## **Trustees’Report for the year ended 31 December 2021**
## **TRUSTEES REPORT**
The Trustees present their annual report and audited 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 2 of the accounts and comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities SORP 2012. In doing so they comply with the Statement of Trustees’Responsibilities shown below.
Trustees consider that in preparing the financial statements they have taken into account all information that could reasonably be expected to be available (including levels of reserves held); thus the going concern basis of accounting is deemed appropriate and there are no material uncertainties.
## **Statement of Trustees’Responsibilities**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' 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 its income and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, 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 of the Charities SORP (FRS 102) (2019);
- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and 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 Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Charity’s Constitution. 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.
## **BACKGROUND**
The Royal Engineer Yacht Club (REYC) was founded in 1846, making it one of the senior yacht clubs in the United Kingdom. Full membership is open to all serving and ex-serving Royal Engineers, with non-voting membership available to individuals (civilian and military) who are closely associated with the Corps of Royal Engineers or the Club and who support its Object.
## **ORGANISATION AND GOVERNANCE**
## **Organisation**
REYC is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (Association Model) (CIO (AM)) registered with the Charity Commission on 9 May 2018. Its governing document is its Constitution.
The Trustees manage the Club according to its Constitution and make Rules necessary for the proper conduct and management of the CIO. The Rules delegate day to day management to the Main Committee chaired by the Commodore, who is supported by the Vice Commodore and three Rear Commodores responsible for Inshore, Offshore and Regions activities. It is the practice of the Club that any new or amended Rules shall be brought to the attention of Members at a General Meeting.

**The Royal Engineer Yacht Club**
## **Trustees’Report for the year ended 31 December 2021**
Accountancy support is provided by Royal Engineer Corps’Funds at Chatham. The audited accounts accompanying this Trustees’Annual Report cover the year from 1 January to 31 December 2021, which is the Club’s third full year as a CIO.
## **Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees**
There are three Trustees elected by Full Members at a General Meeting, two of whom are required to have served previously as Flag Officers of REYC. There are two ex-officio appointments, the Commodore and Vice Commodore, also elected by Members at a General Meeting.
## **Trustee Induction and Training**
Trustees are all provided with the necessary documents on appointment and suitably trained for their charitable role. Their experience of sailing provides them with knowledge to support sailing activities.
## **OUR CHARITABLE OBJECT**
Our Charitable Object is, for the public benefit, the promotion of the efficiency of the armed forces of the Crown by:
- the provision and support of sailing facilities, equipment and activities for the efficiency and well-being of Service personnel;
- increasing physical fitness of members of the Services through sailing;
- providing opportunities for Service personnel to gain additional experience and develop the military virtues of courage, self-reliance, mental robustness, endurance and leadership relevant to their jobs;
- encouraging esprit de corps and fostering high morale through representation in sporting competitions;
- providing an association which supports the Corps of Royal Engineers and enables serving and former members to mix together, and creating opportunities for mentoring junior leaders by older, more experienced members.
## **ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2021**
The Trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission of England and Wales guidance on public benefit when deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
The Club’s activities are conducted as follows:
- The Offshore Division has operated two yachts throughout this period, having reduced from four in the previous year. These are available for sail training; adventurous training; competing in sailing regattas throughout the year and cruising.
- The Inshore Division is responsible for dinghy sailing, windsurfing and kite surfing, with teams from these disciplines participating in competitions and running an annual development week for novices.
- The Regions Division is responsible for coordinating and supporting Club activities across the UK.
Despite Covid restrictions, all divisions are to be congratulated for active participation in training, competition, adventurous expeditions and cruising. Our activities contributed substantially to the general well-being of serving soldiers, whether Club members or not. Other members took part to support the Corps and mentor less experienced people.
## **Offshore Division**
The 2021 offshore sailing season got off to a relatively slow start due to the gradual easing of Covid pandemic restrictions at the start of the year. Despite this slow start our two offshore yachts, Trojan and Right Royal, were used extensively in 2021 and provided some excellent opportunities to get out on the water both for serving soldiers and the wider military sailing community. Demand for the yachts was high, capitalising on a pent up desire to get back on the water during the Covid pandemic.

