Mission Statement
Purpose
To curb delinquency among disadvantaged young people and their families and to
move them beyond their problems. We want to develop young people who respect
the law, value education and seek to become responsible persons.
Values
We believe that people have the ability to help themselves and can successfully
reach their goals despite their disadvantages.
Strategy
We take a long-term view and focus on impacting young lives by providing them
access to social, educational and community support programmes. We value interorganisational collaboration & will steadily expand by building networks of individuals and organisations that can contribute towards our vision. We would therefore
gladly work with others, as we believe that our target group will ultimately benefit
when more members of the community take an active interest in their well-being.
Standards
We ensure quality social service by facilitating an organisational culture that rewards passion, innovation, ongoing evaluation and the development of human resources.
Why we exist
We exist to fight delinquency among children and youths especially those from
disadvantaged backgrounds. It is a well-researched fact that it is an uphill task for
such children to move beyond the unfortunate circumstances they were born into.
Without assistance these children are prone to be trapped by delinquency and continue to underachieve way into adulthood when they have children of their own.
However, arresting juvenile delinquency is not only about attending directly to such
children. We have to address systems and environments troubled by delinquency
and curb trends that suggest the escalation of juvenile related social problems.

1. THE PRESIDENT’S SUMMARY
In November 2007, The Charity Council issued a Code of Governance
for Charities and Institutions of Public Character (IPC). The key objective
of this Code is to provide guidance on the principles and standards of
good governance in the charity sector.
This year, we actively reviewed our systems and processes and are glad
to report that we comply fully with the governance guidelines laid out
in the Enhanced Section meant for IPCS & Large Charities with gross
annual receipts of $10million or more. Compliance means that we are
aligned with the best practices spelt out in the Council’s Governance
Evaluation Checklist which covered the key areas of Board Governance,
Strategic Planning, Conflicts of Interest, Programme Management,
Human Resource Management, Financial Management and Controls,
Fund Raising Practices, Disclosure and Transparency as well as Public
Relations and Corporate Communications. However, we are also aware
that we can continue to improve and we must strengthen our systems
and processes on an ongoing basis.
At the service delivery level, the challenge of attending to the well-being
and safety of young persons often required us to engage the different
stakeholders who shared our concerns for them. These stakeholders
included schools, fellow welfare organisations, the police, the Courts,
the Ministry of Community Development Youth and Sports and other
government bodies. This was a natural development because as our
programmes mature and we gain in experience, we will serve children
and youths caught up in more complex situations. Hence, in the course
of the work, our staff were constantly confronted with the awareness
that to be effective in the service of children and youths, it was of utmost
importance to nurture partnerships and to work within the legal and other
frameworks of the different stakeholders.
Across all our services, we also emphasised the important role the family
plays in the nurturance and development of children. In the service area
of Infants and Early Childhood, parental involvement was a regular
feature throughout the year. Parents helped out with various activities
and our staff visited parents at home to model and to explore the helpful
home-based activities parents could do.
At our Family Service Centre, we utilised experiential learning activities
for family strengthening. Parents and children reported that the activities
were a useful way for them to raise and discuss issues that affected
them. Getting children to benefit from the guidance, wisdom and love
of their family was especially important in the Kids United Home, our
residential programme. We remain very conscious that out-of-home
placements run the risk of weakening and devaluing family ties. Hence,
family involvement is a key programme component.
We must
rediscover the
habit of thinking
the best of each
other
- Michael Howard
“If we are to reach
real peace in this
world... we shall

