BIRMINGHAM ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL BUSINESS
TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
The trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements and report of the charitable organisation for the year ended 31 March 2023. Birmingham Association of School Business Management (BASBM) exists to support and promote school business management practitioners in approximately 400 Birmingham schools in which they work. School business management practitioners duties include matters essential for schools to thrive such as Finance, Estates, HR, Compliance, Goverence, etc. and the competent exercise of these duties has become critical to education in schools with the growth of academies and funding constraints.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The trustees of BASBM are also the trustees of the charity for the purposes of charity law. The CIO is known as BASBM and is a corporate body with limited liabilities.

-
Growing the membership, reaching out to staff in MATs particularly, and restoring strength in numbers to the BASBM sponsors.

Key Financial Performance Indicators
The charity established a financial budget at the start of the year and then monitored performance against budget during the period. Considerable work is undertaken to ensure the continued financial viability of the organisation. Trustee's play a key role in holding themselves and each other to account in key financial matters. This is demonstrated by the following:
| 2023 | 2022 | |
|---|---|---|
| Current active members | 306 | 344 |
| Exhibition / Sponsorship income generated | £ 38,190 | £57,622 |
| Reserves funding in place | £159,945 | £153,644 |
Going Concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Board of Trustees has a reasonable expectation that the Charitable Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason it continues 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 Statement of Accounting policies.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Overview
The principal source of income for the charity is subscriptions, exhibitions and website advertising.
During the year ended 31 March 2023 (31 March 2022), total income of £54,827 (2022: £73,260) was more than the expenditure £48,526 (2022: £75,426). There was a surplus for the year of £6,301 (Deficit in 2022: £2,166).
Financial and Risk Management Objectives and Policies
The Charity's financial and risk management objectives are documented in its:
- Official budgets Scheme of delegation Financial regulations Risk management policy
These documents are available on request, and particular items which warrant specific disclosure are noted within this annual report.
Reserves Policy
The trustees review the level of reserves annually. This review encompasses the nature of income and expenditure streams, the need to match income with commitments and the level of reserves taking into account the risks involved. Post Covid, and during organisational changes, when it was wise to sustain reserves at a high level, the trustees have determined that the appropriate level of reserves for purposes of going concern should be £100,000 at present. Surplus reserves built up by the Charity beyond this level are to be earmarked to support business management practitioners over the medium term, potentially by increasing BASBM activities and individual membership CPD.
Reserves as at 31 March 2023 were £159,945 (2022: £153,644).
Investment Policy
All investments are made in accordance with the policy of the charity. The charity's policy on investments are one of minimum risk with all investments being held with the charity's bankers. The charity will nevertheless seek to maximise interest receipts within this arrangement. Investments are made with regard to Charity Commission guidance in relation to investments.

BIRMINGHAM ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL BUSINESS
TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 (cont'd)
PRINCIPLE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Trustees consider that these arrangements have been effective during the period being reported although 7 months' vacancy for a Group Operations Manager and changes in senior leadership created temporary strain.
The trustees have strengthened the organisation since November 2022 by building back membership and sponsor relationships, co-optingnmore trustees and ensuring that internal control is robust and responsive.
At the time of reporting, the trust's identified key risks are:
-
Loss of personnel and sensitive information;
-
The risk of national and local funding reductions;
-
Increasing academisation, in line with Government policy and particularly further to BCC's recent failure to implement a new finance system, that is expected to increase centralisation of support services and reduce potential for front-line membership;
-
Changes to rules and regulations.
Mitigating action, both current and planned, has been identified to address these risks. This is also true of all other risks that have been formally identified which have a lower level of impact and/or likelihood.
Risk Management
Trustees have reviewed the risks to which the Charity Trust is exposed and systems and procedures have been put in place to manage these.
Fundraising
Under the provisions of the Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016 , the charity will run fundraising events to raise money for other charities or for the charity itself. The charity does not work with any professional fundraisers. Where money is raised, this is collected and receipted appropriately. The charity has a complaints procedure to ensure any concerns can be reported.
Plans for Future Periods
The charity will continue to closely monitor local and national funding developments and the impact that this may have on the charity's financial position. The charity will also remain cognisant of local changes within Birmingham that could affect the charity and explore opportunities for growth.
Auditors
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant information of which the charitable incorporated organisation's independent examiner is unaware;
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the independent examiner is aware of that information.
The independent examiner, UHY Hacker Young (Birmingham) LLP, are willing to continue in office and a resolution to appoint them will be proposed at the annual general meeting.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
1 Statement of Accounting Policies
A summary of principal accounting policies adopted (which have been applied consistently, except where noted), judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty, is set out below.
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared under the historical cost convention in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), and the Charities Act 2011.
Birmingham Association of School Business Management BASBM) meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
Going Concern
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 company 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 ability to continue as a going concern, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Income
All incoming resources are recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, the receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably.
Subscription income
Subscription income provided to the charity is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities in the period in which it is receivable, where receipt is probable and it can be measured reliably.
Donations
Donations are recognised on a receivable basis where there is certainty of receipt and the amount can be reliably measured.
Other income
Other income, including the hire of facilities, is recognised in the period it is receivable and to the extent the charity has provided the goods or services.
Donated goods, facilities and services
Goods donated for resale are included at fair value, being the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale. If it is practical to assess the fair value at receipt, it is recognised in stock and from other trading Upon sale, the value of the stock is charged against from other trading and the proceeds are recognised as from other trading Where it is impractical to fair value the items due to the volume of low value items they are not recognised in the financial statements until they are sold. This income is recognised within from other trading measure this reliably, in which case the cost of the item to the donor should be used. The gain is recognised as income from donations and a corresponding amount is included in the appropriate fixed asset category and depreciated over the useful economic life in accordance with the accounting policies.

BIRMINGHAM ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL BUSINESS MANAGEMENT
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 (cont'd)
1 Statement of Accounting Policies (Cont'd) 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. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the use.
Expenditure on Raising Funds
This includes all expenditure incurred by the charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.
Charitable Activities
These are costs incurred on the educational operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
All resources expended are inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
Tangible Fixed Assets
Assets costing £500 or more are capitalised as tangible fixed assets and are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment.
Depreciation is provided on a straight line basis on the cost of tangible fixed assets, to write them down to their estimated residual values over their expected useful lives. No depreciation is provided on leasehold land where the lease is more than 20 years. The principal annual rates used for other assets are:
Furniture and equipment 10% Computer equipment and software 25%
A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Leased assets
Rentals under operating leases are charged on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Financial Instruments
The charity only holds basic financial instruments as defined in FRS 102. The financial assets and financial liabilities of the charity and their measurement basis are as follows:
Financial assets - trade and other debtors are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured at amortised cost as detailed in note 9. Prepayments are not financial instruments.
Cash at bank - is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value.
Financial liabilities - trade creditors, accruals and other creditors are basic financial instruments, and are measured at amortised cost as detailed in note 10.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company 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 to charitable purposes.
VAT
Value added tax is charable on all subscription, advertising and meeting income. Value added tax, where applicable, is recoverable on all charitable related expenditure.

1 Statement of Accounting Policies (Cont'd)
Fund Accounting
Unrestricted income funds represent those resources which may be used towards meeting any of the charitable objects of the charity at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted general funds comprise all other restricted funds received with restrictions imposed by the funder/donor.
Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are subscriptions, exhibition income and website advertising.
Critical areas of judgement
There are no critical judgements that the Trustees have made in the process of applying the charity's accounting policies on the amounts recognised in the statutory financial statements.
