TRUSTEES, MANAGEMENT AND THEIR INTERESTS continued

Organisational structure

The Trustees, all of whom are non-executive, meet as a Board on a regular basis to review the strategy and performance of the Charity, to consider grant applications, and to set operating plans and budgets. The Chairman, and in his absence the ViceChairman, in consultation with the Secretary and the management team, is responsible for setting the agenda for such meetings, for managing the meetings, and for ensuring that all matters arising are properly considered and addressed. The Board may elect a sub-committee of Trustees, or may co-opt individuals with relevant experience, to deal with specific issues or topics. Details of the Charity's professional advisors are given on page 1.

Retirement, recruitment and appointment of Trustees

At each annual general meeting of the Charity, one third of the Trustees must retire from office. The Trustees to retire by rotation shall be those who have been longest in office since their last appointment and are eligible for re-election at the same annual general meeting.

Due to the nature of the Charity, Trustees are selected on the basis of their experience and knowledge of Oman, their particular field of expertise and their ability to contribute to the wellbeing of the Charity. To enhance the potential pool of Trustees, the Charity looks regularly for new Trustees to enable it to develop and innovate within the existing programmes of work, and also to develop new programmes of work to enhance its impact in the communities it serves. The Board has representation from; diplomatic, governmental, educational, military and commercial links to Oman as well as expertise in UK legal, charity and accounting requirements.

A Trustee may be appointed by the members in general meeting, or by the Board. The number of Trustees shall be not less than three, but is not subject to any maximum number. A Trustee may not appoint an alternate trustee or anyone to act on his or her behalf at meetings of Trustees.

Induction and training of new Trustees

New Trustees are selected from the current membership of the Charity and therefore, usually already have some experience and knowledge of Oman. Prior to the appointment of a new Trustee, the Chairman (or in his or her absence the Vice-Chairman) and the Secretary will brief the individual on; the Objects of the Charity, their legal obligations as a Trustee under both UK charity and company law, the contents of the Charity's Articles of Association, the respective roles and expertise of the other Trustees, the Charity's decision making process, and its operating and financial plans.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The Charity's Objects, as set out in its Articles of Association, are to:

In furtherance of these aims, the Charity arranges a regular schedule of lectures and seminars in London and webinars and podcasts covering a wide variety of subjects related to Oman which are reported on in the Society's Annual Review. The Charity also provides regular programmes of placing British students from a wide range of backgrounds as Educational Assistants in schools in Oman, and of placing British students of Arabic in Omani institutes to improve their spoken Arabic. A further programme for Arabic language student placements is planned for 2023-24. In addition, the Charity also provides opportunities for Omani nationals to attend educational and other training courses in the UK. The Charity also runs on-line Arabic language courses for beginners and for more advanced language students.

Revaluation of investment property

It is the Trustees' intention to assess the market value of the Property periodically and at least every three years via an independent valuation carried out by a professional valuer. However, following new leases for all the rented areas of the Premises in 2022 yielding reduced annual rental income compared to prior years, the Trustees considered it prudent to reduce the valuation of the premises by £2,000,000 to £16,500,000 in the 2022 accounts. In accordance with the Charity's accounting policy in respect of fixed asset investments, the Property was professionally revalued at £15,000,000 as at 31 March 2023 representing a reduction of £1,500,000 from the carrying value of the Property as at 31 March 2022, reflecting reduced rental income from a vacant floor in the Property and continued pressure on local market rentals.

Movement in net assets

The Charity's net assets decreased over the year by an amount of £1,489,715 and stood at £17,656,428 as at 31 March 2023 (2022 - £19,146,143). This decrease follows mainly from the further reduction to the carrying value of the Property.

