Trustees Annual Report

The Society continued with its programme of on-line lectures in parallel with a popular return to live lectures at the Society of Antiquaries as regulations allowed post Covid. The increase in membership numbers due in part to the online lectures reaching a wider worldwide audience and the success of the postponed symposium meant an ongoing increase in administration costs.

Two important features of the accounts are the final payment for the indexing of all past publications and the receipt of the final cash transfer from the Bead Study Trust. New issues of both Jewellery History Today and Jewellery Studies will be indexed on a regular basis in future.

Although seen as a positive decision to hold funds in the COIF Deposit Fund the unfortunate timing of the Society’s accounting year has meant that the accounts show an unrealised loss for the period.

It is the opinion of the Trustees that the Society has more than sufficient reserves to remain a going concern for the foreseeable future and certainly for well in excess of the next twelve months.

Statement of Council Members’ Responsibilities

The Council members are required under the Charities Act 1993 to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the Society’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of that year. In preparing financial statements, the Council should:

select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Society will continue in operation.

The Council members are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the society and which enable them to ascertain the financial position of the society and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with applicable law and regulations. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Approved by the Council on 17[th] January 2023 and signed on its behalf

Hon Treasurer
