TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
The trustees (who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of company law) present their report together with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 30 June 2024.
The annual report serves the purposes of both a trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Since the company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic Report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.
The company is also known as the BNPA.
Objectives and activities
a. Policies and objectives
The object of the charitable company is the advancement of health for the public benefit by bringing about improved health care for people with neuropsychiatric disorders in particular by increasing, integrating and disseminating knowledge and understanding of the relationships between brain function and human behaviour through open learned meetings.
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, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
b. Activities for achieving objectives
In furthering its object, the charitable company:
-
provides a multidisciplinary, inclusive forum for the dissemination of research findings and best practices in clinical care across a variety of professional groups;
-
encourages and facilitates cross-disciplinary discussion of clinical and academic issues across the related fields of psychiatry, neurology and neuropsychology;
-
runs high-quality scientific meetings and educational courses, including collaboration with other relevant societies; and
-
promotes the public understanding of neuropsychiatry within the United Kingdom and internationally.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
Structure, governance and management
a. Constitution
The British Neuropsychiatry Association is registered as a company limited by guarantee (number 3893522) and was set up by a Memorandum of Association dated 3 September 1999. The company was incorporated on 1 December 1999 and became a registered charity (number 1154725) on 25 November 2013.
b. Methods of appointment or election of trustees
The management of the charitable company is the responsibility of the trustees who are elected under the terms of the Memorandum of Association.
Trustees are selected for their professional knowledge and experience in the fields of psychiatry, neurology and neuropsychology, in which the charitable company operates. They are likely already to be familiar with the charitable company's purposes and activities.
Newly appointed Trustees receive advice, as an induction, on the history, objectives and activities of the charitable company, on Trustee responsibilities (in particular through provision of the Charity Commission publication The Essential Trustee: An Introduction ) and on the charitable company's financial situation.
c. Organisational structure and decision making
The charitable company is governed by its board of trustees (which is also the board of directors).
The board of trustees is responsible for all decisions with regard to the charitable company's priorities amongst its aims, activities and use of resources.
d. Risk management
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charitable company is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the charitable company, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to those risks.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
Achievements and performance
a. Review of activities
The BNPA remains dedicated to fostering collaboration and advancing knowledge at the neurosciencepsychiatry interface. At events such as the 2023 December Teaching Weekend and the 2024 Annual Conference, attendees experienced a rich array of activities, presentations, and discussions, showcasing innovative developments in the field.
For the BNPA December Teaching Weekend, 'The Essentials of Neuropsychiatry' we offered a hybrid format, accommodating both in-person and online attendance. Despite the success and positive feedback, logistical challenges and costs preclude offering this option in the future. We are grateful to our speakers for their invaluable contributions.
The BNPA 2024 Annual Conference, held on 14 and15 March at the Royal College of Physicians, London, adopted a hybrid approach under the theme " How do our Situations and Environment Shape Us " This dynamic event featured presentations exploring the influence of diverse cultures, neurodiversity, and environmental factors on disease. Key highlights included discussions on autism's interaction with frontotemporal dementia diagnosis, the role of placebo in functional neurological disease, and the impact of extreme environments on mental health. The conference attracted 184 delegates worldwide, fostering valuable networking opportunities and intellectual exchange.
Additionally, throughout the year, BNPA maintained communication with members through email updates, newsletters, and social media, ensuring ongoing engagement and dissemination of relevant information.
b. Investment policy and performance
The charitable company has adopted a highly risk-averse investment policy. Funds not expected to be called upon in the short-term are placed on deposit in a United Kingdom bank at the best terms available.
c. Investment policy and performance
The charitable company has adopted a highly risk-averse investment policy. Funds not expected to be called upon in the short-term are placed on deposit in a United Kingdom bank at the best terms available.
Financial review
a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charitable company 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.
b. Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charitable company to hold in reserve a sufficient amount to be able to undertake its planned activities should its income stream fail significantly, and subsquently enable an orderly close-down of the charitable company should it become unable to continue.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
c. Principal risks and uncertainties
There are few risks and uncertainties that can impact on the performance of the Association. The BNPA board closely monitor possible risks on an on-going basis with quarterly meetings where at least four executive directors are present.
Financial risk
Sponsorship and support from industry should not be relied upon and the board will limit the risk of financial losses by aiming to break even in the Association's main activities, the annual conference and the teaching weekend, and not rely on outside support. While the board will still encourage industry support it will not rely on this as a main source of financing the activities, also recognising the needs and wishes of their members with regards to good governance.
The board will ensure the continuing process of promoting the Association through its current members and the appropriate institutions and societies, therefore encouraging new members to join the Association to ensure a steady growth in membership numbers or at least maintain a good level of member numbers to guarantee an annual income through subscription payments to support the administration of the Association.
The board recognises the cost implications of inviting overseas speakers to its annual meeting and therefore will limit the number of overseas speakers invited each year, at the same time recognising the interest of overseas speakers to the Associations membership and the potential draw that overseas speakers have on delegates attending the meetings.
d. Financial activities and affairs
The statement of financial activities for the year ended 30 June 2024 shows total income of £115,021 and net deficit of £3,850.
In the opinion of the trustees, the overall state of affairs of the charitable company at 30 June 2024 is satisfactory.
e. Plans for future periods
The BNPA 2023 December Teaching Weekend and 2024 Annual Conference exemplified the organisation's commitment to excellence in education, research, and clinical practice within the realm of neuropsychiatry. These events not only disseminated knowledge but also cultivated a vibrant community of professionals dedicated to unravelling the complexities of the brain-mind interface. As we look forward to future endeavours, the legacy of collaboration and innovation fostered by the BNPA continues to inspire and propel the field of neuropsychiatry towards new horizons.
Members' liability
In the event of the charitable company being wound up, the members guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 to the charitable company's assets. During 2024 there were 480 members of the charitable company, all of which were individuals.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company 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 trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial . Under company law, the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that 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 of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company 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 company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Approved by order of the members of the board of trustees on 28 February 2025 and signed on their behalf by:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The British Neuropsychiatry Association ('the company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the company for the year ended 30 June 2024.
Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the trustees of the company (and its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements 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 the company's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the financial statements give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the financial statements 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).

THE BRITISH NEUROPSYCHIATRY ASSOCIATION (A Company Limited by Guarantee)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
1. General information
The British Neuropsychiatry Association is a charitable company registered in England. Its registered office address is 21-27 Lamb's Conduit Street, London WC1N 3GS.
The British Neuropsychiatry Association is a company limited by guarantee. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the company.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company, and are rounded to the nearest £1.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) and FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the charity's accounting policies (see note 3).
The British Neuropsychiatry Association meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
2.2 Going concern
There are no material uncertainties concerning the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.
2.3 Income
All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.4 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.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs, are allocated to the applicable expenditure headings.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
2.5 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
2.6 Taxation
The company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
The company is not, however, exempt from value added tax. Irrecoverable value added tax is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.
2.7 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
2.8 Cash at bank
Cash at bank includes short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

THE BRITISH NEUROPSYCHIATRY ASSOCIATION (A Company Limited by Guarantee)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.9 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost.
2.10 Financial instruments
The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.11 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
3. Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the charitable company'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, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. However, there are no judgements or assumptions that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment.
