Commonwealth Pharmacists Association Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 30th June 2024

The trustees submit their report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30th June 2024.

Chair’s Foreword

It is a considerable pleasure again to write the Chair’s Foreword for the Commonwealth Pharmacists Association Annual Report. I am delighted to report another very successful year, led by our excellent Chief Executive Victoria Rutter. My thanks to all the staff and volunteers both here in the UK and especially working in-country for their contributions to the work of the CPA.

In the course of the year we said goodbye to trustee Manjula Halai (to whom thanks and best wishes for the future). In the coming year we shall lose a number of other valued trustees (and so will be seeking actively to replace them).

This Report reveals a good range of programmes, and a strong financial base. It means the Association, supported by the trustees, must now be ambitious to extend the range and geographical reach of what we do. In the past year we have launched the CPA Academy as an identifiable home for our continuing education and leadership training programmes. The Chief Executive and her team continue to be successful in identifying and winning grant support for our work, which is essential. I am happy to acknowledge here the generous financial support we receive from our backers (all listed elsewhere in the Report), and the continuing support of the Commonwealth and the Royal Pharmaceutical Society in facilitating our work.

Objectives and Activities

The CPA’s charitable objectives are:

To advance health for the public benefit by collaborating with other health-related organisations and institutions within and outside the Commonwealth and providing administrative and financial support where possible.
To advance education for the public benefit (and particularly amongst pharmaceutical staff) by facilitating the dissemination of knowledge about the pharmaceutical sciences and the professional practice of pharmacy through meetings, literature distribution, electronic media and fellowship or exchange programmes.
To advance health for the public benefit through quality improvement of pharmacy practice, particularly in relation to the promotion of safe and effective systems of medicines management, the promotion of healthier lifestyles and supporting measures to reduce health inequalities.

1. Summary of Main Activities

An accredited organisation of the Commonwealth, the CPA is a registered charity, leading and developing the pharmacy profession for the benefit of the people of the Commonwealth. The CPA works collaboratively across the Commonwealth to empower pharmacists to improve health and well-being of the communities they serve. The CPA has a growing collaboration plan with WHO and is in special relations, ensuring the strategic alignment of the CPA’s work to delivering the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Commonwealth Pharmacists Association Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 30th June 2024

CPA’s strategy has been designed around three clear strategic goals. Although these goals cut across all programmes of work, our programmes can be categorised according to the primary goal of alignment as follows::

1. 1.1. Workforce Capability Building

The CPA has focused on advancing education and capacity building through various impactful initiatives:

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Platform: The platform saw significant growth, with over 10,858 pharmacists enrolled from 20 countries, and new member countries including Sri Lanka, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, and Zimbabwe. Four new courses on tuberculosis management and behavioural change were launched, bringing the total to 12 active courses. Plans for 2024 include interactive webinars, case studies, and new courses on communicable and non-communicable diseases.
Critical Care Course (with UCLH): This 12-month course continues to enhance pharmacists' skills in critical care settings in LMICs. Delivered in collaboration with UCLH, it trained pharmacists from 12 countries, with plans for expanded cohorts starting in 2025.
AMS Leadership Fellowship for Africa (ALF-A): The fellowship supported 45 mid-career pharmacists across two cohorts, equipping them with leadership skills in antimicrobial stewardship (AMS). Communities of Practice events engaged stakeholders and integrated projects into national AMR agendas.
Pharmacy Workforce Data: In partnership with WHO and FIP, the CPA launched an initiative to collect pharmacy workforce data across Commonwealth countries. A data collection form was developed and disseminated, with data being collected on an ongoing basis to support workforce strategy and advocacy efforts.

2. 1.2. Health Systems Strengthening

The CPA strengthened healthcare systems through innovative programmes and resources:

PharmAid: Renewed our partnership with BookAid International, dispatching 5,000+ books to 10 countries, including Malawi, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone. Additional shipments reached Lesotho, Sri Lanka, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Plans are underway to continue expanding book distribution.
SPARC Programme: Delivered antimicrobial stewardship solutions, including:
Prescribing Companion App, which added guidelines from five countries and reached over 22,000 healthcare professionals since launch. The app is now integrated into AMS activities in 16 countries.
Data for Action training, planning for development and delivery of curated training modules in 5 countries to support 5 countries using antimicrobial use and surveillance data to inform policy and practice for better AMS.
Malawi eMMS Pilot, aimed at improving antimicrobial use data collection, progressed with stakeholder engagement and system development.
CwPAMS Programme: Supported 24 AMS projects in eight countries, with workshops, webinars, and country monitoring visits strengthening implementation. Integration with national systems occurred in Zambia, Malawi, and Nigeria.

