Financial Review

The attached statements show the current state of the Charity’s finances, which the Trustees consider to be satisfactory. The management committee continues to invest in and develop services while maintaining existing services. This required us to use some of our reserve funds in the year. Total income in the year was £178,251 (2023 £122,520) and total expenses £177,961 (2023 £127,533) returning a small surplus of £290 (2023 deficit £5,013). The major sources of income were small grants, income generated from health interpreting services and an annual charity fundraising event.

Investment Powers and Policy

The trustees, having regard to the liquidity requirements of operating the charity, have kept available funds in an interest-bearing deposit account.

Reserves Policy and Concerns

The balance held in unrestricted reserves at 31st March 2024 was £418,465 of which £258,684 were free reserves, after allowing for funds tied up in tangible fixed assets. The trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approximately eighteen months of running costs (currently £267,000). This meets with CHIC’s financial strategic plan. The trustees consider that this level will provide sufficient funds to respond to applications for grants and ensure that support and governance costs are covered. Having regard to the level of reserves, financial strategic plan and annual budget the trustees consider that the charity is a going concern. Any reliance on grant funding is managed through a flexible approach to staffing and service provision.

Risk management

The trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks.

Plans for Future Periods

CHIC Management Committee has set out a Financial Strategy Plan for future as follows:

Minimize costs and reduce running costs
¢ — Increase interpreting service income and to train and recruit community health interpreters to meet the rising needs of the new grant from Hong Kong
¢ Continue to organise annual fund-raising activities * Use the opportunity of Chinese New Year celebrations to fundraise ° Continue the SLA with Your Housing Group (YHG) ¢ Seek, identify and bid for other sources of funding and sponsorship ¢ Publish a room hire facility on CHIC’s website to generate more funds ° Further develop and expand the Carers for Autistic Children Support Group ¢ Maintain all core services ¢ Maintain financial stability in long term

Trustees’ Responsibilities in Relation to Financial Statements

The charity trustees (who are also the directors of Chinese Health Information Service for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:

e Select suitable accounting principles and then apply them consistently; e Observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP:
e Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent:
e State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures that must be disclosed and explained in the financial statements:
e Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is appropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued January 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

(b) Funds structure

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or trust deed. There are 2 restricted funds at the year end. Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion have created a fund for a specific purpose.

Further details of each fund are disclosed in note 16.

(c) Income recognition

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Fee and grant income are reflected in the accounts when receivable. Grants are recognised when the conditions for their receipt have been met - ths may be based on performance of a task or purchase of goods or services. Grants which relate to a specified future period are deferred. Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due. Operating income represents grants, contracts, fees and sundry income receivable.

(d) Expenditure Recognition

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 settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings. For more information on this attribution refer to note (g) below.

(e) Irrecoverable VAT

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.

CHINESE HEALTH INFORMATION CENTRE

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

(f) Allocation of support and governance costs

Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support costs. Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to independent examination and legal fees together with an apportionment of overhead and support costs. Governance costs and support costs relating to charitable activities have been apportioned based on staff time and facilities used in each activity.

The allocation of support and governance costs is analysed in note 8.

(g) Charitable Activities

Costs of charitable activities include governance costs and an apportionment of support costs as shown in Note 7.

(h) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Fixed assets are included in the accounts at net book value. Additions of a single item or a group of similar assets exceeding £500, are capitalised at cost (valuation for donated assets). Depreciation is provided to write off the cost less the estimated residual value of tangible fixed assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:Computers 33 1/3% p.a. on original cost Fixtures, Fittings �� & Equipment 25% p.a. on original cost Buildings over 50 years from 2012 �� Refurbishment 20% on cost

(i) Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

(j) Creditors and Provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

(k) Taxation

The organisation is exempt from income tax by reason of its charitable status. Income tax suffered on investment income is reclaimed in full. The Charity is registered for VAT.

(I) Pensions

The charity is a member of an auto enrolment pension scheme. The charity has no liability beyond making its contributions and paying across the deductions for the employee's contributions.

(m) Contingent liabilities

A contingent liability is identified and disclosed for those transactions resulting from a possible obligation which will only be confirmed by the occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the trustees’ control.

18 COMPANY STATUS

The charitable company is limited by guarantee and all members have agreed to contribute a sum not exceeding £1 in the event of a winding up.

19 GOING CONCERN

The company's main source of income is grant funding and interpreting services. The Trustees having regard to future budgets and the current level of reserves consider that it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis and, consequently the accounts do not include any adjustments that would be necessary if the funding sources should cease.

20 POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS

The trustees consider that there are no significant post balance sheet events that impact on the financial statements as presented.

21 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised on a transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at an amortised cost using the effective interest method.

22 CONTROLLING PARTIES

The company is under the joint control of the volunteer Board of Trustees named on Page 1.
