Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 December 2025

  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

    Other accounting policies

    Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. Presentation currency The financial statements are presented in pounds sterling (GBP). Going concern The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The company continues to develop its programme and is seeking external funding to support its curriculum, standards and systems. The director and Inovaplus Ltd have confirmed their commitment and financial ability to support the company and to defer repayment of their loans, as necessary, for at least 12 months from the date the financial statements are approved. The costs of maintaining the company's current activities are minimal and can be met from the resources available to these supporters. On this basis, the director considers that the company will be able to meet its obligations as they fall due throughout this period without depending on external funding. Accordingly, the director considers that there are no material uncertainties that cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Comparative information - correction of prior-period error The comparative profit and loss account for the period ended 31 January 2025 has been corrected to include a formation expense of GBP 27, which was omitted from the previously filed profit and loss account. This expense was initially paid by Inovaplus Ltd and reimbursed by the company in January 2025. As a result, comparative administrative expenses and the loss for that period have increased from GBP 308 to GBP 335. The previously reported balance sheet already reflected this expense. Accordingly, comparative net liabilities and accumulated losses remain unchanged at GBP 335. No additional expense has been recognised in the current period in respect of this correction.

Year Ending: 31 December 2025

Company activities and impact

During the period from 1 February 2025 to 31 December 2025, Association of Worship & Venue Technicians CIC undertook preparatory work towards developing technical standards, training and certification for volunteer technicians in places of worship and community venues. This included preparing and determining an outline framework for the proposed standards and liaising with industry professionals about how to develop standards accessible to a volunteer community. The intended community benefit is to support volunteer technicians in developing their technical knowledge and competence for the benefit of the places of worship and community venues they serve. The company had no trading income during the period. The work remained at an early preparatory stage. No training was completed, no certification was awarded and no standards were published during the period. No measurable community impact had been achieved at this stage.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company’s stakeholders are individuals who operate audio, audiovisual, video, streaming and other technical equipment in a voluntary capacity in places of worship and community venues, without having received formal training or instruction. During the reporting period, users and prospective beneficiaries from this community were consulted through discussions at exhibitions and through local contacts. Their feedback highlighted the need for a framework and curriculum that volunteers could access on a part-time basis alongside paid employment and their existing volunteering commitments. This feedback informed the development of a proposed eight-grade structure, similar in approach to the graded model used by the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music. The structure is intended to allow learners to progress through a defined curriculum using their available spare time.

Directors' remuneration

No remuneration was received

Transfer of assets

No transfer of assets other than for full consideration
