CHAIR'S STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
The chair presents her statement for the year.
IThe Un￿rtaIntieS we faced during the COVID pandemic are unforgettable and in 2022 while much of the worfd
was recovering from the impact of the pandemic, the Association still felt ils effects as China continued lo
experience multiple lockdowns throughout the year. As the world started to adjust and estsblish new ways of
working, we were all impacted by the war in Ukraine, which brought into focus new issues such as inflation, rising
interest rates, etc. However, the Association saw a marginal increase in revenue of 6.5Yo between FY21 and
FY22.
Like many professional bodies, we have learnt a great deal during these extraordinary times by listening to and
consulting with our students, Members, partners, industry, and other experts, as we continued lo grow and
reinforce our work, in line with our charitable purpose and strategic objectives.
The Association continued to build and make significant progress in establishing better internal processes and
completed the full upgrade of our internal IT and infrastructure systems. The upgrade of our IT systems was a
critical component of our digital first approach, following on from the pandemic.
The Association adopted a hybrid working model, consislenl with the need to deliver services to our students and
Members and maintaining the important work of the Association. As part of the new normal, the Association has
fully embraced education technology and has made provisions for our global leaching cenlres lo continue
delivering theoretical aspects of the course using hybrid teaching methods. l am grateful for the ongoing
resilience of Gem-A staff through these internal changes.
In addition to the delivery of our flagship gemmology courses and in responding lo the rapid demand for online
education in 2022, we successfully launched GemlNTRO, which is the Association's first fully accredited Ofqual
level 2 online qualification. This qualification is targeted towards those individuals that are new or beginning their
career in our industry and would like a wholesome and comprehensive introduction to the world of gemstones.
The Members of the Council and Trustees have been very pleased with the feedback received on this course
and ils initial response. We successfully entered multiple reseller agreements to launch GemlNTRO in North
America, India, and the Middle East. In 2022, we also began the translation of GemlNTRO in Chinese Traditional
lo launch the course in Greater China.
In 2022 we made further progress in formalising the estsblishmenl of the Gem-A USA entity, and we are excited
about the progress that has been made and we are slralegically reviewing opportunities to establish new ATCS
and training partners lo grow our education provision in this region.
The Association allended the Tucson show for the first lime Sin￿ 2020 and we were delighted lo welcome our
members, partners, and friends to the annual Gem-A Bash, which took place in collaboration with the Accredited
Gemmologists Association and the Canadian Gemmological Association. The annual bash was supported and
sponsored by 100Q/o Natural Ltd. This year we also attended the HardRock Summit (The Denver Gem and
Mineral show) in September 2022, which was attended by many of our partners and members and provided an
opportunity for us lo interact with the industry and promote our education and membership services in USA.
Looking lo the future, the Association continues lo identify new regions lo grow and advance its education and
membership offering, while continuing to support and further develop its presence in existing regions globally.
The Association's flagship publication, The Journal of Gemmology, under the editorship of Brendan Laurs
continues to flourish and is highly regarded internationally, with a print run of over 2,500 per quarter with all back
issues being available online. We continued publishing Gems & Jewellery magazine online and this publication
continues lo be popular with wider ranging articles from a growing number of specialists across the
gemmological fields, under the editorship of Jennifer Lynn Archuletta. The Members of the Council and Trustees
have made the decision to continue publication of Gems & Jewellery online for the foreseeable future.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT ICONTINUEDI
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
During 2022, the Members of the Council and Board of Trustees have continued to support the Association in
providing strategic oversight for Gem A and are pleased to report that we have successfully managed the impact
of the pandemic and current global Un￿rtaIntieS on our financial performance for the year. In 2022 we
commenced work on reviewing and updating the Association's strategy, which was last reviewed in 2020 during
the peak of the pandemic. As part of this review the Members of the Council and the Board of Trustees worked
with senior management in reviewing and updating the Association's strategic objectives and priorities. Our
priorities contain some exciting new developments including a brand-new website, a portal for our members, and
completing the update of our gemmology and diamond courses.
The Members of the Council and Trustees can report that the Association has had a worthy financial
performance considering global events and is now well positioned lo develop itself in established regions and
explore new ventures. While there are many challenges still facing the Association, laryely due to current political
and economic landscape, especially in key regions where the Association is very active, we are confident in our
ability to withstand these issues as we continue to provide world-class education and membership services
globally.
I give credit to both our CEO and the continued efforts and professionalism of Gem-A staff who I would like lo
thank for not only their hard work, but also their passion, resilien￿, and commitment to the Association. The
Board would also like to recognise the global ATC'S, tutors and our examiners who have once again shown their
outstanding commitment in maintaining our unparalleled high standards and course offerings that define us. I
would like to thank members of the Board who generously give their lime and advice freely and perform an
essential role in overseeing Gem-A on behalf of all ils stakeholders. For my own part, it has been a privilege lo
play a direct and active role in continuing lo support the Association through a very challenging period and l am
pleased lo say that Gem-A remains a going concern. Looking forward, 2023 and 2024 will continue to be
challenging, however, through actions taken, and our strategic priorities, the Association will continue lo remain
adaptsble, identifying new opportunities and pursuing growth in new areas. Fundamentally while we may need lo
continue lo pivot in the short term overseen by the Board and under the leadership of our CEO Alan Hart, we
remain confi'dent in the Association's ability to continue lo flourish and grow. Members are at the heart of the
Association. We exist to support our members through the different stages of their professional careers, from
