The British Psychoanalybcal Society IINcorporating the Institute of Psychoallalysisl nYii.I P-rnrt ?n22 Introduction from the President Presidents report This is my second Annual report, and I will describe the major events of the year that l. the Executive and the Board have attended to. In my report last year, I wrote that we were determined to continue the good housekeeping of the last few years and ensure that we functioned within our budget. In fact we were unable to quite do this for various reasons.. on an operational basis the Society made 3 £22.6k surplus compared to a budgeted deficit of £11.5k. Given the difficult economic environment and considerable headwinds that we have faced over the last year, this is a creditable result, especially considering the unbudgeted spend on RSE1£50.Ik overspend versus budget) and the unfavourable exchange rates on the PEP donation received during the year1£43.7k less than budget). l am pleased to report however that gains from our investments more that offset this deficit- in fact in total we received £229.8k from our investments. Our CEO, Caroline Langley, announced not long after the AGM that she would be leaving us to take up another post in November. Following a careful appointments process the post was offered to Jennifer Norton who joined us in April 2024. We heard the excellent news that the RSE is being published in June of next year and there will be two launch events, in New York and in London. We are also aware that the publication of the RSE will create follow-on publishing opportunities and that we need to consider how best we take advantage of these and promote our other publishing activities. In pursuit of this aim, which encompasses both our financial wellbeing and our charitable aim of disseminating psychoanalytical knowledge for the public good, the Board instigated a consultation process to discover if it would be wise to employ professional expertise to help us promote our publishing activities. We again welcomed a good size intake of students and it has been very heartening to hear how involved and dedicated our candidates are to the standards of psychoanalysis that our Society represents. The success of the Northern training continues- there will be another intake of candidates in this coming year. And we now have our own Irentedl HQ in Leeds. Our Outreach activities have continued to draw large audiences throughout the year and they not only fultil our charitable aim of making psychoanalytic knowledge available for the public good but they are also an important source of income for us. In April next year our Society will host an international conference in Edinburgh on the subject of "The Dynamics of Influence" As well as drawing an international audience the event showcased analytical thinking to interested young mental health professionals in Scotland their attendance was generously supported by the Susan Emery Trust. At the time of writing we look forward to over 200 people attending this event which we hope will serve as a pilot for psychoanalytic conferences in different parts of the UK. Major concern has been the continuing developments stemming from the decision taken in 2017 by the I PA to recognise three sessions a week as a minimum frequency in the Eitingon model. While we are all aware that number of sessions per se are no guarantee of standards it is nevertheless an important indicator. It was in December that we received the report of the IPA'S Task Force Two report on Psychoanalytic Training in Contemporary Times which contained the recommendation that the IPA accept that training analyses can be at a minimum of 25% of sessions in person i.e. that 75% can be online.
The British Psychoanalybcal Society IINcorporating the Institute of Psychoallalysisl nYii.I P-rnrt ?n22 l joined a small group of European president5 who drafted a letter which was subsequently signed by the vast majority of our European counterparts which argued against the IPA accepting the recommendations of TF2 and we a150 sent a letter from our Society, signed by over 200 of our member5 making the same points. The Journal Management Board continues to meet to discu55 matters concerning the journal such as its subscription policies and its continuing internationalization, including encouraging prospects of increasing readership in Latin America. Our colleagues working at 10 Windsor Walk have continued to expand the range and quality of their activ- ities and are building an admirable centre of psychoanalysis in South London with their initiative and hard work. It was announced in January that the 10 Windsor Walk Refugee and Asylum Seeker Psychoanalytic Therapeutic Playgroup team had won the 'Gwen Kirkwood, award from the Association of Infant Mental Health for increasing access to Infant Mental Health services for infants and parents from Black. Asian and other minority ethnic groups. This award follows a highly successful past two years for the playgroup- in 2022 IOWW received the BPC'S PPNOW award for 'lnnovative Excellence, in recognition for the group. In closing I would like to acknowledge the enormous amount of work that is done by our members, our lay experts and our excellent staff group. Vic Sedlak President, British Psychoanalytical Society.
