## **(A company limited by guarantee)**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023**
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the company for the 1 October 2022 to 30 September 2023. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) as amended by Update Bulletin 1 (effective 1 January 2015).
Since the company qualifies as small under section 383, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under The Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Director's Report) Regulations 2013 is not required.
## **a. MAIN ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN TO FURTHER THE CHARITY'S PURPOSES FOR PUBLIC BENEFIT**
The Trustees in choosing the activities which the charity will engage in have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit, and, in particular, the special guidance on charities for the advancement of religion and of education.
The selection of literature to be funded which will provide nationals with good reading material for developing their faith as well as intellect and reading skills. All these skills will help communities grow in strength and unity.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
## **a. KEY FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE INDICATORS**
Restricted funding is used for specific projects so there is always a need for unrestricted funding to enable the charity to finance its office. Overheads are kept to a minimum to reflect the bias to restricted funding in choosing projects. No charge is made by the office for managing these restricted fund projects, unless permitted by the donors.
The Trust endeavours to ensure that each individual project is fully funded for its duration or funded enough in terms of pledged monies to make it viable while further fund raising is actively pursued.
The trustees are aware of the need to make sure our key performance indicators are utilised in guiding their financial decisions.
## **b. Review of Activities**
An extension of the MOA for our previous project, The Contemporary European Turkish New Testament (CETNT), was signed to continue up to 1st March 2024 in order to complete the typesetting and other technical issues before publication. The project was finished, and the launch of this New Testament edition took place in Germany in autumn 2023 and in London in February 2024.
Presently the Trust in partnership with other trusts is involved in one project The Simplified Azari Old Testament Translation. This follows the successful publication of The Simplified Azari New Testament in April 2021. During the past year (2023) we have raised significant funds towards this project and have renewed our partnership with the Azari Book Company to see this translation realised. It is estimated that the project will take seven years to complete.
The Translation Trust is not going to be involved in the completion of The Contemporary European Turkish Old Testament, however, our previous partners in producing the New Testament will continue with this translation.
Continuing financial help was also given to another UK registered charity to support a UK worker in various Bible translation projects.

**TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023**
## **c. THE TRANSLATION SECRETARY**
The Translation secretary started work on The Contemporary European Turkish Old Testament. He completed work on preparing a base text for the book of Psalms. After this, he announced his retirement and handed in his notice to the trust. We all wish to thank him for his herculean efforts in leading the translation team for the Contemporary European Turkish Translation of the New Testament and wish him well for his future.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **a. GOING CONCERN**
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
## **b. PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES**
The Trustees have considered the ongoing impact of Covid-19 on The Translation Trust and believe its procedures are adequate as the situation continues to become more normal but will review this if necessary as the situation changes.
## **c. Reserves policy**
The company endeavours to maintain a reserves policy whereby funds equivalent to three months Support and Governance costs are held within bank accounts. The unrestricted Reserves were £21,601 at the year end and 3 months expenditure equates to £7,000 so the level of Unrestricted Reserves were sufficient. In addition, reserves are transferred from the general funds to ensure that no restricted fund produces a deficit. The Trustees consider the current level of reserves to be satisfactory, and monitor the position to ensure that the Trust will remain viable in view of the recent deficits.

## **TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023**
The Trustees (who are also directors of The Translation 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. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP;
- make judgments and accounting 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;
- 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 adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and 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.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023**
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE TRANSLATION TRUST (the 'company')**
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 30 September 2023.
This report is made solely to the 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 company's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.
## **RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT**
As the Trustees of the 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 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 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**
I have completed my examination. I can 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 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.

The company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.
The Trustees consider that the company is entitled to exemption from the requirement to have an audit under the provisions of section 477 of the Companies Act 2006 ("the Act") and members have not required the company to obtain an audit for the year in question in accordance with section 476 of the Act.
The Trustees acknowledge their responsibilities for complying with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 with respect to accounting records and the preparation of financial statements.
The financial statements were approved and authorised for issue by the Trustees on 24 June 2024 and signed on their behalf, by:
## **Mr N Prior**
The notes on pages 9 to 18 form part of these financial statements.

**(A company limited by guarantee)**
## **THE TRANSLATION TRUST**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements**
The financial statements have been prepared 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 UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The Translation Trust 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.
## **1.2 Company status**
The company is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page . In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the company.
## **1.3 Fund accounting**
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
## **1.4 Income**
All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the company is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the company has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the company, or the company is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

## **THE TRANSLATION TRUST**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)**
## **1.5 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. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity 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.
Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the company and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the company and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the company's operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the company apportioned to charitable activities.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)**
## **1.6 Reconciliation with previous Generally Accepted Accounting Practice**
In preparing these accounts, the Trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 the restatement of comparative items was required.
No restatements were required.
## **1.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation**
All assets costing more than £100 are capitalised.
Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
- Fixtures & fittings 25.00% reducing balance - Computer equipment 33.33% reducing balance
## **1.8 Interest receivable**
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
## **1.9 Foreign currencies**
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction.
Exchange gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of financial activities incorporating income and expenditure account.
## **1.10 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.
## **1.11 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.

## **THE TRANSLATION TRUST**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)**
## **1.12 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 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. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges.
## **1.13 Financial instruments**
The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