## **The Royal Engineer Yacht Club**
## **Trustees’Report for the year ended 31 December 2021**
The high point of the 2021 season was Trojan’s successful campaign to complete the Fastnet Race, maintaining the Club’s unique record of participation in every race since the event started in 1925. The Fastnet campaign was led and skippered by WO2 Jason West and included entry into five of the qualifying RORC races; the Myth of Malham, Morgan Cup, De Guingand Bowl, St Malo Race and the Channel Race. In addition the crews completed pre-requisite medical and sea safety training courses. The format for 2021 was longer than in previous years with a finish in Cherbourg rather than in Plymouth and challenging wind and tide conditions. The race started with very strong winds in the Solent and finished with little wind but strong tides off Cherbourg making it very much a test of perseverance.
The Army Offshore Regatta (AOR) took place in September 2021 rather than its normal slot earlier in the season. The club won in both the IRC and Cruising Divisions and also won the best novice skipper prize. Although the club didn’twin the coveted Dolphin trophy for overall points, it was a close fought regatta and the club put in a very good performance as the only club to enter yachts in all three categories. The Lymington Meet was also well attended with a strong mix of serving and retired crews; the RLymYC retained the Carlier Trophy by a fine margin in the fleet racing format despite a very strong performance by Trojan.
The RE Sail Training Week (RESTW) resumed in 2021 after a pause in 2020. The event was well supported by RE units and introduced a large number of first-time sailors to the sport as well as building mileage and confidence for some of the more experienced skippers and crews. The plan for 2022 is to build on the success of 2021 and to run Inshore and Offshore STWs concurrently in order to provide the opportunity for greater interaction between the two Divisions and to encourage cross-fertilisation of talent.
The decision was taken at the 2020 AGM to continue with a two-yacht offshore fleet. This will see Trojan retained as the Club’s racing yacht, whilst Right Royal was sold off in early 2022 to be replaced in due course with a similar cruising yacht, assisted by an Army Sailing Association-administered Nuffield Trust grant, and reserves in our Hulls Fund. The exact age, nature and specification of the new yacht will be decided by a yacht replacement subcommittee and it is expected that a new yacht will be found and purchased during the 2022 season.
## **Inshore Division**
Dinghy Sailing, Windsurfing and Kitesurfing restarted quickly after pandemic restrictions eased and benefited greatly from the enthusiasm of a small pool of volunteers and several new members. As well as investing heavily in soldiers at 1 RSME, recruiting expanded with new posters and REYC branded team clothing. Investment in RE dinghy sailing over recent years has resulted in a growth in participation and an increasingly competitive race team. To consolidate these gains, regional hubs across the UK, with affiliations to local sailing clubs, will be established in 2022.
With support from REYC, 1 RSME Regiment organised structured sail training at Medway Yacht Club, delivering a total of 108 sail training sessions on Wednesday afternoons. The racing team upgraded and tuned the REYC Laser 2000 dinghies (Stan and Townsend) and competed strongly in two National Championships at Torbay (6th and 32nd) and Thorney Island (9th and 14th). In team racing, they successfully defended the Lagos Trophy (for the fourth time in a row), beating off strong competition from the Infantry and REME teams.
Although there are several talented and elite windsurfers and kiters in the Corps, further investment, recruitment effort and training are required to grow participation and establish a foundation of volunteers and instructors. The RE Windsurfing team came 2nd in the Army Windsurfing Championships in Sep 21, pipped to the post by a strong AMS team. They secured strong individual results, finishing 4th & 5th overall. Capt Dave Curry was selected for an Army Elite Athlete Scholarship for iQ Foil Windsurfing. He competed strongly in several national events and attended the iQ Foil World Championships in Switzerland in August 21. A few intermediate windsurfers have been introduced to iQ Foil Windsurfing using the REYC held equipment.
The newest discipline, Kitesurfing, was formally established as part of the REYC in early 2020. On the back of a superb overseas sports visit in late 2020, team members participated in Army competitions and delivered an inclusive UK training event. In Nov 21, six RE kiters from across the UK met at RMB Chivenor in North Devon. Despite light winds, a newly qualified instructor from 23 Engr Regt provided some great tips and techniques for kiters to practice in the waves. They left feeling invigorated and determined to run more UK training events and an overseas expedition in 2022.

## **Trustees’Report for the year ended 31 December 2021**
## **Regions Division**
The Regions Division successfully re-instated the annual Meet at Lymington, though delayed to September because of Covid restrictions. We expect to revert to a Spring Meet in 2022.
The RE Sail Training Week was supported by retired members sailing in company with the sail training fleet providing advice, setting courses and a Skippers Quiz.
