European Diabetology (A company limited by guarantee) NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) for the year ending 31 August 2020

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CHARITY INFORMATION

European Diabetology is a private company limited by guarantee and incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Hartwell House, 55 – 61 Victoria Street, Bristol, BS1 6AD.

European Diabetology meets the definition of a public benefit entity under section 34 of FRS 102.

The principal objectives of the charity are detailed in the Trustees report found on page 2 of these financial statements.

The charity is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the trustees named on page 1. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the entity.

ACCOUNTING CONVENTION

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) second edition – October 2019 issued on 16 July 2014 and Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019. The accounting policies as disclosed have been applied consistently throughout the current and preceding year.

The charity has adopted the Charities SORP (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 rather than applying the Charities 2005 SORP which has been withdrawn but is still referred to in the extant Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. This departure has been necessary for the financial statements to show a true and fair view in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

The accounts are prepared under the historical cost convention with the exception of fixed asset investments which are held at fair value.

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

GOING CONCERN

The trustees have reviewed the expected cash outflows for the charity against expected cash inflows and assets held for 12 months from the approval of these financial statements. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and therefore have concluded that it is appropriate to use the going concern basis in the preparation of these accounts. In making this assessment the trustees have taken account of the ongoing COVID-19 situation and the associated uncertainties in financial markets.

FUND ACCOUNTING

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and have not been restricted for other purposes. Designated funds are set aside by the trustees to be spent on specific purposes as its own discretion. The designated funds currently in the financial statements relate to approximately 6 months’ running costs of Diabetologia.

9

European Diabetology (A company limited by guarantee) NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) for the year ending 31 August 2020

INCOME

Incoming resources are recognised as incoming resources when the charity is entitled to the income, the value can be measured with sufficient reliability and it is probable the funds will be received.

EXPENDITURE

Liabilities are recognised as resources expended as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.

Charitable expenditure comprises costs incurred by the charity in delivery of its activities and objectives. It includes both costs directly attributable to activities and indirect costs necessary to support them.

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include independent examination fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.

Grants payable for each year, as agreed by the trustees are included in the accounts of that year.

Commitments to pay grants to specific research projects in future years are conditional on annual reviews of programme and are therefore not provided for until such payments are due. Such commitments are not binding and will be charged against the income of the year in which they are paid.

GAINS AND LOSSES

All gains and losses are taken to the statement of financial activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year.

Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the statement of financial activities.

INVESTMENTS

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially measured at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.

The market value of investments held in the portfolios are represented within unrestricted funds and the income portfolio is included within the unrestricted distribution fund accordingly.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As the charity only has basic financial instruments it has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ of FRS 102, to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

10

European Diabetology (A company limited by guarantee) NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) for the year ending 31 August 2020

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables 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 financial asset is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at market rate of interest.

Classification of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest.

TAXATION

The charity meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is partially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

FOREIGN CURRENCIES

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the net income for the year.

No restricted funds were received in the year.

The trustees have decided to designate approximately 6 months’ running costs of Diabetologia. This would allow for an orderly wind-down of the activities of the journal in the event of interruption of income from Springer. The funds remain unrestricted and can be spent at the trustees’ discretion.
