OLDHAM ENGINEERING GROUP TRAINING ASSOCIATION LIMITED (THE)
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the Period ended 31 December 2023.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, 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).
Objectives and activities
The Charity aims to deliver quality training and training facilities for apprentices and employees in both member and nonmember companies, particularly within the engineering, manufacturing, and construction industries. Funding is primarily sourced from the Education & Skills Funding Agency (E.S.F.A) and supplemented by other providers.
The Trustees have adhered to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, recognising that providing training enhances employment opportunities for young people and contributes positively to the local economy and society.
Risk management
The trustees have identified and assessed the main risks facing the charity, particularly concerning operations and finances, and are confident that appropriate systems are in place to mitigate these risks.
Public benefit
Trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance to determine the charity's activities and their alignment with public benefit objectives.
Achievements and performance
Significant activities and achievements against objectives
The year 2022-2023 continued to experience a decline in apprenticeship starts, reflecting a national reduction of 6.9% at qualification level 3 and below. This trend has been particularly challenging for small and medium enterprises, compounded by the complexities introduced by recent reforms, including the shift to new Apprenticeship Standards.
Despite these challenges, apprenticeship starts and completions remained steady, demonstrating resilience. Efforts focused on supporting smaller cohorts of learners who faced delays in practical learning due to COVID-19 restrictions, leading to acceptable performance and achievement rates.
Staffing levels have remained stable, with a commitment to developing internal expertise to meet the demands of new apprenticeship standards. Collaboration with other independent training providers continues to foster the development of new standards and the sharing of resources.
Financial review
The financial statements reflect an operating loss of £147,902 for the year (2022: operating profit £90,245). Continued careful management of resources, coupled with strategic investments in training infrastructure and staff development, has supported financial stability amidst economic uncertainties.
Investment in skills is closely linked to local and national economic confidence, which has fluctuated. The Greater Manchester Combined Authority's (GMCA) funded Apprenticeship Levy Matchmaking Service has been instrumental in assisting smaller businesses with apprenticeship training costs, supported by government incentives.
The charity is also actively involved in developing a Local Skills Improvement Plan in Oldham, aiming to enhance skills development and increase apprenticeship uptake.
Reserves policy
The Board and senior management believe the charity has adequate resources to maintain and enhance its training capabilities. Currently, "free reserves" total £382,846 (2022: £294,992), equating to approximately 8 months of expenditure, exceeding the target of 3-6 months.

OLDHAM ENGINEERING GROUP TRAINING ASSOCIATION LIMITED (THE)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Oldham Engineering Group Training Association Limited (The) is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Mount Pleasant Industrial Estate, Lees Road, Oldham, Lancashire, OL4 1JP, United Kingdom.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's articles of association, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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 charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 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 charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. 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.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors 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.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity 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 charity 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 charity 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 recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit 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.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
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:
| Freehold land and buildings | Land not depreciated, Buildings 2% on cost |
|---|---|
| Plant and equipment | 10% on cost |
| Fixtures and fittings | 20% on cost |
| Computers | 25% on cost |
| Office Equipment | 20% on cost |
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.
1.7 Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the charity. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
1.8 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.9 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.10 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.11 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’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.