Development of the Chatham Branch moorings and facilities has been progressing slowly since AGM 2020. Further development at Chatham will be contingent on the production of a business case considering whether the Branch can be financially self-supporting, managerially sustainable, and contributes effectively to our Charitable Object.
## **Central Club Activities**
**Club Administration.** During 2021, the Main Committee selected Sailing Club Manager (SCM) as the preferred solution to improve administration, and work is now under way to implement it. The new system will be rolled out progressively covering, membership, communications, chartering, events and voting.
**Strategic Direction.** A 10 Year Strategic Plan, REYC Strategy 2021, has been produced which is to be implemented by the Main Committee from 2022. Trustees will monitor progress of activities to confirm they conform with Strategic Goals and our Charitable Object.
**Annual Dinner.** The Annual Dinner in Chatham, where prizes, Corps colours and awards are presented had to be cancelled. It provides an opportunity for all members of the Club to come together and we will look for alternative options for 2022 at more cost-effective venues, probably closer to our south coast sailing centre.
**Key Appointments.** All appointments are voluntary. With the Army shrinking, individual commitments are growing. It is increasingly difficult for serving members to administer the Club. The preference is for serving members to hold the majority of appointments in order to promote succession planning based on knowledge, but we are considering non-serving members taking up key roles which cannot be vacant. A retired member is now Hon Secretary and we will shortly do the same for the role of Hon Treasurer. Retired members will be encouraged to support and mentor serving personnel in Club appointments and provide cover when they are deployed on operations.
**Overall Activity Days.** The breakdown for the 2021 season in terms of ‘person sailing days’using REYC owned yachts, dinghies and boards is as follows:
||**Total Training Days**|
|---|---|
|**Inshore**|**184**|
|**Offshore**|**554**|
|**Total**|**738**|
Unit sponsored adventure training and the individual use of JSASTC yachts and facilities, together with larger expeditions, are not shown here. It should be noted that these activities are often enabled by the Club: expeditions are either led and organised by Club Members or indirectly supported via experience and qualifications of individuals developed through use of REYC assets.
## **2021 FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Principal Funding**
REYC’s income comes from Member subscriptions, voluntary donations, Royal Engineer Corps’grants, and grants provided through the Army Sailing Association, e.g. Army Welfare and Nuffield Trust.
The Club remains solvent. The financial plan for all divisions of the Club is reviewed at least annually to better inform any decisions to change spending, review the yacht replacement plan, and to support bids for external grants.
Page 5
**The Royal Engineer Yacht Club**
## **Trustees’Report for the year ended 31 December 2021**
The intention to migrate the Chatham Branch account to management with all other Club funds by the Corps Treasurer has not been concluded and will be a priority for early 2022.
## **Reserves Policy**
REYC has a 12 Year Financial Plan, reviewed annually, reflecting income and expenditure including equipment replacement funded through the Hulls Fund and other sources. We intend to align this with the 10 year period of our Strategy.
REYC’s reserves policy is to maintain a minimum of 6 months’operating capital held as cash.
The Club invests the balance of its cash in a low risk, interest earning vehicle. This will be reviewed in 2022 to ensure we are investing as productively as possible.
## **Insurance**
Following a review of risks and activities, with advice from the Royal Yachting Association, REYC updated its insurance arrangements to ensure proper cover and transparency. This led to an increase in both cover and cost for insurance. The Trustees are satisfied that appropriate policies are now in place but will continue to seek best value for money.
## **Balance Sheet**
The accumulated funds increased by £73,693 to £417,268 (2020: decreased by £17,438 to £343,575). This increase is accounted for largely by the increase in value of our capital assets - our yachts - which is very much at the whim of the used yacht market, and by the inclusion of the capital value of Club silver, shown on our balance sheet for the first time this year at the auditors’request.
Notes to the Statement of Financial Activities and Balance Sheet provide supplementary information against each funding activity.
## **Fund Designation**
The Club maintains one Unrestricted, four Designated and two Restricted Funds.
- **Unrestricted** . The Main Fund supports REYC activity not included in the other Club Funds in furtherance of the Object.
- **Designated.**
- **Chatham.** The Chatham Fund supports the Object of the REYC principally on the River Medway and, when financially able, wider Club activity. Income to the Fund comes from Member mooring fees and other local activity.
- **Inshore.** The Inshore Fund supports the Object of the REYC in inshore sailing, namely dinghy, board and kite sailing. Inshore boats and equipment are included in this Fund. It receives grants from the Main Fund as well as grants through the Army Sailing Association. Charter fees are currently not levied for the use of dinghies and boards.
