FINANCIAL REVIEW

The financial performance of the charity is comprehensively disclosed in the attached financial statements.

The Trustees have noted the continued reliance on the surplus from the ASM to fund its activities, as well as membership fee income.

Reserves

Reserves policy

The trustees have examined the Academy’s requirements for free reserves in the light of predominant risks to the Academy - loss of income through reduced membership numbers and reduced numbers at the annual scientific meeting. The Academy is committed to a reserves policy of one year's expenditure to be available.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

Structure, governance and management:

The British Academy of Childhood Disability (BACD) was established as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation on 9 April 2018 and is managed by the Board of Trustees. The charity registration number is 1177868.

Organisational structure and management:

BACD is managed by an Executive Committee (EC) which comprises of the Trustees, elected officers with portfolios, and representatives from other related professional organisations. The EC is responsible for the day to day decisions of BACD and works closely with the Administrator to implement the day to day decisions and strategic direction, in particular:

The day-to-day management of BACD is performed by the Administrator.

Trustees and officers with a portfolio are elected via open recruitment from among the membership. A regional coordinator exists for each of the old NHS Regions to represent the views of members throughout the country. This corresponds to the area covered by the Royal College of Paediatric and Child Health (RCPCH) Regional Advisers and Council Representatives. Coordinators are elected for a period of four years by members in the relating region. A job description has been produced for members of the Executive Committee and the Regional Coordinators, which specifies the knowledge, skills and attributes needed by the members.

The EC meets three times per year. Also in attendance are the BACD regional representatives, representatives from external organisations representing the multi-disciplinary team working with disabled children and young people, and representatives from disabled children’s charities:

Administrative work is centred on the Academy’s registered office at 5 Theobalds Road, London WC1X 8SH, where there was one part-time salaried employee at the end August 2021. The Academy benefits from a great deal of voluntary work by its members in the organisation of meetings, service on committees and panels and many other activities.

Risk assessment and management:

The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

The Trustees regularly review the risks to which BACD is exposed, particularly activity, operational and financial risks and to ensure procedures and reporting regimes to manage and reduce any identified risks are in place.

The prime risk to which BACD is exposed is financial. The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on one of the two key income streams, the annual scientific meeting. The 2022 event was planned to be an in-person event. Low registration numbers along with the continued threat of a covid outbreak meant the meeting was converted to an online event, with much lower registration fees and no exhibition income. BACD has strived to reduce expenditure where possible, e.g. committee meetings continue to be held virtually, a digital only newsletter, to counteract the reduction in income. In addition, BACD is now able to claim gift aid on membership fees providing an additional income. The online regional meetings are free to attend for BACD members and continue to provide a small income through registration fees for non-members.

Report of the Trustees Continued

For the year ended 31 August 2022

Despite the reduction in income, with the lower expenditure taken into account, the Trustees are satisfied that the current level of reserves is adequate to meet both unforeseen contingencies and the costs of planned activities for the future.

BRITISH ACADEMY OF CHILDHOOD DISABILITY

Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees

For the year ended 31 August 2022

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiners statement

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

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

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 accounts to be reached.
