STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT (continued)
Organisational Structure
The trustees are each elected for a period of three or four years by the full membership of the Association. Having been elected as trustees they serve on the Board as ordinary members, President, Honorary Secretary or Honorary Treasurer. The President usually serves a one-year term as President Elect, a two-year term as President and then a further one-year term as Past President, making up a four-year term of office. Elections are held annually with usually three or four places becoming vacant each year, thus staggering replacement of trustees to provide some continuity. The Chief Executive Officer subsumes the role of Company Secretary and attends the Board as a nonvoting member.
A number of standing committees, ad-hoc committees and working groups are made up of trustees and other members of the Association and have a Board member as Chair or Co-Chair to satisfy the requirements within the Memorandum and Articles of Association. These committees and groups usually operate under specific terms of reference and with delegated functions as approved by the Board. Each committee and group have its decisions ratified by the Board. Respective committees and groups operating throughout the reporting period were:
-
e Standards Committee
-
e CBT Practitioner Accreditation Committee
-
e Course Accreditation Committee
-
e Finance Committee
-
e Human Resource Committee
-
e Branch Liaison Committee
-
e Conference Strategy Committee
-
e Editorial Board
-
e Fellowship Committee e Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee
All standing committees combine with the Board of Trustees to form a National Committees Forum (NCF), which meets twice a year in addition to the Annual General Meeting (AGM).
The trustees meet at least five times a year as a Board meeting, plus attending NCF meetings in addition to the AGM. Many committees, groups and the trustees also conduct business through suitable electronic means such as email exchanges and video conference calls. New trustees attend an induction programme. The first face-to-face business meeting for the whole Board is normally held in September. This year it was held in November following the later September start to the governance year.
Related parties
Trustees are required to declare an interest (either direct or indirect) if they are involved in any activities which may compromise their role as a trustee and a monitoring mechanism is in place. All related party transactions during the year have been disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT (continued)
Principal risks and uncertainties
The risks and uncertainties faced by the charity include the Covid-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, the current economic climate and changing healthcare regulation. Increasing demand and associated cost of provision of membership and registration to CBT Register (UK) are also matters requiring ongoing consideration.
Risk assessment and management
The trustees have assessed the major strategic and business risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operational finances of the charity and are satisfied that the systems established to ensure regular reports are produced and that necessary steps can be taken to address any issues arising are sufficient to mitigate the charity's exposure to major risks. The trustees regularly perform a thorough risk assessment of all aspects of the charity's activities and implement risk management strategies where necessary.
Covid-19 impact statement
The Association previously rolled out remote working for all employees quickly following the public announcement that “working from home” was recommended for those who could manage it. Following this recommendation assessments were carried out to ensure staff could work safely from home and the means procured to make this possible. Ensuring good staff communication channels were maintained has helped mitigate against risk that might arise from remote working over a prolonged period. Awareness and maintenance of staff wellbeing is increasingly important. Surveys and other feedback indicate good staff morale was maintained and the likes of previously reduced annual absenteeism was maintained. Head Office accommodation was previously downsized, remaining within the same office complex. One staff member was furloughed over the reporting period. Every reasonable effort was made to ensure that the membership offer was not undermined due to remote working and that our obligations as a registered charity were observed.

REVIEW OF THE WORK OF THE ASSOCIATION 2021/22
Overview
The Association was mindful of the strategic plan launched previously and the more immediate demands placed on it from the impact of Covid-19. The impact of Covid-19 was still reshaping and impacting the operating environments relevant to the company which remained focused largely on short-term strategy to ensure it was able to carry on operations with minimal detrimental impact until towards the end of the reporting period. Consideration was then being given to any amendments to strategy required to sustain the company over the longer term whilst accounting for change. Staff generally worked remotely from home and Head Office was downsized towards the end of the previous reporting period. One staff member was furloughed over the reporting period.
The Board fully intends to reach its realigned strategic aims and objectives whilst embracing positive change and wishes to demonstrate it is corporately responsible and takes the obligations it has to its critical stakeholders seriously. Further public representatives have been recruited to our standing committees reporting to Board. The Association has reduced packaging on member related products and provided Equality, Diversity and Inclusion training for all staff, Board and standing committee chairs. An Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Standing Committee is being formed and the Association is becoming a White Ribbon Supporter Organisation. All are examples of progress. In the coming period the Association will investigate how it might meet the challenge of being carbon neutral.
