European Diabetology (A company limited by guarantee) TRUSTEES’ REPORT

The Trustees present their report and unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2024.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the Companies Act 2006 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 (FRS102) second edition – October 2019.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

European Diabetology is a company limited by guarantee (Company Registration No 08652560) with charitable status (Charity No 1156725). The company was registered with Companies House on 15 August 2013. The governing document of the organisation is its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated August 2013 and modified in March 2014.

The Trustees, who are also the directors for the purposes of company law, who held office during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were as follows:

Prof E Pearson (Chair from May 2024) Dr M Rutter (Resigned 1 May 2024 - Chair up to May 2024) Dr R Loos Prof B Ahren S Tweddell Prof K Gillespie Dr F Rutters (Appointed 18 September 2024)

The day-to-day management of the charity is carried out by the Trustees, who are appointed by a resolution of the Trustees from a candidate, or candidates, nominated in writing by the European Association for the Study of Diabetes. The number of Trustees shall not be less than three but shall not be subject to any maximum. The Trustees hold office for three years and are then eligible for reappointment for a further three years. The induction process for any newly appointed Trustee comprises an initial meeting with the Chairman and the Board, followed by a series of short meetings regarding powers and responsibilities of the Trustee Board.

MEMBERS’ LIABILITY

Each member of the charitable company undertakes to contribute to the assets of the charitable company in the event of it being wound up while they are a member, or within one year after they cease to be a member, such amount as may be required, not exceeding £1, for the debts and liabilities contracted before they ceased to be a member.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In its commitment to advance the education regarding diabetes, European Diabetology is primarily supportive of the journal Diabetologia and its associated society, the European Association for the study of Diabetes (EASD). This may be in the form of financial grants but also professional benevolence. EASD is the charity’s primary beneficiary and the charity remains open to assisting its various outreach initiatives.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The charity's objects are specifically restricted to advancing the education of the public in general (and particularly among scientists and healthcare professionals) on the subject of diabetology. This is to be achieved by, but not limited to, the promotion of research for the public benefit in all aspects of that subject and to publish the useful results. In this year, the charity supported the EASD’s Early Career Academy with a grant, enabling 20 applicants to take a place on its new Early Career Mentorship programme. It also took an active role in the ongoing negotiation of Diabetologia’s contract with publisher Springer Nature and that of the planned launch of its sister journal, with the aim of best serving its staff, authors and readership in view of the charity object. In addition, they supported the IDS

conference with a grant towards its Young Investigator Travel Awards aimed to motivate young scientists to send in abstracts.

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The charity has supported the advancement of education on the subject of diabetes by supporting the publication of the journal Diabetologia, in particular by funding their editorial activities.

The Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the aims and objectives and in planning the future activities of the Charity.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Total income for the financial year was £579,424 (2023: £702,711). Outgoings and other gains/losses for the same year were £234,946 (2023: £939,919) creating an annual surplus of £344,478 (2024: deficit £237,208). Total funds carried forward into the new financial year are £1,514,893 (2023: £1,170,415).

INVESTMENT POLICY

During the year, the charity maintained a multi-asset fund with Schroders. As the charity’s investment advisors, they are instructed to invest to maximise total return within the constraints of a lower level risk portfolio. The investment brief is broadly defined, but investments in companies that have positive social, environment and ethical considerations are held or pursued.

RESERVES

The Trustees examined the requirements for free reserves in November 2023 and agreed that, given the nature of the work and current outstanding decisions on expenditure, this should be approximately £450,000. This includes the equivalent of 6 months’ running costs of Diabetologia to allow for an orderly wind-down of the activities of the journal in the event of interruption of income from Springer. It also provides a contingency against changes in the terms agreed with the University of Bristol in relation to the hosting of Diabetologia. It also gives adequate working capital to support quality improvement in Diabetologia. Therefore, the Trustees have decided to earmark £450,000 to a separate designated fund for clarity within the financial statements.

Due to the renegotiation of the shared services agreement with University of Bristol with regard to Diabetologia and uncertainty related to overhead charges in addition to the ongoing discussions regarding the spin-off journal contract, expenditure this year was restrained to ensure the charity’s financial position was future proofed.

The reserves as of 31 August 2024 are £1,514,893 (2023: £1,170,415).

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The charity plans to continue supporting the activities of Diabetologia and to fund new initiatives that serve to develop diabetes education in the scientific, medical and wider community as well as improve the quality of the journal’s output and marketing, when finances permit.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Trustees consider the main risk to the future of the charity to be the funding provided, without this the charity would not be able to provide support for the publication of the journal Diabetologia. The Trustees have a publishing agreement in place with Springer Nature to receive royalties annually and work closely with EASD and the journal’s Editor-in-Chief to ensure the financial forecast is secured.

European Diabetology (A company limited by guarantee) STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

The Trustees (who are also the directors of European Diabetology for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual 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 year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the income and expenditure of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable 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 charitable company and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF EUROPEAN DIABETOLOGY

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of European Diabetology for the year ended 31 August 2024, which are set out on pages 7 to 16.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the Trustees of the company (and also 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 your charity’s financial statements as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinion on the financial statements. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide. Consequently, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements present a ‘true and fair view’ and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the independent examiner’s statement.

Independent examiner’s statement

Since the company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements 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

  4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities applicable to charities preparing their financial statement in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Ireland (FRS 102).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

European Diabetology (A company limited by guarantee) NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ending 31 August 2024

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CHARITY INFORMATION

European Diabetology is a private company limited by guarantee and incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 2[nd] Floor, 1 The Square, Temple Quay, Bristol, BS1 6DG.

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 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 and Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. The accounting policies as disclosed have been applied consistently throughout the current and preceding year.

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.

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.

INCOME

Income from charitable activities is recognised when the charity is entitled to the income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

Investment income is accounted for in the accounting period in which it is receivable.

10

European Diabetology (A company limited by guarantee) NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ending 31 August 2024

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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.

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.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include other debtors and cash and bank balances, are measured at transaction price including transaction costs.

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 charity after deducting all of its liabilities.

11

European Diabetology (A company limited by guarantee) NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ending 31 August 2024

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including accruals are recognised at transaction price.

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.
