## **Objects and activities of the charity.** 

## **The purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document.** 

GAIN is a community of investors set to change the staggering lack of gender diversity in investment management, from the ground up. GAIN educates young women about and inspires them to pursue careers in investing with a suite of online resources and a strong network of female role models, who speak in high schools and universities around the UK and feature on our online channels, delivering compelling and high-impact messages on the many benefits of investing as a career. 

The objects of the CIO are: 

(1) To advance the education of the public in the fundamental skills necessary for careers in professional investing and investment related fields: financial analysis, investment strategy, basic finance concepts and economics, critical thinking and analysis, presentation skills and leadership concepts; 

(2) The promotion of equality and diversity for the public benefit by providing educational and work experience initiatives targeting girls and women attending schools, colleges and universities designed to address the underrepresentation of women in senior decision-making roles within the investment industry. 

## **The main activities undertaken in relation to those purposes during the year.** 

GAIN is building a substantial volunteer network, which comprised c.1800 subscribers to our volunteer newsletter at the end of the 2023 calendar year, representing 500+ investment companies. The volunteers leverage GAIN's content to deliver educational talks in schools and universities around the UK. 

## **The main activities undertaken during the year to further the charity's purpose for the public benefit.** 

GAIN provides a comprehensive range of events, online content and programmes to educate students, including: 

• multiple online & in-person events at schools and universities in the UK and our first GAIN Student Awards Event; 

• introduction of work experience insight days provided by sponsor firms to students at schools and universities; 

• new podcast introduced in 2023 to educate students on investment topics. 

We also provide mentoring opportunities on our programmes and help students realise their career ambitions. We offer the following programmes: 

- the annual GAIN Empower Investment Internship Programme, the GAIN Investment Insight Programme (GIIP), and the GAIN Schools Investment Challenge. 

## **The short term and longer term aims and objectives.** 

GAIN's mission is to inspire and empower the next generation of women and non-binary investment professionals by providing a platform for learning, career development and networking. 

Our vision is to reach 25,000 women and non-binary students each year by 2030 and aspire to increase their rate of application to investment firms to 30% in the longer term.

Any appointment must be made at a meeting held according to the ordinary practice of the appointing body.

- 1) essential information about the organisation, its mission and governance structure;

## **Financial review of the position at the reporting date, 31 December 2023.** 

GAIN raised £739,510 in funding from corporate sponsors in the investment management industry, personal donations, grants & the internship programme during the calendar year 2023, which was more than adequate to fund the charity’s operations during the period. At the end of the year we had cash reserves of £673,188. 

The trustees consider the financial performance by the charity during the year to have been satisfactory. 

## **Policies on reserves.** 

The Trustees of the charity have considered an appropriate policy on reserves and have decided to retain a minimum of twelve months of average operating costs as reserves. This has been set at £450,000 as at 31 December 2023. 

The charity intends to hold these reserves for unexpected drops in income and will spend them on 

its charitable activities. Reserves are also held for opportunities to expand the charity’s activities that the Trustees regularly consider. 

The Trustees will review the reserves policy on an annual basis to take account of the changing circumstances of the charity. 

## **Availability and adequacy of assets of each of the funds.** 

The board of trustees is satisfied that the charity's assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in respect of each fund. 

## **Significant events which have affected the financial performance and the financial position.** 

GAIN has been selected as a UK charity partner by the Foundation of a Global Investment Firm, receiving £78,532 in 2023. 

Sponsorship has also, across the board, been strong. 

In addition, our internship programme has grown and with this, our revenue for intern programme fees which we charge to cover our administration costs and training we organise for interns on our programme.

## **GAIN - Girls are Investors** 

## **Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2023** 

## **The major risks to which the Charity is exposed and reviews and systems to mitigate them.** 

GAIN has identified the following 5 key risks for the charity and put mitigants in place for the risk or has an action item to mitigate the risk: 

1) Compliance: risk of failure to comply with legislation and reporting appropriate to the size of our organisation resulting in reputational and financial damage. Mitigant in place: Key legal and regulatory requirements identified with key compliance procedures involving compliance monitoring and reporting and preparation for compliance visits. All legal matters checked with legal counsel & Accountant to ensure legal and regulatory requirements met. Action Item: Recruit a trustee with appropriate experience to the Board of Trustees. 

2) Cyber & Information Security: Risk that the technology systems and support are inadequate or fail to adapt to changing requirements; systems are vulnerable to cyber-attacks or cannot continue in a disaster with failing network/cloud access. Mitigant in place: Team Cyber Security lead appointed. All employee laptops have Avast VPN installed 24/7 to avoid hacking and tracking by malicious third parties. Customer data stored on Salesforce with its own data security in place. Employee data stored on Breathe with its own data security in place. Action Item: Ongoing cyber security training undertaken by Cyber Security lead. Cyber security health check on GAIN systems to be completed. 