This last year has seen a continuation in annual growth in membership but the growth in the proportion of accredited members has slowed.
At the end of April 2022 there had been net growth by nearly 1,700 members over the financial year to 16,243, showing growth of nearly 9%. The previous two years rates of annual growth were around 14%. Previously, annual growth was around 5%. The growth in student members continued to 2,168, largely relative to increases in accredited courses. A total of 626 Wellbeing Practitioner members joined to gain registration to CBT Register (UK) and Ireland. The Association had entered into a collaborative agreement with the British Psychological Society regarding this provision in the previous reporting period.
At the end of April 2022 there were 9,304 accredited members, increasing from 8,243 previously. This remains at 57% of total membership, as the previous year, and shows 12% increase in accredited members. The addition of registered Wellbeing Practitioner members brings the total of organisation members on CBT Register (UK) and Ireland to 9,930. The outcome to the application to the Professional Standards Authority to attain an Accredited Voluntary Register was further delayed following changes to assessment criteria requiring a partial resubmission. The outcome is expected in the following period.
More staff were recruited to support our expanding operating schedule. The full staff complement reached 23.97 full-time equivalents (FTE) at the end of this financial year, with 0.6 additional allowance for maternity cover. The previous reporting period showed 22.35 full-time equivalents (FTE). Further recruitment is anticipated to meet the growing demands and expectations of the organisation. However, the Board are mindful of the relationship between increasing annual cost of overheads and annual financial turnover and seek to ensure cost of employment is limited to 50%.

| Totalstaffmembers | 23.97 |
There are also ten Accreditors working as sub-contractors processing accreditation applications.
The demand for good quality CPD continued over the reporting period. Head Office continued organising the delivery of a core online CPD programme. Twelve webinar events attracted 2,513 registrations and there was a further 5,000 post-event online views. Branches and Special Interest Groups provided 21 online workshops attracting 960 registrations. These events are not recorded.
Several large and significant IT projects have continued to prove challenging. The CRM-based membership database has not provided the operational benefit and efficiency hoped for. The decision has been made, as the contract with the provider draws to expiry, to research the marketplace with a new specification in order to try and the longer-term strategic capability desired.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
The financial year ending 30th April 2022 realised an operating surplus of nearly £700,000 (2021: £372,000). This result shows a higher surplus compared to forecast following an increase in income but a more significant decrease in expenditure than expected.
Financial income for the organisation increased to £2.248 million compared to the previous year of £1.816 million. No increases were considered by the Board for annual membership subscriptions or accreditation fees. Low level registration fees were introduced for the 626 Wellbeing Practitioner members.
The annual Summer Conference was held in Belfast, hosting the first conference in the city since the Covid-19 restrictions were lifted. The company underwrote and assisted in the organisation of the conference hosted by the Irish Association of Behavioural Cognitive Psychotherapy for the European Association of Behavioural Cognitive Therapy. Managing to deliver this four-day hybrid event to an incredibly high standard of quality was a remarkable feat. The event contributed a surplus of £56,561 though this would have been nearer a financial break-even except for Visit Belfast funding in support of the event.
Overall expenditure increased by around £104,000. This included increases in staff salary overhead of nearly £80,000 following increases in permanent staff recruitment and related support costs to meet emerging demand. The cost of rent was nearly halved as Head Office space was downsized following the Covid-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic. The cost of governance increased as Covid-19 restrictions lifted as did support costs.
Membership Subscriptions 2022/23
The Board is committed to ensuring sufficient financial reserves are accumulated to meet known obligations whilst keeping access to enough cash reserves to cover six months operating costs. In addition, further investment in staffing is required to meet demand arising for Wellbeing Practitioner registration and wider accreditation, to support and enhance the complaints service, improve online offer and website presence and developa governance model. The economic climate proves difficult for many charitable and not-for-profit sector operators due to the legacy of the Covid-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic and the impact of rising inflation. The organisation remains committed to providing a membership package reflecting good value-for-money and of increasing public benefit. The Board is not proposing any increase in membership subscriptions for 2022-2023 for a third consecutive year. All annual rates of membership subscription will again remain unchanged. Therefore, the standard full annual membership subscription will remain at £82.00. The Board believes the organisation continues to offer a membership package that is good value for money and significantly lower than can be found in other comparable organisations.

