PRESIDENTIAL STATEMENT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30AUGUST 2023
The pericmj from 1 Seplember 21Y22 10 30 Augu512023 was another thalenging year for the Society. We were
pleased lo welcome three of our tenants bath into the building earty in Ihe year and open the doors arKI. of couise,
the bar lo our members for the many confeiences and evening lecaures. H¢Mever, Ihe Cowd pandemic left lis mark
as irtrperson attendance numbers We￿ well on 11)ose we-covid and many people still seerned lo prefer to join
online.
I believe our finances havè been seriously affeded by Ihe pandemic too. Wth the k)ss of 2 years income fri)m
tenants and a sgnificant reduction in our membership numbers, we have been unable to take on more staff lo ease
the loaij on the day-to-day running of Ihe office and the managemenl of the Society. We were therefore severely
hampered in Completing many ol the essential tasks like updaling our website with recordings of past talk5 and
timely promotion ol future events. are also falling behind in our communications wrth members, partieularfy our
new members and our fellows. However stralegies were pul in place lo recover the situation, such as our monthly
online social and we plan to re-introduce our monthly e-Newsleller to provide more regulai communications.
As we read in ovr own publications several olher Spa￿ organisalions have been having their problems too. Virgin

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BRITISH INTERPLANETARY SOCIETY
Audltorfs rnsponslbiltties f*Y the •udTrt of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the finan(i31 ststemènts as a whore are free from
material misstatement. whether due to fraud of error, and to issue an auditofs rewrt that indudes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance 15 a high level of assurance, bLrt is not a guarantee that an audrt conducted in a(xoidan¢e
wilh ISAS IUKI will a￿ayS delect a material misslatement when il exisls. Misstatements can arise from fia(Kl or
error and are considered material rf. indimdvalty or in the aggregate, they coukj reasonably be extkcted lo
inflLJenee the e¢onomic deci5icms of users laken on the basis of these financial slatements.
Irregularities. in¢luding fraud. are Instan￿ of non-Q)mpliance wilh laws and regulations. The extent to which our
procedur8s are CApable of detecting iryularities. induding fraLKI, is delailed bek)w.
Extent to which the avdit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, Sncluding frdud
The objectives ol our audit. in iespect to Iraud. are.. to identify and assess the risks ol material misstatement of the
financial statements due to traud." io obtairb sufficient appropriate audrt e￿den￿ regarding the assessed risks of
material tnisstalement due lo fraud. through designing and implemenling appropriate responses.. and to respond
appropriately lo fraud or su5pe¢ted fraud identified during the audrt. However, the primary responsibility for the
prevention and delection of fraud rests wilh tx)Ih those tharged wth govemance of the enlty and its management.
Our approach was as follows..
We identified areas of13Ws arhd regulatlOn5 that coukl reasonabty be expected to have a material effecl on thè
financial statements from our general ¢offlrneicial and sector experience. and through discussion with the
direclois and other tnanagement las requiied by auditing Standards). and dIsc￿$Sed wth the directors and
other management the ptAieie5 and pr<Keilures regarding ￿1MplIanCe wrth laws and regulations,.
We consKJ*red the 18gal and iegulatory frameworks diiedy applicable to Ihe financial slatements reporting
framework IFRS 102 and the Companie5 Ad 2(K)61 arKI the relevanl lax compliance regulalions in the UK,.
We considered the nature of the industry. the ¢ffitrol environment and bU￿￿eSS performance, induding the key
drivers for management's remuneiation".
We communicated identified taws reguiatws through(Art our learn and remained alert to any indications of
non-compliance throughout thè audrt-
We considered the procedures and controls Ihat Ihe company has established lo address risks identified, or
that otherwise prevent, detw and deled fraud." and how senior management monitors those programmes and
controls.
Othèr mattèr
Based on this understaThJing we designed our audit p(D￿du￿ lo idenb.fy non-(x)mplian¢* with sut* laws and
regulations. ￿ere the risk was consK1e￿d to be higher, we performed audit procedures lo address e8th identified
fraud risk. These procedures induded.. testirrfJ manual joumals". reviewng the finanryal 5taternent disclosures and
testing to suppM)rting documentation., perfoming analytul prO￿Ule$.. and enquiring ol management. and we
designed to prowde reaSona￿e assurance that the finan(ial slatefflents were free from fraud or erTOr.
Owing lo Ihe inherenl limitations ol an audit, there is an unavoidable risk thal we may nol have detecled some
material misstatements in the fin3n(ial statements. even though we have properfy planned and performed our audit
in accordance with audrting standards. For example. the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations
lirregularitiesl is from the events an(5 transactions Tefleded in the financial slatemenls, the Sess likely the inherently
limited pl￿dureS Tequired by audrting stsndards would identty it. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities
occurring due lo fraud rather than ertor. 8s fraud involves intentional concealment, lorgery, collusion, omission or
misrepresenlalion. We a￿ not responyble for pieventing noTrcDmFdiance and cannot be expected to detect non-
compliance wilh all laws and wulalions.