3) Volunteer Engagement Decline: Significant reduction in Volunteering from Volunteer network. Mitigant in place: Frequent follow ups with volunteers have been implemented after every volunteer event to collect, review, and respond to feedback. Annual volunteers meeting in place to keep volunteers updated and invite feedback. Volunteer contributions regularly celebrated in organisation's social media. 

4) Reputational Risk: Reputational failures could cause catastrophic risk to GAIN, both in terms of our implied "license to operate" within schools and universities and our ability to generate financial/other support from donors and supporters. Mitigant in place: CEO with oversight from Trustee Board maintain an open, transparent, and compliant culture including compliance with all relevant legal processes, 1x year publishing of impact report on organisational activities and achievements, regular sponsor updates. Implementation in Q1 2004 of a 5-point partnerships criteria framework to assess suitability of collaboration with non-investment firms. 

5) Sponsorship decline: Failure to be financially sustainable as a charity/termination of funding. Mitigant in place: CEO maintains regular schedule of meetings with potential sponsors and current sponsors including at renewal date. CEO with support from Trustee board keeps organisation relevant/up to date within the industry. 

## **Factors likely to affect future financial performance.** 

We continue to grow our sponsorship base, therefore our income is likely to grow. Our internship programme is also growing year on year which will generate an increase in income. 

## **Principal funding sources in the year and how these support the key objectives of the charity.** 

The principal sources of funding for GAIN are sponsorship/donations, grants and the Internship Programme. This funding enables GAIN to pay the team salaries who organise and deliver the various initiatives (events, programmes, school investment challenge, talks) that support the key objectives of GAIN.

## **GAIN - Girls are Investors** 

## **Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2023** 

## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities** 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Notwithstanding the explicit requirement in the extant statutory regulations, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the SORP 2005, in view of the fact that the SORP 2005 has been withdrawn, the Trustees determined to interpret this responsibility as requiring them to follow current best practice and prepare the accounts according to the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP). 

In particular, charity law requires the Trustees, if they prepare accounts on an accruals basis, to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Trustees are required to: 

- to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law); 

- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements. 

The law requires that the trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for the year. 

The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with regulations made under 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. 

The Trustees are also responsible for the contents of the Trustees' report, and the statutory responsibility of the Independent Examiner in relation to the Trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that, on the face of the report, there are no material inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements. 

This report was approved by the board of trustees on

## **GAIN - Girls are Investors** 

## **Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of the charity on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023** 

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charity on pages 13 to 31 for the year ended 31 December 2023 which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) as modified by FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , and under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out on page 21. 

## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Independent Examiner and the basis of the report** 

As described on page 10, you, the charity's Trustees, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and all other applicable law and with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, applicable to smaller entities, and for being satisfied that the financial statements give a true and fair view. 

The Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Section 144(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the Governing Document for the conducting of an audit. As a consequence, the Trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination. 

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements are not required to be audited under any legal provision, or otherwise, and are eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

a) examine the financial statements of the charity under Section 145 of the Act; 

b) follow the applicable procedures in the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement and scope of work undertaken** 

Since the charity's gross income exceeded £250,000, the charity's examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am an authorised member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under s145 of the Act. 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 setting out the duties of an independent examiner in relation to the conducting of an independent examination. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and of the accounting systems employed by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you, as Trustees, concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of charity legislation and that, on a test basis of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures made, the financial statements comply with the SORP. 

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and information supplied by the Trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries and does not cover all the matters that an auditor would consider in arriving at an opinion. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide. 

11 



## **GAIN - Girls are Investors** 

Consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below. 

I planned and performed my examination so as to satisfy myself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report I obtained written assurances from the Trustees of all material matters. 

## **Independent Examiner's Statement, Report and Opinion** 

Subject to the limitations upon the scope of my work as detailed above, I have completed my examination: and can confirm that: 

The gross income of the charity in the year ended 31 December 2023 appears to exceed the sum specified in Section 145(3) of the Act, namely £250,000, and that I am qualified to act as Independent Examiner in accordance with that section by virtue of my being a qualified member of Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. 

The accounts are being examined in the circumstances specified in Regulation 34(3)(b, and the date when the Charity Commission dispensed with the requirements for audit under Section 144(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) of the Act was 31 December 2023. 

This is a report in respect of an examination carried out under section 145 of the Act and in accordance with Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act which may be applicable; 

In the course of my examination no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by with Section 130 of The Charities Act 2011; the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- the financial statements 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; 

- have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles set out in the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP). 

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 financial statements to be reached.

