**THE BRITISH SPORTS TRUST** 

**TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023** 

The trustees are pleased to present their annual directors’ report together with the financial statements of the Trust for the year ended 31 July 2023. 

These financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practise effective 1 January 2019 applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS102). 

## **1. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES** 

The objects of the Trust, as set out in the charitable company's memorandum of association, are the provision or assistance in the provision of facilities, courses, training programmes and resources to enable, assist and encourage the education of persons, including those considered to be in financial hardship, in leadership, coaching and organisation of sport and physical recreation; and the general purposes of any charitable bodies, or such other purposes as shall be exclusively charitable, as the trustees, may from time to time decide. 

The Trust’s mission is to equip young people with the confidence to believe, the qualities to lead and the skills to succeed. 

## **2. HOW OUR ACTIVITIES DELIVER PUBLIC BENEFIT** 

For over 40 years the Trust, has championed the importance of behavioural and leadership skills development as an essential element in youth education and learning. More than one million young people have achieved the Trust’s awards and qualifications. In the light of compelling evidence of the direct and wider benefits of its work the Trust continues to develop and promote these essential life skills. 

The potential for young people to lead, engage and inspire peers and local communities is universally acknowledged and the importance, relevance and value of behavioural skills, social inclusion and engagement continues to grow. Developing leadership and behavioural skills directly benefits the individual and enhances their life prospects and has a significant, positive impact on the wider economy. Improved skills in problem solving, team working, self-management and communication, and self-belief increase effectiveness and add value in all areas of endeavour. 

The Trust is working hard to equip its learners with skills that ensure young people succeed in the 21st century whilst continuing to encourage active lifestyles and positive social action. In setting out the objectives and activities of the charitable company the trustees have considered fully the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit. 

## **3. SUMMARY OF ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE: 2022-2023** 

2022/23 marked the final year of the Survival. Recovery. Growth strategy implemented in response to the covid-19 pandemic as well as the development of the organisations Evolve 2023-2028 strategy. 

While the impact and disruption of the Covid-19 pandemic were no longer impacting our ability to work with delivery centres, the cost of living crisis created significant challenges in stretching budgets in education and beyond. While this reduced our growth aspirations in the final year of the strategy, we were still able to maintain our reach and impact with 82,000 young people (52% female / 48% male) having opportunity to engage in over 500,000 hours of volunteering and 2.3m hours of leadership skill development. 

The ‘ _Your Time_ ’ programme - developed to increase competitive sport and sports leadership opportunities for girls – has continued to have a significant impact on participants. In 2022/23, 761 girls have become Your Time Leaders across 145 schools in England. Since its launch in 2021/22, Your Time has now provided over 17,600 hours of competitive sport to 8000 girls with 98% of coordinators recommending the programmes and more than three-quarters of participants feeling more confident as a result of the sport being led by female peers in their school with noticeable improvements in levels of confidence and self-belief. 

Youth voice and empowerment have been key features in the development and delivery of Your Time and have been further complemented by the establishment of our Youth Voice Panel and Centre Panel to provide ‘real-world’ feedback and perspectives into the development and improvement of current and future programmes.

**THE BRITISH SPORTS TRUST** 

**TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023** 

Both panels have contributed to the development of the organisation’s longer-term strategy and ambitions to provide more opportunities for young people to develop essential leadership skills to benefit their future. This development included the review of the organisation’s identity and the decision by Trustees and informed through extensive consultation to become the Leadership Skills Foundation. 

Following this decision, in January 2023, significant work has been undertaken, behind the scenes, to prepare for the organisation’s transition from SLQ Sports Leaders to the Leadership Skills Foundation from August 2023. This has included continued engagement with the organisation’s workforce that through independent and objective measurement through our six-monthly pulse checks which continue to show high levels of engagement, dedication, and a positive netpromoter score. The organisation has continued to positively recruit new roles across departments to ensure that current levels of support and relationship management are not compromised during the development of new products and partnerships are explored as part of the launch of the Leadership Skills Foundation identity and implementation of the future Evolve strategy. 

## **4. PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS** 

Following the launch of the Leadership Skills Foundation as the organisation’s new identity in August 2023, planning is underway to deliver on a longer-term objective to be recognised as the trusted voice for leadership skill development for the benefit of all young people and their communities. 