- Mahatma Gandhi
“In time of test, family is best.” ~ a Burmese Proverb
Hence, I would like to express our sincere appreciation to those who have helped
us and we look forward to their continued support. These are the schools, the
voluntary welfare organizations, the child development centres, other community
organisations and all our volunteers. We also thank long time partners such as
the National Council of Social Service, the Ministry of Community Development,
Youth and Sports and the National Youth Council.
Finally, I have served as President since 2005 and my tenure ends in March
2009. It has been a privilege to serve with our Patrons Dr Sheryn Mah and Mrs
Joy Balakrishnan, our Honorary Advisor Dr S Vasoo, fellow Board members,
the staff and all volunteers as we strengthened our ability to keep young lives on
track. Our joint efforts transformed a neighbourhood based organisation of 30
staff in 2005 to one with an island-wide focus within a year. There is now a 120
strong team that serves in the areas of abandoned babies and teen pregnancy
crisis; guidance of young ‘offenders’; child protection and family preservation ,
and early childhood education for children from at-risk families. I would like to
put on record my most sincere thanks, for the support the staff and my fellow
volunteers have given me.
In the year ahead, the challenges facing children, youths and their
families appear rather daunting as we brace ourselves for the impact of
the economic downturn. We foresee social services to be busier than
usual and we are aiming to provide timely support before families spiral
downwards to a point when problems become entrenched. Our staff
will have much to do but we remain confident that with the support and
goodwill of our community we will continue to be effective and relevant.
Sincerely,
Stanley Tan

2. INTRODUCING OURSELVES (CON’T)
2. INTRODUCING OURSELVES
Social problems are best resolved within the
community and we avoid criminal or judicial
proceedings where possible.
The essence of family life is co-operation, not
togetherness.
2.1.4 Our Services & Facilities
Our Services are organized into 4 departments:
1. Infants & Early Childhood
2. Children, Youth & Restorative Justice
3. Family Services
4. Residential & Child Protection
“Patience is

passively waiting.
That is laziness.

2.1 About Us
Beyond Social Services is a charity dedicated to
reducing delinquency among children and youths
from less privileged backgrounds. It provides
guidance, care, protection and resources that keep
young people in school and out of trouble.
2.1.1 Who We Serve
Many of the young people we serve have a long
family history of hardship and the challenges they
face include the inability to meet basic household
expenses, imprisonment of breadwinners, poor
health, chronic addictions and family violence.
However, these young people are resilient and have
their own dreams, wills and aspirations. With a little
support from resources in the community, they can
move beyond their unfortunate circumstances.
2.1.2 Our Vision & Goals
Beyond’s vision is that by 2025, every child and
youth in Singapore, despite a disadvantaged
background has the opportunity to refuse a lifestyle
of delinquency and welfare dependency. Beyond is
guided by the following goals:
That children and youths steer clear of crime and
drugs;
That children and youths achieve educational

that

- Kahlil Gibran
That

are prepared to become responsible adults
who manage their families or households
competently.
That parents, children and youths attain skills
that enable them to manage money prudently for
their long-term financial needs;
That parents and caregivers take an active
interest in the well-being and development of
their children and youths.
2.1.3 Our Helping Principles
We must not act on behalf of clients where there
is a potential conflict of interest.
It is in the best interests of children to remain with
their families or natural support groups.
Residential care must always be a short-term
arrangement.
Help should build on people’s strengths and not
simply remedy their weaknesses.
A helping relationship is a respectful partnership
between us and the people we engage.
We prefer not to go about building centres or facilities.
Wherever possible we will rent, borrow or cooperate
with others to share their existing facilities. Taking
this approach we will be able to grow the work
without incurring too much set-up cost. Generally,
without the need for ‘permanent’ offices, we can
respond to community needs more nimbly.
While our proactive work approach takes us to
schools, neighbourhoods, community facilities and
youth haunts, our staff teams and centre-based
programmes are housed in the premises below.

2.1.5 Our Sources of Funding
Fund raising activities are a significant source
of funds. Operating expenses are also defrayed
by public donations managed by the National
Council of Social Service, government grants and
the generosity of philanthropic establishments,
commercial corporations and well-wishers.
2.1.6 How We Work
Beyond believes that everyone has a role to play in
the betterment of our society. While a staff team runs
the organisation, Beyond is fully aware that it cannot
achieve its goals without the support of the community.
Thus, Beyond depends substantially on volunteers;
people who support our cause with their time and
energy. Volunteers work closely with the staff and
play a crucial role in the implementation of services
and the smooth running of the organisation.

