## **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.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31/12/2024. 

**Responsibilities and** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the **basis of report** accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

I report in respect of my examination of  the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

**Independent** I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have **examiner's statement** come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
