With over 40 years of experience in the design and delivery of respiratory physiology services, ARTP provides the only national, professionally recognised, qualifications in Respiratory Function Testing and Spirometry in the UK.
ARTP also recommends standards for the design and delivery of respiratory physiology services through position papers from ARTP Working Groups on the structure, function and content of respiratory physiology and sleep facilities and services in the UK.
An important function of the ARTP is the provision of opportunities for Continuing Professional Development. The ARTP organises an annual Conference, meetings and other educational courses on many respiratory and sleep physiology topics. This activity delivers continuing professional development/education for healthcare professionals and healthcare support workers furthering ARTP's charitable objectives of advancing knowledge and standards in the area of Respiratory & Sleep Physiology for the benefit of both our members and their patients.
Nationally ARTP informs and influences major organisations about the delivery of respiratory physiology services. Furthermore, ARTP links with equivalent national organisations around the world to deliver global standards in respiratory healthcare involving respiratory technology and physiology.
The ARTP sets standards for and administers the National Spirometry Register, hosted by the academy for Healthcare Science.

ARTP is very satisfied that the breadth and depth, as well as the level of delegate/candidate/registrant engagement with the educational programmes, registrations and professional examinations, detailed above, meet our core charitable objectives by advancing continuing professional development, assessing professional competence and promoting and maintaining standards through registration and certification.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial position**
The board of trustees is satisfied that the charity's assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in respect of each fund.
The Statement of Financial Activities show an income of £579,116 (£891,758 - 2023) and an decreased expenditure of £468,741 (£811,926 - 2023).
This equates to a net surplus of resources of a revenue nature of £110,375 (2023- £79,832).
The total funds at the year-end stands at £543,736 (£433,361 - 2023).
Free unrestricted funds amounted to £532,268 (£424,893 - 2023). Restricted funds amounted to £11,468 (£8,468 - 2023).
## **Investment policy and objectives**
Any funds invested should not exceed the reserves policy unless held for a specific purpose. All funds invested should be only be invested for 12 months or less.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity aims to retain sufficient capital funds in reserve to permit it to cover fixed, recurring annual expenditure and conduct other core activities, such as Annual Conference and other educational activities, as defined by the Governing Board for a period of 1 year in the absence of any related income over this period and uninsured loss.
In the event of a reduction in reserves below this estimated level the aim is to recover reserves as quickly as possible from annual surpluses whilst maintaining normal charitable activity.
Note: Total income reported this year of £468,741 is a significant reduction from the previous financial year (£811,926), which was noted as exceptional in the previous financial year statement due to the occurrences of 2 ARTP Annual National Conferences within the same financial year. Consequentially, there was no ARTP Annual National Conference within this financial year which significantly reduced income below the Pre-COVID average of £531,895, though this expected income reduction was offset by a one-off educational grant from Health Education England (HEE) of £82,000 to support ARTP's educational programme, accounting for which the operational income was £386,741 in line with expectations with no Conference income for the year. ARTP has a fixed/recurring income of £48,500 from membership/interest (assumed to be static). Further, there are annual costs associated with professional exams which can only be incurred if the exam takes place, as directly related to costs of assessment/marking. This equated to £20,130 in this financial year. Assuming a conservative estimate of insured recoverable costs, the target reserves are therefore currently set at £450K. Within this financial year reserves where £543,736 (£461,736 accounting for one-off HEE grant), fully recovering the reserves from the low point of £332,134 in 2020-21 resulting from the financial impact of COVID-19.
The Charity is therefore confident that this reserves policy is very robust considering the successful maintenance of net positive funds carried forward during the major real-world stress test of COVID-19.

## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 MARCH 2024**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Going concern**
ARTP is required to submit a narrative as to its status as a going concern. There are sufficient reserves that if ARTP were to continue its current spending plans and there was no further income, that could be maintained for at least another year. ARTP is therefore a going concern.
In a realistic projection however income will continue, and the main sources of income are the annual Conference, Educational courses, Professional exams and the National Spirometry Register. The budget projection is based on the assumption that there will not be significant changes to membership fees or volumes of members; that Conference will be attended in numbers equivalent to number seen in previous years; that the demand for educational courses and professional exams will continue at or above current levels and that the demand for Spirometry Registration will continue at or above the current level. ARTP is therefore confident that it will comfortably remain a going concern.
## **FUTURE PLANS**
Allowing for the lack of Conference income within the year, Income and expenditure have returned to pre-COVID averages, Therefore the Board of ARTP are confident that ARTP finances are on a sound footing going forward with the full range of educational courses resumed along with stable income from spirometry that can be expected through 2024-2025 and beyond.
The education grant from HEE will be utilised within the next 2 financial years to further enhance our educational programmes, including supporting Professional development through the qualifications equivalence programmes provided by the National School of Healthcare Science.
The Trustees of the charity are very happy with the current direction of the charity and recognise the need to engage with Professional's it represents to meet the overall aims of the charity.

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
## **Income**
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
## **Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 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 activities**
Costs of charitable activities comprise all costs incurred in the pursuit of the charitable objects of the charity. These costs, where not wholly attributable, are apportioned between the categories of charitable expenditure in addition to the direct costs.
## **Allocation and apportionment of costs**