Overview
Infants and children in their early childhood are vulnerable
when their care-givers lack the resources or support to
care for them adequately. Thus, our job was to reach
these children whose families and care-givers were undersupported and overstressed as early as possible. Besides
placing these children into the relevant care and educational
programmes, we supported them by supporting their caregivers. We linked their care-givers to resources in the
community such as employment opportunities, financial
assistance and so forth to enhance their ability to provide a
sense of stability for their children.
For families who experienced a sense of isolation we
bridged them to the resources in their natural support
networks. Family, friends and other loose ties were valuable
support and resources when we succeeded in making the
connections.
As we continue to identify with the plight of disadvantaged
children, we must always remember that it is in children’s
best interest to remain with their families and natural support
networks. Our primary task is to support these families and
natural support networks; work with them as partners, value
and utilise their resources and never treat them as though
they were the problem.

Our Programmes
1. Healthy Start Child Development Centre
We provide children with a quality environment that
nurtures their growth and developmental needs
emotionally, socially, cognitively and physically. We
will do this by providing quality pre-school curriculum
and nurturing a positive partnership with their care
givers. Admission to the programme is by invitation
as we are the safety net for children who fall through
the cracks.
We were heartened to see that children who
joined the programme early and attended regularly
made great strides in their learning and overall
development. These children managed average
results at the end of Primary One.
The majority of the children though do not come
to us early or regularly enough and need the close
attention of a teacher for them to make progress.
However, despite being structured for a smaller
teacher-student ratio, we have been unable to fill
up our staffing quota as there is a shortage of early
childhood educators in the sector.
Thankfully the continued support and goodwill from
the community provided us with volunteers who
enriched the programme with their resources, time
and energy.
3. INFANTS & EARLY CHILDHOOD DEPARTMENT (CON’T)
2. Healthy Start Programme
We will seek out infants and preschoolers from
disadvantaged families and ensure that their physical,
intellectual, emotional and social developmental
needs are met. We will do this through outreach
activities, linking them to early childhood education
programmes and forming partnerships with their
care givers. This early intervention will enable them
to discover their potential to learn and provide them
a strong foundation for primary school education.
To be effective we need to work closely with the
government, Healthy Start Programme Operators
and other community partners.
This programme continued to be an important safety
net for children and families who faced multiple
social challenges. Our challenge was to reach these
children early and to form partnerships with caregivers that focused on the educational needs of their
children. Hence, we are glad that the nurses and the
medical social workers at the KK Women & Children
Hospital have reassured us that they recognised the
importance of the Programme and will continue to
facilitate our presence in the hospital for mothers
and new-borns in need.
At the KK Women and Children’s Hospital we spoke
to 1701 women in the maternity wards. Many of the
women had mixed feelings. While their new born

brought them much joy, they were aware of the added
responsibilities and were concerned about being
financially strained. Nonetheless, the majority felt
that they could count on their family and friends for
support. Only 25 sought to join the programme and
153 others requested for our assistance in referring
them to support services nearer their home.

Our neighbourhood outreach teams worked
closely with the police to reduce the incidence of
inhalant abuse in the various neighbourhoods.
This partnership with the police also helped us to
put in place care and supervision plans for 8 young
offenders, diverting them away from the juvenile
justice system.
We guide teenagers who are experiencing a
pregnancy crisis so that they do not take the
drastic step of abandoning their baby. We do this
by proactively publicising the programme, providing
information, support and community resources that
nurture responsible decision making and behaviours.

Summary
We noticed that whenever the media covered the
difficulties and issues confronting youths, there would
usually be suggestions to impose more discipline on
them. Tougher legal measures were advocated as
the cure for the ‘ill-discipline’ of our young people.
In the course of our work, we have experienced such
sentiment in the form of less tolerance towards the young
person who does not fit in nicely into an organised system
or a structured environment. Sadly, we also experienced a
lack of patience for the young person who awkwardly lacks
the social skills to make friends or to relate with authority
figures.
We believe that this pessimistic view of young people and
the suggestions from helping & teaching professionals
to utilise legal means as a discipline tool only serve to
exacerbate the strained family relationships that often
play a part in the troubles of the young person. Parenting
and guiding a troubled young person is hard work but it is
also an opportunity for families to ‘reclaim’ their children
and strengthen bonds. Helping professionals like us are
supposed to support families in such difficult endeavours and
not to simply recommend punishment as the ‘rehabilitative’
tool. Young persons who find themselves institutionalised
with offenders even though they have not committed a crime
will find it hard to reconcile that their parents have their best
interests at heart. Rebuilding the parent-child relationship
during or after the period of institutionalisation will be an
uphill task
10
During the year, we experienced success with our restorative
approach towards discipline that focussed on the repairing
and strengthening of relationships between troubled young
persons and their family. Families who work with us quickly
realised the futility of sending their children into institutions
when they considered its ill-effects. We also worked closely
with the police to reduce the incidence

