TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charitable Company for the year from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023. The Annual report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).

Since the Charitable Company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.

Objectives and activities

Policies and objectives

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.

The principal object of the Charitable Company is to advance the art and science of critical care nursing, in particular, the education and training of nurses and other health care workers caring for critically ill and dependent patients for the public benefit.

Activities undertaken to achieve objectives

The Charitable Company promotes public benefit by providing educational and training opportunities for critical care nurses, thus ensuring that patients will receive a superior standard of care from nurses and other health care workers. As this treatment is received by those patients of the NHS, people in poverty are not excluded from the opportunity to benefit.

Achievements and performance

Review of activities

In 2024 the organisation achieved a range of developments and activities. These include:

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Achievements and performance (continued)

Investment policy and performance

The Charitable Company has an active trading subsidiary, BACCN (UK) Limited, that currently organises conferences for nurses and other health care professionals in support of the charitable company's objects. When there are accumulated profits of the subsidiary these are gifted to the Charitable Company. The subsidiary contributed £68,562 (2023: £6,720) to the Charitable Company in the year under gift aid. Further details of the performance of the subsidiary can be found in the financial statements of the subsidiary company.

Financial review

Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charitable Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

Reserves policy

The Charitable Company reviews its levels of reserves each year with the Treasurer and the National Board, in order to ensure that the level of free reserves (that is those which are not invested in fixed assets, designated for specific purposes or otherwise committed) is appropriate to meeting the Charitable Company’s needs effectively.

A sufficient level of free reserves needs to be maintained to ensure that resources are available to provide grants or scholarships as required, as well as to cover at least six months forecast costs for the national and Regional Committees. In addition, at the year end it is necessary to hold sufficient funds to finance the forthcoming Annual Conference. The Treasurer and National Board consider that the appropriate level of reserves should be approximately £200,000 (2023 - £200,000). This figure is in line with previous years as financial performance of the Charitable Company remains relatively stable. The Trustees will continue to monitor reserves levels.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of The British Association of Critical Care Nurses ('the Charitable Company')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charitable Company for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the Trustees of the Charitable Company (and its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Charitable Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the Charitable Company's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the Charitable Company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charitable Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].

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.

This report is made solely to the Charitable Company's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charitable Company's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose.

The address of its registered office is disclosed in the Reference and Administrative Details section of these financial statements.

2. Accounting policies

The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charitable Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Charitable Company has net current assets and no need for finance. Based on this the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charitable Company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

2.5 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charitable Company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.

2.6 Investments

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of financial activities.

Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment.

2.7 Debtors

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

2.8 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

2.9 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charitable Company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
