Mediaserve Limited 

for the Year Ended 31 December 2022 

## Report of the Trustees 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The objects of the charity are to advance the Christian religion for the benefit of the public in such parts of the United Kingdom and the world as the trustees may from time to time think fit in accordance with the teachings of the Christian faith as expressed in the Bible, particularly, but not exclusively among Jews. 

## **Public benefit** 

In planning our activities for the period we kept in mind the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit, at our trustee meetings. 

In view of the charity's objectives to advance the Christian religion for the benefit of the public in accordance with the teachings of the Christian faith as expressed in the Bible, particularly, but not exclusively among Jews. 

The work of the charity has continued to work in accordance with these aims, seeking to promote the public benefit through the charity's work. This has been done through the distribution of literature to the public which forwards these aims. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

The charity has continued to raise funds from generous donors and these funds have been dispersed successfully in order to make significant progress with its objectives. A new website for the Bible study material "BibleKeys" (18 languages) was developed in 2022. Additional lessons are in progress and it will be finalised in 2023. The charity has also worked with Partner organisations who have raised significant funding for key scripture projects in India, China, Ethiopia, Middle East and several other nations. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Investment policy and objectives** 

The charity's excess funds are retained in an interest bearing account with the charity's bankers. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The trustees consider that the charity's reserves should be sufficient to cover the following contingencies in order to facilitate the winding down of its operations whilst minimising the inconvenience to beneficiaries in the event of the charity ceasing to operate on a permanent basis: 

- Sufficient funds to meet any liabilities arising from redundancies; 

- Three months non-staffing costs to enable termination of contracts with suppliers of goods and services. 

## Financial review 

The charity continues to function successfully with funds being utilised to fulfil the charity's objectives. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

The trustees intend to continue focussing on developing new and innovative ways of using literature and other means to achieve its objects. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. 

Mediaserve Limited is a charity established on 8th December 1980. The charity was established under a Declaration of Trust, which set out the objects and powers of the charity and was governed by its Trust Deed which was entered on the Charity Commission's central register on 8th December 1980. On 5th November 2010 the charity was incorporated under the Companies Act 2006 and its objects and powers are now delineated by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. The charity is managed by the Board of Trustees.

## Report of the Trustees 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

Trustees are recruited as needed from a diverse number of different backgrounds. Each trustee has relevant experience and a wide skills base which they bring to their service as trustees. In the event of particular skills being lost due to retirements, individuals are approached to offer themselves for election to the Board of Trustees. They are elected to the Board of Trustees by a vote taken by the current trustees. 

## **Organisational structure** 

Mediaserve Limited has a Board of Trustees of up to six trustees who meet a minimum of two times a year and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. At present the committee comprises four trustees. The charity's trustees have control of the charity and its property and funds. Existing trustees may appoint additional trustees to their number, at any time, providing the total number of trustees is a minimum number of three. 

## **Induction and training of new trustees** 

Once trustees are appointed, time is taken to familiarise them with the practices and requirements they need as trustees. They are also made familiar with all aspects of the charity's work and financial situation. Any further training or induction takes place as the need arises.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Mediaserve Limited 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Mediaserve Limited ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2022. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also 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 your charity's accounts as 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 your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of 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 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.

## **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. 

## **Allocation and apportionment of costs** 

All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the SOFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an  appropriate basis e.g. floor areas, per capita or estimated usage. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Fixtures and fittings 

- 15% on reducing balance 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives 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. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Hire purchase and leasing commitments** 

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. 

## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits**