Summary
Our longer term interest is to support schools as they
adopt a restorative approach towards discipline and
other problems presented by students. Hence, we
were grateful for the teacher training sessions that
schools set aside for us. After these sessions, most
teachers wanted to know whether such practices
could guarantee an orderly classroom for lessons
to be taught. We could not offer such guarantees
but continued to explain that these practices kept
students engaged through a relationship with their
teachers and in the process students learnt skills to
better manage their emotions; get along with others
and cooperate with authority.
Restorative approaches promote the development
of the person and eventually would achieve a
classroom of self-motivated students. Authority is
used to understand and guide students and not
just to get them to comply with existing norms. Cooperation through mutual respect has educational
12
value and definitely lasts longer than co-operation
secured by authority. Teachers who participated
in the experiential learning activities with their
students reported that relationship building was
helpful in building a positive view of their students.
Those that carried out talking circles found most of
their students to be articulate and balanced when
problem solving.
Schools now have more resources such as
counsellors and teacher-aides for pastoral care but a
restorative school environment will need the support
of the school leadership and the cooperation of the
entire staff. We will continue to support schools
by attending to their most troubling students and
hopefully in the process strengthen our partnership
with them.

Summary
The Singapore Prisons Service engaged us for a
second run of the programme in the Reformative
Training Centre. We are glad that they continue to
see the benefit of through-care that works at family
reintegration while the young person is incarcerated.
The Singapore Prisons Service continues to remain
open in accommodating the family members of our
participants by adapting their security concerns for
Family Bridging Programmes.
About the Programme
8. Restorative Care
Our Partners – Singapore Prisons Service
We prepare youths receiving institutional care to stay
away from a high-risk lifestyle upon their release. We
believe that aftercare begins in in-care and we help
youths acquire a sense of hope, responsibility and
skills in moral reasoning. We work in partnership with
their families and community resources to ensure
that there is adequate and relevant support from the
day the youth is released.

Summary
Sports, adventure and the performing arts continued
to be useful means of engagement that helped
our youth workers to strengthen their helping
relationships with those under their charge.
The LIFE Programme proved extremely important
and useful for building the confidence and learning
skills in our children. We will continue to work
towards providing this programme at the different
facilities where Beyond’s children are served.
9. Beyond Champions
- United in Defeat, Humble in Victory
Beyond Champions engages youths through sports,
adventure and other physically challenging activities
as a means of inculcating a sense of fair-play, selfdiscipline/honesty and teamwork. Participants are
challenged to do the right thing by actively reflecting
if their actions and thinking are safe, fair & honest or
that they promote cooperation & sportsmanship.

Our youth worker approaches these youths at their
regular hangouts and pulls them together for the
common purpose of putting up a show that will be
performed in housing estates and public areas. The
show will also serve as a bridge between the youths
and their community. It will also be an opportunity
for the youths to do something positive for their
community and a chance for the community to view
them in positive light.

We help children who are facing multiple challenges,
to attain their age appropriate literacy level so that
they may have a fighting chance to further their
education. We will do so by strengthening their
English; which is the working language. This will then
enable them to develop literacy skills in other areas.
LIFE will also build into its curriculum, opportunities
to inculcate moral values. To be effective, we will be
a driver to ensure that children, their families and
schools work cooperatively in the context of the
programme.

