CONSIDERATIONS FOR CSP

We consider services that have been tendered under a
competitive process for SEAI funds as traded income.
These organisations then notifies the SEAI a house to be
insulated and when works are complete and certified, the
money is drawn down as payment for the works/service
carried out under a charging and pricing arrangement
agreed at the SEAI contract tender stage.

We also consider fees for services under early years’ as
traded income as the organisation does not receive grant
in aid to provide child-care for the DCYA. Rather, the fee
or capitation follows the status of the parent or the child
and therefore, the early years’ service provider must
conduct an economic transaction with the parent.
RESERVES

reserves
 Unrestricted

 Designated

 Reserves
are defined as surplus funds built
up over a number of years. They are
normally generated through traded income or
other independent income stream i.e. free
reserves. Reserves exclude programme
funds (restricted reserves) received from
government through Pobal.
