Level Initiatives2010/2011 has been a very exciting year for the NCPC. In addition to the perennial
programmes that reach out to all sectors of the society to embrace crime
prevention, the NCPC has raised the bar with several national level initiatives to
engage the community and our partners on relevant issues.
As the world, including Singapore, got enraptured in the World Cup
phenomenon during the June/July period of 2010, the NCPC launched
an educational campaign against illegal betting. Posters and football
paraphernalia with messages on what is illegal betting and the penalties
involved were produced and disseminated at places where regular punters
frequent, such as coffeshops and pubs. With the support of the Singapore Pools,
we were also able to communicate our anti-illegal betting messages through
TV commercials during live football matches.
Another current issue close to the heart of Singaporeans is loan shark
harassment. In August 2010, the NCPC launched the “X-Ah-Long” hotline for
the community to call and give information on loan sharks, while remaining
anonymous. We are pleased that this year long trial has generated much
community interest, with over 800 callers since its inception.
Besides engaging the community, the NCPC works closely with our industry
partners. The NCPC, together with the Police, reaches out to organisations such
as the Singapore Hotel Association, the Singapore Contractors Association
Limited, and the Singapore Jewellers Association, to encourage industry best
practices on crime prevention.
CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
I am confident that our crime prevention efforts will continue to contribute to a safe and secure environment for all Singaporeans.

Chairman's Message 05
Pro-Active SolutionsThe NCPC is always looking at different ways to stop preventable crimes.
Noting the increase in the cycling community in Singapore, the NCPC launched
the bicycle security labels in March 2011 to proactively tackle the problem of
bicycle thefts.
The labels, jointly produced by the Singapore Police Force and the NCPC,
are given out for free to the bicycle owners and carry a unique set of
identity numbers; making it harder for thieves to use stolen bikes openly.
Another NCPC innovation is Cyberonia, a virtual world game to engage kids
in self-directed learning through play. Through this game, they learn about
cyber wellness, cyber safety and cyber security.
Our Cyberonia project was truly a multi-agency effort involving our partners
from various government bodies and statutory boards such as Infocomm
Development Authority (IDA), Ministry Of Education (MOE), Singapore Police
Force (SPF), Media Development Authority (MDA), as well as the industry
such as the Singapore Cybersports and Online Gaming Association (SCOGA),
the Law Society and Touch Community. All of them came together to contribute
invaluable resources and expertise.
Going ForwardThere are many other crime prevention programmes we are embarking on.
We are replicating our successful Crime Prevention Ambassadors programme
to similar working models for our youth and foreign workers, and revamping
our website to better engage the young and digitally inclined.
To commemorate NCPC’s 30th Anniversary in 2011, we are already busy with
preparations for a 30th Anniversary book, an International Crime Prevention
Conference and a fundraising gala dinner.
It has been another fulfilling year for all of us at the NCPC; thanks to the strong
support from the community, our partners and sponsors. I am confident that
our crime prevention efforts will continue to contribute to a safe and secure
environment for all Singaporeans.

