The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The charity is established to advance the education of the Worthing public in dramatic arts, particularly the art of musical drama, by the production of musical plays, and to advance such charitable purposes as the Committee shall determine.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The Company usually produces and performs at least two shows a year at the local Connaught Theatre. In addition additional Concert programmes may be produced from time to time.
Fundraising activities
The majority of the Society's income is from the sale of tickets for its performances. Other fund raising activities may be promoted from time to time.
Investment performance
The Committee has the power to invest the Society's funds in any way the trustees wish. The trustees have regard for the liquidity requirement of operating the society and the reserves policy. They have operated a policy of keeping funds with recognised High Street Banks.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The Charity operates on a non-profit making basis. Any surplus for a financial period is retained to be utilised by the Charity for the benefit of the Society and its members and to fund the main activity of the society namely the production of theatrical performances.
Funds in deficit
There are no funds in deficit. It is the financial aim of the Board to strive to have in cash reserves the estimated cost of one entire production.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The Charity was established on 2nd February 1995 by the members of Worthing Musical Comedy Society. The Charity is not incorporated but is governed by a written constitution available to all members.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
All members are circulated with an invitation to nominate management committee members/trustees prior to the next Annual General Meeting (AGM). They are advised of retiring board members/trustees and requesting new nominations for the AGM. Current Trustees have the right to invite new trustees with their appointment confirmed at the next AGM.
The officers and board members are elected or appointed on an annual basis. The AGM is held in the month of June each year.
Organisational structure
The Committee can have up to 12 members and administers the charity/society. The committee meets monthly. A chairman is appointed at the AGM and oversees day to day operations of the charity. To facilitate effective operations the Chairman can delegate authority for operational matters.
Induction and training of new trustees
New trustees hold an initial meeting as soon after the AGM as possible to be introduced to the management practices of the Society.
Related parties
The Society owns the entire share capital of Worthing Musical Productions Limited. This does not trade but owns the freehold to the company headquarters/rehearsals facilities. The society is looking to transfer the freehold ownership back to the charity so long as to do so does not create any tax liabilities.
All Trustees are also members of the Society and can use the Society's facilities accordingly.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF WORTHING MUSICAL COMEDY SOCIETY
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Worthing Musical Comedy Society
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Worthing Musical Comedy Society (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Fixtures and fittings - 25% on reducing balance Computer equipment - 25% on reducing balance
No depreciation is provided for on the property held by the Society as the trustees consider the historic cost reflects the value of the property to the Society.
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
