An independent Fire Risk Assessment of the Premises was completed in February 2024. PSA International Fire Risk Policy for the building was reviewed, updated and approved by the Board in May 2024.
A planned programme of major repairs and maintenance works to the property was completed during the year. Due to unforeseen structural deterioration, the works were completed with a three-week schedule overrun and a 5% excess to budget.
## (c) Scouting Programmes and Other Activities:
· The pinnacle of the Association's 2024 activities was the 10th World Jamboree which took place in the United States at Camp Raven Knob, North Carolina United States, which was attended by over 1,150 participants from every country where the Association is active. The Jamboree also hosted Polish scout delegations from Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Sweden and Ukraine.

· Polish Scouting Association (Ireland) reached a significant milestone allowing the creation of separate Boy Scout and Girl Guide commissions consisting of 3 districts each.
· The Scout, Guide and Senior Scouts HQ teams continue to actively support the work of new units, mostly in territories where there is no formal PSA International Structure - these include Spain, Belgium, Austria and Germany. A new unit in Hungary was established in 2024.
· The History and Archives Committee continued its work of digitising PSA’s archive documents, responding to archive information requests, publishing articles and brochures based on archival material. To date over 60% of documents have been digitised. Members of this committee are members of the editorial board for a planned publication, “Atlas of Polish Scouting 1918-2018”.

## **POLISH SCOUTING ASSOCIATION (INTERNATIONAL) LIMITED**
## **TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**_
## **Financial review**
In the year expenditure exceeded income by £32,981 (2023 – income exceeded expenditure by £231,712). This was due to planned, major repair and maintenance work on the Charity’s Headquarters Building.
The shortfall was absorbed by the fund balance brought forward giving a total fund balance on 31 December 2024 of £3,315,467 (2023 - £3,348,448).
Of the total unrestricted reserves of £2,138,832 (2023 - £2,559,747), £1,699,552 (2023 - £1,683,709) is in connection with the tangible fixed assets and investment property held by the charity and can only be realised upon a sale of the same which leaves free reserves of £439,280 (2023 - £876,038) for use in the general activities of the charity.
It is currently the policy of the charitable company to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use, at a level approaching four years base operating expenditure. The directors consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in income they will be able to continue the charitable company’s current activities whilst resolving any issues arising from such a decline. It will also permit the charitable company to carry out basic maintenance work on its freehold property as required. The level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
In 2022 the Company signed a Co-operation Agreement with Zwiazek Harcerstwa Rzeczypospolitej (ZHR) acting as agent for the National Freedom Institute, implementing a Polish Government program “Support for the development of scouting organisations 2018-2030”, known by its acronym ROHIS. Under this agreement, the Company received financial support under two categories: Leadership training and programme execution; Institutional support.
The restricted funds granted amounted to £123,361 (2023 - £95,088) and formal reconciliation of expenditure was verified by the Agent in accordance with the Co-operation Agreement.
## **Risk management**
There were no reportable incidents in 2024 nor have there been any up to the report date.
In 2022 the Company appointed a Risk Manager to review risk management processes in all areas of the Company and to create a formal Risk Register. This work is still ongoing.

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**_
The trustees who are also the directors of Polish Scouting Association (International) Limited for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these accounts, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **POLISH SCOUTING ASSOCIATION (INTERNATIONAL) LIMITED**
## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF POLISH SCOUTING ASSOCIATION (INTERNATIONAL) LIMITED**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Polish Scouting Association (International) Limited (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 _The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland_ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
## **Basis for opinion**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the _Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements_ section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
## **Conclusions relating to going concern**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## **Other information**
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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 fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