Inculcating Our Young06
Cyber Safety Virtual Park – CyberoniaLaunched on 8 April 2011 by Mr Masagos Zulkifli, Minister of State, Ministry
of Education and Ministry of Home Affairs, Cyberonia is an innovative virtual
world game aimed at educating students on various aspects of Cyber Wellness.
Students can play and explore in this virtual park as they learn about online
security, legalities gaming addiction, how to deal with inappropriate content
and measure to ensure their own personal safety and well-being.
This multi-agency project was spearheaded by the NCPC after a 2008 research
study commissioned by NCPC found that although youths were very savvy with
the usage of computers, their awareness of safe and responsible online practices
was very low. The NCPC then formed a committee comprising agencies with the
insights, experience and resources to tackle the many issues of cyber wellness.
The agencies include the Infocomm Development Authority (IDA), Ministry Of
Education (MOE), Singapore Police Force (SPF), Media Development Authority
(MDA), Singapore Cybersports and Online Gaming Association (SCOGA), Touch
Community and the Law Society. Cyberonia was the product of this committee
and would be rolled out to all primary schools in Singapore.
NCPC’s objective is to instill the importance of staying away and protecting themselves from crime. We work in close consultation with other youth NGOs and government committees like the National Committee on Youth Guidance and Rehabilitation as well as the Police to fine tune our programmes.
INCULCATING OUR YOUNG
NCPC Annual Report 10/11
Inculcating Our Young 07
Crime Prevention Assembly Show (CPAS) for Primary School StudentsCPAS received rave response from students and the teachers’ endorsement as an effective platform to impart crime
prevention messages in schools. The CPAS covered the following themes:
1. Do not steal (including how to prevent theft and not become a victim
of theft); Be Honest;
2. Cyber Security – Do not reveal personal and sensitive particulars/
information online;
3. Mr Policeman; Crime Prevention is a Shared Responsibility; and
4. Proper use of ‘999’.
Educators and students alike thoroughly enjoyed this edutainment programme.
Into its second year, the interactive show with puppets, playful characters, and
filled with jokes as well as game prizes, was a hit with primary school students.
Youth Crime Prevention HandBookIn our efforts to communicate to youths, the
NCPC, together with the Singapore Police Force,
distributed the Youth Crime Prevention Handbook
to all Secondary school students in Singapore. The
palm-sized handbook is aimed at educating youths
on crime prevention including cyber crime and has
since been updated to include new crime trends such
as cyber crime.
Crime Prevention Proficiency Badge
This year, 2,623 students went through our Crime
Prevention Awareness education at the various
Neighbourhood Police Centres and passed the Crime
Prevention Proficiency test to qualify for the Crime
Prevention Proficiency badge.
In our continuous effort to engage the youths through
the leaders of various uniformed groups, 115 leaders of the
Scout, Girl Guides, St John’s Ambulance Brigade and the
National Civil Defense Cadet Corps received underwent
This programme was conceptualized in 1982 to heighten students’ awareness on crime prevention and complemented the leadership skills developed by the uniformed groups transform students into positive peer influencers.
the Crime Prevention Proficiency Badge training
programme on 31 May 2010, during which officers from
the Singapore Police Force shared on the current trend of
crimes committed by and against youths as well as crime
prevention measures. The training ensured that the
leaders of the various uniformed groups understood the
objectives of the programme and were armed with the
knowledge to conduct the programme for their fellow
students.
This handbook is also available
on the NCPC’s website.
NCPC Annual Report 10/11
Equipping Our Senior Citizens08
The NCPC’s Crime Prevention Ambassadors (CPA) are the backbone ofour strategy to engage senior citizens to be more aware of crime prevention. CPAs are volunteers who have the passion and conviction in empoweringtheir peers with information to keep themselves safe. In 2010, over 15 new CPAs joined our ranks, making our total number of volunteers over 185.
These senior CPAs educate their peers at community events and on a personal level, even in dialects when appropriate to better reach out to the senior citizens. This effectively causes a ripple effect, carrying the crime prevention message further than what NCPC can achieve on our own.
CPA DialoguesMore than 80 CPAs turned up for the dialogue and training session on
23 October 2010. It was a session of lively banter and exchange of ideas on how
they could achieve the objectives of the CPA programme.
Chit Chat Sessions and Outreach StatisticsOur CPAs conducted more than 90 crime prevention talks through Chit Chat
sessions, roadshows and exhibitions which successfully reached out to around
82,800 members of public.
EQUIPPING OUR SENIOR CITIZENS
NCPC Annual Report 10/11
Protecting Our Neighbourhoods 09
The Neighbourhood Watch Zone (NWZ) was launched in 1997 with the objective of giving the Resident Committee (RC) in the HDB heartlandsa grant to conduct crime prevention awareness activities for their residents.
This is a tripartite effort encompassing the NCPC, the Neighbourhood Police Centres and volunteers from the RCs.
With 637 RCs participating in 498 projects, over $250,000 grants weregiven out this financial year in support of the NWZ programme. Projects undertaken ranged from the installation of CCTVs at Senior Citizens’Corners to volunteers’ bicycle patrol and exhibitions to enhance residents’ crime prevention awareness.
Besides building community camaraderie, NCPC is steering the use of the funds to address relevant crime concerns in the neighbourhood.
NWZ Day 2010The NWZ Day 2010 was held on 4 December 2010 at Shaw Bugis Cineplex.
Our Chairman Mr Tan Kian Hoon graced the event as the Guest-of-Honour.
The event was a platform for the NCPC to reward and recognize
the contributions of the various RC Zones.

