Malacological Society of London AGM 2025

FINANCIAL REPORT for 2024 by Honorary Treasurer, Dr Tom S. White

Finance for the financial year ending 31st December 2024

Firstly, I would like to express my sincere thanks to my predecessor, Dr Katrin Linse, for her careful stewardship of the Society’s finances, which have continued to remain stable during 2024; the Society is in excellent financial health, with plenty of reserves should income become an issue.

The Society again enjoyed an overall gain of £19,545.16, largely due to the profit share from the Journal of Molluscan Studies and gains in the Fixed Interest and Investment funds. Higher expenditure on awards and meetings was made in 2023 (compared with previous years), and this trend continued in 2024, drawing mainly on income from Oxford University Press.

As of 31[st] December 2024, the total funds of the Malacological Society of London are £581,559.53, of which £118,362.81 are in cash deposits, and £463,196.72 in its COIF investment funds. During 2024, no funds were transferred from the current account to savings accounts.

In 2024 the main charitable activities were the funding of ECR and SCR research projects (total cost of £11,865), supporting students to attend conferences (£2,842.94) and the Molluscan Forum (£1,510). The Annual Award was also made (£500). These figures are lower than in 2023 due to several recipients claiming their awards in January 2025, due to the timing of the awards round.

Separately, the profit-share from the publication of the Journal of Molluscan Studies ( JMS ) in 2024 provided the Society with most of its income to its cash account, contributing £42,399, a slight reduction on the £44,092 received in 2023. The Editor of the Journal, Dr Dinarzarde Raheem, and the Assistant Editors are to be commended for their hard work contributing to the publication of our scientific journal.

In 2024, travel and meeting related spending was £2,243.06 / £5,819, a reduction on the much higher spending in 2023 (£9,815 / £8,577) and in line with expenditure in 2022 (£2840 / £6423). Overall expenditure was lower than in 2023, but given the gains being made in the investment funds it will be worth discussing how to balance the need to maintain a financial cushion for the Society with an uplift in spending for future awards rounds.