- **Offshore.** The Offshore Fund supports the Object of the REYC in offshore sailing, namely sail training, adventurous training, sporting activities and cruising. The Club-owned yachts are included in this Fund. It receives grants from the Main and Hulls Funds, as well as from the Army Sailing Association. Charter fees, set annually, are paid for the use of Club yachts.
- **Hulls.** The Hulls Fund supports the REYC’s equipment replacement programme. A percentage, set annually, of all charter fees provides income to this Fund.
- **Restricted.**
Page 6
**The Royal Engineer Yacht Club**
## **Trustees’Report for the year ended 31 December 2021**
- **Hulls.** The Hulls Fund (Restricted) also supports the REYC’s equipment replacement programme. Income to this Fund comes from Members’donations and legacies and, as such, must be accounted for separately from the Hulls Fund (Designated). Gift Aid is claimed from Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs.
- **H&M Trust.** The H&M Trust (Charity Number 272391) was set up by the owner of H&M Engineering, formerly in Chatham Dockyard, and makes annual grants to the REYC to support the costs incurred by non-commissioned soldiers of the Corps of Royal Engineers when undertaking sailing of any discipline. Accordingly, it is managed as a Restricted Fund.
## **OBSERVATIONS ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT**
The Trustees make the following observations:
- a. **General.** Activity levels in 2021 began to climb from virtually nil in 2020, but still have a long way to go to return to the pre-Covid levels of 2019. For example Inshore activity in 2021 totalled only 47% of that in 2019, and Offshore activity represented just 42% of 2019 activity. From an accounting perspective our total income in 2021 exceeded our expenditure and has reversed the situation we faced in 2020. However, this surplus of income over expenditure includes the fact that Club silver has been taken onto our Balance Sheet for the first time. Without this our excess of expenditure over income would have been £15,751, which is of a similar order to the 2020 figure. The following accounting points are to be noted:
1. Donated Service. The combined salaries for the two Bosuns (£77,713) have been accounted for as cost neutral.[1]
2. Staff Costs. Accountancy support costs provided by the HQ RE Accountant (£2,167).
3. Sundry Costs. Day-to-day operational costs (£3,563) (eg postage, website fees, telephones).
- b. **Hulls Fund (Restricted).** Action continues to claim Gift Aid on eligible Hulls Fund donations for the four years from 2017. It is anticipated the total value could be circa £2,000.
- c. **Debtors and Creditors.** The Trustees are satisfied that Debtors (£120,281) and Creditors (£1,176) are being managed properly. The debt consists of two managed sums; RNSA Key Deposit (Chatham) (£245), and funds being held in the 32-day notice account managed by RECCT (£120,036).
## **Principal Risks and Uncertainties**
Trustees maintain a Risk Register of the strategic, business and operational risks to which the Charity is exposed and receive regular updates from the Main Committee.
Two major risks associated with the Offshore Division materialised this year. First, early in 2021 the Club was notified that provision of bosuns by the Corps would not be continued beyond spring 2022. Initial work was undertaken by the Main Committee to address this, but it was quickly realised that maintenance and handling of charters across the offshore fleet would be untenable in their current form. The Acting Commodore commissioned a study to look at alternatives, including the possibility that the Club may no longer own its own yachts. The Trustees endorsed the excellent work carried out by the study group and supported the final short-listing of 2 options; Club-employed bosun/s, or a yacht management company. These will be developed further in early 2022.
The second risk materialised whilst the offshore study was under way when the imminent closure of the berths and shore facilities at Dolphin Pool was announced. Quick reaction by the Main and Offshore Committees has secured one berth for Trojan at the Hornet Services Sailing Club (HSSC) and another berth is expected to be available for the replacement of Right Royal. The availability of the facilities at HSSC is now linked with the final solution for maintenance and day-to-day management of the offshore fleet. Detailed work continues, but the expectation is that two REYC yachts will be berthed at HSSC. The preferred outcome is that the Club can form a partnership with HSSC to help manage our yachts. This may take some time to

## **Trustees’Report for the year ended 31 December 2021**
arrange and an alternative solution for yacht management may be required for the initial period as the Corps bosuns are withdrawn. The new arrangements are expected to be affordable, but more expensive and a review of the charter rates will be undertaken prior to the 2022 season. The Trustees noted that current charter rates are below those of other service yacht clubs.
## **Plans for the future**
The Trustees will continue to support the objectives of the Charity for the foreseeable future.
