TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the CIO for the year 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022. The Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the CIO comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the CIO's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (second edition of the Charities SORP (FRS102) October 2019, effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
a. Policies and objectives
IPWSO works to improve the quality of life for all people with Prader Willi syndrome (PWS) and their families worldwide. We provide information and support to caregivers, health professionals and families. We encourage national PWS associations to exchange and share their projects and experiences. We fund free testing for diagnosis in countries where it is not available.
The objectives of the CIO are, for the public benefit:
1) to promote the relief and treatment of people with Prader Willi syndrome, and to provide support and advice for such persons, their families and carers;
2) the advancement of health by promoting, supporting and carrying out charitable research, and to disseminate the results of such research, for the public benefit into the cause and treatment of Prader Willi syndrome; and
3) to raise awareness about the needs of people with Prader Willi syndrome through the provision of information.
The Vision of the CIO is:
A world where people with PWS and their families receive the services and support they need to fulfil their potential and achieve their goals.
The Mission of the CIO is:
To unite the global PWS community to collectively find solutions to the challenges of the syndrome and to support and advocate for people with PWS and their families, PWS associations, and professionals who work with people with PWS.
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
b. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives
During the year IPWSO held the 11th International Prader-Willi Syndrome Conference in Ireland and facilitated attendance of professionals and parents from across the globe. IPWSO also supported in-person and online workshops and meetings in Hungary, Mexico and Pakistan. IPWSO established a Mental Health Network and members met online and in-person, and with the support of many care providers in different countries IPWSO undertook a study of services that support adults with PWS. IPWSO collates relevant scientific journal reports and shares this information globally. Written advice (available in multiple languages) is made available to families of people with PWS. IPWSO sought to raise awareness and increase knowledge of PWS by producing short films about the syndrome and made these accessible and freely available via its online resource library. IPWSO continued to educate countries internationally about the availability of free diagnostic testing.

More information on all of IPWSO's work is available in these financial statements and in the IPWSO Annual Report.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the CIO has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
b. Reserves policy
As part of its ongoing financial monitoring, IPWSO has established an Investment Committee which in collaboration with IPWSO’s Finance Committee, has recommended to the Trustees an appropriate level of financial reserves for 2023. IPWSO’s reserves policy is to retain sufficient unrestricted reserves to meet its obligations and to ensure financial stability and the Trustees intend to invest $150,000 in general reserves and $60,000 in conference-specific reserves. At the year-end, reserves (representing unrestricted funds excluding any designated funds and funds tied up in fixed assets) amounted to $368,878. The Trustees will look for opportunities to utilise excess reserves during 2023.
c. Results for the year
Income received during the year totalled $399,476 (2021: $339,506), of which $347,862 was restricted and $51,614 was unrestricted. Restricted income came in the form of grants and donations from bodies within the healthcare industry, corporations and individuals. Expenditure totalled $324,176 (2021: $222,811), of which $210,301 was spent from restricted funds.
IPWSO received a Google Ads grant during the year and has benefited to the value of $92,900 for the year ending December 2022 in free online advertising. The CIO would not otherwise have paid for this advertising and so there is no requirement to include this in kind donation within the financial statements.
There was a net deficit on restricted funds of $48,759 which has decreased brought forward funds to a total of

