star this property answer text <p>The Charity Commission’s guidance on charities in financial difficulty expects trustees to discharge their duties by regularly assessing and monitoring the overall financial position of their charity and by taking steps to ensure that its funds can continue to be used for the purposes for which they were given. Where their charity has to close, the Charity Commission expects trustees to have planned for an orderly shutdown. The directors of charities that are companies also need to take all necessary steps to avoid wrongful trading.</p><p> </p><p>Charities that prepare their accounts on a receipts and payments basis are not required to include a note to their accounts about the charity’s financial circumstances but are encouraged to do so as a matter of good practice. Charities that prepare ‘true and fair’ accounts under the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) must confirm that the charity is a going concern or alternatively advise of any uncertainties as to going concern in the notes to the accounts.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Charity Commission’s Directions to charity independent examiners changed from 1 December 2017 requiring them to review the trustees’ consideration of their charity’s financial circumstances and, where the SORP is followed, the trustees’ assessment of going concern. Auditors of charities already have to report on going concern and the UK charity regulators have required auditors and examiners since 1 May 2017 to advise the regulator directly of any doubts they have as to a charity being a going concern.</p><p> </p><p>This important duty will be a key contribution to the ability of charity regulators to take timely action. UK charity regulators have agreed a common list of matters of material significance to assist auditors in reporting important matters on a timely basis.</p><p> </p><p>The new requirements have strengthened charity regulators’ ability to take action where there are serious concerns about a charity’s financial health or financial management.</p>

star this property answer text <p>Following the British Gambling Prevalence Survey (BGPS) in 2010 it was decided to include questions about gambling participation and the experience of gambling problems in national health surveys. Since then, data from the 2012 and 2015 Health Surveys for England and Scotland as well as the Problem Gambling Survey Wales 2015 has been used to assess rates of problem gambling. The health surveys have a similar methodology to the BGPS and target the same population group, while also allowing for cross-referencing of health and demographic variables with those related to gambling. There are no plans to change this method of data collection.</p><p> </p><p>The Gambling Commission also monitors gambling participation and prevalence through quarterly telephone and online surveys with people aged 16 and over in Great Britain, conducted independently by Populus. Each survey captures the past four weeks’ gambling behaviour, including problem gambling estimates, consumer awareness of gambling tools and perceptions and attitudes towards gambling. These are collated into annual gambling behaviour reports.</p>

star this property answer text <p>The most recent large-scale report was published by the Gambling Commission in 2017, using data from Health Survey for England and Scotland 2015 and Problem Gambling Survey Wales 2015. This estimated the number of adult problem gamblers in Great Britain as approximately 430,000, 0.8% of the population.</p><p> </p><p>The number of gambling adverts on TV rose from 2007, and new types of advertising emerged such as online and on social media. There have been three other published large-scale assessments of rates of problem gambling since then: the British Gambling Prevalence Survey (BGPS) 2007, BGPS 2010 and the Health Survey for England and Scotland 2012. Over the course of these surveys there have been slight adjustments to the approach, questions and methodology, and across this period, observed rates of problem gambling have fluctuated slightly but have remained below 1%. Any observed changes are not statistically significant. The response to the Review of Gaming Machines and Social Responsibility set out a package of initiatives to strengthen protections around gambling advertising. It also recognised that there were gaps in the evidence available, and proposed measures to fill these, including significant research commissioned by GambleAware into the impact of gambling advertising on children, young people and those vulnerable to harm. This is due to be completed next year.</p>
