Trustee appointment, induction and training

The trust deed provides for a minimum of three trustees. Where there is a requirement for new trustees, these would be identified and appointed by the remaining Trustees under the powers given by the trust deed. One of the Trustees would be made responsible for the induction of any new trustee, which involves awareness of a trustee’s responsibilities, the governing document, administrative procedures and the history and philosophical approach of the charity. A new trustee would receive copies of previous years’ annual reports and accounts and appropriate leaflets published by the Charity Commission.

The Trustees may appoint nominees to be Trustees by resolution of a meeting of the trustees.

The Trustees are in regular contact with each other during the year to discuss operational matters including grantmaking, investment strategy and financial performance.

Risk management

The Trustees have examined all potential major risks which the charity faces and confirm that systems are established to manage these risks.

The Community of S Egidio predominantly supports the work of the Community of S Egidio Italy, as set out on its governing document. The Trust made grants to a number of charitable causes amounting to £24,848 (2020: £52,619) in the year.

Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE COMMUNITY OF S EGIDIO CHARITABLE TRUST

I report on the accounts of Community of S. Egidio UK Charitable Trust for the year ended 31 December 2022, which are set out on pages 4 to 9.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 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 2011 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 goes 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

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £25,000 your examiner must be independent of the trustees.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. 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.

Notes (forming part of the financial statements)

1 Accounting policies

Community S Egidio UK Charitable Trust is an unincorporated charity registered in England and Wales (no 1018867). The registered office is the Mount Street address shown elsewhere in these financial statements. The charity's operations and principal activities are described in the Trustees' Report.

The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the financial statements.

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of current asset investments, and are drawn up in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and the 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) (published July 2014).

The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair’ view. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing these accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

Going concern

The Trustees are not aware of any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern and have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.

Income

Income is accounted for on a receivable basis when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.

Recognition of liabilities

Liabilities are recognised on the accruals basis in accordance with normal accounting principles, modified where necessary in accordance with the guidance given in the SORP.

Community of S Egidio UK Charitable Trust Trustees’ unaudited annual report and accounts

Expenditure

Expenses are included within charitable activities on the following bases:

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure includes all expenditure directly related to the objects of the charity. Grants payable are charged in the year in which they are paid or committed to be paid, resulting in a legal or constructive obligation.

Governance costs

Governance costs include all expenditure directly related to the administration of the charity including expenditure incurred in the compliance with charitable and statutory requirements. Governance costs are apportioned to charitable activities.

Funds structure and policy

The charity maintains a general unrestricted fund which represents funds which are expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. Such funds may be held in order to finance both working capital and capital investment.

All income and expenditure is shown in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Foreign currencies

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction or, where appropriate, at the rate of exchange in the related forward exchange contract.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the yearend are reported at the rates of exchange prevailing at the yearend or, where appropriate, at the rate of exchange in a related forward exchange contract.

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, in full, to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are classified and accounted for according to the substance of the contractual arrangement as financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the entity after deducting all of its liabilities.

Financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, which include accruals, are initially measured at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost, being transaction price less amounts settled.

Support costs

Support costs include all expenditure that is incurred to facilitate the objects of the charity. Support costs are apportioned to charitable activities.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

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.

The Trustees do not consider that there are any critical estimates or areas of judgement that need to be brought to the attention of the readers of the financial statements.