To achieve this objective, the Evolve strategy aims to create essential leadership skill development opportunities across education while maintaining the belief in the potential for leadership skills to act as a catalyst for positive change. We will continue to develop inspirational collaborations that extend our subject knowledge and reach across different groups, cohorts, and communities across the UK while also investing in understanding our impact and challenging ourselves to become ever more meaningful and relevant to the needs of current and future generations. 

## **5. FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

The Trust is pleased to report a surplus of £3k which should be viewed as an entirely positive performance and the result of much hard work by the team. 

Last year it was reported that income had recovered to pre-Covid levels. This year’s income has grown a further 7% in line with the business plan. 

As highlighted above the success of the ‘Your Time programme has continued to benefit income with the project now in its’ third year. 

Total awards expenditure shows an increase of £402k on the prior year reflecting a strengthening of the team to implement the Evolve strategy. Additionally there has been significant investment in product development, enhancement of IT systems as well as work to support the change of name to the Leadership Skills Foundation and new identity. 

The reserves position remains satisfactory with the Trust continuing to be well placed to continue to support young people to; believe, lead and succeed. 

## **Investment Powers and Performance** 

The trustees have discretion to invest the Trust's money in accordance with the powers granted in the memorandum of association. The safeguarding of the Trust's assets and the appropriate mitigation of risk are paramount in any investment decision made by the Trustees. 

3 



**THE BRITISH SPORTS TRUST** 

**TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023** 

Investments are held in cash deposit accounts and equity funds. Given the risk profile of the Trust and prevailing interest rates, the trustees are satisfied with the returns achieved. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The Trust aims to hold sufficient liquid reserves to ensure its continuing operation in the event of fluctuations in cash flows. The trustees regularly review the level of unrestricted reserves in the general fund by considering the risks associated with the various income streams and expenditure plans of the Trust. This enables an estimate to be made of the level of reserves that the trustees consider are sufficient to allow the Trust to meet its objectives given the risks that it faces as well as meet its’ obligations. The Trustees currently consider the minimum level of reserves required to be £750k. 

In concluding that this policy is prudent and appropriate the trustees have taken account of the following factors: 

- The current level of demand for Sports Leaders awards; 

- Recognition that a significant part of the Trust's expenditure is fixed in the short term; 

- Income streams are variable and potentially uncertain; and 

- The current economic climate. 

The reserves policy is reviewed regularly and adapted to take account of changing circumstances. The net free reserves (general reserves less fixed assets) totalled £1.4m (2022: £1.4m), cash balances at 31 July 2023 were £0.9m (2022: £1.4m). 

The trustees continue to monitor carefully the level of reserves. Given the seasonality of income, current risks and uncertainties and anticipated investment in future periods , the Trustees are comfortable with the reserves at their current level. 

## **6. STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

The British Sports Trust is a charity, registered with the Charity Commission, registered number 1095326. 

## **Directors and Trustees** 

The Directors of the charitable company ("the Trust") are its Trustees for the purposes of charity law and throughout this report are collectively referred to as 'the trustees'. 

Trustees are recruited by direct approach, introduction, or advertisement in appropriate publications. The process for the appointment of key Trustee roles of the Chair and Vice-Chair is made by and from existing trustees to ensure strong understanding of the work of the organisation in the Board's key personnel. New Trustees are inducted through meetings with Board members and senior staff as well as attendance at Board and Committee meetings. They are also encouraged to meet staff and experience tutor training and customer visits. Trustees follow the Sport and Recreation Alliance (SRA) Voluntary Code of Good Governance, a 'best practice' benchmark which gives a framework the application and review of all governance matters. The collective skills and experience of the Board are reviewed continually to ensure that they are sufficient to support the organisation effectively. New appointments to the Board have added experience in marketing, finance and awarding bodies. 

## **Remuneration of Senior Staff** 

The trustees consider that the board of trustees and the senior management team comprise the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling the daily activitites of the Trust. All trustees give of their time freely and received no remuneration in the current or preceding year. Details of Trustees’ expenses are disclosed in note 3 to the accounts. 