## **CONCLUSION**
Since becoming a Charitable Incorporated Organisation our focus has been on accounting and auditing arrangements, introducing new management systems, managing risk associated with our Offshore fleet, and setting strategic direction for the Club. Much of this has been done whilst grappling with the challenges of Covid 19. We now have firm foundations in place and Trustees now expect to focus on developing sailing, growing the Club and strengthening our relationship with the serving Corps.

## **Independent auditor’s report to the Trustees of The Royal Engineer Yacht Club**
We have audited the financial statements of The Royal Engineer Yacht Club (the ‘charity) for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the Statement of financial activities, the Balance sheet, the Statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of 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).
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities in preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.
This has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.
In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and the parent charity's affairs as at 31 December 2020 and of its income and application of resources 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’s 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 United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council’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.

## **Independent Auditor’s report to the Trustees of The Royal Engineers Yacht Club (continued)**
## **Other information**
The Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report, other than the financial statements and our Auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statement or our knowledge obtained in 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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 the 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 where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires 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 and returns; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and auditor**
As explained more fully in the Trustees' responsibilities statement, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the 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’s 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 ISA’s (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 economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
10
## **Independent Auditor’s report to the Trustees of The Royal Engineers Yacht Club (continued)**
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:
_Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities, including fraud_
The objectives of our audit are to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud or error; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud or error; and to respond appropriately to those risks.
Based on our understanding of the charity and sector, and through discussion with the directors and other management (as required by auditing standards), we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to health and safety, anti-bribery and employment law. We considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006 and the Statement of Recommended Practice. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls). Audit procedures performed by the audit engagement team included:
- Discussions with management and assessment of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations (including health and safety) and fraud; and
- Assessment of identified fraud risk factors; and
- Review of cash expenditure to confirm no evidence of personal benefit; and
- Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates; and
- Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships, including related party transactions, that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud; and
- Confirmation of related parties with management, and review of transactions throughout the period to identify any previously undisclosed transactions with related parties outside the normal course of business; and
- Reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; and
- Review of significant and unusual transactions; and
- Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any manual entries made at the year end for financial statement preparation.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed noncompliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion of the effectiveness of the charity’s internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Trustees.
11
## **Independent Auditor’s report to the Trustees of The Royal Engineers Yacht Club (continued)**
- Conclude on the appropriateness of the Trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in my Auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of my Auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
## **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 its Trustees, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

**Notes to the financial statements as at 31 December 2021**
## **The Royal Engineer Yacht Club**
## **1 General administrative information**
The Royal Engineer Yacht Club is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation in England & Wales with the registration number 1178311. The address of the registered office is RE Corps Funds, Brompton Barracks, Dock Road, Chatham, Kent, ME4 4UG. The Charity's principal objectives continued to be the promotion of the efficiency of the Armed Forces of the Crown by: provision and support of sailing facilities; increasing physical fitness through sailing; encouraging Esprit de Corps through representation in sporting competitions; and providing an association which supports the Corps of Royal Engineers.
## **2 Accounting policies**
## **2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the 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) (2019).
The Royal Engineer Yacht Club meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
## **2.2 Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis**
The Trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern. The Trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
## **2.3 Fund Accounting**
General unrestricted funds represent unrestricted income which is expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in the furtherance of the objects of the Charity.
Designated funds represent amounts which have been put aside out of unrestricted funds at the discretion of the Trustees to meet specific purposes.
Restricted funds represent income which is allocated by the donor for specific purposes. These are explained in detail on page 6 in the Trustees' report.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
## **2.4 Income**
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Page 15
**Notes to the financial statements as at 31 December 2021**
## **The Royal Engineer Yacht Club**
## **2 Accounting policies**
## **2.5 Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is an obligation to commiting the Charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis.
Cost of charitable activities includes the apportionment of support costs shown in note 10.
## **2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation**
Assets costing greater than or equal to £500 are capitalised and valued at historic cost. Depreciation is charged on assets using a straight –line basis over their estimated life on the following basis:
Yachts not depreciated Windsurfing and Dinghy 10%-100% per annum Other equipment 10%-20% per annum
## **2.7 Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **2.8 Cash at bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## **2.9 Liabilities and provisions**
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges.
## **2.10 Financial instruments**
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
## **2.11 Donated services and facilities**
Donated services, are included in income at a valuation which is an estimate of the financial cost borne by the donor where such a cost is quantifiable and measurable. This amount is matched by donated expenditure.