Overview
Service users could be broadly categorised into 2
groups: 1.Those who needed urgent and intensive casemanagement so that their situations could be stabilised and
2. Those once placed on a welfare scheme, got on quite
nicely. The majority of service–users belonged to category
2 but those needing intensive case-management presented
challenging issues that required families to dialogue in a
way that was helpful for problem solving.
Hence, to facilitate communication and the strengthening
of relationships, we put these families through adventure
based experiential learning exercises. We worked with
small groups of families where participants could benefit
from private family time as well as mutual learning between
different families. Participants expressed that they enjoyed
this active way of learning and found themselves having
meaningful conversations within their families.
During these sessions, we consciously drew out from the
participants relevant information on parenting, nutrition
and so forth highlighting to them that they already had
such expertise within themselves. Participants found this
empowering and we believe that this is a more respectful
way of promoting positive parenting.
ASK (Attitude, Skills and Knowledge) the Parents Workshops
equip participants with the attitude, skills and knowledge
necessary for effective parenting. Topics included Health
Education; Nutrition, Home Safety for young children and
Family Planning.

grants provided by the government so that they
can better provide for the educational needs of their
children, upgrade their work skills and increase their
family income. However, in our attempt to promote
the HOPE Scheme we will be respectful of families
who have chosen to have more than 2 children and
we will link them to other appropriate services if
necessary.
Triple P (Positive Parenting Programme) promotes
positive, caring relationships between parents and
their children, and help parents develop effective
management strategies for dealing with a variety
of childhood behaviour problems and common
developmental issues. This programme is for
parents of preadolescent children from birth to age
12 years.
The Toughlove Parent Support Group is for parents
whose teenagers will not accept tender loving
care. Not from their parents, their teachers, their
guidance counsellors, nor other concerned adults.
The Toughlove Programme is not meant to punish
children but to help them act responsibly towards
themselves and those that care for them.

Summary
We ceased the operations of Community Beyond when
the 2-year pilot project with the Ministry of Community
Development, Youth & Sports ended in July. All residents
were discharged back to their families or placed in other
appropriate community services. Our existing resources
were redeployed to the Kids United Home which moved
to larger premises. Kids United Home which is a Place of
Safety and an Approved Home listed in the Government
Gazette increased its capacity from 12 to 24 residents.
Community Beyond which provided a period of stability for
youths who were recently discharged from an institution
could not fulfil its original aim of catering to those from the
Singapore Boys’ and Girls’ Home as the majority of youths
upon their release preferred to count on the support of their
natural networks. This was understandable as after having
been institutionalised, these youths wanted their freedom
and did not fancy moving from one institution into another
even though our facility was not a secure environment.
Hence over the last 2 years, we only served 1 person from
the Singapore Boys’ and Girls Homes in the original aim, and
our facility was filled with those undergoing a programme at
the Reformative Training Centre and teenagers challenged
by care and protection issues. From June 2006 to July 2008,
we served a total of 39 young persons.

6. RESIDENTIAL & CHILD PROTECTION DEPARTMENT (CON’T)
Nonetheless, the challenging work was an important
learning experience that strengthened our helping
philosophy and practices for residential services. It
was learning that was transferable as we focused
our resources on children facing challenges with
care and protection issues and the Kids United
Home. Our programme at the Kids United home
was strengthened to facilitate resilience, family ties
and a stronger partnership with the government
who in most cases is the Statutory Protector of the
Child.
This Department has been reshaped slightly to
support and advocate for young people and their
care-givers troubled by the issue of child protection.
The programmes all play an important part in the
different stages of the work. The Kids United Daily
Care Programme serves as a preventive and postcare intervention, the Home as a stabilising and
family strengthening programme while Safe Kids is
a crisis management programme.
Since 2005, the Safe Kids Programme has supported
more than 300 children and 800 of their family
members to create safe and nurturing homes. As we
continue to advocate for them we must remember
that to be effective it is of utmost importance to
nurture partnerships with others who share our
concerns for them and to work within legal and other
frameworks of the different stakeholders.
1. Kids United Daily Care & Guidance
This programme serves as an important protective
factor for children identified to be in need of care
and protection preventing their admission into a
residential facility. It also serves as a ‘half-way’
programme that stabilises children who have been
released from residential care.
This care and guidance programme operates every
weekday from 9.00 a.m. to 8.00 p.m. The target
group are children deemed to lack adult guidance,
basic care or to be prone to delinquency, truancy
and premature school leaving . On weekends, the
children are involved in sports and other activities.
Key Objectives:
To provide a safe and stable environment where
children are protected from negative influences.
To help children stay in school and achieve
academic success
To instil the values of personal responsibility, selfrespect and consideration for others.