## **Risk Management** 

The trustees have overall responsibility for ensuring the Trust has appropriate systems of control, financial and otherwise. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Trust and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The systems of internal control are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss. They include: 

4 



**THE BRITISH SPORTS TRUST** 

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023** 

- A long-term strategic plan, annual business plan and an annual budget 

- Regular review of key performance indicators which will deliver the annual business plan to target and within budget 

- Regular review of financial results, variance from budgets and non-financial performance indicators 

- Delegation of authority and segregation of duties 

- Identification and management of risks 

- Self-evaluation of the Trust's Awarding Organisation functions in accordance with the regulatory bodies for this 

- aspect of the Trust's work; and regular assessment and mitigation of business risk. 

The systems and procedures for the management of risk are embedded in the operational and strategic management of the charity. The trustees consider that they have taken all appropriate steps to mitigate and manage these operational risks, principally through risk management processes which include strong delegation to named staff, training, stringent design and maintenance of operational procedures, and insurance of third-party risks. 

A sub-committee of the Board (the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee) meets to assist and advise the Board in fulfilling its corporate governance and oversight responsibilities in relation to the management of risk, compliance with legislation and standards, its internal control structure, audit requirements and its external reporting responsibilities and the assurance of its awarding body status. 

Business risk is considered and managed at all levels of the organisation. The trustees identify and manage the principal strategic risks the charity faces. 

Current key external risks are those relating to budgetary pressure on our partners and inflation in the wider economy exerting pressure on the organisation, its’ staff, resources and customers. The principal mitigations here are, as ever, to look diligently for opportunities to extend the reach of the organisation, to work with colleagues to address our challenges and invest in our skills and to make the most effective use of resources. 

These potential risks have been factored into business planning whilst ensuring organisation meets market needs and pursues further funding and market opportunities. Internally the risks focus on the ability of the organisation resources to adapt and respond in an agile way to business led change. 

The risk mitigation actions identified in the review process are embedded in the current strategy and monitored by the Board. 

## **Fundraising** 

The Trust does not fund raise from the general public but is mindful of the code issued by the Fundraising Regulator should any fundraising activity be required in the future. 

## **7. STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of The British Sports Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

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

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; 

- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

**THE BRITISH SPORTS TRUST** 

**TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023** 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation. 

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

## **Disclosure of information to auditors** 

The trustees who held office at the date of approval of this Trustees' Report confirm that, so far as they are each aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditors are unaware; and each trustee has taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as a trustee to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charitable company’s auditors are aware of that information. 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to small companies within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS AND TRUSTEES OF THE BRITISH SPORTS TRUST** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of the British Sports Trust for the year ended 31 July 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

In our opinion, the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 July 2023 and of the charitable 

- company’s net movement in funds, including the income and expenditure, for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

## **Other information** 

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees’ Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.  We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## **Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006** 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 

• the information given in the Trustees’ Report (which incorporates the directors’ report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

• the directors’ report included within the Trustees’ Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Report (which incorporates the directors’ report). 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

7 



**INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS AND TRUSTEES OF THE BRITISH SPORTS TRUST** 

- adequate accounting records have not been kept by the charitable company; or 

- the charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or 

- the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies’ regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the trustees’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees for the financial statements** 

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 5, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, it is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

Based on our understanding of the charitable company and the environment in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to GDPR and employment law and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, and payroll tax. 

We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries to revenue and management bias in accounting estimates. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: 

- Inspecting correspondence with regulators and tax authorities; 

- Discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud; 

- Evaluating management’s controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities; 

- Identifying and testing journals; and 

- Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their critical accounting estimates. 

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

**THE BRITISH SPORTS TRUST** 

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities (SORP 2015) (Second edition, effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). 

## **Preparation of accounts on a going concern basis** 

The trustees consider there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The review of our financial position, reserves levels and future plans gives trustees confidence the charity remains a going concern for the foreseeable future. 

The trustees believe that the Trust is well placed to manage its business risks successfully and have a reasonable expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Consequently, they are content to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements. 

## **Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the amount, events or actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates. 

The trustees do not consider there to be critical estimates and judgements applicable to the financial statements. 

## **Income** 

Income is recognised in the period in which economic benefit passes to the charity, receipt is probable and the amount can be measured with reasonable certainty. 