The British Psychoanalybcal Society IINcorporating the Institute of Psychoallalysisl nYii.I P-rnrt ?n22 Who we are The British Psychoanalytical Society Ilncorporating the Institute of Psychoanalysis) was founded by the British neurologist Ernest Jones as the London Psychoanalytical Society on 30 October 1913. The Society was refounded after the First World War in 1919 by Ernest Jones as the British Psychoanalytical Society, who served as its first President. The Society established a clinic and a training arm, known as the Institute of Psychoanalysis. With around 564 members, we are a UK and international community of professionals, dedicated to helping people enhance their lives through an intensive talking therapy, psychoanalysis. Psychoanalysts trained in the British Society have the highest professional standards and qualification5 and our training process is world renowned. Our History and influence Psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic ideas have a profound, far reaching and ongoing influence on health services and wider society. Some of our members were responsible for setting up and developing psychoanalytically informed centres of excellence in the N HS, such as the Tavistock Clinic, the Portman Clinic and the Maudsley Hospital, where we continue to train, teach and supervise. Others hold leading roles within our main universities. Our alumni include some of the most important figures in the history of psychoanalysis, including Michael Balint, Wilfred Bion, John Bowlby, Anna Freud, Melanie Klein, Joseph Sandler, Hannah Segal and Donald Winnicott. Current members are also world renowned psychoanalysts at the forefront of psychoanalytic practice and new outcome studies have recently emerged confirming the long-term effectiveness of this treatment. Our Purpose Our purpose is defined as 'lncreasing the knowledge of the branch of science known as psychoanalysis including, but not limited to, training persons to practice psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy and improving the treatment of psychological and mental health problems by the technique of psychoanalysis" We aim to develop our position as the leading centre of excellence in the UK in the provision of psychoanalytic training, education, publication and clinical practice and to develop a professional organisation for the furthering of psychoanalysis through diversity and debate. To support the development of psychoanalytical knowledge as a general theory of mind. To maintain and further the clinical and scientific standards of psychoanalysis. To promote an internal culture where a diversity of psychoanalytic theories and techniques are valued and can be debated with intellectual openness. To train high quality psychoanalytic professionals in sufficient numbers to maintain and develop the profession of psychoanalysis.

The British Psychoanalybcal Society IINcorporating the Institute of Psychoallalysisl nYii.I P-rnrt ?n22 The total membership of the Society has increased very slightly in 2023. The increase in the number of Fellows is encouraging, indicating that Members continue to want to further their professional development to consolidate their expertise and their analytic identity. It is also encouraging that the number of Candidates is slightly larger than last year. The Introductory Lectures, Foundation Course and Post Foundation Course continue to attract large numbers and the pathway from these courses to the full training continues to be fruitful. About a third of Candidates are from outside London, indicating the success of the Regional Committee and Northern Training Coordinating Committee in supporting those keen to become psychoanalysts to access the full training, as well as supporting psychoanalytic psychotherapists who want to develop their expertise to access the modified training route via the New Entry Scheme IN ESI. with one additional NES Entrant this year. The success of these schemes mean that there are increasing numbers of Members living outside London ensuring that access to psychoanalysis is gradually developing across the United Kingdom. During 2023, nearly 50 members have been appointed to voluntary positions on committees, indicating the ongoing willingness of the membership to devote considerable amounts of their time to SUPPOrt the charitable aims of the Society.

