## **The English Guernsey Cattle Society** 

## **(a company limited by guarantee)** 

## **Report of the Council for the Year Ended 31st December 2022** 

## **Constitution** 

The English Guernsey Cattle Society was incorporated in 1927 as a company limited by guarantee under the Companies Acts 1908 to 1917.  The rules of the Society are set out in the Memorandum and Articles of Association. 

## **The Council**

## **Report of the Council (incorporating the directors report) for the Year Ended 31st December 2022** 

## **Training** 

New members of Council are normally active Dairy Farmers, running their own businesses.  They have also often exhibited cattle at shows and taken part in branch activities so no specific training is either needed or given other than to explain to them their responsibilities as trustees of a Charity. 

## **Structure, Guarantee and Management** 

The Society office has been relocated to Hereford on the retirement of Mrs Cox. Louise Hart has become solely responsible for the day to day administrative function of the Society. 

Executive decisions are taken in the first instance by the Council and within parameters set by Council on a day to day basis by the Chairman of the Society and the Management Committee. 

## **Objects and Policies** 

The main object of the Society is to maintain the purity and improve the breed of Guernsey Cattle in the United Kingdom. In order to further these objects the following policies have been adopted by Council: 

We register all pedigree cattle born in the UK individually and enter them in a Herd Book which contains full details of the parentage of every animal together with all other relevant information. 

We seek to improve the breed by careful selection of bull mothers and endeavouring to breed a group of young bulls from which we select the best individuals from whom we obtain AI semen which we sell to our members.  We  import AI semen of selected bulls which we also sell to our members. 

We carry out a full type classification system in conjunction with other Societies in the World Guernsey Federation to seek to improve the conformation of cattle in the breed. 

## **Main Achievements / Financial Review** 

A significant deficit of income over expenditure has been made during the year 2022, after a healthy surplus the previous year. Mainly as a result of the substantial increase in GGBP costs. 

We collected semen from 4 English bulls in 2022, but due to unforeseen circumstances, some of these incurred additional costs which we have had to absorb. As we continue with our aim to supply Guernsey breeders with the best possible competitively priced semen available. 

We continue to export semen all around the World and continue to look for new markets and opportunities for our range of proven and young bulls. While using the data from the ongoing "Genomic project",  combined with existing traditional data, to help provide information to breeders in their bull selection process. 

The value of our investments has fallen over the year, following market conditions, but we managed to achieve a small boost to our dividend income. We continue to take advice from our brokers as to how best to manage our portfolio. 

We have had some staffing changes as our administrator, Louise has decided to reduce her available time to the Society and we welcome Helen Cox as breed secretary. Her main role will be liaising with members and dealing with the day to day tasks. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The Council Members consider that there should be retained reserves of approximately £100,000 which would be sufficient to 

At the 31st December 2022 the Charity's total reserves were £288,239 (2021: £321,707). Unrestricted free reserves available for spending after excluding unrestricted investments as at 31st December 2022 were £81,691 (2021: £101,270). 

## **Objectives and Activities for the Public Benefit** 

The Council Members confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commissions general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trusts aims and objectives and in planning future activities. 

They consider that public benefit is served mainly by the Society's aims in maintaining the purity of the breed and, being a minor dairy breed, its continuing existence within the UK. The Society provides advice and services that anyone with an interest in dairy farming, and the breed in particular, can access. It also provides an education to the wider public by encouraging the presence of Guernsey cattle at agricultural shows and other events. 

## **Risk Management** 

The Finance Committee have reviewed the major risks which the Society faces and established courses of action to mitigate those risks.  Further reviews will be carried out on a regular basis. 

Budgets are presented to Council on a regular basis in advance of the next financial year, at that time Council reviews the major risks that the Society faces in addition to their consideration.

## **Report of the Council (incorporating the Directors Report) for the Year Ended 31st December 2022** 

## **Statement of Council's Responsibilities** 

The charity trustees (who are also the directors of The English Guernsey Cattle Society for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable group for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Members on the Unaudited Accounts of The English Guernsey Cattle Society** 

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31st December 2022, which are set out on pages 6 to 13. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and reporting accountants** 

The council (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's council consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- l examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011; 

- l to follow procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and 

- l to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner's report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission.  An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records.  It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters.  The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in audit and, consequently, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

- l which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material aspect, the requirements (a) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 396 of the Companies Act 2006; and (b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (revised 2005) have not been met; or 

- l to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