Commonwealth Pharmacists Association Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 30th June 2024

VIPSD: The Voluntary Information and Price Sharing Database facilitated procurement collaboration. Scoping for eight countries informed future development, and a Heads of Procurement Network was established.

3. 1.3. Advocacy, Campaigns, and Events

The CPA actively championed pharmacists’ roles in improving health systems and addressing global health priorities:

Commonwealth Civil Society Policy Forum and Health Ministers Meeting: Presented actionable recommendations on health system resilience, workforce sustainability, and climate change's health impacts. These influenced discussions at the Commonwealth Health Ministers Meeting and broader Commonwealth advocacy.
World AMR Awareness Week 2023: Focused on engaging young pharmacists through webinars and campaigns, raising awareness about antimicrobial resistance. Activities reached thousands via social media and events.
Commonwealth Pharmacists Day 2024: Celebrated under the theme "Pharmacists Developing Resilient and Sustainable Health Systems for All." Pharmacists actively participated by sharing personalized flyers and videos. The campaign reached over 25% of CPA’s social media audience and emphasized building resilient healthcare systems.

2. Public Benefit

Upon appointment, all trustees are required to sign a Code of Conduct that outlines the commitment to CPA’s charitable objectives and working for the benefit of the public. Trustees are formally briefed on and sent the constitution and links to the Charities Commission Guide on the Responsibilities of Trustees on appointment and asked to familiarise themselves with these documents, as part of the trustee induction process.

As the charity has grown significantly over the last few years, trustee training has been introduced and took place between October and December 2023 - this included further emphasis on all Charities Commission’s Guidance, including that relating to public benefit.

● 3. Contribution made by volunteers

A volunteer governance/risk advisor continued to support the work of the charity.

Several volunteers also work for the CPA, including 7 individuals who contributed their skills and expertise as an extension of our research and programmes teams.

2.2. CwPAMS - Commonwealth Partnerships for Antimicrobial Stewardship

Background and Aim: The CwPAMS programme aims to tackle antimicrobial resistance (AMR) by supporting low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to generate, share and use data to improve antimicrobial use and clinical practice, and encourage further investment in AMR. The programme is managed by CPA in partnership with the Global Health Partnerships (formerly THET - Tropical Health and Education Trust), and is funded by the UK Department of Health and Social Care’s Fleming Fund.

Countries: Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia. In partnership with the United Kingdom.

Key Deliverables

Twenty-four AMS projects, initiated in March 2023 across eight CwPAMS countries, are still ongoing. All eight Hub and Spoke partnerships successfully onboarded their respective spoke sites and initiated the capacity building and knowledge sharing between the hub and spoke sites.
Facilitation of workshops: Health partnerships were trained on several areas in the last year – including using data for quality improvement, One Health, substandard and falsified medicines (SFMs). The number of participants in each webinar ranged from 40-150 attendees across all eight CwPAMS countries. The recordings of the webinars were made available for partnerships to view and use for local training.
Access to Behaviour Change Module on CPA CPD platform: Over 90 healthcare professionals were given access to undertake the module.
Developed tools and resources including: a webinar and Q&A document to raise awareness of SFMs ; infographics and leaflets to support quality sampling procedures in the laboratory.
Country monitoring and support visits: Across January-March 2024, CPA and GHP undertook incountry monitoring visits across the eight CwPAMS countries to assess the progress of projects, meet with partnership teams, discuss challenges, and bolster implementation of CwPAMS projects. CPA, GHP, and ICC teams worked with the local partnership teams to identify project achievements, discuss possible solutions to challenges, and identify opportunities to maximise success during the remaining programme period.
Increase in use of the Prescribing Companion App: Promotional events were held in each of the 8 CwPAMS countries to promote use of the Prescribing Companion App. They contributed to an additional 8000 users on the app at the end of April 2024.
Integration of CwPAMS into national mechanisms: The ICCs facilitated country-specific ownership of the CwPAMS projects. For example, in Zambia, the ICCs started submitting quarterly progress updates to the Zambia National Public Health Institute on CwPAMS activities. In Malawi, two hospital managements have now allocated a monthly budget for AMS activities and another hospital has allocated a budget to support procurement and support antibiogram development.In Nigeria, the Director General of the NCDC has included CwPAMS into the national AMR programme.
Conducted a series of Community Pharmacy focused discussions to leverage contextual experiences for developing resources and tools to promote AMS in CPs: 3 sets of focused discussions were held with TEICCs and Partnerships, bringing together 30 participants.