X-Ah-LongX-Ah-Long is a community effort hosted by NCPC to
complement the Singapore Police Force in their battle
against loanshark activities.
Bicycle Security Labels
In line with the NCPC’s mission to inspire and empower
the community to stop preventable crimes, the Bicycle
Security Labels were jointly launched with the Singapore
Police Force on 20 March 2011 to curb bicycle thefts.
Bearing the NCPC’s and the Singapore Police Force’s logos,
each label contains a unique set of numbers for the easy
identification of bicycles. The tamper proof labels are
specially produced with security features so that they
cannot be easily replicated.
This hotline provides a platform for people who may
require anonymity to seek help. Launched on 4 August
2010, this year long project has received over 800 calls
since its inception.
It will also be useful as an identity reference for bicycle
owners when lodging a report or filing for an independent
registry such as the Tampines Town Council BIDS system.
The Bicycle Security Labels are given out free of charge
at all Neighbourhood Police Centres.

Safeguarding Our Industries 11
NCPC works closely with our partners across industries to assist in alleviating their crime concerns. We also work with the law enforcers in engaging relevant industries in joint programmes to help reduce crime.
Singapore Hotel Association Annual Security Conference cum Awards Presentation CeremonyThe Singapore Hotel Association Annual Security Conference cum Awards
Presentation Ceremony was held on 26 October 2010. Associate Professor
Ho Peng Kee, Senior Minister of State for Law and Home Affairs, graced
the event as the Guest-of-Honour. The theme of the Conference was
“Hotels are easy targets: Are you prepared?”
A mini exhibition was also held on the same day in conjunction with
the conference.
SAFEGUARDING OUR INDUSTRIES
With the terrorist attacks on hotels and other tourist hotspots in the region, the emphasis on the public to play a role in crime prevention to safe guardour industries is stronger than ever.
NCPC Annual Report 10/11
Safeguarding Our Industries12
With the influx of foreign construction workers, there is a need to engage our foreign friends with structured programmes and help them to stay away from crime.
Through the Singapore Contractors Association Limited (SCAL), seminars were conducted to equip foreign workers with crime prevention information.
Foreign Worker Crime Prevention Ambassador (FW-CPA)The FW-CPA programme was initiated to identify and give recognition to
individual workers who exemplify model behaviour. They will then become
positive peer influencers to their colleagues. This programme was on trial for
over a year from 2009 at foreign worker dormitories located in the precinct of
the Nanyang Neighbourhood Police Centre. Its success prompted the NCPC
to work with all other NPCs to introduce the FW-CPA programme to all other
foreign worker dormitories in Singapore.
Singapore Standard for Hotel Security
Construction Industry
The “SS 545: 2009 – Singapore Standard for Hotel Security” is the first such national standard on Hotel Security in the world. It defines key processes and infrastructure that support hotels with capabilities for crisis response.
The SS 545 standard was incorporated into the annual Hotel Security Awards
in 2010. For this year’s award, all participating hotels had their physical
security, contingency preparedness, training and security processes taken
into consideration. Despite the expanded scope, the number of participating
hotels grew to 63. These hotels were recognized for their contribution towards
the high standard of security in the Singapore hotel industry. Out of the 63
hotels, 18 of them received the “Hotel Security Excellence Award” for achieving
the SS 545 standards and 45 hotels received the “Hotel Security Award”
for establishing good security measures based on SS 545.