## **POLISH SCOUTING ASSOCIATION (INTERNATIONAL) LIMITED**
## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF POLISH SCOUTING ASSOCIATION (INTERNATIONAL) LIMITED**
## **Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006**
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:
- the information given in the Trustees report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared, which includes the directors' report prepared for the purposes of company law, is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the directors' report included within the Trustees report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustees report; or
- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
## **Responsibilities of Trustees**
As explained more fully in the statement of Trustees responsibilities, the Trustees, who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purpose of company law, 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**
We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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 (UK) 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.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
## **Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud**
- an understanding of the risk assessment process (including the assessment of the risk of fraud) adopted by the Board is obtained and their attitude to risk ascertained
- an assessment of the susceptibility to material mis-statement of the financial statements as a result of management over-ride or fraud is made
- it is ensured that the engagement team have, collectively, the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to be involved in the assignment, are fully briefed and understand the risks specific to the charity

## **POLISH SCOUTING ASSOCIATION (INTERNATIONAL) LIMITED**
## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF POLISH SCOUTING ASSOCIATION (INTERNATIONAL) LIMITED**
## **Audit responses to risks identified**
The information obtained through the assessment to risk procedures is reviewed and the following work undertaken:
- processes to test the outcomes of our assessment include, a review of Board minutes, analytical review, the relevance and accuracy of significant accounting estimates, substantive testing of significant transactions, work to identify unusual or unexpected accounting entries including the testing of journal entries, information disclosed in the financial statements is traced to supporting documentation. In all instances it is acknowledged that material misstatements that arise from fraud may involve deliberate concealment or collusion and are, therefore, by their very nature harder to detect than those arising from error.
- an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework as applicable to the charity is obtained together with knowledge of the procedures put in place by the charity in order to comply with the same.
It should be noted that Auditing standards limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
## **Use of our report**
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees 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 assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

**POLISH SCOUTING ASSOCIATION (INTERNATIONAL) LIMITED**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Company information**
Polish Scouting Association (International) Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales (Company number: 00405814). And a charity registered with the charity commission in England and Wales (Charity number: 292231). The registered office is 23-31 Beavor Lane, London, W6 9AR.
## **1.1 Accounting convention**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charitable company's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and "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 charitable company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charitable company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
## **1.2 Going concern**
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and that there are no material uncertainties about its ability to continue. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
## **1.3 Charitable funds**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the Trustees for specific purposes. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
## **1.4 Income**
Income is recognised when the charitable company is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charitable company has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charitable company has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
## **1.5 Expenditure**
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Liabilities are acknowledged when a legal or constructive obligation exists at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event.
Governance costs are wholly attributable to the charitable activities of the entity.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **(Continued)**
## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets**
Assets costing more than £10,000 are capitalised.
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Land and buildings 50 years and 12 years straight line Fixtures, fittings & equipment 15% on net book value
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
Assets under construction are not depreciated until they are brought into use.
## **1.7 Investment properties**
Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in profit or loss.
## **1.8 Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
## **1.9 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.
## **1.10 Liabilities**
Liabilities are recognised when there is no obligation at the balance sheet data as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt amount it has received as advanced payments for good and services it must provide.
## **1.11 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.
## **1.12 Foreign exchange**
Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation are included in net income/(expenditure) for the period.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**_
## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements**
In the application of the charitable company’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Investment property comprises that portion of the freehold land and buildings held by the charity used for rental purposes. The fair value of the investment property has been arrived at by applying the average commercial property rental yield percentage as taken from external sources. Significant movements in that percentage are accounted for through investment gains and losses.
If investment properties were stated on an historical cost basis rather than a fair value basis, the amounts would have been included as follows:

In accordance with the provisions of the SORP and FRS 102, rental income is accounted for evenly over the life of the lease. In rent free periods this gives rise to a notional debtor which is released to the Statement of Financial Activities over time. Other debtors of £73,373 relate to this process, of this amount £60,363 (2023 - £73,373) will be released in more than one year.
Further included among other debtors is an amount due from Polish Scouting Association (UK Region) Limited for £150,000 for which repayment has been extended to the end of 2025, a further amount is due from PSA Belgium totalling £2,046.