The Clinic has undergone significant reorganisation in the form of new protocols and a new Clinic Handbook, to clarify clinical responsibility, risk management, and case management planning. The new protocols also outline the process for using flexible cases from private practice or other routes, and their adoption is seen as important for regional training and the integration of Clinic North and regional training. During the year 19 new cases were begun as compared to 11 the previous year. This was achieved partly through considerable work by the Clinic Consultants and the Lead Consultant Marina Perris, but also being able to take advantage of the new course in Assessment which candidates undertake and which includes candidates themselves undertaking consultations under supervision. The Westminster Centre for Young People helped 81 young people1142 cases) in 1,356 Psychotherapeutic sessions. 62% of the young people we supported were from non-white British ethnic backgrounds. 17

The Clinic continues to establish connections with NHS psychotherapy services and local organisations to discuss patients seeking five times a week analysis, with the goal of expanding treatment options. Additionally, the Clinic is developing pathways for patients who have undergone consultation and are not recommended for analysis, including referrals to external organisations and the Clinic's own referral system to members. 2. A new patient management System, provided by Lamplight, will be implemented in the summer, streamlining administration. Clinic North Slgnlflcant actlvles durlng 2023 The Clinic North continues to support the development of regional candidates, including those in Scotland, with a significant increase in enquiries over the past year. Looking to the future The Clinic North has seen an increase in candidates and there is currently a 2-year gap between cohorts, leading to an increase in low-fee analysis vacancies in the North. The Clinic North is establishing a presence in the area and contributing to mental health care, supporting the development of newly qualified analysts and the Institute's charitable aims. 18

The British Psychoanalybcal Society IINcorporating the Institute of Psychoallalysisl nYii.I P-rnrt ?n22 Financial Highlights for 2023 The Society's income for the year was £2,163,04712022'. £2,137,891). Expenditure forthe year was £2,140,43412022.' £2,101,714). The surplus for the year ended 31 December 2023 was £252,46112022.' £648,325 deficit) of which £229,84812022= £684,502 deficit) was attributable to gains/llossesl on stock exchange investments. The Society's operating surplus of £22,61312022- £36,177) before the investment surplus was slightly behind the amount anticipated by the annual budget setting process. At 31 December 2023, the Society's reserves are made up of £4,400,12112022= £4,466.4841 of general funds. £180,00012022'. £180.0001 held in a revaluation reserve and £5.347.45112022.' £4,996,104) of restricted funds. General funds include £3,724,83212022= £3.845.484I of Tangible Fixed Assets which, once excluded, leaves free reserve5 of £675.28912022'. £621,000). Sources of funding The principal sources of funding for the Society are annual membership subscriptions. journal subscription income and investment income. Annual membership subscription rates are reviewed and set by the Board each year and the Society's element of the total amount collected represents 18% of income from charitable activities12022'. 17%). This is a stable source of income. Subscriptions to the International Journal of Psychoanalysis represented 220h of income from charitable activities12022.' 23%1. This source of income is relatively stable but remains vulnerable to a general decline in sales of all academic journals. Investment income fluctuates with the market and 2023 saw a stable performance despite the difficult market conditions. Investment Policy In accordance with the Trustee Act 2000 an investment policy statement was developed and approved by the Board on 28 August 2010. All General and Restricted Funds are managed on a pooled basis by Sarasin & Partners on behalf of the Society. Quarterly reports are received by the trustees from Sarasin. In addition to the annual presentation to investors in the fund, a one to one meeting is held with the investment sub- committee twice a year. More frequent meetings are held if required. The investment objective of the fund is to achieve long-term capital and income growth, providing sufficient income to support today's beneficiaries whilst still seeking real growth in capital to meet the future needs of the charity. Consequently, funds are invested across a range of asset classes with a strong bias to 'real" assets such as equities. The investments are held in the Sarasin Climate Active Endowments Fund, as follows.. No investment in companies with 5% or more of their turnover involved in the mining of thermal coal or tar sands. Following engagement, no investment in companies that needlessly emit signilicant quantities of carbon into the atmosphere, or which do not take seriously the transition to a low carbon economy. Zero tolerance on tobacco production and manufacturing of tobacco related product5. No investment in companies that generate significant turnover from the manufacture of arms, alcohol, gambling or pornography. 28
The British Psychoanalybcal Society IINcorporating the Institute of Psychoallalysisl nYii.I P-rnrt ?n22 During the year the Society returned a gain on investments of £197,32512022: £684,502 lossl as the investments recovered from difficult market conditions experienced during 2022. Investment performance for the year resulted in a 8.2% gain, compared to the benchmark gain of 11.7°A experienced in 2022. Policy on reserves The Board reviewed the reserves policy in December 2023 when it was decided that the level of free reserves should remain within the range £600,000 to £800,000. This was based on a number of factors.. Commitments. The nature of the business is such that publishing, clinical and educational obligations are entered into for a considerable number of years ahead and short term reductions in expenditure are difficult to implement. b. Fundraising. Since the Society does not raise fund5 through fundraising activities, the ability to meet the objects of the charities lincluding the restricted funds) on a continuing basis means that capital has to be preserved to provide the funding resources c. Contingencies. Reserves are required sufficient to meet unforeseen expenditure, for example in relation to maintenance of the building or an unforeseen legal di5PUte. Free reserves are required to avoid the necessity of realising fixed assets, which are held for the charity's long term use and essential for its functioning. d. Project funding. To finance large projects and avoid borrowing for projects the income from