TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2024.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charitable company's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)” (published in October 2019).

Objectives and activities

The charitable company's objects are to promote the belief in the Biblical record of creation, showing it to be foundational to Christian belief. This is achieved through four principal aims:

The charity undertakes the following activities for achieving objectives:

The charity operates the UK ministry Answers in Genesis UK/Europe.

The trustees, having regard to the guidance issued, confirm that the public benefit of the charity is found in advancing the Christian religion through promoting, by all means of communication, belief in the whole of the Bible and in particular, the creation of the universe by God. The charity actively raises awareness and understanding amongst Christians and non-Christians of creation and the God behind it, using up to date scientific evidence as well as biblical evidence. A significant range of resources (layman and technical) are available to the public (adults and children), through books, DVDs, website and radio and television programmes and interviews. Meetings and conferences, which are open to all, are regularly held throughout the United Kingdom, when permitted.

The charitable company is most grateful for the many volunteer hours expended by helpers at events and at the main office and warehouse in Leicester.

Achievements and performance

48 meetings were held in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, plus the Netherlands and Switzerland. These covered a full variety of topics including relevance of Genesis, creation apologetics, the Bible, design, dinosaurs, science, atheism and social issues (e.g. the family, racism, climate change and identity), etc.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

Highlights include:

Additional notes of significance:

Financial review

During the year ended 30th June 2024, the trustees continued to actively manage the financial position; during the year the charitable company incurred a general fund surplus of £61,033 (2023 - deficit £21,511). At the year end the total reserves of the charity were £316,814 (2023 - £255,781), none of which were restricted, being the equivalent of approximately 12 months operating costs, ensuring that the charitable company complied with the current reserves policy.

Income, expenditure and cash flow have been monitored monthly. The trustees and staff have worked proactively and with some vigour to reduce costs and maintain income. The organisation is in a good position financially to enter the next financial year.

A realistic Business Plan was in place for the year ended 30th June 2024 and has been monitored against monthly reported figures in order that any deviations can be identified in a timely manner and acted upon. The trustees are aware of the need, particularly in the current financial climate, to be prudent and regularly review measures to contribute to the financial stability of the charitable company. Reserves should be more than adequate to cover any short term increase in expenditure that this will entail.

It is the policy of the charitable company that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charitable company’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charitable company is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

Structure, governance and management

The entity, which is also known as Answers in Genesis, is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

R C Beckett S C Burgess K A Ham A C McIntosh P E Salmon (Resigned 9 November 2023) D E Campbell M Iles (Appointed 9 November 2023)

The trustees may appoint any person who is willing to act to be a trustee of the charitable company. Trustees appointed during the year shall hold office until the next Annual General Meeting of the charitable company or for another period as specified (up to a maximum of two years) and shall be eligible for re-election at the appropriate AGM.

None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up.

Organisation

The board of trustees must consist of a minimum of three members but is not subject to any maximum. The board meets quarterly and on such other occasions as shall be deemed necessary to ensure the effective functioning of the charity. Regular communication amongst all trustees is maintained between board meetings.

Potential trustees are usually invited to attend board meetings and participate in the running of the charity for a period of six to twelve months prior to being approved for appointment as trustees. In addition, new trustees are invited and encouraged to attend a series of short training sessions to familiarise themselves with the charity and the context within which it operates. These sessions relate to the following:

A question and answer pack is available drawing on information from the various Charity Commission publications signposted through the Commission's guide "the Essential Trustee" as a follow up to these sessions. This is distributed to all new trustees along with the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the latest financial statements.

This Report has been prepared having taken advantage of the small companies exemption in the Companies Act 2006.

The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Answers in Genesis UK/Europe is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 167 London Road, Leicester, LE2 1EG.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charitable company's memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)” (issued in October 2019). The charitable company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charitable company has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charitable company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charitable company.

1.4 Incoming resources

Income is recognised when the charitable company is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charitable company has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charitable company has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

1.5 Resources expended

Expenditure is included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be attributed directly to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.

Expenditure on charitable activities relates to the direct costs associated with merchandising income, which is recognised when the associated sale is made.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Plant and equipment 15% per annum on a reducing balance basis Fixtures and fittings 15% per annum on a reducing balance basis Computers 25% per annum on a reducing balance basis Vehicles 25% per annum on a reducing balance basis

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charitable company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.8 Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition. Items held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured the lower of replacement cost and cost.

1.9 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.10 Financial instruments

The charitable company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charitable company's balance sheet when the charitable company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

ANSWERS IN GENESIS UK/EUROPE

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charitable company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.11 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charitable company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.12 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