Rallying The Community 13
World Cup Anti-Illegal Betting Campaign
RALLYING THE COMMUNITY
To deter potential punters from placing bets with illegal operators, the NCPC mounted a campaign to educate the
public that betting with online operators and other unauthorized bookies was illegal and the penalties were severe.
Over 1,700 posters were produced and, with the advice from the Singapore
Police Force, placed at ‘hotspots’ islandwide. The “hotspots” included places
where regular punters frequented, such as at Singapore Pools outlets.
Our campaign was so successful that companies such as NSL Ltd and Singapore
Pools requested for copies of the posters. NCPC has also produced an ‘EPL’
version of the poster fully sponsored by the Singapore Pools.
30,000 specially designed coasters shaped like a referee’s red and yellow
cards were also produced and distributed at coffee shops and pubs. Targeted
at football enthusiasts who could easily relate to the designs, the coasters serve
to subconsciously inculcate the anti-illegal betting message in them.
NCPC also had 130 TV advertisement spots airing the anti-illegal betting
messages during “live” world cup matches from 5 June 2010 to 12 July 2010.
Crime WatchThis iconic TV series showcases our key partner, the
Singapore Police Force, at work to keep our community and
homes safe. It is also an effective platform for educating
the public on how to keep themselves safe from crime
and for reminding potential law breakers about the
consequences of committing crimes.
Broadcast across 4 channels (Channel 5, Channel 8, Suria
and Vasantham) in their respective languages, the Crime
Watch has remained as one of the most popular programmes on TV, with over 900,000 viewers for each episode.

Independent Auditors’ Report20
Independent Auditors’ Report Report on the Financial StatementsWe have audited the accompanying financial statements of National Crime Prevention Council
(the “NCPC”), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 March 2011, and the statement of comprehensive
income, statement of changes in fund and cash flow statement for the financial year then ended,
and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
Governing Council’s responsibility for the financial statementsThe governing council is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial
statements in accordance with the Charities Act, Cap. 37, the Societies Act, Cap. 311 and Singapore
Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining
internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting
policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditors’ responsibilityOur 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 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 risk 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 governing council,
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.

1. General Information
National Crime Prevention Council (“NCPC” or the “Council”) is registered in Singapore under
the Societies Act, Chapter 311. NCPC has been approved as an Institution of Public Character
for a period of 5 years with effect from 1 May 2007. NCPC is registered as a charity under
the Charities Act (Chapter. 37).
The address of NCPC’s registered office and principal place of operations is Public Affairs
Department, Police Headquarters Level 4, New Phoenix Park Tower P, 28 Irrawaddy Road,
Singapore 329560.
The objective of NCPC is to promote crime awareness and practices in the community.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
2. 1 Basis of preparation The financial statements of NCPC have been prepared in accordance with the Singapore Financial
Reporting Standards (FRS). The financial statements, which are presented in Singapore dollars
(“SGD” or “$”), have been prepared on historical cost basis except as disclosed in the accounting
policies below.
2. 2 Changes in accounting policies The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year
except in the current financial year, the Council has adopted all the new and revised standards
and Interpretations of FRS (INT FRS) that are effective for annual periods beginning on or after
1 January 2010. The adoption of these standards and interpretations did not have any effect
on the financial performance or position of the Council.
2.3 Standards issued but not yet effective The Council has not adopted the following standards and interpretations that have been issued
but not yet effective:

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)
2.3 Standards issued but not yet effective (cont’d) Except for the revised FRS 24, the governing council expect that the adoption of the other
standards and interpretations above will have no material impact on the financial statements in
the period of initial application. The nature of the impending changes in accounting policy on
adoption of the revised FRS 24 is described below.
Revised FRS 24 Related Party Disclosures
The revised FRS 24 clarifies the definition of a related party to simplify the identification of such
relationships and to eliminate inconsistencies in its application. The revised FRS 24 expands the
definition of a related party and would treat two entities as related to each other whenever a
person (or a close member of that person’s family) or a third party has control or joint control
over the entity, or has significant influence over the entity. The revised standard also introduces
a partial exemption of disclosure requirements for government-related entities. The Council is
currently determining the impact of the changes to the definition of a related party has on the
disclosure of related party transaction. As this is a disclosure standard, it will have no impact on
the financial position or financial performance of the Council when implemented in 2012.
2.4 Significant accounting estimates and judgements The preparation of the the Council’s financial statements requires the governing council
to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, income and expenses, and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the reporting date.
However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that
could require material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected
in the future.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty The key assumption concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty
at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
•Depreciationofpropertyandequipment
The cost of property and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the assets’
useful lives. The governing council estimated the useful lives of these assets to be within 3 to
5 years. The carrying amount of the Council’s property and equipment at 31 March 2011 was
$2,042 (2010: $20,975). Changes in the expected level of usage could impact the economic
useful lives and the residual values of these assets, and therefore future depreciation charges
could be revised.