Commonwealth Pharmacists Association Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 30th June 2024

Royal Society AMR Event : On May 16th, 2024, His Majesty's Government and the Royal Society convened a stakeholder meeting in London, to discuss AMR.

3.3. World AMR Awareness Week 2023

Background and Aim: The World AMR Awareness Week (WAAW), celebrated annually between 18[th] and 24[th] of November, is a campaign dedicated to raising awareness about antimicrobial resistance. The theme for WAAW 2023 was “Preventing antimicrobial resistance together”.

Countries: All Commonwealth countries.

Key Deliverables: The campaign and activities were recognized and endorsed by the Commonwealth Secretariat as part of the Year of the Youth Activities.

Webinar focused on young pharmacists across the Commonwealth, with over 500 registrations (mass Mailer was sent to over 12,000 recipients with 32% open rate). The event brought together young healthcare professionals and enthusiasts to discuss the current global antimicrobial resistance crisis and explore innovative solutions. The panel featured young professionals actively involved in healthcare and public health initiatives, particularly those engaged in AMR work. The primary goal of the webinar was to foster dialogue on the importance of youth perspectives in addressing the AMR crisis.
Selfie cards, with the message "I am stepping up against AMR, are you?", distributed across all our physical programs and engagements leading up to World Antimicrobial Awareness Week. At each event with pharmacists, we captured photos of pharmacists across the Commonwealth holding these cards,

Commonwealth Pharmacists Association Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 30th June 2024

which were then shared on social media throughout the week of World Antimicrobial Awareness Week. Over 33,000 impressions across Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook were achieved.

3.4. Commonwealth Pharmacists Day 2024

Background and Aim: The Commonwealth Pharmacists Day, celebrated annually on the 16th of June, is a dedicated occasion to recognize and appreciate the crucial role pharmacists perform in the healthcare systems spanning the 56 Commonwealth nations. The theme for 2024 was Pharmacists Developing Resilient and Sustainable Health Systems for all, developed in collaboration between the CPA President and staff team. The focus emphasised the critical role Pharmacists have to play in the modern healthcare landscape. We experimented this year with embedding a secondary theme into the campaign, intended to make core theme more relevant to the everyday Pharmacist, and so chose to emphasise the “Resilient” aspect of the message by also highlighting the need for the development of the #ResilientPharmacist to create resilient health systems.

Countries: All Commonwealth countries.

Key Deliverables: Building on the success of our 2023 campaign, the core of the 2024 campaign was centred around self-representation, enabling pharmacists from across the Commonwealth to participate actively. This involved:

Uploading personal photographs.
Submitting their names and respective countries.
Receiving a personalised flyer bearing their name, country, and a relevant message. These messages were themed around the #ResilientPharmacist tag and connecting individual resilience to improvements in healthcare systems or patient experience; for example “the resilient Pharmacist embraces continuous learning” or “the resilient Pharmacist finds strength in collaboration”.

Outputs and Impact

Mass Mailer: An email was sent to all CPA 13,075 current CPA subscribers celebrating the Day and encouraging involvement from our networks. The email was opened by 4,613 people, a gain of 6% on last year’s mailer.

4. Future Plans

4.1. Aims and Objectives

The Commonwealth Pharmacists Association (CPA) remains committed to its mission of improving health outcomes across the Commonwealth by enhancing pharmacy education, strengthening healthcare systems, and fostering impactful global partnerships. This section outlines CPA’s future plans and strategic objectives, which focus on expanding access to professional development resources, supporting antimicrobial stewardship efforts, and promoting leadership and advocacy within the pharmacy sector.