FINANCIAL REVIEW INCLUDING RESERVES POLICY

As at 31 March 2023 the Charity's reserve funds were £17,656,428 (2022 - £19,146,143) comprising the restricted endowment fund and property revaluation reserve amounting to £15,000,000 (2022 - £16,500,000) and unrestricted funds of £2,656,428 (2022 - £2,646,143). The restricted endowment fund represents the funds advanced by a donor which were applied to purchase the Property and pay for its subsequent structural modification and fit-out. The increase in the value of the Property following its revaluations in 2014 and 2017 and the subsequent decreases in value in 2020, 2022 and 2023 are also reflected in the endowment fund balance. The Trustees have limited powers over the use of the endowment fund and are required to retain it indefinitely. They are not permitted to convert it in to expendable income. The Trustees do though have unlimited powers to apply the unrestricted funds as they consider appropriate and may convert part or all of it in to expendable income.

As at 31 March 2023, the Trustees held £100,000 (2022 - £84,075) of the unrestricted funds as a ‘property fund’, to form a contribution towards future refurbishment costs for the Property. The Board monitors regularly the sufficiency of this fund. The balance of the unrestricted fund (the 'general fund’) is available to meet the costs of the Charity's activities. The Board will continue to review at regular intervals the level of funds that may need to be held to meet the costs of any future rental voids and periodic refurbishment requirements for the Property.

An operating budget for the Charity is agreed by the Board each year, which projects the level of reserves to be retained and the funds available to meet the Charity's day-to-day activities, including an allowance for making grants and awards in furtherance of the Charity's Objects.

INVESTMENT POLICY

The Trustees have the power to invest surplus funds as they see fit. The Board's policy is to have the majority of its surplus funds invested by an experienced third party charities fund manager on a discretionary basis, with the balance of its funds held in low risk interest bearing term deposits with a secure UK clearing bank. Charles Stanley & Co. Limited are the Charity's fund manager and twice a year report in person to the Board, enabling Trustees to assess the performance of the Society's investments. As at 31 March 2023, the value of the invested fund stood at £2,441,700 (2022 - £2,547,520), a net decrease in value of £105,820 over the year.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

. The Society intends to continue its current level of activities over 2023-24 and to increase the sums allocated to awards and grants, as its financial resources permit. Membership levels have gradually increased over recent years, including the number of corporate members, helped by the introduction of the Charity's new web-site in late 2019 and the introduction of a Business Development Manager. The Society continued its close working relationship with the Omani-British Business Council (OBBC), formerly the British arm of the Omani British Friendship Association, and other Oman-focused UK bodies.

REQUIREMENT FOR AUDIT

As a result of receiving a donation of some £11 million in 2009, the Charity was required to prepare its accounts on an accruals basis as is of a size under both charity and company law where its annual accounts are required to be audited. Accordingly, the Board appointed its accountants, Azets Audit Services Limited, to act as its auditors.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence, for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Anglo-Omani Society Independent Auditor's Report

For the Year Ended 31 March 2023

REGISTERED COMPANY NUMBER: 6708685

SF

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of The Anglo-Omani Society

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Anglo-Omani Society (a ‘charitable company’ referred to herein as the 'Charity') for the year ended 31 March 2023, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising Charities SORP - FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ and applicable law (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

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 Charity 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 trustees’ 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 trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. 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.

The other information comprises the information included in the annual Report of the Trustees, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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 course of 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.

Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

For the Year Ended 31 March 2023

El Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of The Anglo-Omani Society continued

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the Charity 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 where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities (set out on page 6), the trustees 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 Charity'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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's 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 specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.

Based on our understanding of the Charity, we identified that the principal risk of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to breaches of health and safety employee laws and regulations. We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the company operates in, focusing on those that had a direct effect on material figures and disclosures in the financial statements, the main regulations considered in this context included the UK Companies Act 2006 Charities Act 2011, as well as the Charity SORP.

We evaluated the incentives and opportunities for fraud in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, the risk of override of controls, and designed procedures in response.to these risks as follows:

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.

The Anglo-Omani Society (Registered Company Number: 6708685) Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 March 2023 —_————

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Anglo-Omani Society is

The Anglo-Omani Society is a company limited by guarantee and incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is set out on page 1. The nature of the Charity's operations is set out in the Report of the Trustees.

