## Achievements and performance (continued) 

## Future of BAUN 

BAUN trustees continue to meet 4 times a year, with January and Junes meetings in person, and April and Octobers meetings held virtually. In BAUN’s January 2025 meeting, trustees met in person at the Prostate Cancer UK offices in London to have insights training. Trustees found this useful to recognise their communication styles with one another, but also members and contributors. 

BAUN's membership stood at 936 as of February 2025, there were 916 members as of 31 March 2024. BAUN continue to enhance members benefits by offering free webinars. 

BAUN Educational programme continue to host educational events out with the annual conference. The Education committee had successfully delivered their first study day, post pandemic. Held on the 6th June 2024 at The Crowne Plaza, Newcastle. There were 63 delegates in attendance and 10 exhibitors. The committee is currently arranging their next study day in Belfast, Ireland for the 6th June 2025.

BAUN Newsletter continues to be fully digital, this is produced quarterly to its members, which provides up to date news on topical issues. lt generates income from advertising which finances the cost of producing the newsletter. This continues to be popular with members and enable a 2­way form of regular communication. The newsletter continues to be of immense credit to BAUN and a product to be proud of. 

The association provides the publication of The International Journal of Urological Nursing (IJUN) to its members. The journal continues to flourish worldwide with the new editorial committee having been integrated.  Trustees are committed to ensure that the journal continues to be fit for purpose and meet the needs of the members and non­ members of the association.

## Financial Review 

For the year beginning 1 April 2024, the opening funds started the year with a surplus balance of £268,208 and ended the year with a balance of £356,931 as a result of a £88,723 surplus for the year. 

## The restricted funds included; 

Bruce Turner Legacy Fund ­ £13,250 of which £743 was utilised during this year. Cathrine Atkin Memorial Fund ­ £1,356 

The main contribution to the surplus was the success of the BAUN annual conference and exhibition, this generated a surplus of £107,420, which will be used to reinvest in BAUN activities. 

At the beginning of the financial year for 2020/21 it was envisaged that BAUN would continue to keep monies in the investment, this is a low risk approach as outlined in BAUN M&A's. The balance of funds invested with St James Place Wealth Management was £23,472 as at 31st March 2025. BAUN continue to review the investment to determine whether there is a requirement of a change to a medium risk. 

BAUN continue to host the IJUN virtually, which continues to be a cost saving from the previous hard copy issues. The income from Royalties is £14,256 as at 31st March 2025. 

BAUN continued to closely monitor the cash flow situation and took actions to avoid this dropping. Actions included; maximising credit terms and agreeing payment plans where possible. 

The management company representing us continued to help us draws up cash flow projections on a regular basis, and regular finance meetings are held with the BAUN treasurer. This helps BAUN to plan for their strategic aims in a staged way. 

## Risk Management 

BAUN trustees and directors have previously discussed the nature of BAUN potential risks and to ensure continuous improvement the risk register is reviewed at each quarterly board meeting. 

A monthly financial reporting process ensures that the directors and trustees are kept up to date with income and expenditure and are in a good position to pick up quickly on financial trends. Insurance is taken out to cover activity especially in respect to the annual conference.

## Trustee Activities 

BAUN highlighted 5 key objectives to achieve between 1 April 2024 and 31 March 2025 

## 1.Succession planning for trustee roles 

Role profiles have been reviewed by Trustees to ensure they are fit for purpose. Trustees identified where there were deputy leads required and these were implemented, with a new deputy treasurer, deputy education and deputy conference lead introduced. 

## 2.Create new BAUN website 

BAUN placed a tender call for website developers and following interviews, Pink Marketing, were appointed as the new developer. BAUN Trustees are working with PINK to develop an engaging and inclusive website, with external parties consulted on the content.  BAUN were able to secure a grant from CURE to part fund this new development. 