6. RESIDENTIAL & CHILD PROTECTION DEPARTMENT (CON’T)
To impart life skills such as teamwork, timemanagement, budgeting and family functioning.
To encourage parents and care givers to take an
active interest in their children’s development.
133 children & 58 care-givers served
3. Safe Kids is a harm minimisation programme
that attends to alleged child abuse immediately.
We provide crisis management, attend to clear &
present danger and monitor care and safety plans
in close collaboration with the Child Protection and
Welfare Services of the government
2. Kids United Home
Kids United Home has a capacity for 24 children
who are organised into small groups of 4 who are
supervised by one residential care and guidance
worker. Siblings are grouped together and as much
as possible, family involvement is encouraged and
respected.
We believe that it is in the best interest of young
people to be cared for in the community by
What we do
We provide a short-term residential care programme
for children aged 7 -14 years old (referred by MCYS
or within Beyond) who are unable to remain at home
for various reasons that affect their well-being.
How we do it
We work towards minimizing the ill-effects of an outof-home placement by small group care that builds
resilience through a residential programme that
provides children a sense of belonging as well as
the opportunities to be good at something, to make
decisions and to show consideration for others.
The programme also works at strengthening
children’s links with their families and natural support
networks.
Why we do it this way
Kids United Home is an institution and acknowledging
this, is the first step towards minimizing the ill-effects
associated with institutional care.
There are no
dysfunctional
families-Anthony Yeo, Father of
Counselling
“What does love
look like? It has the
hands to help others.
It has the feet to
hasten to the poor
and needy. It has
eyes to see misery
and want. It has
the ears to hear the
sighs and sorrows
of men. That is what
love looks like.”
- Saint Augustine
Our institution believes that when a child is not
cooperative, it is because our system is not working
and not because we have a problem child.
Each day, a child should know some joy and look
forward to some joy on the next.

their families or natural support network. State
supervision and residential care must always be
short-term solutions that if necessary, are utilised
as opportunities to strengthen families and their
natural support networks with the view that they
have the primary responsibility and right to raise
their children.
Our partnership with MCYS is key and together we
will form 2 arms of the Child Protection System.
This will be a balanced two-prong approach where
the perspectives and resources of both the State
and the Community are considered and harnessed
for the safety of young people and their longer-term
well being.

7. PARTNERSHIP & TALENT DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
Overview
This team looks into the strengthening of
partnerships with stakeholders who contribute to the
sustainability and growth of our work. Stakeholders
include donors, volunteers, corporations and
community organisations and the staff. The team’s
tasks include fund-raising, volunteer management,
research and training programmes that nurture and
sustain the staff.
Highlights for the year are as follows:
The Beyond Dinner
The event held on 25 April raised $1 425 000.
PSA Singapore Terminals (PSA) as main sponsor
contributed S$100,000. Cost for the entire event
was fully sponsored and the Guest of Honour was Mr
Mah Bow Tan, Minister for National Development.
There were more than 600 guests and the highlight
was a performance by Minister Mah Bow Tan and
a band of musicians comprising representatives
from the Government, Beyond, the private sector,
the volunteers and the beneficiaries that raised
$513,900. Besides serving as a finale to the evening,
it symbolically demonstrated the many helping
hands approach.
The Citi-Milk Run
The event attracted 10,053 participants and raised
$1,143,051 and it was another success mainly
because of how our main sponsors Citi and Cosponsors PSA Corporation Ltd rallied support for
us from their associates. We also have to thank
the Mainly I Love Kids Fund and for directing many
resources our way.
Talent Development
Certificate in Systemic Case Management
In collaboration with the Potsdam University

STATEMENT BY BOARD OF MANAGEMENT
We, being two of the undersigned Board of Management of Beyond Social Services do hereby state that,
in the opinion of the Board of Management, the balance sheet, statement of financial activities, statement
of changes in funds and cash flow statement are properly drawn up so as to give a true and fair view of the
state of affairs of the Society as at 31 December 2008 and the results, changes in funds and cash flows of the
Society for the financial year ended on that date.
On behalf of the Board of Management
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF
TO THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT OF BEYOND SOCIAL SERVICES
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of BEYOND SOCIAL SERVICES (“the Society”),
which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2008, and the statement of financial activities, statement
of changes in funds and cash flow statement for the financial year then ended, and a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory notes. The audited financial statements for the financial year ended
31 December 2007 were audited by another firm of Certified Public Accountants who expressed an unqualified
opinion on 19 March 2008.
THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Stanley Tan
President
Singapore
23 March 2009
Chua Kee Lock
Honourary Treasurer
The Society’s Board of Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial
statements in accordance with the provisions of the Societies Act (Chapter 311), Charities Act (Chapter 37)
and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes:
(a)
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 income statement and balance sheet to maintain accountability of assets;
(b)
selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and
(c)
making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances
AUDITORS’ 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 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 judgement, 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 Board of Management, as well as evaluating 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.