gemmology students through lo experts and leaders within the industry. The support of our community, i.e., our
members, students, and strategic partners, has been invaluable and I would like to offer my deepest gratitude lo
everyone who has been involved with the Association over our long history and I look forward to your continuing
support and partnership in the limes ahead.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GEMMOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION OF
GREAT BRITAIN ICONTINUEDI
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
Auditorfs responsibilities ft>r 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 lo issue an auditorfs 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 IUKI 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 lo influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial slatemenls.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures
in line with our responsibilities, Ou￿1ned above, lo delect material misstatements in respect of irregularities,
including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of delecling irregularities, including fraud is
detailed below..
the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence,
capabilities and skills lo identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations.,
we identified the laws and regulations applicable lo the company through discussions with directors and
other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experien￿ of the education sector,.
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the
financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006 and laxalion
legislation-,
we assessed the exlenl of compliance wlh the laws and regulations identified above through making
enquiries of Management and inspecting legal correspondence", and
identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained
alert to instances of non<0mplian￿ throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including
obtsining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by..
making enquiries of management as lo where they considered there was SUS￿ptibl1ify lo fraud, their
knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud,. and
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and
regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we..
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships",
tested a sample of journal entries lo identify unusual transactions.,
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were
indicative of potential bias,. and
investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures
which included, but were not limited lo..
agreeing financial statement disclosures to undedying supporting documentation.,
reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governan¢e',
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims," and
reviewing correspondence with HM Revenue and Customs and the Charity Commission.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GEMMOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION OF
GREAT BRITAIN ICONTINUEDI
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Icontinuedl
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and
regulations are from fi'nancial transactions, the less likely il is that we would become aware of non-compliance.
Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required lo identify non-compliance with laws and regulations
lo enquiry of the Iruslees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if
any.
Material misstatements that arise due lo fraud can be harder lo delecl than those that arise from error as they
may involve deliberate COn￿alment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial
Reporting Council's website al.. ww.frc.or
.uklauditorsres
onsibilities. This description forms part of our
auditor's report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part
16 of the Companies Act 2006, and lo the charitable company's Iruslees, as a body, Part 4 of the Charities
(Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might stale to the
charitsble company's members those matters we are required to stste lo them in an auditor's report and for no
other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility lo anyone other
than the charitable company and its members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
Accounting policies Icontinuedl
2.3 Income
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income
11 be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Income arising through providing educational courses and course materials as well as membership
and subscription income is re¢(￿nised on an accruals basis wth amounts re￿iVed in advance being
shown In deferred income.
Other trading income consists of the sale of scientific instruments, journals and amounts receivable
for goods and services, including licensing fees, provided in the normal course of business, net of
discounts, VAT and other sales related taxes and is measured al the fair value of the consideration
received or receivable. Other trading income is recognised at the point of sale.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Association has
been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount.
The recognition of income from I￿acleS is dependent on establishing entitlement. the probabilty of
receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of
entiUement lo a legacy exists when the charity has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them
(through kllo￿edge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefaclorl and the executor
is satisfied that the propety in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of
a legacy musl be recognised when il is probable that Il will be received and the fair value of the
amount receivable, which wll generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed to the charity,
can be reliably measured.
2.4 Expenditure
All resources expended are recognised on an accruals basis.
Support costs are apportioned by analysing the level of administration b'me required for each
charitable activity.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly relate to
charitable activities. Support costs include back office Costs, finance, personnel, payroll and
governance costs which support the charity's programmes and activities. These costs have been
allocated between the expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have
been allocated are set out in note 6 and 7.
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or conslru¢live obligation lo transfer economi¢ benefit
to a third paty, it is probable that a transfer of economi¢ 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. Dire¢l costs atlributsble lo a single a¢livity are allocated directly
to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are
not atlributsble lo a single a¢livity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with
the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation
charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on direcUy undertaking the activities which further the
group's objectives, as well as any associated support cost5.

