Trustees' Report (continued)

Fundraising disclosures

The charity is required to report how it deals with fundraising from the public. The charity does not use a professional fundraiser or commercial participator to raise funds. Any monies raised direct from the public follows all guidelines set out by the Charity Commission and UK law in every respect. We respect the privacy and contact preferences of all public donors.

Public benefit

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Achievements and performance

There are several significant achievements in the last year.

• The BSNR annual scientific meeting took place in Liverpool on 6-7 October 2022 preceded by the annual Trainee Day. Both were very successful meetings with rich educational content, well-known national and international speakers from multiple disciplines and excellent feedback from delegates and sponsors. Post-COVID, conference costs remained high but the benefits of exchanging views, sharing ideas and networking in person were felt to outweigh those of online meetings.

• The society successfully appointed a new Equality, Diversity and Inclusion officer and a new Global representative to the executive committee.

• Members were surveyed to ensure the society remains representative of the views of its members and continued to fulfil its objectives.

• Collaborations with international societies were fostered through mutual presentations at Society Annual Meetings such as that of the American Society of Neuroradiology (ASNR). In addition, a very popular ‘Grand Rounds’ programme, where experts from around the world were invited to present their cases and work fostered national and international collaborations and exchanges.

• Very successful education days, such as the Emergency Neuroradiology study day were repeated and a programme of webinars too place whilst planning for future educational programmes continued.

• The tradition of the BSNR ‘Christmas Lecture’ was continued with an excellent lecture by Prof Tim Griffiths on “The Mind’s Ear: Speech, Music and the Brain.”

Trustees' Report (continued)

Financial review

Key Management Personnel

The Trustees have appointed an administrator on a freelance basis to aid with an increasing administrative workload for educational and secretarial activities, with a pay level set according to standard NHS pay banding based on the qualifications and experience of the administrator (equivalent to band 7 ‘Agenda for Change’ pay rate).

The board, who give their time freely and no trustees received remuneration in the year, have considered who the Key Management Personnel (KMP) of the charity, as noted in the Reference and Administration section. Together with the board, these KMP are those in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the activities of the charity on a day to day basis. The pay of the KMP is reviewed annually and normally increased in accordance with average earnings. The trustees benchmark against pay levels of other charities and similar organisations within the sector and the region. Pay levels are set using this information together with the budget and forecast information, ensuring that the charity can afford any proposed increases. The board then agree any uplift to remuneration.

Policy on reserves

The calculation of free reserves is based on the definition included in the charity statement of recommended practice (SORP), which provides recommendations for accounting and reporting for charities. The trustees have examined the requirements of the charity to hold free reserves - those reserves not invested in tangible fixed assets, excluding long term liabilities, or designated for a particular purpose. The Trustees considered it would be appropriate to hold the equivalent of costs associated with two failed events, which would equate to holding approximately £90,000 to £130,000 in free reserves.

At the year end, free reserves were £118,194 (2022: £128,130), a decrease of £9,936 in the year. Free reserves are currently positioned within the level that the trustees would ideally prefer to hold.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of British Society of Neuroradiologists

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of British Society of Neuroradiologists for the year ended 31 July 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of British Society of Neuroradiologists you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the British Society of Neuroradiologists's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material 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 British Society of Neuroradiologists as required by section 130 of the Act; or

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

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting 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 a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

British Society of Neuroradiologists Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 July 2023

1 General Information

The charity is a charitable incorporated organisation, a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 63 Lincoln's Inn Fields, London, WC2A 3JW.

2 Accounting policies

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The membership association obtained registration as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation during the year. The members had elected to follow the Charities SORP prior to their formal registration and prepare the accounts as if they have always been a registered charity.

Basis of preparation

British Society of Neuroradiologists meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.

The functional currency is sterling.

Going concern

The trustees have considered the financial position and on conclusion of this work, consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

Estimation uncertainty and judgements

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported.

Management have provided depreciation, prepayments, accruals and other cut-off adjustments. Whilst management believe that these estimates and judgements are accurate, there is every likelihood that they will not be exact.

These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

British Society of Neuroradiologists

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 July 2023 (continued)

Income and endowments

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Donations and legacies

Income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.

Legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. Where a legacy is notified to the charity prior to the year end, it is recognised as income if it is received before the accounts are approved.

Grants receivable

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.

Income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

Donated services and facilities

Where services or facilities are provided to the charity as a donation that would normally be purchased from our suppliers, this benefit is included in the financial statements at it's fair value unless it's fair value cannot be realiably measured, then at the cost to the donor or the resale value of goods that are to be sold.

Membership income

Membership income is due annually from the members of BSNR and is recognised in full in the period is it received.

Sponsorship

Sponsorship income is received in association with hosting the annual symposium. The income is recognised when the entity has been informed of entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the income have been met.

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

British Society of Neuroradiologists

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 July 2023 (continued)

Support costs

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

Governance costs

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.

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.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated in the Balance Sheet at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. They are amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Amortisation

Amortisation is provided on intangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Asset class Amortisation method and rate Website 3 years straight line

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

British Society of Neuroradiologists

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 July 2023 (continued)

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