which is not expected to be received for some years. Free reserves after allowing for Designated Funds increased to £668,153 at the end of 202312022= £521,000). This was made up of invested general funds of £451,06912022..426,8281 and net current assets of £217,08412022.' £194,172). The free reserves are monitored carefully to achieve the level set by the Board. Free Reserves does not include Restricted Funds which amounted to £5,347,451 at 31st December 202312022.. £4,996,104}. The current free reserves are £675,289 which is within the range set by the board at it most recent review. Designated Funds at the end of 2023 were £Nil12022: £32,523). The Benevolent Fund, previously held as a designated fund, was transferred into restricted funds in 2023 Trustees Responsibilities The trustees, who are also directors of the charitable company, are responsible for preparing their report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable lawl. The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company and of the surplus or deficit for that period. In preparing these financial statements the trustees are required to.. Select 5Ultable accounting policie5 and apply them consistently. Observe method5 and principles in the Charities SORP. 29
The British Psychoanalybcal Society IINcorporating the Institute of Psychoallalysisl nYii.I P-rnrt ?n22 Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. State whether applicable 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 assume that the charitable company will continue in operation. The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. The trustees are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the a55ets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. Statement of Disclosure to the Auditor So far as the Board of Trustees are aware: There is no relevant audit information of which the Charity's auditors are unaware.. and They have taken all steps that they ought to have taken a5 Trustees and in order to make themselve5 aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Charity's auditors are aware of that information.

Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland
The British Psychoanalybcal Society IINcorporating the Institute of Psychoallalysisl nYii.I P-rnrt ?n22 In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the tinancial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If. based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fart. We have nothing to report in this regard. Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: the information given in the Trustees, Annual Report (which includes the strategic report and the directors, report prepared for the purposes of company lawl for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements,. and the strategic report and the directors, report included within the Trustees, Annual Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Matters on which we are required to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees, Annual Report (which incorporates the strategic report and the directors, report). We have nothing to report in respect of the following rnatters in relation to which the Companie5 Act 2006 requires u5 to report to you if, in our opinion.. adequate accounting records have not been kept by the charitable company,. or the charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns- or certain disclosures of trustees, remuneration specified by law are not made,. or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit Responsibilitie5 of trustees for the financial statements As explained more fully in the trustees, responsibilities statement on page 29, the trustees Iwho are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company lawl are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 32
The British Psychoanalybcal Society IINcorporating the Institute of Psychoallalysisl nYii.I P-rnrt ?n22 Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: Based on our understanding of the charitable company and the environment in which it operates, we identitied that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to regulatory requirements for GDPR, Charities Act 2011 and Companies Act 2006 and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effert on the tinancial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, income tax and payroll tax. We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements lincluding the risk of override of controlsl, and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries to revenue and management bias in accounting estimates and application of controls around authorisation of expenditure and payments. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included.. Inspecting correspondence with regulators and tax authorities,. Discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of non- compliance with laws and regulation and fraud; Evaluating management's controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities,. Identifying and testing journals, in parhcular journal entries posted with unusual account combinations, postings by unusual users or with unusual descriptions; and Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their critical accounting estimates Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at- www.frc.or auditorsres onsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report. Use of our report This report 15 made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work ha5 been undertaken so that we might State to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or a55ume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable compan¢s members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Annual Report 2023
1 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
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 2015 (Second Edition, effective 1 January 2019)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Going Concern
The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern. The Trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the Trustees have considered the Charity’s forecasts and projections and have taken account of pressures on donation and investment income. After making enquiries the Trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
The Trustees do not forsee any material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Income Recognition
Income is recognised when the Charity has entitlement to the funds, performance conditions are met where relevant, and it is probable that the income will be received and can be measured with sufficient reliability.
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Membership subscription income is recognised in the year to which it relates, net of the cost of enrolling members with the third party organisations that form part of their subscription.