## **GAIN - Girls are Investors** 

## **Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Policies relating to the production of the accounts.** 

## **Basis of preparation and accounting convention.** 

The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) and 'FRS 102 SORP’ (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW), and in accordance with all applicable law in the charity's jurisdiction of registration, except that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), in preference to the previous SORP, the SORP 2005, which has been withdrawn, notwithstanding the fact that the extant statutory regulations, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 refer explicitly to the SORP 2005. This has been done to accord with current best practice. 

## **Going Concern.** 

The charitable activities are entirely dependent on continuing grant aid and voluntary donations as well as trading revenues. As a consequence, the going concern basis is dependent on the future flow of these uncertain funding streams. Accordingly, the Trustees have obtained forecasts and, after reviewing the financial forecasts for future periods to 31 December 2024, the Trustees are satisfied that, at the time of approving the financial statements, it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Other than these matters, the Trustees are not aware of any material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. 

## **Risks and future assumptions.** 

The charity is a public benefit entity. 

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. The trustees examine the major strategy, business and operational risk, which their charity faces regularly and believe that they are maintaining sufficient reserves, combined with an annual review of the controls over financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. 

## **Policies relating to categories of income and income recognition.** 

## **Income recognition.** 

Income, whether from exchange or non-exchange transactions, is recognised in the statement of financial activities (SOFA) on a receivable basis, when a transaction or other event results in an increase in the charity’s assets or a reduction in its liabilities and only when the charity has legal entitlement, the income is probable and can be measured reliably. 

Dividends are accrued when the shareholder’s right to receive payment is established. 

Income subject to terms and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled to the resources is not recognised until the conditions have been met. 

All income is accounted for gross, before deducting any related fees or costs. 

21 



## **GAIN - Girls are Investors** 

## **Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023** 

## **Accounting for deferred income and income received in advance.** 

Where terms and conditions relating to income have not been met or uncertainty exists as to whether the charity can meet any terms or conditions otherwise within its control, income is not recognised but is deferred as a liability until it is probable that the terms or conditions imposed can be met. 

Any grant that is subject to performance-related conditions received in advance of delivering the goods and services required by that condition or is subject to unmet conditions wholly outside the control of the recipient charity, is accounted for as a liability and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income. Deferred income is released to income in the reporting period in which the performance-related or other conditions that limit recognition are met. 

When income from a grant or donation has not been recognised due to the conditions applying to the gift not being wholly within the control of the recipient charity, it is disclosed as a contingent asset if receipt of the grant or donation is probable once those conditions are met. 

Where time related conditions are imposed or implied by a funder, then the income is apportioned to the time periods concerned, and, where applicable, is accounted for as a liability and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income. When grants are received in advance of the expenditure on the activity funded by them, but there are no specific time related conditions, then the income is not deferred. 

Any condition that allows for the recovery by the donor of any unexpended part of a grant does not prevent recognition of the income concerned, but a liability to any repayment is recognised when repayment becomes probable. 

## **Policies relating to expenditure on goods and services provided to the charity.** 

## **Recognition of liabilities and expenditure** 

A liability, and the related expenditure, is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, and when it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and when the amount of the obligation can be measured or reliably estimated. 

Liabilities arising from future funding commitments and constructive obligations, including performance related grants, where the timing or the amount of the future expenditure required to settle the obligation are uncertain, give rise to a provision in the accounts, which is reviewed at the accounting year end. The provision is increased to reflect any increases in liabilities and is decreased by the utilisation of any provision within the period, and reversed if any provision is no longer required. These movements are charged or credited to the respective funds and activities to which the provision relates. 

## **Allocating costs to activities.** 

Direct costs that are specifically related to an activity are allocated to that activity. Shared direct costs and support costs are apportioned between activities. 

The basis for apportionment, which is consistently applied, and proportionate to the circumstances, is: 

**Staffing** - on the basis of time spent in connection with any particular activity. **Staffing** - on a per capita basis, based on the number of people employed within any particular activity. **Premises related costs** - on the proportion of floor area occupied by a particular activity. 

**Nonspecific support costs** - on the basis of the usage of resources, in terms of time taken, capacity used, request made or other measures. 

**Estimation techniques** used in apportioning costs – based on turnover by activity. 

## **Volunteers** 

In accordance with the SORP, and in recognition of the difficulties in placing a monetary value on the contribution from volunteers, the contribution of volunteers is not included within the income of the charity. However, the trustees value the significant contribution made to the activities of the charity by unpaid volunteers and this is described more fully in Note 6.

## **2 Liability to taxation.** 

The Trustees consider that the charity satisfies the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by chapter 3 part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively on the specific charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose. The charity is registered for VAT and is partially exempt. 

## **3 Winding up or dissolution of the charity.** 

If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity. 

## **4 Significance of financial instruments to the charity's position.** 

There are no significant implications of financial instruments to the charity's position.