2.5 Intangible assets and amortisation
Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible
assets are measured al cost less any accumulated amortisalion and any accumulated impairment
losses.
Amortisalion Is provided on intsngible assets al rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset on
a straight-line basis over its expected useful life.
Amortisalion is provided on the following bases..
Website costs
Course development
33 0/0 reducing balance
straighl-line over 3 years
2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the revaluation model,
tangible fixed assets whose fair value can be measured reliably shall be carried at a revalued
amount, being their fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated
depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Freehold property is initially recognised al cost. After recognition, under the revaluation model,
freehold property whose fair value Can be measured reliably shall be carried at a revalued amount,
being their fair value at the dale of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and
subsequent a¢¢umulaled impairment losses.
Revaluations are made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ
materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the end of the reporting date.
Fair values are determined from markel-based evidence by appraisal that is nomialty undertaken by
professionally qualified valuers. If there is no market-based evidence of fair value because of the
specialised nature of the tsngible fixed asset and it is rarely sold, except as part of a contributing
business, a charity may need to estimate fair value using an income or depreciated replacement cost
approach.
Gains and losses on revaluation are recognised in the consolidated statement of financial a¢livilies,
th a separate revaluation reserve being shown in the Statement of funds note.
Al each reporting date the charity assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such
indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined to be the higher of its fair value
less costs to sell and ils value In use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount
exceeds the recoverable amount.

