Trust Statement 2024 to 2025

The Gambling Commission's Trust Statement for the period 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025

6 - Financial instruments

The Gambling Commission, on behalf of the Consolidated Fund, is party to financial instruments in the normal course of business. These include cash at bank, receivables, and payables. Financial instruments are valued at amortised costs in accordance with IFRS 9.

Under IFRS 7, the principal financial risks to consider are:

Credit Risk – the risk that a counterparty will default on its obligations. Receivables are assessed at the reporting date for any changes in credit risk in line with IFRS 9. Further details of any impairments can be seen in Note 4.3.

Liquidity Risk – the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations as they fall due. There are no liquidity risks as the Commission does not borrow or invest surplus funds.

Market Risk – the risk of losses arising from movements in market prices, including interest rates and foreign exchange. There are no market risks as the Commission does not borrow or invest surplus funds.