Journal subscription income is accounted for in the year within which the date of the publication falls. Amounts invoiced or received in the year, relating to publications for future periods, are deferred.
Event based income is recognised on the date of the event - income and expenditure related to the event is accounted for in the year in which the date of the event occurs. Deposits received, or costs incurred, by the balance sheet date for events for a future year are deferred.
Legacy income is recognised when the charity becomes aware of entitlement through notification from the executor, grant of probate has occurred and any conditions attached to the legacy are within the control of the charity.
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and that the amount of the obligation can be reliably measured. Charitable expenditure includes all costs relating to the furtherance of the charitable objectives. Governance costs include those incurred in the governance of the charity and its assets, and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements. Support costs not directly related to a particular activity and governance costs are allocated between charitable activities on the following bases:
Property occupation costs: by floor space Support and governance costs: by staff time Depreciation: by floor space
Annual Report 2023
1 Accounting policies (continued)
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are shown at cost less accumulated depreciation and any provisions arising from impairment of the value of the assets. Depreciation is provided to write off the cost, less estimated residual values, of fixed assets, over their expected useful lives calculated at the following rates:
- Freehold and long leasehold buildings 2% per annum on the straight line basis - Building Development 2% or 5% per annum on the straight line basis, determined by the expected life of each asset - Computers, furniture and fittings 25% per annum on the straight line basis - Library 2% per annum on the straight line basis Archives - 2% per annum on the straight line basis
The element of property values attributable to land is not depreciated.
Restricted Funds
Income received for purposes specified by the donor are shown as Restricted Funds in the statement of financial activities. Expenditure consistent with the specified purpose of the fund is applied to the relevant fund. Any unexpended amount at the balance sheet date is carried forward within restricted funds.
Designated Funds
The Trustees, at their discretion, may set aside funds to cover specific future costs. Such funds are shown as designated funds within General funds. Where the Trustees decide such funds are no longer required for the purposes intended, they may be released by transfer to general funds.
Investments
Investments in listed securities are shown in the balance sheet at their market value on the balance sheet date. Investment income, realised gains and losses and unrealised gains and losses arising on revaluation are attributed to the fund for which the investments are held. Investment land is carried at fair value determined regularly by an external valuer and derived from the current market rents and investment property yields for comparable real estate, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. No depreciation is provided. The aggregate surplus or deficit arising on revaluation is transferred to the revaluation reserve except where a deficit is deemed to represent a permanent diminution in value, in which case it is charged to the income and expenditure account.
Financial Instruments
The Society has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the Charity's balance sheet when the Charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. With the exceptions of prepayments and deferred income all other debtor and creditor balances are considered to be basic financial instruments under FRS 102.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised initially at transaction price less attributable transaction costs. With the exception of training loans (detailed in note 9) all debtors and creditors are payable within normal business terms and none are due beyond 12 months of the invoice date. Other debtors and training loans are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Annual Report 2023
1 Accounting policies (continued)
Financial assets
Financial assets, other than investments, are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs) and subsequently held at cost, less any impairment.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the financial instrument's contractual obligations, rather than the financial instrument's legal form. Financial liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs) and subsequently held at amortised cost.
Foreign currency
Transactions undertaken in foreign currencies are translated to sterling at an average rate for the year. Balances denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the closing rate. All foreign currency differences are applied to the balance of the General Fund.
Joint Venture Accounting
An entity is treated as a joint venture where the Society is party to a contractual agreement with one or more external parties to undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control. In these accounts the Society’s interests in joint ventures are accounted for at cost less any provision for impairment.
Pension schemes
Once employees have progressed beyond their probationary period the Society makes contributions on behalf of them to either a personal stakeholder scheme with Standard Life or, subject to the Society’s approval, another defined contribution scheme nominated by the employee. The costs of the employer contributions are expensed immediately as with other payroll costs.
2 Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees have made the following judgements:
- Determine whether there are indicators of impairment of the Charity's tangible assets. Factors taken into consideration in reaching such a decision include the economic viability and expected future financial performance of the asset and where it is a component of a larger cash-generating unit, the viability and expected future performance of that unit.
Other key sources of estimation uncertainty
-
Tangible fixed assets, other than investment land, are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. In re-assessing asset lives, factors such as technological innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programmes are taken into account. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values.
