## **Annual Report and Accounts for the International Society for Diatom Research** 

Status as a CIO was granted in May 2022. Since the status was granted, the ISDR are in the process of applying for a new bank account as the new CIO. The ISDR were unable to transfer the existing bank account with Natwest to the new charity and were required to apply for a new account. An application to Natwest bank was rejected in August. A subsequent application to the Co-op was made in September 2022 and is under consideration. 

As such, no formal activity has taken place as the registered CIO and activity continues under the previous Charity (1054897) for which a return has been submitted. 

Without a bank account, there are currently no financial statements to be submitted. 

The ISDR’s AGM will take place in late 2022, and the new Charity is expected to be operational as of 01 January 2023, after which the existing Charity will be closed. 

On behalf of the ISDR, 


Keely Jones (Mills) 

_Honorary Treasurer_
