Page 1 **British and Irish Association of Robotic Gynaecological Surgeons** ## **Report of the Trustees** ## **for the Year Ended 30 November 2020** ## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** The society members have been less engaged in activity due to the pandemic, however, we planned virtual AGM meetings in Dec 2020 attended by members and a big annual meeting in June 2021. The membership fee was waived in 2020 to improve engagement. We have invested and developed a brand new society website with IT maintenance supports . We are planning two big training courses set up for 2021 which will be sponsored by the charity. The charity has given free membership for members for meetings, juniors and nurses, hence the income in the year has significantly reduced. Approved by order of the board of trustees on 30 September 2021 and signed on its behalf by: Ms M A E Nobbenhuis - Trustee Page 2 ## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of British and Irish Association of Robotic Gynaecological Surgeons** I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 30 November 2020, which are set out on pages four to nine. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity's trustees (and also the directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independant examination, I have examined your charity's accounts as required under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. My role is to state whether any material matters have come to my attention giving me cause to believe: 1. that accounting records were not kept as required by section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or 2. that the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. that the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the 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; or 4. that there is further information needed for a proper understanding of the accounts. ## **Independent examiner's statement** I have completed my examination and have no concerns in respect of the matters (1) to (4) listed above and, in connection with following the Directions of the Charity Commission I have found no matters that require drawing to your attention.