BALANCE SHEET
OPINION
In our opinion, the financial statements are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Societies
Act (Chapter 311), Charities Act (Chapter 37) and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards, and so as to give
a true and fair view of the state of affairs of Beyond Social Services as at 31 December 2008 and of the results
and changes in financial position of the Society for the financial year ended on that date.
During the course of our audit, nothing came to our notice that caused us to believe that the fund raising
expenses have exceeded 30% of the total gross receipts from fund raising during the financial year.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
3.1
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Societies
Act, (Chapter 311), Charities Act, (Chapter 37), Recommended Accounting Practice 6 and Singapore
Financial Reporting Standards (FRS)
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost basis except as disclosed in the
accounting policies below.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and
assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income
and expenses. All these judgements, estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical
experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Actual may ultimately differ from those estimates.
The financial statements are expressed in Singapore dollars (SGD or $).
The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Society and are consistent with those
used in the previous financial year.
3.2
Changes in accounting policies
The following INT FRSs are effective for annual period beginning 1 January 2008:
-
INT FRS 111 FRS 102 – Group and Treasury Share Transactions
INT FRS 112 Service Concession Arrangements
INT FRS 114 FRS 19 – The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements

3.4
Functional currency
The management has determined the currency of the primary economic environment in which the
Society operates i.e. functional currency, to be SGD. Donation received, sales prices and major costs of
providing goods and services including major operating expenses are primarily influenced by fluctuations
in SGD.
50
3
3.5
Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment. The cost
of plant and equipment initially recognised include its purchase price and any directly attributable costs
of bringing the plant and equipment to working condition for its intended use. Subsequent expenditure
relating to plant and equipment that has already been recognised is added to the carrying amount of the
asset only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will follow to the
Society and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance expenses
are recognised in the statement of financial activities when incurred.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis to allocate the cost of the assets less residual
values over their estimated useful lives. The annual rates of depreciation are:Air-conditioner
Computer
Equipment
Furniture & fittings
Leasehold improvement
Motor vehicle
5 years
3 years
5 years
5 years
5 years
5 years
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
The residual values, 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 items of plant and
equipment.
An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits
are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on derecognition of the asset is included in the
statement of financial activities in the year the plant and equipment is derecognised.
51
3
3.6
Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Society’s assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine
whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable
amount is estimated. All impairment losses are recognised in the statement of financial activities
whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount.
An impairment loss is only revised to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the
carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or impairment, if no impairment
loss had been recognised. All reversals of impairment are recognised in the statement of financial
activities.
3.7
Financial assets
Loans and receivables
Financial assets are recognised on the balance sheet when, and only when, the Society becomes a
party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
3
3.8
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, bank balances and fixed deposits. Cash carried in
the balance sheet is classified and accounted for as loans and receivables under FRS 39.
3.9
Impairment of financial assets
The Society assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that a
financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables 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 (excluding future credit losses that have
not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective
interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through
the use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss is recognised in the statement of financial
activities.
When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus transaction costs.
When the financial 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.
All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised or derecognised on the trade
date i.e. the date that the Society 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.
To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets has been
incurred, the Society considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial
difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments.
Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active
market are classified as loans and receivables. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the
effective interest method, less impairment losses. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement
of financial activities when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the
amortisation process.
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. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the
statement of financial activities, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its
amortised cost at the reversal date.
The Society classifies the following financial assets as loans and receivables:
cash and cash equivalents
other receivables
52
53