At the heart of CPA’s strategy is the belief that pharmacists are often the most accessible healthcare professionals in their communities, making them pivotal to improving public health and reducing health disparities. Recognising this, CPA aspires to expand its programmes to equip community pharmacists with the necessary tools and training to address key health challenges, moving beyond our award winning AMR programmes to recognise the double burden of disease faced by LMICs, putting pharmacists at the forefront of the management and prevention of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and respiratory illnesses.

Programme specific priorities are detailed further below and include the continued enhancement of initiatives such as the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) platform, the SPARC and CwPAMS programmes, and the expansion of leadership fellowships. CPA aims to strengthen partnerships, promote data-driven approaches, and increase pharmacist capacity, particularly in LMICs.

An important aspect of CPA’s future aspirations is securing sustainable funding to support its growing programmes and ensure long-term resilience. By pursuing new grant opportunities, diversifying income streams, and enhancing financial reserves, the organisation seeks to maintain operational stability and meet the evolving needs of its member countries. CPA is also committed to strengthening its internal governance, increasing volunteer engagement, and improving risk management to address organisational sustainability.

Through these efforts to empower the pharmacy profession throughout the Commonwealth, CPA aims to address global health challenges, reduce health inequalities, and contribute meaningfully to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

4.2. Practice and Educational Resources

4.1.1 PharmAid

Next steps and future work: The CPA aims to continue partnering with BookAid to continue delivering books to Commonwealth African countries.

4.1.2 Continuous Professional Development – Online Platform

Next steps and future work: The CPA has a program to deliver 2 courses in 2024 and 4 courses in 2025, along with associated webinars to support online learning and provide additional tools and resources for our learners to use in practice and patient care delivery. This initiative is in response to learner feedback from the 2023 survey, which called for more interactive webinars, case studies and an increase in learning modalities on the platform. The courses and webinars will cover communicable and non-communicable diseases, as well

Commonwealth Pharmacists Association Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 30th June 2024

as pharmacy practice, which have been highlighted as priority areas by our members. Moving forward, our courses will also incorporate opportunities for learners to reflect on practice.

4.1.3 Critical Care Course (with UCLH)

Next steps and future work: We are currently seeking funding to expand access to a larger number of pharmacists in LMICs in the next cohort, commencing in April 2025.

4.1.4 Pharmacy Workforce Data

Next steps and future work: Data collection will take place on an ongoing basis and feed into our strategy and advocacy work including workforce and education.

4.3. Programmes 4.2.1 SPARC – Surveillance and Prescribing Support for Antimicrobial Stewardship Resource Capacity Building

Next steps and future work

We anticipate to officially start implementation of SPARC II activities in September 2024 after all country work plans have been approved by the grant management agent. The main milestones/deliverables for each of the 3 core work streams are described below.

4.2.2 CwPAMS – Commonwealth Partnerships for Antimicrobial Stewardship

Next steps and future work: Over the next year, we will continue supporting implementation of the 24 AMS projects, building capacity of healthcare professionals and to strengthen country ownership, collaboration and knowledge sharing. We shall provide additional support to enhance sustainability and sharing of best practices.

4.2.3 Alf-A – AMS Leadership Programme for Africa

Next steps and future work: The next steps are to support Cohort 2 in completing their Edward Jenner Course 4 and the remaining 3 webinars on Leadership, Quality Improvement, Data Analysis and Research, and their project work. We will support all fellows in submitting their project reports in September for Cohort 1 and in December for Cohort 2.

The next key phase will include the monitoring and evaluation of the program, including the delivery, implementation, and impact on the fellows' leadership development and the mentorship program. Together with the research team, we are analysing the data collected so far (pre-fellowship surveys and post-action learning sessions) and developing tools for end-of-program questionnaires and focus group meetings for fellows and key stakeholders. Apart from internal and funders reports, we also plan to submit our findings as peer-reviewed journal publications.

4.2.4 VIPSD – Commonwealth Voluntary Information and Price Sharing Database

Next Steps and Future Work

A manuscript has been developed to be published in a peer-reviewed journal.
Continuation of the Heads of Procurement Network sessions.
Horizon scanning for resources to support further VIPSD development and implementation.

