TRUSTEES' REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and “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

The principle objects of the Charity are to relieve sickness, promote good health and advance education for the public benefit in particular but not exclusively by:

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit and in particular to its supplementary guidance on the advancement of education and health.

Activities for achieving objectives

The main activities undertaken to achieve the charity's objectives are the organisation of courses and training classes on the advancement of Urogynaecology: There is a 2 day Annual scientific update (ASU) meeting in London in the autumn, during which the AGM is held. Educational meetings continue to be one the major focus of our society. They are high quality, well attended, get positive feedback and bring in significant resource to the Society. We had a hybrid meeting for the ASU in November 2023 and it was attended by 279 delegates, the highest number to date.

BSUG hosts an annual Urodynamic meeting in accordance with the training requirements of those undertaking an Advanced Training Skills Module and for those needing an update for accreditation/revalidation. This meeting is usually held in London but has been held virtually since 2020.

The charity used to arrange regular clinical meetings on childbirth and perineal trauma but increasingly poorly attended and hence it was decided that we would support the other stakeholders in education of this aspect of urogynaecology. We are working with RCM, MASIC, BMFMS under leadership of Prof Bob Freeman to draw up educational resources of professionals involved.

The charity also provides BSUG sessions at a number of prestigious national and international meetings each year, such as the RCOG Annual Professional Development conferences in London, the North of England and the World Congress of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. The charity also supports a number of regional and local meetings (road shows) with speakers. Surgical Masterclass in Vaginal and Minimal Access Urogynaecology Surgery was conducted over 2 days in March 2024 (virtual event). The sexual dysfunction course which is held every other year is well subscribed and run effectively by Dr Claudine Domoney.

We are planning a joint BSUG Medtronic masterclass to train urogynaecologists in sacral neuromodulation sponsored by the industry.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Achievements and performance

Review of activities:

This has been a good year for the Charity, with membership similar to last year. The Charitable aims of BSUG continue to be reflected in the significant developments of the past year as follows:

  1. The BSUG Database has been available online since 2007 and is hosted on the secure HSCN network (previously called N3 network). More than 160,000 surgical cases have been recorded by more than 260 units. The database records all the information that NICE and NHSE have recommended to be recorded in the National Pelvic Floor Registry. The Consultant Outcome Project (COP) overseen by HQIP had mandated the Society to use the database to collect performance data on stress incontinence surgery. The first National Report on Continence surgery (2008-2017) was published by the BSUG Audit and Database Committee on 17th October 2018. Following this, multiple audit reports have been published on stress incontinence surgery, prolapse surgery, mesh complication surgery and length of stay. Further reports on Colpocleisis and Manchester repair have been updated recently. Mandatory Pelvic Floor Registry has been rolled out by NHS England and the role of BSUG database, in light of the registry, is being discussed. The Database is the Intellectual Property of BSUG and also used under licence in Australia and New Zealand. Also, currently the database is being reviewed with regards to compliance with GDPR and updates will be undertaken following the completion of review – if deemed necessary.

2.The BSUG Audit and Database Committee overseas the Database and is supported by an administrator. The committee itself is overseen by the Vice Chairman of BSUG.

  1. Educational meetings continue to be one the major focus of our society. They are high quality, well attended, get positive feedback and bring in significant resource to the Society.

  2. The website has been updated and a new website is under development helping to fulfil one of our Charitable aims by increasing access for education, communication, advice and support, for members and patients.

Financial review

The Charity’s finances are sound, and the annual financial report is attached.

There was a surplus for the year of £7,962 (2023: £16,933) and unrestricted funds at the 31 March 2024 stood at £324,649 (2023: £316,687). During the year the total income was £132,586 (2023: £138,014), with expenditure at £124,624 (2023: £121,081).

The membership income stream continues to cover the running costs of the charity and the use of the services provided by the RCOG in the year. The close relationship held by the charity with the RCOG has enabled further development, monitoring and implementation of courses in the UK.

Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.

Principal funding

The charity receives most of its funding from annual membership fees and conference course income. This income has been used to facilitate the organisation of the courses and cover the administration costs of the society.

Reserves

The trustees regularly monitor and review the level of reserves and an annual review of the charity’s reserves policy is undertaken. At the year-end, unrestricted reserves stood at £324,649 and the level of free reserves at the year end was £301,728. The trustees have agreed to a reserves policy of between eighteen months and two years expenditure which is approximately £250,000. A decision was taken by the trustees in 2019 to reduce the level of reserves held to this level. This policy is informed by the charity’s commitment to protecting the continuity of its services to members and employment of its staff, and also takes into account the organisation’s exposure to unpredictable levels of membership fee payments and course fees.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

British Society Of Urogynaecology is a Charity constituted under Trust deeds dated 29 July 2011.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and “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). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

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

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

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 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. Membership income is recognised on a receipts basis and in line with membership terms and conditions on the charity website.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of total direct costs plus shared costs including support costs and governance expenditure. Where the charity undertakes more than one activity shared costs will be apportioned on a basis consistent with the use of resources. All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

1.6 Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill

The Intangible fixed asset is the amount paid on the acquisition and development of the BSUG Database.

Amortisation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Database straight line 5 years

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.9 Financial instruments

The charity 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 charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.10 Employee benefits

The charity has no direct employees.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
