RECRUITMENT AND APPOINTMENT OF NEW TRUSTEES

New trustees are recruited and appointed by Lord Marland as and when vacancies arise. No outside party can appoint trustees.

ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE

Lord Marland manages the day-to-day administration of the charity. The trustees meet as required.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The trustees are responsible for identifying and reviewing the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable safeguards against fraud and error.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The charity's objects are to make donations to charitable institutions or individuals which are considered by the trustees to be worthy causes. The trustees remain committed to making donations to those charities that they consider to be of value and assistance to their particular field of expertise.

Public Benefit

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in s17(5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, including 'Public Benefit: Reporting' [PB3]. As all donations are made to UK registered charities and Worldwide charities, the trustees believe that The J P Marland Charitable Trust is acting for the benefit of the public.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1 OCTOBER 2021

THE J P MARLAND CHARITABLE TRUST TRUSTEES' REPORT

ACHIEVEMENTS, PERFORMANCE AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)

The trustees pursue a policy of distributing the charity's income by way of donations within the scope of the net resources of the charity, with any surplus being added to reserves.

Reserves Policy

The trustees' policy on the funding of reserves is based upon the Charity Commission document CC19 and therefore recognises the need to hold reserves in order to deal with adverse changes in the levels of income and expenditure in future years. At the year end, total unrestricted funds amounted to £933,447 (2020: £786,433) of which £913,073 (2020: £771,059) related to free reserves. Included in these figures are unrestricted investments held of £889,451 (2020: £763,782) which could be realised if circumstance ever required.

Investment Policy

The investment policy is decided upon by the trustees, in accordance with the terms of the governing document. The trustees have delegated day-to-day responsibility for investments to Handelsbanken Wealth & Asset Management. The investments are held to achieve long-term capital growth, with ad hoc withdrawls made as and when required by the trustees in accordance with the charity's objects.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF

THE J P MARLAND CHARITABLE TRUST

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The J P Marland Charitable Trust for the year ended 1 October 2021, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and the related notes.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees 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.

Independent examiner's statement

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:

  1. Accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 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) Regulation 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 J P MARLAND CHARITABLE TRUST NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1 OCTOBER 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) effective 1 January 2019, the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The charity does not meet the definition of a larger charity under the Charities SORP and is therefore exempt from the requirement to prepare a cash flow statement.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The financial statements are prepared in Sterling (£) which is the functional currency of the charity.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

1.2 FUND ACCOUNTING

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

1.3 INCOMING RESOURCES

Voluntary income includes donations which are recognised as an incoming resources when received.

Investment income is credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period in which it is receivable. All other income is credited in the period in which it is received.

1.4 RESOURCES EXPENDED

Liabilities are recognised as resources as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under the headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.

Grants payable are payments made to third parties in furtherance of the charitable objects of the Trust. The grants are accounted for where the trustees have agreed to pay the grant without condition and the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant.

Governance costs consist of costs not directly attributable to direct charitable expenditure, but which are in respect of the general administration of the charity and overall management of the funds.

1.5 INVESTMENTS

Fixed asset investments are stated at market value at the balance sheet date. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals throughout the year.

Unrealised gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities. Realised gains are the difference between disposal proceeds and carrying value and are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities under gains and losses on investments.

1.6 TAXATION

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
