REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The Trustees, who are also directors of the charitable company for the purposes of the Companies Act, submit their annual report and the independently examined financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association 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 2015).
PURPOSES AND AIMS
The charity had been operating for many years as an unincorporated entity (charity registration number 327290) but these activities were taken over by the new charitable company from 1 April 2016. The assets and liabilities of the unincorporated charity were taken over on this date. The company was incorporated (company number 09732439) on 13 August 2015 and registered with the Charity Commission (reg. number 1165766) on 25 February 2016. The charitable company is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association.
There are currently 8 members of the charitable company. All members agree to contribute £1 in the event of the company winding up.
The objects of the Federation are the preservation of health by advancing the knowledge, practice of and expertise in aromatherapy by education, teaching, research and training.
The chair of the Trustees is nominated and elected by the Board of Directors at the first council meeting after the AGM. New members are nominated by the Trustees and selected for appointment by the Trustees.
New Trustees undergo a period of induction to brief them of their legal obligations under Charity and Company Law, the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the decisionmaking processes.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces and confirm that systems have been established to enable regular reports to be produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to lessen these risks.
RESERVES POLICY
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level, which equates to approximately six months unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management and administration and support costs.
THE INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF AROMATHERAPISTS
REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 (CONTINUED)
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The charity recorded a surplus of £143,866 for the year (2023: surplus of £173,646) resulting in total reserves of £1,441,106 at 31 December 2024 (2023: £1,297,240). All reserves are unrestricted.
ACTIVITIES
The International Federation of Aromatherapists (IFA) has successfully navigated the financial year ending 31 December 2024 with a focus on strategic growth, prudent expense management, and sustainable operations.
The total turnover for the year was £537,709, compared to £580,268 in 2023. School registration fees increased from £37,390 in 2023 to £45,275 in 2024 due to new schools joining, which is expected to positively impact membership growth in the upcoming year. While international workshops were not held, a UK conference was organised, contributing £9,920 to revenue. Exam revenue decreased from £205,610 in 2023 to £137,290 in 2024 due to ownership changes in two major schools, preventing exams from taking place. However, new contracts have been signed, ensuring future recovery. Membership subscriptions remained stable at £300,598, reflecting a strong retention rate. Additionally, interest and investment income saw a significant increase from £8,193 to £22,751 due to better interest rates on additional savings.
On the expense side, exam costs reduced from £40,912 in 2023 to £29,131 in 2024, aligning with lower exam-related activities. Translation costs increased from £7,933 to £10,680 due to additional translation requirements for webinars. Bank charges and streamline fees increased from £8,744 to £12,529, reflecting a change in merchant services to reduce overseas charges and avoid service disruptions. Postage costs rose from £43,687 to £49,674, largely due to inflationary pressures. Salaries increased from £162,357 to £195,206 due to inflation and additional staffing requirements. The organisation spent £6,298 on organizing the UK conference, which offset lost revenue from international workshops.
Key financial highlights include a drastic reduction in research costs from £43,140 in 2023, reflecting a shift in research priorities. Overall cost of sales decreased from £109,629 to £63,544, contributing to improved gross profit. However, administrative costs increased from £306,786 to £330,881, primarily due to salaries, banking fees, and postage. The net surplus for the year was £143,866, lower than £173,646 in 2023, mainly due to reduced exam income.
IFA remains financially stable with a solid membership base and controlled expenses. Moving forward, the key strategic focus areas will be leveraging new school registrations to drive membership growth, capitalising on new exam contracts to restore exam revenue, continuing costsaving measures particularly in administrative and operational areas, and exploring opportunities to expand workshop and conference offerings. Overall, IFA is well-positioned to maintain financial sustainability while supporting its mission of advancing aromatherapy worldwide.

REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 (CONTINUED)
ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED)
We held a UK Clinical Aromatherapy conference in London and invited a wide range of speakers to enhance our attendee’s knowledge, this was attended globally. The peer’s interaction was exceptional, trade stands were organised, the day was a success.
We sponsored St Annes Special Needs school which is the senior school to Mandeville school where the children are severely disabled with multiple disorders. The line managers are taught how to introduce and use aromatherapy within the classrooms, the feedback has been excellent with the children benefiting from the aromatherapy treatments. We have continued training so the children who have benefited in their younger years have continuity.
We also contributed to our yearly Christmas Crisis project for the homeless again, which involved our local communities. We supplied 2000 aromatherapy health and wellbeing packs to support them.
Schools in mainline China had not been visited since Covid so all schools in Beijing and Shanghai were met and engaged with to ensure high standards were being adhere to. Regional meetings were organised withing the cities and our evidence-based research projects were discussed. The meetings were very well attended, and it was a good opportunity to talk through how we can support them more.
We invested and collaborated with Northumbria University during 2023/2024 on two research projects. Both trials came in positive, clearly showing Aromatherapy essential oil /Co2 plant extracts reduce stress. In 2025 the papers will be publish in medical journals which will be a big boost to our profession and industry which was our aim and objective for running the trials.
We continue to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA), a UK body accountable to parliament and are an active member of the PSA Collaborative group and Integrated Health Collaboration (IHC). We are also a verifying organisation of aromatherapists for the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) and consultants for National Institute and Care Excellence (Nice). This enables us to ensure our members are at the forefront of developments in the field and to represent our members interests collectively before Government bodies.
We also continue to be recommended by the NHS, UK Government National Careers Office and Universities and Colleges Admissions Office (UCAS) and our journal registered with the British Library.

THE INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF AROMATHERAPISTS
REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 (CONTINUED)
TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for 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.
In accordance with company law, as the charitable company Trustees, we certify that:
-
so far as we are aware, there is no relevant information of which the charitable company’s independent examiners are unaware; and
-
as the Trustees of the charitable company have taken all the steps that we ought to have taken as directors in order to make ourselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the company’s independent examiner is aware of that information.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER
The trustees consider that for the year ended 31 December 2024 the company was entitled to exemption from a statutory audit under section 477 of the Companies Act 2006. Under the provisions of the Act, the directors have appointed Mr Malcolm Barry Boydell FCA, as Independent Examiner.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
ON BEHALF OF THE TRUSTEES:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES ON THE UNAUDITED ACCOUNTS OF
THE INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF AROMTHERAPISTS (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 December 2024 which are set out on pages 7 to 14.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
(a) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
(b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or
-
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