Investments Selection Policy
After taking financial advice and in accordance with the Articles of Association, the trustees invested £50,000 in long term investment funds in August 2007. £15,000 was invested with Kames Ethical Equity Fund (which evolved into Aegon Ethical Equity Fund) and £35,000 was invested with F&C Stewardship Income Fund (which evolved into BMO Responsible UK Income Fund). The trustees considered that the charity needed to achieve long-term capital appreciation and income. The Board will continue to reinvest the accumulated balance on both investment accounts until a situation is reached where the Board wishes to use the income from the investment as required. In the year to 30th April 2022 the value of investments decreased by £954 following an increase of 16,884 in the previous year.
The ethical investment policy agreed by the trustees is:
The company adopts an ethical investment policy, which is in line with its responsibilities as a registered charity, and which complements the aims and objectives of the organisation. In this respect it seeks to invest with companies who have proven socially responsible portfolios and to have its investments managed by financial advisors who are ethically led with a demonstrable record of sound financial control and planning.
-
In this respect the policy statement reflects the aims and objectives of our charity:
-
The Board considers ethical investment is consistent with the aims and objectives of the organisation.
-
The Board adopts a policy of supportive ethical investment. That is, investing in companies with a commitment to responsible business practices, positive products and services. The Board does not consider it appropriate to invest by negative screening.
-
Whilst investing ethically, such a policy is not in conflict with its requirement to maximise funds for the benefit of the organisation and ensure that such a policy does not involve a risk of significant financial detriment.
The remaining funds fluctuate throughout the year and are held in interest-bearing deposit accounts.
During the year as these funds fluctuate, it is agreed by the trustees that the money could be invested on the Money Market for fixed short-term periods (seven days upwards, but more usually for three-month terms) to attract higher interest rates and to meet their requirements to generate income and secure capital values. The Finance Manager, in consultation with the Honorary Treasurer, will accordingly decide the amount and period of investment to allow sufficient funds to remain in the current accounts for immediate use.
Grant-Making Policy
During 2010 a Research Fund was set up with the ultimate objective of making grants for research relevant to the objectives of the Association. The trustees have previously approved such grants after inviting applications from members. There were no new research grants approved over the financial years’ 2017-2018 to 2021-2022.
Although the Research Grant remained unavailable in 2021-2022 the Board is planning to relaunch this fund for the application of members in the charity's 50th anniversary year.

FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)
Reserves
The trustees have reviewed the level of free reserves, which are unrestricted funds not invested in fixed assets held by the charity. They are satisfied that the level of reserves is adequate to comfortably cover six months expected operating costs if needed.
At the end of the financial year the amount of reserves was £1,616,861 (2021: £918,326). At the same date there were no designated funds.
Funding
The trustee directors are satisfied that the charity's assets are adequate to fulfil its obligations. The main source of funding continues to be annual subscriptions from members. Accreditation fees are also charged to those members who apply for this recognition. Membership subscriptions may be increased with membership approval to meet the costs of additional or expanded member services or to support planned future activity. The trustee directors carefully consider what level of subscriptions and fees members will accept without withdrawing from membership. The charity has exceeded a 92 per cent renewal rate for the last 11 years and more new members join each year than are required to cover organisational costs though costs are ever increasing due to extending the membership offer and inflationary pressures.
Accreditation fees are charged at rates to ensure the overall cost of providing accreditation services is comfortably covered. The trustees review these costs and can adjust these fees accordingly. Registration fees are taken over the period to permit recognition of CBT Register (UK) for low intensity workers for the first time.
Selling of advertising through the Association’s media is another supplementary revenue stream. The trustees are seeking to increase the availability of robust and sustainable income streams that are in keeping with the objects of the organisation through launching appropriate forms of accreditation or registration to CBT Register (UK), special advertising supplements and advertising through the internet and social media.