4.4 Advocacy, Campaigns

4.4.1 Commonwealth Health Ministers Meeting 2024

Next steps and future work: The six recommendations, reflecting civil society priorities, informed the subsequent Commonwealth Health Ministers meeting in enhancing healthcare resilience across the Commonwealth, ahead of the 7th WHO World Health Assembly in Geneva, Switzerland, between 27 May and 1 June 2024. The CPA has also taken these recommendations into account to further shape programmes of work, in particular around the pharmacy workforce and access to medicines.

Commonwealth Pharmacists Association Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 30th June 2024

1. Financial Review

The Charity has continued to grow after a stable income over the last 2 years preceded by a particularly rapid growth trajectory, reflected in a turnover for the year of £1.19m (2023: £725k).

The Charity’s core unrestricted fund stands at £149k (2023: £108k).

Designated funds from prior years have been expended (2023: £25k). Restricted funds are £167k (2023: £211k) which reflect the unspent funds for project activity that extends over the next financial year.

The Charity begins the new financial year in a good financial position. The total funds carried forward are £316k (2023: £344k).

2. Reserves Policy

Reserves are held to help the charity operate efficiently. The unrestricted reserves are that part of the charity’s funds that are freely available to spend on the charity’s purposes. Whilst ensuring that the charity holds at least three months of unrestricted funds to cover running costs, the reserves policy also looks at building up reserves for unforeseen expenditure which will strengthen the resilience of the charity. Unforeseen expenditure can include a shortfall in income, temporary cash flow issues, uncontrolled costs, trustee liability, sudden closure. A decision to carry c. £100k in unrestricted reserves was deemed prudent and will be reviewed quarterly in light of a growing team of employed staff. This cost relates to three months of salaries and relevant redundancy costs.

3. Principal sources of funds:

£521,149 (2023: £312,373) from the Department of Health and Social Care’s (DHSC) Fleming Fund to provide the technical input and oversight to the Commonwealth Partnerships for Antimicrobial Stewardship (CwPAMS) programme and £29,597 for the Alf-A 2 programme.
£343,502 for the SPARC Extension programme and £217,468 for the SPARC 2 programme (2023: £223,992 for the SPARC1 programme).
£23,211 (2022: £26,789) from the Royal Pharmaceutical Society to support staffing costs.
£27,369 (2022: £20,653) from membership fees and donations.
£116,246 from Pfizer carried forward from 2023 as a medical education grant to support pharmacists attaining the relevant local CPD via the CPD platform.
£22,350 from Reckitt to run an educational programme, including, but not limited to a train the trainer workshop covering Clinical Consultation Skills and expanding pharmacists scope of practice.

4. Principal Risks

The CPA has a strategic risk register in addition to those relating to individual projects. The risks to the charity have been categorised as operational, financial, regulatory, governance and external.

The response and mitigations relating to these risks are detailed in the strategic risk register and are reviewed at least quarterly by the senior management team and more formally every quarter in liaison with the Board of Trustees. A further in depth review of the risk register took place in May 2024, resulting in a much more comprehensive list of risks and a more standardised way of defining these.

Commonwealth Pharmacists Association Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 30th June 2024

5. Structure, Governance and Management

The charity is governed by the constitution accepted in December 2017, and adopted in July 2018 when the CPA officially began functioning as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). This replaced the original constitution that related to the establishment of the unincorporated charity that was adopted in Dec 2015.

The charity is a CIO consisting of 28 (2023: 25) member organisations and over 11158 (2023: 10023) individual members to date. Traditionally the CPA has been an association of member organisations. Individual reach is expected to continue to grow in line with the relationships and collaborative working opportunities developed.

6. Trustees

In accordance with the constitution, there are:

2 ex-officio Trustees (the President and immediate past President) who remain in office for the duration of their service (up to 2 terms of 2 years)
Up to 4 nominated Trustees that serve a 3-year term (currently our Treasurer and Chair)
Between 4 and 12 elected Trustees that are appointed or reappointed annually in accordance with the constitution (1/3 must step down each year) at the AGM

The Trustees can fill any casual vacancy in their number and may co-opt nor more than three additional trustees, any person so appointed being entitled to hold office until the next AGM.

