The Trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 October 2022

Structure, Governance and Management

BMCC has now become a CIO. This is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. It's a new form of Charity and the main difference is that a CIO has a separate legal personality so it can enter into contracts and own property in its own right. The CIO operates under a constitution but that constitution is smaller than the constitution under which BMCC operates. The advantage of this is that it means we can adopt rules and policies easier than under the current constitution. Over the past few years, a number of changes have been introduced which mean we need to review policies and implement new policies – safeguarding policies & GDPR to name but a few. By operating under a CIO the group has the flexibility to change and implement policies for the benefit of the club. It also means that the group can operate more under a "company structure" which is essential in today's world. As the CIO has a different status to the registered charity, we have had to set up a new account. The introduction of the CIO also fits in with the changes to the financial year under which BMCC operates which has now been in operation for a year. The financial year for the CIO is set as 1 November to 31st October and this will happen immediately.

We have been implanting this change over during the last financial year and as a result you will see a ‘transfer in’ from the ‘old’ BMCC, i.e. the Lloyds account.

Objects of the Charity

The objective of the charity is to educate the public in the arts and sciences and in particular to the art and science of music and drama by the presentation of dramatic musical productions.

Organisation of the Charity

A committee is elected at an Annual General Meeting of the Members, that is convened annually as soon as possible after the end of the financial year to which members shall be summoned by notice giving not less than fourteen days. The committee shall comprise a Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer and four other Members.

All arrangements for the productions and other events and the control of the finances are in the hands of the committee.

Reserves policy and risk management

The trustees have examined the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. These procedures will be periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity.

Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements

Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the

year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which 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. 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.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees

YEAR ENDED 31 October 2022

I report on the accounts of the Charity for the Year ended 31st October 2022 which are set out on pages 5 - 7.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:

have not been met; or

2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
