## **WARWICKSHIRE FEDERATION OF WOMEN’S INSTITUTES C.I.O. Trustees Report**
The Trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022. (Please note the figures in the Report given for 2021 reflect a shortened financial year, due to the change in the year end to meet changes to the WI subscription year).
## **Structure, Government and Management**
The Federation is constituted and governed under the Constitution and Rules for County Federations as laid down by the National Federation. The principal activity of the Charity is to further the purpose of the Women’s Institute movement in Warwickshire and elsewhere.
The Warwickshire Federation of Women’s Institutes exists for the benefit of 94 WIs within Warwickshire and is a member of the National Federation of Women’s Institutes. It offers to these WIs a mixture of events fulfilling the Values and Objects within the Constitution to educate women.
## **Method of Recruiting and Appointing Trustees**
The management of the charity is the responsibility of the Board of Trustees who are elected biennially and co-opted under the terms of the Trust Deed. Any member of a WI belonging to the Federation is eligible to stand for election to the Board.
## **Public Benefit**
The trustees are satisfied that the charity’s objects meet the public benefit purposes for the advancement of community development. The trustees confirm that they have taken into account the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
## **Risk Management**
The Board of Trustees recognise their responsibility to address the potential risks which Warwickshire Federation may encounter. An annual review and Risk Assessment is carried out by the Federation Officers and agreed by the Board of Trustees. The major risks, in particular those relating to the operations and finances of the Trust, have been identified and the Trustees are satisfied with the overall level of risk and that systems are in place to manage or pre-empt those risks. The Federation also ensures that a Risk Assessment is undertaken for individual events and regularly reviews possible risks.
## **Achievements and Performance**
The Warwickshire Federation of Women’s Institutes achieved CIO status in September 2019. This was in line with the organisations strategic Plan.
The Board of Trustees have continued to plan and run the finances of the organisation in line with our Charitable Objectives to ensure a sound financial footing both now and for future years. The strategic plan for 2020-21 was to manage the Federation’s financial position during the Covid 19 pandemic and to provide a positive environment of on-line learning and development for our membership whilst actively increasing our presence within the county by recruitment and retention of members and opening of new WI’s.
Page 1
## **WARWICKSHIRE FEDERATION OF WOMEN’S INSTITUTES C.I.O. Trustees Report (continued)**
The Board also planned to increase the skill set of Trustees and to develop the capacity of the Membership and Promotion Sub Group to achieve our aims for this year.
Unfortunately, none of us expected the unusual occurrence from February 2020 with the Pandemic and the consequent ongoing impact on all aspects of society into 2022 and beyond. In the light of this the Board took the unprecedented decision to maintain the Federation as an active and ongoing concern throughout the Pandemic, maintaining positive social interaction with WIs as well as with individual members throughout the year. Our strategic intention was to maintain as many WIs and members as possible.
The Federation has received little or no income during the year but thankfully our predecessors had the forethought and fiscal expertise to ensure that our reserves would see us through this financial crisis which we consider has been managed well under the circumstances. The Board has undertaken a thorough review of expenses at all levels and has undertaken a series of cost cutting measures in consultation with the Officers of our 94WIs.
At the time of writing the end does not appear to be in sight but we know we can and will survive and indeed are currently devising a Strategic Plan for 2022-2025 which will enable us to rebuild and restore our previously thriving educational programmes and to at least maintain our membership numbers.
We believe that the Federation is well placed to build on the support and enthusiasm of our membership once ‘normality’ begins to return and we are proud that the Federation has maintained and developed a range of communications as well as a limited educational programme throughout 2021/22.
## RESULTS FOR THE YEAR
The Trustees consider that the results for the year and the financial position to be acceptable given the restrictions imposed during the pandemic.
## CHARITABLE STATUS
As stated previously the Federation became a Charitably Incorporated Organisation (CIO) in September 2019.
Charity No: 1185351
## CREDITORS
It is the Federation’s policy to pay all creditors in accordance with their terms and conditions.
## Page 2
## **WARWICKSHIRE FEDERATION OF WOMEN’S INSTITUTES C.I.O. Trustees Report (continued)**
## **RESERVES POLICY**
The Trustees review annually the amount of free reserves held by the Federation. These should be adequate to cover working capital and a contingency for unforeseen costs. At the balance sheet date the Charity had reserves of £402,679 (2021 £402,722).
## **INVESTMENT POLICY**
The Charity’s investments are managed by professional fund managers who have delegated authority to purchase and sell investments when recommended by the Office and Finance committee and approved by the Trustees. The charity aims to achieve the best financial return within an acceptable level of risk. The investment objective is to protect assets from inflation and maintain income in real terms. Investments may be held in a diverse range of assets classes.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Warwickshire Federation of Women’s Institutes (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2022.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Christy Commission under section 145(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by 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 now been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with 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.
1. Accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
2. The financial statements do not accord with those records; or
3. 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.
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 to proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
## **1. Accounting policies**
## **Charity information**
Warwickshire Federation of Women’s Institutes is a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) registered in England and Wales. The registered office is Federation House, 1 Corunna Court, Corunna Road, Warwick, CV34 5HQ.
The charity was registered with the Charity Commission on the 19 September 1993 and converted to CIO in September 2019 when the assets and liabilities of Warwickshire Federation of Women’s Institute were transferred to the CIO.
## **1.1 Accounting convention**
- The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity’s (governing document), the Charities Act 2011 and “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 charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements 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 the following Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
The comparatives cover a short period from 1 September 2020 to 31 March 2021 and reflect the change in accounting reference date to align the charity year end with the WI subscription year.

## **WARWICKSHIRE FEDERATION OF WOMEN’S INSTITUTES C.I.O.**
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
## **1.2 Going concern**
The implications of the Covid-19 pandemic remain unclear and it is therefore difficult to evaluate the likely impact on the charity. The trustee’s assessment at the date of approval of the financial statement does not create a material uncertainty in respect of going concern.
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
## **1.3 Charitable funds**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
## **1.4 Income**
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after anu performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised one the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised when received.
## **1.5 Expenditure**
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probably that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost of valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. Any minor purchases of furniture or equipment are written off to the Statement of Financial Activities and no further depreciation will be provided.
## Page 10 **WARWICKSHIRE FEDERATION OF WOMEN’S INSTITUTES C.I.O.**
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold land and buildings Over 50 years Office Equipment Over 4 years
- **1.7 Fixed asset investments**
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Charges in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the charity. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
## **1.8**
## **Impairment of fixed assets**
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of it tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
## **1.9 Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, depots held at call with baks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
## **1.10 Financial instruments**
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity’s balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