## 3.Fundraising plan with Nova Fundraising 

BAUN worked with Nova Fundraising to assess their access to fundraising opportunities and to review how they currently promote their own fundraising efforts. Anthony Shanahan was appointed as the Fundraising Lead, which has now been distributed to Laura Noble (BAUN co­opted Trustee). BAUN have since decided to pause working with Nova Fundraising due to lack of opportunities. 

## 4.Equality, Diversity & Inclusion policy 

BAUN achieved their objective of producing an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy. This objective will remain in place for 2024 – 2025 with three trustees having been appointed to lead on this policy..

## Trustee’s responsibilities statement: 

The trustees, who are also directors 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 charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, for the 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 in the applicable Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will 

- continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity 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 charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

British Association of Urological Nurses Company Limited by Guarantee Independent examiner’s report For the year ended 31 March 2025 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

## Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner 

As the charity’s 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 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. 

## Basis of independent examiner’s report 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## Independent examiner’s statement 

I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland. 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: 

• accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

- the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

• 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 

• 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.

British Association of Urological Nurses Company Limited by Guarantee Independent examiner’s report (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2025 

## Use of our report 

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members and the trustees, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our examination has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company, the charitable company’s members and trustees as a body, for our examination, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## British Association of Urological Nurses 

Company Limited by Guarantee Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 March 2025 

## 1. Accounting Policies 

## Company information 

The charity is a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England. The address of the registered office is 71 Queen Victoria Street, London, EC4V 4BE, England. 

## 1.1 Accounting convention 

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 2019) ­ Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

The charity 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 notes. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

## 1.2 Going Concern 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## 1.3 Income and expenditure 

Income representing membership subscriptions, sales of conference tickets and exhibition space, interest and branch income receivable is accounted for on an accruals basis.  Donations and gift aid claims are recognised on receipt of proceeds. 

Resources expended are included in the statement of financial activities on an accruals basis. 

All costs have been directly attributed to one of the functional categories of resources expended in the statement of financial activities as follows: 

## Charitable activities 

These are costs relating to expenditure on preserving and maintaining the assets of the charity and the associated trade. 

## Other expenditure 

These are costs associated with the running of the regional branches of the charity. 

## 1.4 Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash at bank and in hand are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short­term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. 

Page 12 



British Association of Urological Nurses Company Limited by Guarantee Notes to the financial statements (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2025 

## 1. Accounting Policies (continued) 

## 1.5 Tangible assets 

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. 

## Depreciation 

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: 

Equipment                                                15% reducing balance 

## Investments 

Listed equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment. 

Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure. 

## Impairment of fixed assets 

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. 

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash­generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash­generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. 

## 1.6 Financial instruments 

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. 

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

## 1.7 Fund accounting 

The funds of the charity are held in unrestricted and restricted funds. Unrestricted funds represent funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. Restricted funds represent funds which must be used in accordance with the specific objectives that were laid out by those parties providing the funds to the charity. 

## 1.8 Taxation 

The company is a registered charity and is not liable for United Kingdom income tax or corporation tax on charitable activities. 

## 2. Limited by guarantee 

British Association of Urological Nurses is a company limited by guarantee and accordingly does not have share capital. Every member of the company undertakes to contribute such amount as may be required not exceeding £10 to the assets of the charitable company in the event of its being wound up while he or she is a member, or within one year after he or she ceases to be a member. 

In accordance with FRS 102 and the Charities SORP, the trustees of this company limited by guarantee make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. These are based on reasonable assumptions and historical experience. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

## 16. Company limited by guarantee 

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The liability of each member in the event of winding up while he or she is a member, or within one year after he or she ceases to be a member, is limited to £1. 

## 17. Going concern 

At the date of approval, the trustees have prepared and approved up to date management accounts, budgets and cash flow projections which include key income and cost assumptions that the trustees consider reasonable and prudent. 

Having considered the matters above the trustees are of the view that, at the date of approval of the financial statements, the charity will have sufficient resources to continue to operate and meet debts as they fall due for the foreseeable future. The financial statements have therefore been drawn up on a going concern basis.
