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) (Second Edition effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES, ACTIVITIES, ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (continued)

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The charity’s income for the year was £144,591 (2020: £214,231) representing a substantial reduction from the previous year due primarily to donations in the previous year amounting to £90k+ to support specific staff roles that were not repeated in FY21. Expenditure was £183,929 (2020: £156,277) consisting mainly of wages and salaries and costs of running the office. This resulted in a deficit in the year of £39,338 (2020: £57,954 surplus).

Reserves Policy

The balance of the General Unrestricted Fund at the year-end was £131,110 (2020: £170,448); there were no Restricted Fund balances at the year end. Given the ongoing uncertainties globally, JGIG plans to maintain free reserves (unrestricted funds not tied up in fixed assets or designated) that will meet six months of current fixed expenses. Fixed expenses include but are not limited to salaries; other employee benefits; rent; insurances; accounting fees; committed liabilities under contract. This currently stands at approximately £80,000 - £100,000 with the level of free reserves at £131,110 (2020: £170,448). The trustees are considering the various projects to which the additional funds will be applied.

Investment Policy

All funds, in excess of current operating requirements, are to be invested in short term bank or government instruments (treasury bills, treasury notes, guaranteed investment certificates, certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances). The term of these instruments is not to exceed 360 days.

All uninvested funds are lodged in a bank account or an account in another regulated financial institution (e. g. Building Society or Trust Company).

This policy will be revised to account for any longer term funds that may be acquired through bequests and are in excess of the required General Reserve Fund.

FUTURE PLANS

Future plans of JGIG include the following:

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The charity is governed by Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 22 June 2012 and was registered as a company limited by guarantee on 28 June 2012. It was also registered as a UK charity with the Charity Commission on 7 August 2013.

Management

The day to day running of the charity is delegated to Erika Helms, the appointed Global Manager.

Risk Review

The Trustees have undertaken a risk review to identify major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular, those related to the operations and finances of the Charity and the Trustees are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate the Charity’s exposure to the major risks. The Trustees will continue to review major risks on an annual basis.

In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the trustees struck a special committee that met weekly in 2020 to ensure that the Charity’s finances and operating procedures were sound during the pandemic. In 2021, the monitoring by the committee continued.

Connected charities

JGIG acts as a focal point for all Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) charities around the world.

The offices then become “Chapters” of JGIG and are required to submit governance and audit information to JGIG. Although the Chapters have no formal obligation to JGIG, most make a voluntary contribution towards the administration of the charity. The number of related charities and their location are:

Africa - 7 Asia/Oceania – 10 Europe – 13 North America – 2 South America - 2

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES’ OF JANE GOODALL INSTITUTE, GLOBAL

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 30 June 2021.

As the charity’s trustees of the charitable 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 charitable 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’).

  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

JANE GOODALL INSTITUTE, GLOBAL

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Second Edition effective 1 January 2019), Charities SORP FRS 102, Companies Act 2006 and with the Charities Act 2011.

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 trustees consider there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. In reaching this conclusion, the trustees have also considered the impact on the Covid-19 pandemic on the operation and future of the charity.

Income

All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income, there is probability of receipt and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.

Receipts of property, investments or other gifts in kind are included at market value.

Expenditure

Charitable expenditure consists of all expenditure relating to the objects of the Charity. All costs are directly attributable to the activities under which they have been analysed.

Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

Irrecoverable VAT is included with the category of expense to which it relates.

Pension schemes

Commencing from February 2018, the charity operates a defined Contribution Pension Scheme for its employees. The pension costs charged in the financial statements represent the contribution payable by the charity during the year.

Debtors

Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts due.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the accounts.

Statement of Cash Flows

The charity is exempt from the requirement to produce a Statement of Cash Flows as it qualifies as a small charity under the Charities SORP FRS 102.

The Burundi Biodiversity Day Fund represents donations towards the organisation of an event with government officials and Roots & Shoots youth volunteers together in order to demonstrate to JGI’s local partners that wildlife biodiversity in Burundi is important to us and is important for local people to actively conserve.

The MAB Conference Fund was a donation received to cover costs of JGI (Jane Goodall Institute) key colleagues from Tanzania where we have a newly-approved MAB site to attend the UNESCO Man and Biosphere (MAB) conference in Tanzania.

Covid-19 crisis needs – Chimpeden represents a donation to support the Chimpanzee Eden sanctuary in South Africa during the global Covid-19 pandemic period because that sanctuary normally relies on door ticket sales to cover their running costs.

The transfers represent minor residuals on the funds which have been written out in accordance with the terms of the donor.

All restricted fund year end balances are represented by cash at bank.