-
Listed investments are valued at the quoted bid price at the reporting date.
-
Investment land is professionally valued using a yield methodology. This uses market rental values capitalised at a market capitalisation rate but there is an inevitable degree of judgement involved in that each property is unique and value can only ultimately be reliably tested in the market itself.

Membership income is shown net of the cost of enrolment of members in other third party organisations of £171,283 (2022: £163,911), which is part of their subscription entitlement. The Institute collects the enrolment fee from members with their subscription, and pays it over directly to the third party organisations. This has no impact on the net movement in funds.

12 Restricted Funds (continued)
The Board administers various restricted funds in addition to the general fund. Decisions on the disbursement of these funds are taken by the Trustees of the Society (with the exception of the Eric Simenauer Foundation for whom the President, the Honorary Secretary and a third member elected by the Society’s members act as Trustees). The funds are:
The Armstrong Clay Fund set up to provide reduced fee treatment for those otherwise unable to afford psychoanalysis.
The Erich Simenauer Foundation is a fund set up in 1981 for the promotion of psychoanalytical research and education.
The Henri Rey Fellowship Fund provides financial assistance to trainee psychiatrists who wish to train as a psychoanalyst with the Society.
The Herbert Rosenfeld Fund was established to support the Herbert Rosenfeld Clinical Essay Prize.
The Insight Trust Fund is a fund set up in 1968 for the assistance of persons in pecuniary need to obtain psycho-analytical treatment or other treatment based on psycho-analytical principles. In December 2005 the Charity Commissioners directed that this trust should be treated as forming part of the Institute of Psychoanalysis for the purposes of Part II (registration) and Part VI (accounting) of the Charities Act 1993.
The Mrs AS Strachey Bequest was set up to make loans and grants to registered students of the Society.
The Pearl King Archives Trust was established for the retention and availability of historic psychoanalytic records.
The Sylvia Payne Psychoanalytical Training Fund was set up to promote education training and research for registered students of the Society.
The W.H. and S.M. Gillespie Fund is to be used specifically towards raising the profile of psychoanalysis in society with the objective of attracting new members. The fund should be used to include arranging public lectures in London by distinguished people, from other disciplines (e.g. from the world of science and literature).
The William Inman Fund was originally bequeathed to the Society, however, on 20 January 2003, the Society donated the entire fund to the Institute of Psychoanalysis to be held as a restricted fund under the same trusts and in furtherance of the objects of the Will. This fund was established to promote research in the field of psychosomatic ophthalmology and the furtherance of psychoanalysis.
The Winnicott Clinic Fund for Child and Adolescent Analysis was set up in 2009 for the sole purpose of funding child and adolescent psychoanalytic treatment within the Child and Adolescent Training of the Institute of Psychoanalysis and to develop child and adolescent psychoanalysis.
The Athol Hughes Fund for Child and Adolescent Psychoanalysis was set up in 2021 and is to be used for the subsidy of child and adolescent psychoanalytic treatment with the Institute of Psychoanalysis for persons deemed otherwise unable to afford treatment and generally for the promotion and development of child and adolescent psychoanalysis.

20 Financial instruments
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Company’s cash management are only included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for inclusion in the cash flow statement.
Trade and other debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised initially at transaction price less attributable transaction costs. With the exception of training loans detailed below, all debtors and creditors are payable within normal business terms and none are due beyond 12 months of the invoice date.
Student loans
Concessionary training loans of up to £10,500 are made to students of the Institute of Psychoanalysis in need of financial assistance during their training period, awarded up to a value of £3,500 per academic year. Each loan application is assessed by a Committe made up of the Honorary Treasurer, the CEO and the Head of Finance. The loan is interest free and is repayable within five or seven years post qualification dependent on the value of the loan made. These loans are recognised at the amount initially advanced to each student, less repayments made up to the balance sheet date. The Society requires students with loans to contribute to an annual life insurance policy for the duration of the loan, and premiums are added to the loan each year whilst there is a balance outstanding.
Investment in shares
Investment in shares are all listed investments which are recognised initially at transaction price and thereafter are valued at the quoted bid price at the reporting date.