Public benefit
The trustees are confident that the charity offers services of real and practical use to the local and national population and therefore complies with the responsibility placed on all charities under the Charities Act 2011 to demonstrate a public benefit.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR BEHAVIOURAL AND COGNITIVE PSYCHOTHERAPIES (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (the charitable company) for the year ended 30" April 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes, 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 United Kingdom 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 30" April 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources 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 charitable company 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 directors’ 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 directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR BEHAVIOURAL AND COGNITIVE PSYCHOTHERAPIES (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) ee
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information.
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.
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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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 Report of the Trustees, which includes the Directors’ Report, prepared for the purposes of company law for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
- the Directors’ Report included within the Report of the Trustees 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 Report of the Trustees.
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:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us, or
-
« the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns, or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit, or
-
- certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made, 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 exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR BEHAVIOURAL AND COGNITIVE PSYCHOTHERAPIES (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities set out on page 13, 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.
Our 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, but 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:
-
Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, we considered the following: - the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance; - — results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities;
-
- any matters we identified having made enquiries of management about their policies and procedures relating to: > identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
-
detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
-
the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations;
-
the matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)
We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the company operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act and local tax legislation.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements, but compliance with which may be fundamental to the company's ability to operate.
Audit response to risks identified As a result of performing the above our procedures to respond to the risks identified included the following:
-
reviewing the financial statements disclosure and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
-
- — enquiring of management about actual and potential litigation and claims; - performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risk of material misstatement due to fraud;
-
in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR BEHAVIOURAL AND COGNITIVE PSYCHOTHERAPIES (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30" April 2022
A
t. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Company information
The British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales. The Company number and registered office can be found in the Trustees report.
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the company will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Although these financial statements cover a period which has included Covid-19 (Coronavirus) lockdowns the company has still generated a profit and the trustees are confident in the current and future operating performance of the charity. However, there is an uncertainty in respect of any future Covid-19 (Coronavirus) lockdowns and whether the government will continue to provide any ongoing support. Despite the uncertainty the trustees have concluded that the charity will continue to be a going concern for the foreseeable future, being a period of more than twelve months following the approval of these financial statements.
As a consequence the financial statements continue to be prepared on a going concern basis.
Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with 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 United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1% January 2015) ~ (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.
The British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies 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.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Income is the amount derived from ordinary activities and is stated after trade discounts, other sales taxes and net of Value Added Tax.
Membership subscriptions and accreditations are accounted for when due. All such income is deferred when it is received in advance of the period to which it relates.
All other income is recognised on an accruals basis, with income relating to events after the year end being deferred.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) for the year ended 30" April 2022
a. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Resources expended
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.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management and administration of the charity.
All support costs are allocated between the activity expenditure categories on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Support costs are apportioned on an appropriate basis e.g. time spent, floor areas, or estimated usage.
Grants Payable
Each year the charity makes grants for research to be carried out into behavioural and cognitive psychotherapies. Any liability is only recognised when an obligation arises.
Branch transactions
Branch transactions are included in full in the financial statements.
Intangible fixed assets and amortisation
Intangible fixed assets represent expenditure developing the website and membership database. Amortisation is provided so as to write off the cost of the asset, less its estimated residual value, over its expected useful life of as follows:
==> picture [277 x 24] intentionally omitted <==
Assets under construction are only depreciated when they become operational.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
All tangible fixed assets are capitalised at cost. Depreciation is provided so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over its expected useful life as follows: Office equipment 15% reducing balance basis Computer equipment 50% reducing balance basis
Investments
Investments are stated at market value at the balance sheet date. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on any revaluations or disposals throughout the year.

BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR BEHAVIOURAL AND COGNITIVE PSYCHOTHERAPIES (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) for the year ended 30° April 2022
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Taxation
The company is a registered charity and is therefore exempt from Income Tax and Corporation Tax under the provisions of Section 505(1) of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustee directors.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds which have been designated for specific purposes by the trustee directors.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Pensions costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. Contributions payable for the year are charged in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Operating leases
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.
Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price.
Significant judgements and accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the Balance Sheet date and the amounts reported for revenue and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.
The main area of estimation is in respect of accruals and the useful lives of fixed assets. The depreciation rates used can be identified in the fixed asset accounting policy above.
