Report of the Executive Committee
for the year ended 31 December 2023
The Executive Committee of the World Arabian Horse Organization ("WAHO") submit their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.
Legal and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the constitution of the charity and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2nd Edition).
Objectives
The World Arabian Horse Organization ("WAHO") is an unincorporated charity whose objectives include:
-
a) To preserve, improve and maintain the purity of the blood of horses of the Arabian breed and to promote public interest in and the science of the breeding of Arabian horses by continuing the introduction of Arabian blood to the breeding of light horses.
-
b) To advance education for the benefit of the public.
-
c) To promote and facilitate the acquisition and distribution of knowledge in all countries of the history, care and treatment of the Arabian breed.
Countries with purebred Arabian horses which trace to already accepted stud books may apply for Membership of the Organization and for recognition of their own new stud books. Once recognition has been achieved, that country is added to the WAHO Definition and the stud book authority becomes a Registering Authority Member. Each Registering Authority Member is entitled to two voting delegates who may exercise on behalf of that Member all powers of membership in relation to General Meetings of the Organization. Associate Membership is available for any International, National, State, Regional, County or Area Association, Institution or Society, which possesses the object or purpose of the promotion or improvement of the breed of Arabian horse. Associate Members may appoint two observer Delegates to the General Assemblies but do not have voting rights. Individuals, whether or not breeders of Arabian horses, who are interested in the objects of the World Arabian Horse Organization, are eligible to become Individual Associate Members and are welcome as observers at the General Assemblies but do not have voting rights.
Structure, Governance & Management
The charity is an unincorporated body and is governed by a formal constitution adopted in September 1978.

Appointment of Executive Committee members and consultants
The current full members of the WAHO Executive Committee were appointed by the Voting Members of the Organization during the 2017 General Meeting of the Organization based upon a list of candidates proposed by the Executive Committee. According to the WAHO Constitution Clause 12 (c), the members of the Executive Committee are eligible to continue to hold office until the earliest of their voluntary retirement, or until they are required to vacate office in accordance with the WAHO Constitution Clause 15. The officers of the Executive Committee are appointed from within the Executive Committee by the members of the Executive Committee.
Consultants to the Executive Committee are appointed by the Voting Members of the Organization. The first such election took place during the 2019 General Meeting of the Organization from a list of eligible candidates according to the protocol for the nomination of new Consultants to the WAHO Executive Committee. Each elected candidate so approved takes office at the conclusion of the General Meeting at which they were elected. Individuals elected by the General Meeting as Consultants to the WAHO Executive Committee are expected to serve two terms, a term being the period between the WAHO General Meetings, during which time they may be eligible for internal election by the Executive Committee to full Executive Committee membership. In this event, the fact that a person has been correctly nominated and duly elected by the Voting Delegates to be a Consultant to the Executive Committee shall be conclusive evidence that such person was eligible for election and no further vote of the General Meeting will be required to confirm full Executive Committee Membership. To progress from Consultant to full Executive Committee Membership is not automatic. If after two terms, in the exercise of their discretion, the Executive Committee does not elect a Consultant to full Executive Committee Membership, that individual will stand down and not be eligible for future re-nomination or re-election. The Executive Committee shall not be bound to give any reason for these decisions. Elected Consultants may be required to vacate office at any time in accordance with clause 15 of the WAHO Constitution.
There are also 8 Emeritus Members of the WAHO Executive Committee, as listed on the WAHO website, all of whom served for extended periods as Trustees of the Organization. This honorary position reflects the importance of their contributions to WAHO. Their considerable experience means they are available for consultation as and when considered necessary, although they do not have a vote on Executive Committee decisions.