Notes to the Financial Statements28
Notes to the Financial Statements31 March 2011
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)
2.5 Functional and foreign currency Functional currency The governing council has determined the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the Council operates i.e. functional currency, to be SGD. Income and major operating
expenses are primarily influenced by fluctuations in SGD.
Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are measured in the functional currency of the Council and
are recorded on initial recognition in the functional currency at exchange rates approximating
those ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are translated at the closing rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are
translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary
items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the
date when the fair value was determined.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary
items at the balance sheet date are recognised in the income or expenditure.
2.6 Property and equipment All items of property and equipment are initially recorded at cost. The cost of an item of property
and equipment is recognized as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic
benefits associated with the item will flow to the Council and the cost of the item can be
measured reliably.
Subsequent to recognition, property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation of an asset begins when it is available for use and is computed on a straight-line
basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:
Office equipment – 3 years
Motor vehicle – 5 years
The carrying values of property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
The useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year-end to ensure
that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates
and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the
fixed assets.

Notes to the Financial Statements 29
Notes to the Financial Statements31 March 2011
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)
2.6 Property and equipment (cont’d) An item of property and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition
of the asset is included in the income or expenditure in the year the asset is derecognised.
2.7 Impairment of non-financial assets The Council assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may
be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment assessment for an asset is
required, the Council makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount.
An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s fair value
less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the
asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the
asset are discounted to their present value. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its
recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognised in income or expenditure except for assets that are previously
revalued where the revaluation was taken to other comprehensive income. In this case
the impairment is also recognised in other comprehensive income up to the amount of any
previous revaluation.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously
recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. A previously
recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used
to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised.
If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount.
That increase cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of
depreciation, had no impairment loss be recognised previously. Such reversal is recognised in
the income or expenditure unless the asset is measured at revalued amount, in which case the
reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.
2.8 Financial assets Initial recognition and measurement Financial assets are recognised on the balance sheet when, and only when, the Council becomes
a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The Council determines the
classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case
of financial assets not at fair value through income or expenditure, directly attributable
transaction costs.
Annual Financial Statements 10/11
Notes to the Financial Statements30
Notes to the Financial Statements31 March 2011
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)
2.8 Financial assets (cont’d) Subsequent measurement - loans and receivables Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an
active market are classified as loans and receivables. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and
receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment.
Gains and losses are recognised in income or expenditure when the loans and receivables are
derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process.
Derecognition A financial asset is derecognised where the contractual right to receive cash flows from
the asset has expired. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference
between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and any cumulative
gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in income
or expenditure.
All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised or derecognised on the
trade date i.e., the date that the Council commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way
purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within
the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned.
2.9 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, that are readily
convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes
in value.
2.10 Impairment of financial assets The Council assesses at each end of the balance sheet date whether there is any objective
evidence that a financial asset is impaired.
(a) Financial assets carried at amortised cost For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the Council first assesses individually whether
objective evidence of impairment exits individually for financial assets that are individually
significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Council
determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed
financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with
similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are
individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be
recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.