Any new trustees appointed are briefed by the board of Trustees of their legal obligation under charity and company law and the contents of the Memorandum and Articles of Association. They are given copies of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, recent Trustee meeting minutes and the latest financial information.

They are also directed towards the Charity Commission website, especially to booklets CC3 “The Essential Trustee: and CC3a, “Charity Trustee: what’s involved?”. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate training events which will help them know their responsibilities.

7. Organisational Structure

The CPA is governed by the board of Trustees.

The Chief Executive Officer reports to the board of trustees and manages the day to day running of the organisation, working with the CPA team of staff, consultants, and volunteers.

The Trustees consider the Board of Trustees, the Chief Executive and the senior leadership team as comprising the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling the charity and running and operating the charity on a day-to-day basis. All Trustees give their time freely and no trustee remuneration was paid in the year. Details of Trustee expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in notes 9 and 18 to the accounts.

Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests and in accordance with the Trusts’ policy withdraw from decisions where a conflict of interest arises.

The pay of the Chief Executive and senior leadership team is reviewed annually and is normally increased in accordance with average earnings. The remuneration is reviewed to ensure that it is commensurate with similar roles.

Commonwealth Pharmacists Association Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 30th June 2024

The CPA’s council and regional assembly (previously referred to as ‘executive’) consist of representatives from the national pharmacy associations (NPAs) of the Commonwealth, from which the President and Vice president are elected. These bodies serve as an advisory board to the CPA, helping to set and deliver the strategy.

The CPA is in a unique position in terms of the organisation’s established and potential relationships, particularly in terms of:

The heritage and close working established with the six global regions of the Commonwealth over the years and the national pharmacy associations (NPAs) in Commonwealth member states.
The space the CPA owns for pharmacy, as an advocate for members at national meetings and Commonwealth forums. This includes the opportunity to work with other civil society organisations to provide input into health advisory committees and the Commonwealth Health Ministers meetings.
The special relationship we have enjoyed with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS), having originated from this organisation in 1970.
The relationships and memorandums of understandings with several partners who have aligned visions and common areas of work.
The partnership and joint working that we have established with other organisations with similar aims and objectives – for example, the Tropical Health and Education Trust (THET) whom CPA partners with to deliver CwPAMS.
The relationship developed with the world health organisation (WHO), where the CPA have an evolving collaborative work plan and are in ‘special relations’.

Fundraising standards information

The charity does not raise funds from the general public, and has had no complaints or concerns raised during the period in this respect.

Commonwealth Pharmacists Association Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 30th June 2024

Statement of Trustees responsibilities

The trustees 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).

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales 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 charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity 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 in the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102);
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed;
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the provisions of the trust deed. 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.

Commonwealth Pharmacists Association Independent Auditor’s Report For The Year Ended 30th June 2024

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Commonwealth Pharmacists Association (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 30[th] June 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow statement and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 30[th] June 2024, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the trustees' annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in

Commonwealth Pharmacists Association Independent Auditor’s Report For The Year Ended 30th June 2024

the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

the information given in the trustees' report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Enquiry of management, those charged with governance and the entity’s solicitors around actual and potential litigation claims;
Enquiry of entity staff in accounting and HR functions to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations;

Commonwealth Pharmacists Association Independent Auditor’s Report For The Year Ended 30th June 2024

Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of noncompliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www. frc.org. uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Other matters

The financial statements of The Commonwealth Pharmacists Association for the year ended 30[th] June 2023 were unaudited. An independent examination was performed which expressed an unmodified opinion.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue so it is regarded as a going concern.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates of write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Office Equipment -25% straight line on cost.

Fund’s structure

Funds held by the charity are either:

Unrestricted funds - these are funds which can be used in accordance with the Charity's objects at the trustees' discretion.

Designated funds – included within unrestricted funds, these are funds which can be used in accordance with the Charity’s objects at the trustees’ discretion and have been assigned for specific areas of activity.

Commonwealth Pharmacists Association Notes to the Financial Statements - continued For The Year Ended 30th June 2024

Restricted funds - these funds can only be used for restricted purposes within the objects of the Charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or where funds are raised for restricted purposes.