The World Arabian Horse Organization
Report of the Executive Committee for the year ended 31 December 2023 (continued)
Public benefit
The Trustees have given due consideration to Charity Commission published guidance on the operation of the public benefit requirement. Details of the public benefit provided by the charity are described in the developments, activities and achievements section.
Developments, activities and achievements
2023 was a non-Conference year for WAHO. The Executive Committee held one meeting during the year, during which they discussed ways to further the aims and objectives of WAHO for the benefit of the public, including education, welfare and promotion of Arabian horses. The Executive Committee also communicated by email and exercised their constitutional right to take any necessary votes by electronic means. The Executive Committee actively seek to further develop the Organization and develop and increase the Organization's funding.
Our illustrated Newsletter including the full report on the 2022 WAHO Conference was prepared, together with the printed booklet containing the verbatim transcription of the General Meeting sessions, and sent out to our Members in early 2023. The WAHO website was regularly updated, including information about the WAHO Trophy awards made by our Registering Authority Member countries, an initiative started in 2005 which continues to create positive worldwide publicity for WAHO and the Arabian horse. The article on research and available genetic tests for genetic disorders in the Arabian breed remains an important benefit to the public providing information on this subject, it was updated and is available in English, Spanish, French and German.
Throughout the year our Registering Authority Members and Applying Members were given continued advice and assistance, mainly on applying the WAHO rules for correct registration procedures and the accurate administration of their stud books. Guidance was provided to Registering Authority Members having difficulties with registration matters, including imports or exports. WAHO also continued to assist existing and applying Registered Authority Members with their registration queries and in several cases with the preparation, proof reading and examination of their stud books. During the year WAHO also continued to liaise and communicate with other international organizations and was represented at important international meetings related to horses in general and Arabians in particular.
The WAHO Office continued to correspond with our Registering Authority Members, Applying Members, Associate Members and Individual Associate Members, mainly by email, offering advice and answering queries as and when required. Of equal importance, WAHO continues to reply to an ever increasing number of varied queries on Arabian horse-related matters from members of the public world-wide. Through its Executive Committee Members, Executive Secretary, and international membership, WAHO has good contacts with many expert authorities and can therefore answer queries on almost every aspect of the care and welfare of horses in all different climates and situations. WAHO considers that providing this free information and advice is vitally important, as it fulfils some of the core aims of the Organization, in particular to advance education for the benefit of the public and to promote and facilitate the acquisition and distribution of knowledge in all countries. For individuals anywhere in the world with any query about Arabian horses and every aspect of their history, care, treatment and welfare, it is clear that WAHO remains one of the first points of contact.
The WAHO World Pedigree Database project, mainly funded by the Restricted Fund created by the generous 2009 donation from the late Sultan of Oman, continues to provide a valuable educational, research and information resource for the benefit of both WAHO members and the general public. This now includes a great deal of historical pedigree data and has proved extremely useful over the years, although it is not yet available online. Arising from the talk given by Russell Ferris, CEO of Weatherbys, during the WAHO 2022 Conference and subsequent discussions, a detailed Survey was prepared and circulated to our Registry Members. Their replies enabled us to verify their current capacities regarding their existing software, the fact that many already have online studbooks or pedigree databases and what help, if any, those that do not yet have online capabilities might require to achieve their goals. It also gave us an insight into their views on a potential future project to establish a cloud-based Databank for all of the world’s Purebred Arabian Horses. An accessible online facility, incorporating the data we already have on our WAHO Pedigree Database, to which our Member Registries could contribute their horse data and be responsible for its accuracy, would be an incredible resource for all our Members and for the general public.

The World Arabian Horse Organization
Statement of Trustees' responsibilities For the Year Ended 31 December 2023
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under charity law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and accounting 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 adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The World Arabian Horse Organization
Independent examiner's report
TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE WORLD ARABIAN HORSE ORGANIZATION
I report on the unaudited financial statements of the World Arabian Horse Organization for the year ended 31 December 2023, which are set out below.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The Charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ("the 2011 Act"). The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144(2) of the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the financial statements (under section 145 of the 2011 Act);
-
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Independent Examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have 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 2011 Act; or
-
The financial statements do not accord with such records; or
-
The financial statements did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set our 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; or
-
The financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS102).
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 financial statements to be reached.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023
The World Arabian Horse Organization
1 General information
The World Arabian Horse Organization (WAHO) is a charity, limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales under the Charities Act 2011. The registered address of the charity is detailed in the reference and administrative details page.
2 Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.1
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the company's accounting policies (see note 3).
The functional currency of the company is pounds sterling because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates. All figures are rounded to the nearest £1.
The World Arabian Horse Organization meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
2.2 Going Concern
The trustees continue to review their plans and forecasts. Taking into consideration the sufficient reserves, they believe that the going concern basis is appropriate.
2.3 Income
Annual subscriptions and levies from Registering Authority Members and bank and deposit interest are accounted for on the basis of the amounts due in respect of the accounting period.
All other income is accounted for when received.
Investment income is accounted for in the period in which it is received and is shown exclusive of tax deducted or related tax credit.
Trade income is accounted for in the period in which it relates.

Notes to the financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2023 (continued)
2.4 Expenditure
All resources expended are included on an accruals basis and are recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay for expenditure. Costs are directly attributed to one of the functional categories of resources expended in the Statement of Financial Activities where possible.
The Organization is not registered for VAT and accordingly expenditure is shown gross of irrecoverable VAT.
Support costs are allocated based on time spent, and governance costs are included within support costs.
2.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets costing £100 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis: Computer equipment, office equipment and furniture - 20% to 25%.
2.6 Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
2.7 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
2.8 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
2.9 Conversion of foreign currencies
All foreign currency receipts are accounted for on the basis of the sterling amounts received on the date of receipt. Any balance receivable in foreign currencies at financial year end are converted into Sterling at the spot rate at year end.
2.10 Financial instruments
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.11 Operating leases
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities (incorporating the income and expenditure account) on a straight line basis over the lease term.
11

Notes to the financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2023 (continued)
2.12 Pensions
The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.
2.13 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Executive Committee in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
3. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:
The Charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