Notes to the Financial Statements 31
Notes to the Financial Statements31 March 2011
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)
2.10 Impairment of financial assets (cont’d) If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets carried at amortised
cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the
asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at
the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced
through the use of an allowance account. The impairment loss is recognised in the income
or expenditure.
When the asset becomes uncollectible, the carrying amount of impaired financial assets is
reduced directly or if an amount was charged to the allowance account, the amounts charged
to the allowance account are written off against the carrying value of the financial asset.
To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets has
been incurred, the Council considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant
financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments.
If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be
related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously
recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does
not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal is recognised in the
income or expenditure.
(b) Financial assets carried at cost If there is objective evidence (such as significant adverse changes in the business environment
where the issuer operates, probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the
issuer) that an impairment loss on financial assets carried at cost has been incurred, the amount
of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present
value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar
financial asset. Such impairment losses are not reversed in subsequent periods.
2.11 Donations and interest receivable Donations and interest receivable are accounted for as loans and receivables under FRS 39.
The accounting policy for this category of financial assets is stated in Note 2.8.
An allowance is made for uncollectible amounts when there is objective evidence that the
Council will not be able to collect the donations. Bad debts are written off when identified.
2.12 Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Council has a present obligation as a result of a past event,
it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation
and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Annual Financial Statements 10/11
Notes to the Financial Statements32
Notes to the Financial Statements31 March 2011
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)
2.12 Provisions (cont’d) Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best
estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required
to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. If the effect of the time value of money is
material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate,
the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to
the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
2.13 Employee benefits (a) Defined contribution plans The Council participates in the national pension scheme, the Central Provident Fund (“CPF”),
a defined contribution pension scheme as defined by the laws in Singapore. Contributions
to national pension scheme are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related
service is performed.
(b) Employee leave entitlement Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised as a liability when they accrue to
employees. The estimated liability for leave is recognised for services rendered by employees
up to balance sheet date.
2.14 Income recognition Income from donations is generally taken up on a receipt basis. An accrual is made only when
the Council has received a commitment from the donor and there is reasonable assurance
that the donation will be received, in which case, the donation income is recognised on an
accrual basis.
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method.

10. Establishment and Taxation With effect from 1 May 2007, the Council has been approved as an Institution of Public
Character under Section 37 (3) (c) of the Income Tax Act for a period of 5 years. The Council
is registered as a charity under the Charities Act (Cap. 37).
The receipts of the Council are exempt from tax under Section 13M of the Income Tax Act
(“Act”) as it has utilised not less than eighty percent of its adjusted income for charitable
purposes in Singapore in accordance with Section 13M(2)(b) of the Act. However, effective
Year of Assessment 2008, all registered charities will enjoy automatic income tax exemption
without having the need to meet the 80% spending rule. Hence, no provision for taxation
is required to be made.
11. Financial Risk Management The main risks arising from the Council’s financial management are interest rate risk and credit
risk. The governing council reviews and agrees on policies for managing each of there risks and
they are summarized below:
(a) Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of the Council’s financial
instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.
The Council’s exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily from their fixed deposits placed with
banks. The Council monitors the interest rates closely to ensure that interest bearing assets are
maintained at favourable rates.
(b) Credit risk Credit risk arises from the inability of a counterparty to fulfill the net obligations to the Council.
The Council’s maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each
financial asset as indicated in the statement of assets and liabilities.
The Council has no significant concentration of credit risk except that approximately 84% of
the donations receivable of the Council is due from the Singapore Totalisator Board, which is of
good financial standing. Cash is placed with a diversity of creditworthy financial institutions.
Annual Financial Statements 10/11
Notes to the Financial Statements 37
11. Financial Risk Management (cont’d)
(c) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Council will encounter difficulty in meeting financial obligations
due to shortage of funds. The Council’s exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches
of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Council’s objective is to maintain a balance
between continuity of funding and financial flexibility through the use of stand-by credit facilities.
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Council’s financial assets and financial
liabilities at the balance sheet date based on contractual undiscounted payments.
Financial assets:Total receivables 1,865,059 – 1,865,059 1,487,452 – 1,487,452
Cash and cash equivalents 2,705,306 – 2,705,306 3,024,669 – 3,024,669
4,570,365 – 4,570,365 4,512,121 – 4,512,121
Financial liabilities:Accrued operating expenses 245,170 – 245,170 117,466 – 117,466
Total net undiscounted financial assets 4,325,195 – 4,325,195 4,394,655 – 4,394,655
12. Financial Instruments
Fair values The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged
or settled between knowledgeable and willing parties in an arm’s length transaction, other than in
a forced or liquidation sale.
Financial instruments whose carrying amount approximates fair value
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, donations receivable, interest receivable and
accrued operating expenses based on their notional amounts, reasonably approximate their fair
values because these are mostly short-term in nature.
13. Authorisation of Financial Statements
These financial statements were authorised for issue in accordance with approval of the governing
council on 8 July 2011.
