## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

The trustees present their  annual  report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)". 

## **Objectives and activities** 

## **Principal activity** 

The principal activity of the charity in the year under review was that of conserving and protecting cetaceans and their habitats. 

## **Objects** 

The charity's objects as set out in the Articles of Association are : 

- To promote, by means that are exclusively charitable and for public benefit, the conservation and protection of cetaceans (dolphins, whales and porpoises) by actively assisting in the development of community projects to alleviate injury, sickness, ill-treatment, neglect or threat to animals and their environment. 

- To advance public education, in particular by providing educational and research programmes that raise public awareness both nationally and internationally, of the problems and solutions facing cetaceans and their natural environment including but not limited to natural habitat degradation, welfare concerns, and wildlife loss. 

## **WCA's Vision** 

A world where cetaceans are free, where oceans thrive, and where communities care. 

## **WCA's Mission** 

To protect cetaceans and their habitats through global collaboration. 

## **WCA's Values** 

- To ensure that all our decisions and actions are guided by sound science, animal welfare and conservation principles and that the welfare of cetaceans is paramount. 

- To ensure that all our policies and practices are founded on the highest ethical principles. 

- To work in partnership and ensure that all our interactions with partners are fair, ethical, respectful and considered. 

- To ensure that our values are never compromised in the pursuit of our objectives. 

- To hold ourselves accountable for everything we do and every decision we make. 

## **WCA's Strategic Goals** 

1. To be leaders in cetacean welfare and conservation and partner with any organisation, institution or government that is seeking positive change. 

2. To develop and deliver powerful and effective campaigns, projects and advocacy for cetaceans and their habitats around the world. 

3. To empower local people, communities, organisations to influence policies, attitudes and behaviours that will protect cetaceans and their habitats. 

4. To foster collaboration and build capacity throughout our partnership and beyond. 

5. To create an environment where all cetaceans are able to live free from cruelty, exploitation and suffering, with no need to be rescued from captivity. 

6. To promote and inspire a sense of awe, connection and respect for cetaceans and their ocean habitats. 7. To transform our society to one where the importance of cetaceans and their habitats is ingrained.

## **WORLD CETACEAN ALLIANCE** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

## **Public Benefit statement** 

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

As the world emerged from the global pandemic, the year continued to provide the WCA with on-going challenges. As with 2020, despite these, the WCA was able to continue to move forward maintaining its work and continuing to develop and grow its principal projects. 

The year may also be described as one of transition. Following the announcement last year that Dylan Walker would be stepping down as CEO, in May 2021 Harry Eckman was formally appointed as his successor. Dylan was a defining influence without who’s dedication and drive the WCA would simply not be where it is today. 

As the WCA enters a new era, the Trustees are delighted to welcome Harry as his successor whose experience and expertise has already been influential. 

Against this background the WCA has refocused its strategy looking forward for the next 10 years. This will continue to evolve and ‘in a race against time’, the vision, mission, values and objectives reflect fundamental areas of concern including climate change, habitat degradation and cetacean populations both wild and captive. 

The Whale Heritage Sites continue to be a flagship project and have expanded further with its 5th site being designated in South Africa’s Algoa Bay. We hope that in years to come this will remain a benchmark project that brings communities and the protection of local cetaceans together providing a benefit to all. The World Animal Protection (WAP) grant remains instrumental in helping this project continue. 

Comment was made in 2020 concerning the further development and implementation of whale watching certification. This continued during 2021 and will remain an area of further review the aim of which is to provide clarity and transparent benefits to the WCA Partners and supporters. 

The importance of education remains as one of the key missions for the WCA. The development and expansion of online courses including whale ship strikes continued with further online courses and collaborations planned for 2022. This will help to continue spreading awareness and knowledge about the marine issues the WCA endeavours to resolve, as well as becoming a valuable source of income. 

## **Financial review** 

Although the WCA continues to operate within limited resources, against a challenging year, it saw its total income grow from £158,976 (2020) to £202,398. Total expenditure also grew from £115,343 (2020) to £174,755 largely due to increased staff costs following the appointment of 3 new employees. 

At the end of the year unrestricted reserves stood at £14,446 (2020 £11,076). 

As we look forward, the Trustees remain aware of the WCA’s funding and cashflow structure and will continue to work closely with the charity, after what has been an unprecedented period, to explore this area further. 

## **Reserves** 

Ideally, the charity  w ould maintain unrestricted reserves at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.  However, t h e charity is still a fledgling charity and has not yet been able to build any reserves. 

## **Risks** 

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The charity is a company limited by guarantee .

## **1 Accounting policies** 

**(Continued)** 

## **1.5 Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment  to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation  can be measured reliably. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure  was incurred. 

## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets  are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. 

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: 

Computers 

3 years Straight Line 

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities . 

## **1.7 Impairment of fixed assets** 

At each reporting end date, the  charity  reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any ) . 

## **1.8 Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less . 

## **1.9 Financial instruments** 

The  charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. 

Financial instruments are recognised in the  charity 's  balance sheet  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 debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at the recoverable amount. 

## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ 

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price . 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of  operations  from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at  the settlement amount.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the  charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. 

## **1.11 Retirement benefits** 

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due. 

## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the charity’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 where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
