On the date of adoption, 1 January 2019, there were no existing leases longer than 1 year.

(d) Foreign Currency Risk

The Association does not carry out any business that would give rise to foreign currency risk.

(e) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Association will have insufficient liquidity to meet its obligations as they fall due. All payables are non-interest bearing and standard settlement terms apply. This risk is managed by regularly monitoring liquid reserves and obligations falling due and through holding of cash and only short-term deposits. The Association is cash flow positive with cash inflows constantly exceeding outflows on a monthly basis.

The Association’s only financial liabilities are payables which are all contracted to be settled within 30 days after reporting date (2018: 30 days).
