FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
At 31 March 2024 the charitable company had free reserves of £364,729 (2023 - £309,914). The net surplus for the year of £54,815 represents an increase when compared to the previous year's surplus on ongoing activities of £54,068. The increase in net income can mainly be attributed to increase in conferences, and this was due to more exhibitors and delegates.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
Charitable free reserves are defined as income which becomes available to the charitable company and is to be spent at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of any of the charity's objectives, but which is not yet spent, committed or designated.
The free reserves of the charitable company are represented by the accumulation of cash reserves from surpluses of income over expenditure in both the current and past financial years. The charitable company currently has annual running costs of approximately £150,000 that require financing before retaining most of its free reserves for the purposes of financing its future charitable objectives.
The level of free reserves is reviewed regularly by the trustees and the charitable company's reserves stance is to maintain accumulated funds at a sufficient level to cover the annual running costs of the charitable company for the foreseeable future with any surpluses used to support future charitable objectives.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of College of Mental Health Pharmacy
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of College of Mental Health Pharmacy ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024.
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
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
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.
The presentation currency in the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).
The charitable company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':
- the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
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.
Membership subscriptions which give a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities otherwise as donations.
Income from interest royalties and dividends are included in the financial statements when the receipt is probable and the amount receivable 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.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Computer equipment - 20% 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Fund accounting
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.
Deferred income
Deferred income has been recognised in regards to training events and study day fees received in advance.
Going concern
The trustees have assessed whether the going concern basis of preparation continues to be appropriate, based on whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charitable company to continue as a going concern.
At the time of approving the financial statements the trustees believe that all appropriate measures have been or will be taken to ensure that the charitable company will be able to continue its operations for at least the next 12 months and thus conclude that the going concern basis remains appropriate.
