During the year ended 31 March 2023, no member of Council received any remuneration for services as a member of the Council (2022 - £nil). During the year ended 31 March 2023, 7 members of Council received reimbursed expenses totalling £497 relating to expenditure incurred on Society business _(2022 – 2 and £95)._ Whilst certain members of Council are actively involved in the local organisation of the Society’s Annual Meetings, no member of Council had a beneficial interest in any contract reportable as a related party transaction with the Society during the year. The President, Convenor, Treasurer (herein after called ‘The Executive’) and other members of Council normally serve for a period of three years. The President is elected by electronic voting of the membership if two or more applications are received one year prior to taking up office and may attend Council meetings as an observer for the twelve month period prior to taking up office. In the event of only one application being received the President Elect is voted in by a show of hands at the January AGM and takes up office the following year. All Council Members are elected by means of electronic voting if two or more expressions of interest are received or at the AGM, by a show of hands if only one expression of interest is received. The Trainee’s representative is elected by the Trainees group and ratified at the AGM. The Associate Members’ representative and the paediatric surgeon (who represents BAPS) are nominated by their respective groups. The organiser of the Annual meeting is invited to attend Council meetings. ## **Objectives and activities** The objects of the Society are the advancement of research, clinical excellence and training in paediatric gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition. In furtherance of these objects but no further or otherwise the Society: (i) Fosters professional relationships with colleagues, both nationally and internationally, and The Society has provided funding for teaching and training, as well as meeting to develop its own strategy and ensure its own good governance. It has also funded advisory committees to develop opinion and advice on a range of topics, reports on which are available from the reports that are regularly issued. Additionally, in planning the activities for the year and for the future, Members of Council confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. 3 ## **THE BRITISH SOCIETY OF PAEDIATRIC GASTROENTEROLOGY HEPATOLOGY AND NUTRITION** ## **COUNCIL’S REPORT** ## **________________________________________________________________________________________________** ## **Achievements and performance** Continuing COVID-19 Restrictions and Lockdowns saw the 2021 Annual Meeting held in April 2021 as a virtual event and the 2022 Annual Meeting postponed until April 2022 and the 2023 Annual Meeting held in March 2023. The end of the financial year saw the retirement of Carla Lloyd, the Society’s long-serving Administrator, with Jennie Mort of Sovereign Conference Exhibitions taking over the role. Support costs were maintained to sustain BSPGHAN business and the second full year of the provision of Frontline Gastro to members. ## **Financial review** - **Results for the year** The Society had net incoming resources for the year of £59,625 _(2022 – £12,447)_ as shown in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 6. - **Reserves and financial position** The Society now has unrestricted reserves totalling £375,624 _(2022 - £315,999)_ which the Society has built up over the years to protect the continuing operation of its activities. The Society regularly reviews the level of reserves at which it requires to operate and has determined that at least £50,000 should now be set aside to cover general uncertainties, reduced income, rising inflation and in the event of unrecovered fixed costs of an Annual Meeting which cannot be held for some reason or another, requiring the refund of registration fees and sponsorship monies. ## **Plans for the future** Council has published a strategy document on its website following a formal strategy meeting held in January 2023. The strategy envisages in 3 key areas of: - Sustainability - High quality education and research - Engagement with other gastroenterological entities external to BSPGHAN. Approved by the Council on 24 November 2023 and signed on its behalf by: Dr Dharam Basude Treasurer 4 ## **THE BRITISH SOCIETY OF PAEDIATRIC GASTROENTEROLOGY HEPATOLOGY AND NUTRITION INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 TO THE COUNCIL OF THE BRITISH SOCIETY OF PAEDIATRIC GASTROENTEROLOGY HEPATOLOGY AND NUTRITION** **________________________________________________________________________________________________** I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of The British Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition (‘the society) for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and related notes. This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 43 of the Charities Act 1993. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 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. An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinion on the accounts. The planning and conduct of an audit go beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide. Consequently, I express no opinion as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the independent examiner’s statement. ## **Independent examiner’s statement** I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the ICAEW which is one of the listed bodies. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: - accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or - the accounts do not accord with those records; or - the accounts do 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.

The accounts, which have been prepared in £s sterling and are rounded to the nearest pound, cover the charity for the reporting date of 31 March 2023 and for the year ended 31 March 2023. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities; Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (Charities SORP FRS 102), issued on 16 July 2014, Update Bulletin 1 issued on 2 February 2016, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. BSPGHAN constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. ## **Assessment of going concern** COVID, economic and other world-wide events continue to pose major challenges and a high level of uncertainty for many, but Members of Council continue to have every expectation that the Society has adequate resources to continue in operation for the next twelve months in meeting its liabilities as they fall due and that the going concern basis of accounting remains appropriate. ## **Income recognition** All income is recognised in the statement of financial activities when the Society is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy and as follows: Membership fees when due and based on the current rates of £125 for full membership, £41 for overseas membership and £25 for associate membership and the membership year to 31 March. Annual and other meetings income comprise applicable educational and other grants and registration fees. Bank interest when receivable. No value is included in income and expenditure for the time donated by members. ## **Expenditure recognition** Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Society to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Charitable expenditure, which excludes VAT, comprises those costs incurred by the Society in the delivery of its activities and services. Under its partially exempt VAT Registration effective from 1 March 2019, the Society is entitled to recover all of input VAT on expenditure directly attributable to its vatable income and a major proportion of input VAT on other expenditure. ## **Allocation of support costs** Support costs have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources and time spent. The costs of the Administrator have been allocated 75% to membership and 25% to governance based on estimated time spent and after allowing for Annual meeting costs, council meetings expenses and other costs that can be directly allocated. The costs of the Assistant Administrator, income collection and other sundry costs have been directly allocated to membership. The Society employs no staff and uses contract services where necessary. ## **Fund accounting** Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Council in furtherance of the general charitable activities. ## **Cash flow** The accounts do not include a cash flow statement because the Trust is exempt from the requirement to prepare such a statement under the Charities SORP (FRS 102) Update Bulletin 1. ## **Taxation** The Society is a registered charity and therefore is not liable for income tax or corporation tax on income derived from its charitable activities, as it falls within the various exemptions available to registered charities. The Society is now registered for VAT under a Partial Exemption arrangement. 8 ## **THE BRITISH SOCIETY OF PAEDIATRIC GASTROENTEROLOGY HEPATOLOGY AND NUTRITION** ## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** **________________________________________________________________________________________________** |**1.**

The COVID-19 Pandemic meant that BSPGHAN had to move to a Virtual Annual Meeting for 2021 and which was not held until April 2021. No sponsorship or registration monies were asked for and the Society bore its IT and other costs of the event totalling £5,011. Continuing Lockdowns in 2021 also meant that the re-scheduled Birmingham Annual Meeting for January 2022 had to be delayed until April 2022 and the 2023 Windsor Annual Meeting was held in March 2023. No BSPGHAN Annual Trainees Meetings were held during 2022 or 2023 although a subsidised Trainees Taster Day was held in October 2022. 10 **THE BRITISH SOCIETY OF PAEDIATRIC GASTROENTEROLOGY HEPATOLOGY AND NUTRITION** ## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** **________________________________________________________________________________________________** |**6.**