the propety to a high standard and accordingly the property has a high residual value and an
indefinite useful life. Any depreciation that would be required would be immaterial. An annual
impairment review Is conducted on the propety and in the event that an impairment was identified,
this would be recognised as an impairment loss in the income and expenditure account.
No depreciation is provided in respect of Examination and Teaching Collections of Gems and Stones
as the charity has a policy of maintaining the colle¢lions to a high standard and accordingly the
Collections have a high residual value and an indefinite useful life. Any depreciation that would be

been impaired.
Depreciation is provided on the following bases..
Freehold land
Fixtures and fittings
Teaching stone collections

The Association, a registered charity. is not liable to income tax or corporation lax on income derived
from its charitable activities, as il falls within the various exemptions available lo registered charities.
The Charity satisfies the lesls set out In the Finance Act 2010 and therefore Il 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 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act
1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively lo Charitable purposes.
The trading subsidiary donates an amount equal to its annual taxable profit. if any, under Gift Aid to
its parent company, The Gemmologi¢al Association of Great Britain. During the year ended 31
December 2022, the donation amounted to £140,724 12021.. £156,063) and relates lo the profits
earned in 2022 by the subsidiary.
The trading subsidiaries adopt the following policies in respect of lax. The tax expense for the year
comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the corresponding profit and loss account,
except that a charge attributable to an Item of income and expense recognised as other
comprehensive income or lo an item recognised directly in equity Is also recognised in other
comprehensive income or direcUy in equity respectively.
Current lax is the amount of income lax payable in respect of taxable profit for the year or prior years.
The current income tax charge is ¢al¢ulaled on the basis of tsx rates and laws that have been
ena¢led or substsntively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the company
operates and generates income.
Deferred tsx balances are re¢ognised in respe¢l of all timing differences that have originated but not
reversed by the balance sheet date, except that.
The recognition of deferred lax assets is limited lo the extent that il is probable that they will be
recovered against the reversal of deferred tsx liabilities or other future taxable profits., and
Any deferred lax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax
allowances have been mel.
Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of
business combinations, when deferred tsx is recognised on the differences between the fair values of
assets acquired and the future lax deductions available for them and the differences be￿een the fair
values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred lax is determined
using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
2.11 Financial instruments
The group has elected to apply Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of fi'nancial instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the group becomes paty lo the
contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according lo the substance of the conlraclual
arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in
the assets of the group after deducting all of its liabilities.
The group's policies for ils major classes of financial assets and financial liabilities are set out below.

terms or is financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate.
Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any
impairment.
Financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, bank loans and loans from fellow group
companies are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a
financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured al the present value of the future
payments discounted al a market rate of Interest for a similar debt instrument. Financing transactions
are those in which payment Is deferred beyond normal business terms or is financed al a rate of
interest that 15 not a market rate.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortlsed cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets measured al cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting
period for objective evidence of impairment. If obje¢live evidence of impairment is found, an
impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account.
For financial assets measured al cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the
difference be￿een the asset's Carrying amount and the best estimate of the amount the group would
receive for the asset if it were lo be sold at the reporting date.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference
belween the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted al the
asset's original effective interest rate. If the financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount
rale for measuring any Impairment loss is the current effecb.ve Interest rate determined under the
contract.
If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was
recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carying amount does
not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the Impairment not previously been
recognised. The impairment reversal is re¢ognised in profit or loss.

2.15 Foreign currencies
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange
rates at the dales of the Iransa¢lions.
Al each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-
monetary Items measured al historical cost are translated using the exchange rate al the date of the
transaction and non-monetsry Items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate
when fair value was determined.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the
translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in other comprehensive income as
qualifying cash flow hedges.
2.16 Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial stslements incorporate those of The Gemmologic81 Association of Great
Britsin and all of its subsidiaries li.e. entities that the group controls through Ils power to govem the
financial and operating policies so as lo obtain economic benefits). Subsidiaries acquired during the
year are consolidated using the acquisition method. Their results are incorporated from the dale that
control passes.
All financial statements are made up to 31 December 2022. All inlra-group Iransa¢lions, balances
and unrealised gains on transactions between group Companies are eliminated on ¢onsolidalion.
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transacb.on provides evidence of an impairment of
the asset transferred.
Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded al the rates of exchange
prevailing al the dales of the transactions. At each reporting end dale, monetary assets and liabilities
that are denominated in foreign currencies are relransl8ted al the rates prevailing on the reporting
end date. Gains and losses arising on translation are included in the Consolidated statement of
financial a¢livilies for the period.
The accounts consolidate the results of the charity and its wholly owned subsidiaries, on a line by line
basis. A separate statement of financial activities for the charity itself Is not presented because the
charity has taken advantage of the exemptions afforded by section 408 of the Companies A¢1 2006.
The charity has also taken advantage of the exemption afforded by section 1. 12 of FRS102 in not
preparing a separate statement of cash flow for The Gemmological Associab'on of Great Britain as a
separate entity.

The Charity owns a library of books and a collection of gems which meet the definition of heritage assets.
The Trustees are of the opinion that there would be no benefit lo the Charity in incurring costs lo value
the collections. These heritage assets have therefore not been recognised in the accounts.
The freehold property was valued on 10 July 2023 by James Berfin & Associates, an independent and
RICS qualified valuer, using market based evidence for similar properties sold in the area.
The group has adopted a F)olicy of revaluation for tangible fixed assets. Had these assets been measured
at historic cost, the carrying values would have been as follows".
