Achievements and performance
Financial review
The registration of the new charity structure for Thanet Cat Club was entered on the Register of Charities on 14th August 2020. However, because of long delays in being able to open a new bank account and obtaining full access to it, partially caused by COVID restrictions, it has not been possible to begin the transfer the existing charity structure (registration number: 285035) to the new structure before the end of this reporting period.
It is anticipated that the transfer will be carried out during 2022 and the previous charity structure will be then closed during or at the end of the same financial period.
For the initial reporting period, from registration through to 31st December 2021, Thanet Cat Club under the CIO registration number of 1190850 had no financial activity and no assets were transferred to it.

The charity is a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO).

THANET CAT CLUB
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Thanet Cat Club is a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO).
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's constitution, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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 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 following the 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the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.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 £.
2 Trustees
None of the trustees (or any persons connected with them) received any remuneration or benefits from the charity during the year.