Charitable activities in furtherance of the Trust’s objectives represents income from: 

i) Individual candidate registration fees ii) Packages of a discrete number of candidate registrations and tutor training products (licences, packages, introductory offers, loyalty offers) iii) Training products iv) Bespoke education services (Partnership Services) v) Administration fees (incl T&C) vi) Revenue grants vii) Donations and Income tax recoverable in respect of covenanted or gift aid donations. 

Income is recognised as follows: 

i) Individual candidate registration fees are recognised in the period in which the candidate numbers are declared by the customer ii) Package fees are recognised in the period in which receipt is probable. iii) iii) Training event fees are recognised in the period in which the training takes place. iv) iv) Bespoke education services income is recognised in the period in which receipt is probable. v) v) Administration fees are recognised in the financial period in which receipt is probable. vi) Revenue grants are recognised as income when there is evidence of entitlement to the grant, receipt is probable and quantifiable and when any donor-imposed conditions regarding entitlement have been met.

**THE BRITISH SPORTS TRUST** 

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 

vii) Donations are recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. 

Income tax recoverable in respect of covenanted or gift aid donations is recognised when it has been received from HM Revenue and Customs. 

## **Deferred income** 

Revenue grants that are received subject to donor-imposed conditions outside of the control of the Trust are only recognised as income when the conditions are met.  Grants received before conditions have been fulfilled are carried forward as deferred income. 

## **Expenditure and basis of allocation of costs** 

All expenditure is included on an accruals basis and is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay for expenditure.  Expenditure is categorised according to its nature and purpose having regard to the Trust’s status as a charity: 

- costs of raising funds include the salaries, direct expenditure, and overhead costs associated with promotion of the Trust. 

- cost of charitable activities in furtherance of the Trust’s objectives, the provision of facilities, courses and training programmes, includes salary, property and other costs of running and administering the Trust.  It also includes all costs associated with delivering specific projects. 

- governance costs include the legal and administrative costs associated with ensuring that all legal and statutory obligations of the Trust are met. 

Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of the resources. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Only assets with a value in excess of £250 are capitalised. 

The cost of tangible fixed assets is written off in equal instalments over their expected useful lives to their estimated residual value as follows: 

Computer equipment - 3 - 5 years (see below) 

Included within computer equipment, are website development costs which represent the design and content cost associated with the development of The British Sport Trust’s website.  They are capitalised only to the extent that they lead to the creation of an enduring asset delivering benefits at least equal to the amount capitalised.  They are recorded in the balance sheet in the year in which they are incurred. Such costs are amortised over their useful economic life of 4 years. 

## **Investments** 

The Charity has an investment in the following wholly owned subsidiaries: 

|**Name**|**Status**|**Company number**|
|---|---|---|
|Sports Leaders UK Limited|Dormant|05620594|
|SQL Skills Limited|Dormant|05620595|
|Leadership Skills Foundation|Dormant|14634709|

**THE BRITISH SPORTS TRUST** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023** 

**1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially shown in the financial statements at market value. Movements in the market values of investments are shown as unrealised gains and losses in the Statement of Financial Activities. Profits and losses on the realisation of investments are shown as realised gains and losses in the Statement of Financial Activities. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated between sales proceeds and their opening carrying values or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

## **Financial Instruments** 

The company only enters into basic financial instruments that results in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade debtors, amounts owed by group companies, other debtors, trade creditors and other creditors. Financial assets are measured at amortised cost and are assessed at the end of each reporting period. Financial liabilities are measured at the present value of future cash flows and subsequently measured at amortised cost. 

## **Debtors** 

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

## **Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments. 

## **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. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Funds held by the Trust are: 

- Unrestricted funds – funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees. 

- Designated funds – unrestricted funds that have been earmarked by the trustees for particular projects. 

- Restricted funds – funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the Trust. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

## **Taxation** 

The British Sports Trust is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2012 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.  Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 Corporation Tax Act 2012 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. 

## **Operating leases** 

Operating lease rentals are charged to the statement of financial activities on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. 

## **Pension benefits** 

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees.  The costs of the scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as they fall due. 

## **Employee benefits** 

Short term employee benefits including holiday pay are recognised as an expense in the period in which the service is received. Termination benefits are accounted for on an accrual basis and in line with FRS 102.