Basis of preparation

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 (FRS102) (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.

Going concern

The Trustees have paid particular attention to the likely effects of the recent Covid-19 pandemic on the future‘viability and going concern of the Society. However, although the value of the Charity’s fixed asset investments and income from investments may be adversely affected in 2023-24 due to any continuing effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Trustees remain confident that the Society has sufficient funding and resources in place to remain as a going concern for the foreseeable future and continue with its charitable activities.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included gross of any related expenditure 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 from donations is included in incoming resources when it is receivable, except when donors specify that donations must be used in future accounting periods, in which case the income is deferred until those periods. When donors specify that donations are to be applied for restricted purposes, which do not amount to pre-conditions regarding entitlement, this income is included in incoming resources when receivable, but as restricted funds.

Membership fees, investment income and other income is accounted for on an accruals basis. Where it is not practicable to identify investment management costs incurred within a scheme with reasonable accuracy, the investment income is reported net of these costs. It is included when the amount can be measured reliably.

Resources expended

Expenditure, including the award or grants, is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs to the category. Grants payable to third parties are within the charitable objectives. Where unconditional grants are offered, these are accrued as soon as the recipient is notified of the grant, as this gives rise to a reasonable expectation that the recipient will receive the grants. Where grants are conditional relating to performance, then the grant is only accrued when any unfulfilled conditions are outside of the control of the Charity.

Cost of generating funds

Costs of generating funds represent the costs relating to fund-raising events organised by the Charity.

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure includes all expenditure incurred in the pursuance of the Charity's Objects.

Governance costs

These comprise the costs of compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments represent assets held for the long-term with the aim of providing the Charity with a continuing benefit in the form of income and capital appreciation. Fixed asset investments are held in the balance sheet at their fair value, or at the Trustees’ best estimate of fair value. All changes in the value of fixed asset investments in the year, whether or not realised, are reported as 'gains or losses on investment assets’ in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Fixed asset investments are revalued annually, with the exception of investment property, which is revalued at least every three years. Investment property is not depreciated and represents freehold property, which is held by the Charity for its income and investment potential and which is predominantly let to third parties.

The Anglo-Omani Society (Registered Company Number: 6708685) 14 Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 March 2023 el 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued

Fixed assets ~ other than investments

Fixed assets other than investments comprise; freehold property, computer equipment and fixtures and fittings relating to that part of the investment property occupied by the Charity and which were acquired after the purchase and full fit-out of the investment property. These assets, other than freehold property, are being fully depreciated on a straight line basis over a period of three years, commencing in the month of purchase.

Managed investment fund

Funds held by third party professional fund managers on a discretionary basis are shown in the balance sheet at market value at the year end, based on valuations provided by the fund manager, less any accrued fees. The increase/ decrease in the value of the funds under management is reflected as a combination of net investment income/ losses and gains/ losses on current asset investments in the year in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the Charity's Objects at the discretion of the Trustees. Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the Objects of the Charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. There are three separate funds within the Charity; the Statement of Financial Activities for these funds are contained in these financial statements. The funds held were as follows:

General ~ comprising unrestricted assets less liabilities, effectively 'free reserves’; Property ~ established to meet future property refurbishment costs; and Endowment ~ being the donation to the Charity for the purchase of and modification to the investment property, adjusted to match any revaluation of the investment property.

Taxation

The Charity is exempt from paying Corporation Tax on its charitable activities. The Charity's activities are though subject to VAT and the Charity is registered for VAT.

Debtors and creditors receivable/payable within one year Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at the transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

10 FIXED ASSETS ~ OTHER THAN INVESTMENTS continued

No depreciation is provided in respect of the freehold property because the Trustees consider that the high residual value of the Property, together with the fact that the Property is maintained to a high standard, means that it is not appropriate to charge depreciation. Although non-depreciation of this asset is not in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, the Trustees believe that this departure is necessary in order to provide a true and fair view.
