Report of the Trustees for the Period 11 September 2020 to 31 December 2021 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the period 11 September 2020 to 31 December 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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). 

## **INCORPORATION** 

The charitable company was incorporated on 11 September 2020. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims** 

UKISCRS exists to: 

1) Promote education and research in the field of cataract and refractive surgery and to advance and promote the study and practice of ophthalmology and research and the dissemination of the useful results thereof. 

2) Promote experimental work in the field of cataract surgery, intraocular lens implantation and refractive surgery and the dissemination of results thereof. 

3) Promote training in cataract and refractive surgery. 

4) Communicate with its' members and wider ophthalmic community. 

Founded in 1976, UKISCRS is one of the oldest implant societies in the world. UKISCRS has an active membership of over 400 doctors from the UK and Ireland as well as a number of international members. UKISCRS is at the forefront of promoting education and learning in cataract and refractive surgery. UKISCRS is a limited company by guarantee and is a non-profit making organisation. It is administered by the Council, which comprises the Trustees, the Officers and elected representatives from the membership. 

## **Public benefit** 

The trustees are meeting their public benefit requirement by ensuring the general public benefit directly from the work undertaken by the charity, detailed in its objectives. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

During the COVID period in 2020 & 2021 UKISCRS ran their education programme via a campaign of short webinars, dedicated to specific audiences: UKISOP (allied professions), YOP (young ophthalmologists) and UKISCRS (designed for consultants but not restricted to). 

From April 2020 until October 2021 UKISCRS were at the forefront of digital education and this has been a great achievement. The largest registered audience was 375. The programme commenced on 9th April 2020 and continued on 23/04/20, 07/05/20, 21/07/20, 04/06/20, 18/06/20, 02/07/20, 16/07/20, 30/07/20. We took an August break and  returned on 03/09/20, 01/10/20, 14/11/20 (special president plenary symposia), 03/12/20. Then into 2021 we started in February on 04/02/21, 04/03/21, 18/03/21, 01/04/21, 27/04/21, 24/05/21, 01/06/21, 14/06/21, 27/07/21, 16/09/21 & finally before returning to our in-person meeting we ran the last webinar on 05/10/21. 

We then ran our first in-person meeting from 10th November to 12th November in a covid-safe environment attracting a total of 156 delegates. We colour coded all visitor badges to reflect 2m distance, 1 m distance or happy to shake hands. We provided hand gel and gloves for all delegates. We operated a digital programme - and did not have any printed materials to hand out. We have continued with a digital programme to work towards sustainability and carbon footprint. And this is an objective we wish to continue to strive towards. 

In March 2022 we ran our rescheduled (from 2020) Cornea & Cataract Day which attracted a total of 66 registered delegates and 16 industry stands. As this was following the New Year spike in Covid cases, UKISCRS were pleased with the attendance and the meeting was successful.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

The charity was gifted £113,865 from UKISCRS, a former limited company (prior to obtaining charitable status). 

Net income was £111,794 (loss of £2,129, excluding the gift) for the period. It must be noted however that there was a surplus on the C&C meeting which has been carried forward to next year, as the meeting took place in March 2022. 

At the year end bank reserves amounted to £109,782. 

## **Reserves policy** 

It is the policy of UKISCRS to have reserves to cover a failed annual meeting. This amounts to approx. £80,000.00. 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a constitution of a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, dated 11th September 2020. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

There shall be a minimum of three charity trustees and no maximum number who may be appointed. If the number falls below this minimum, the remaining trustee or trustees may act only to call a meeting of the charity trustees or appoint a new charity trustee or charity trustees. 

Charity trustees shall serve for a term of four years and shall be eligible thereafter to be re-elected for one further term of four years, subject to ratification at an AGM.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of UKISCRS 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of UKISCRS ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the period 11 September 2020 to 31 December 2021. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of _ which is one of the listed bodies. 

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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). 

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.