$38,336 (2021: $87,095) to be carried forward. A surplus of $124,059 on unrestricted funds, when added to opening funds, will allow a total to be carried forward of $368,878 (2021: $244,819).
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
a. Constitution and governance
International Prader-Willi Syndrome Organisation is a registered charity, number 1182873, and is constituted as a charitable incorporated organisation under a Governing document dated 9 April 2019.
b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
The management of the CIO is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and coopted under the terms of the Governing document.
c. Organisational structure and decision making policies
The charity's organisational structure was altered in 2022 and consists of a Board of Trustees and also Project Management Committees, each with its own terms of reference. The Board of Trustees decided to alter the regularity and format of meetings, now alternating monthly between Board Meetings and Consultation Meetings, the latter of which are open to volunteers and officers and the objective of which is to review the charity’s operations and strategy and to increase member engagement and understanding of issues affecting the Charity. At other times all Trustees are kept informed of issues via email and they contribute to making key decisions. The extent to which Trustees’ responsibilities for decisions affecting the development and operation of the charity are devolved day to day to the CEO, is set out in the CEO’s contract of employment and terms of reference.
d. Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees
Potential and new Trustees are advised of the Charity's objectives, its activities and the public benefit requirement at the Trustees’ Induction, and support is available to them from fellow Trustees. Other information regarding their duties as Trustees is available from the Charity Commission.
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
In addition to IPWSO’s core activities, as outlined in its “Main Achievements”, IPWSO’s plans for 2023 and onwards include preparation for The 12th International Prader-Willi Syndrome Organisation Conference which will take place in 2025. IPWSO will also host awareness raising booths at education conferences throughout the world, both in-person and online, and there will be greater focus on providing support to families and professionals in Africa. IPWSO will co-ordinate a Mental Health ECHO® and will begin to develop a framework to facilitate meaningful engagement by people with PWS in the organisation. IPWSO will produce a film on the syndrome and make this as accessible as possible, subject to resources. IPWSO hopes to benefit from interest accrued on a future investment of $210,000.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF INTERNATIONAL PRADER-WILLI SYNDROME ORGANISATION ('the CIO')
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 December 2022.
RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT
As the Trustees of the CIO 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 CIO's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
Since the CIO's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of (enter body here), which is one of the listed bodies.
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the CIO has prepared the accounts in accordance with 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) 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.
I understand that 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 2015.
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the CIO as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
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.
This report is made solely to the CIO's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the CIO's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the CIO and the CIO's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

INTERNATIONAL PRADER-WILLI SYNDROME ORGANISATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
International Prader-Willi Syndrome Organisation 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.
Prior year currency restatement
In the prior year the presentational currency was GBP Pounds Sterling as the Charity is administratively UK based. The Trustees consider that the Society operates predominantly in US dollars and therefore have decided to present their accounts in that currency. As a result, the prior year comparative figures have been restated into US dollars.
1.2 GOING CONCERN
The trustees have reviewed the financial position of the charity, including the impact of Covid-19 and have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the financial statements continue to be prepared on the going concern basis.
1.3 FUND ACCOUNTING
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the CIO and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the CIO for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

INTERNATIONAL PRADER-WILLI SYNDROME ORGANISATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
1.4 INCOME
All income is recognised once the CIO has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
On receipt, donated professional services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the CIO which is the amount it would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. Donations are recognised in the period in which they are received.
Membership fee income, billed on a calendar year basis, is recognised in the period to which it relates.
Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.
1.5 EXPENDITURE
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the CIO's objectives, as well as any associated support costs. Support costs including governance costs are those costs incurred in support of expenditure on the objects of the Charity. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the Charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
1.6 FOREIGN CURRENCIES
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into dollars at rates of exchange ruling at the reporting date.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into dollars at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction.
Exchange gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
1.7 INVESTMENTS
Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance Sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of Financial Activities.

1.8 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.
1.9 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.
1.10 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 CIO 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.
1.11 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The CIO 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1.12 PENSIONS
The CIO operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the CIO to the fund in respect of the year.

10. PRIOR YEAR ADJUSTMENTS
In the prior year the presentational currency was GBP Pounds Sterling as the Society is administratively UK based. The Trustees consider that the Society operates predominantly in US dollars and therefore have decided to present their accounts in that currency. As a result, the prior year comparative figures have been restated into US dollars. The restatement of the comparative figures is shown below.

It is envisaged that this Fund will support a wide range of IPWSO projects and strengthen IPWSO's capacity and long-term sustainability. IPWSO is very grateful to Jean Phillips-Martinsson, its founder and Honorary President, for her generosity in creating this fund in memory of her son, Anders, and husband, Sven