3.10
Derecognition of financial assets
3
3.14
Operating leases
A financial asset is derecognized where the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset have
expired.
Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risk and benefits of ownership of the
lease term, are classified as operating leases.
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 has been recognized directly in
equity is recognized in the statement of financial activities.
Operating lease payments are charged to the statement of financial activities on a straight line basis
over the period of the lease.
3.11
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities include trade and other payables, which are normally settled on 30-90 day terms and
payables to related parties. Financial liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet when, the Society
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial liabilities are initially
recognised at fair value of consideration received less attributable transaction costs and subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of financial activities when the liabilities are
derecognised and through the amortization process. The liabilities are derecognised when the obligation
under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expired.
When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, any payment required to
be made to the lessor by way of penalty is recognised as an expense in the period in which termination
takes place.
3.15
Employee benefits
(a) Defined contribution plan
As required by law, the Society makes contributions to the state pension scheme, the Central Provident
Fund (CPF). CPF contributions are recognised as compensation expenses in the same period as the
employment that gives rise to the contribution.
(b) Employee leave entitlement
3.12
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 management. Externally restricted funds
may only be utilized in accordance with the purposes established by the source of such funds and are
in contrast with unrestricted funds over which management retains full control to use in achieving any
of its institutional purposes.
Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognized when they accrued to employees. Unused
annual leave are not allowed to be carried forward to the following calendar year.
3.16
Incoming Resources
(a) Donations
Donations and income from fund-raising projects are recognised as and when received.
3.13
Provision
Provisions are recognised when the Society has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result
of a past event where it is probable that it will result in an outflow of economic benefits to settle the
obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.
(b) Grants
Government subventions are recognised as income according to the terms of the funding agreements,
on an accruals basis.
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 resources embodying economic benefits 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.

During the financial year, the Society issued tax-exempt receipts for donations collected from voluntary
income and income from fund-raising activities amounting to $4,639,755 (2007:$3,718,600).
14 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(a)
Financial risk management objectives and policies
The main risk arising from the Society’s financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and interest
rate risk. The Society has no foreign currency risk. The board policies for managing these risks are
summarized below.
Credit risk
Credit risk is limited to risk arising from the inability of receivables to make payments when fall due.
Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of other receivables and cash and cash equivalents represents the Society’s
maximum exposure to credit risk. No other financial asset carries a significant exposure to credit risk.
Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired
Other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are receivables from government subvention,
fundraising activities, deposits and prepayments. Cash and cash equivalents that are neither past due
nor impaired are placed with or entered into with reputable financial institutions with high credit ratings
and no history of default.
Financial assets that are either past due or impaired
12 INCOME TAX
The Society is a registered Charity under the Charities Act, Chapter 37 and is exempted from income
tax.
The Society has Nil (2007: Nil) financial assets that are either past due or impaired.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk refers to the risk in which the Society is unable to meet its short term obligations and this
arises due to shortage of funds.
Liquidity risk for the Society is minimal as the Society is able to meet its funding requirements through
its operations.
70
71
14 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
(a)
Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued)
Liquidity risk (continued)
At the balance sheet date, the Society has non-derivative financial liabilities that are other payables
amounting to $246,057 (2007:$314,395) which will mature within 1 year or less.
15 COMPARATIVE FIGURES
The financial statements for last year were reported on by other Certified Public Accountants who
expressed an unqualified opinion on 19 March 2008.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years financial statements to enhance comparability
with current year’s financial statement.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk relates to fixed deposits.
The Society’s fixed deposit has an interest ranging from 0.45% to 1.25% (2007: 0.68% to 2.74%).
The fixed deposit is exposed to market interest rate risk which the Society has no policies in place to
mitigate the effect.
The Society’s interest rate risk is minimal.
Sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk
At the balance sheet date, if the interest rate risk had been 100 basis points lower / higher with all
other variables held constant, the Society’s (outgoing resources) / incoming resources net of tax would
have been $39,218 (2007:$15,137) higher / lower arising mainly as a result of a lower / higher interest
income on fixed deposits.
(b)
Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities reported in the balance sheet approximates the
carrying amount of those assets and liabilities, as these are short term in nature.
During the financial year, no amount (2007: NIL) has been recognised in the statement of financial
activities in relation to the change in fair value of financial assets or financial liabilities estimated using
a valuation technique.
