## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2023** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

The financial activities of the charity for the year are set out in these financial statements. 

The charity has achieved its aim of supporting its charitable objective by making grants to various charitable institutions. 

The principal income for the year was investment income on the charity share portfolio amounting to £51,826 (2022£52,599). Donations to the Portrait collection in the year totalled £Nil (2022 - £52,000). Gifts in Kind related to the management and promotion of the Portrait Collection were £61,600 (2022 - £48,000) 

The charitable activities undertaken during this year consist of 110 grants paid to 98 (2022 - 121) charitable organisations for the year totalling £314,372 (2022 - £446,283). 

Net realised losses on the Investment Portfolio amounted to £96,945 (2022 gains - £3,801). Net unrealised losses on the Investment Portfolio totalled £116,312 (2022 - gains £77,788). An unrealised gain of £22,600 (2022 - £2,600) arose from the revaluation of the Portrait Collection and there were unrealised gains on exchange totalling 109,461 (2022 - loss 26,164) which resulted in the net unrealised gains of all investments for the year amounting to £15,749 (2022 - £54,224 loss). 

The net decrease in charity funds was £401,689 (2022 - £346,667). 

## **Investment policy and objectives** 

The charity has one Investment Portfolio with an an Investment Manager based in Germany. Global events in 2022 and 2023 continue to lead the Investment Manager to adopt a cautious approach with regard to investment strategy in the current year and the funds under management in cash and bonds increased slightly to 59% (2022 - 58%), which resulted in a corresponding decrease in the Equity allocation of the Portfolio. Benchmarks are agreed between the Trustees and the Investment Managers who then report to the trustees on a quarterly basis. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity has in place a reserves policy whereby adequate reserves are maintained, taking into account its analysis of future needs and opportunities in its area of operation and having regard to expectations of its future levels of income and expenditure. The level of reserves and the reserves policy are reviewed annually by the Trustees. 

The Trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level providing an investment return which is fully expended, with any annual shortfall being met from those free reserves. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

**SHORESH CHARITABLE TRUST** 

## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2023** 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Charity constitution** 

The charitable trust was constituted by a Deed of Declaration of Trust dated 12 February 1998 under the full title 'Shoresh Charitable Trust (Dr Ruth Borchard Gift)' and by subsequent Deed of Variation dated 19 September 2001. 

On 23 May 2016, the Trustees resolved to vary the Trust Deed to permit the first President, Professor Daniel Sperber, to remain in office until he attained the age of 80 years. 

The Trustees have a minimum of two meetings a year to discuss the charity's affairs and to allocate grants and make such decisions as to the general management of the charity as they deem fit. 

The appointment of Trustees is governed by the Declaration of Trust dated 12 February 1998. Rules governing the appointments of new Trustees, the eligibility for trusteeship and the determination of trusteeship are also contained in  the Trust Deed. Appointment of Trustees is made by the existing trustees and is confirmed by Deed of Appointment. A sub-committee of Trustees serves as an Investment Committee and oversees the investment performance of the charity with appropriate professional guidance. 

The Trust Deed gives the Borchard Family Council authority to appoint one trustee who is a member of the Borchard Family. Mrs Rachel Borchard Lewis was appointed as the Borchard Family Trustee on 3 November 2015. 

Existing trustees are responsible for the induction and training of new Trustees following their appointment. Apart from the Borchard Family Council, there are no persons external to the charity who are entitled to appoint trustees. 

The investment portfolios of the charity are professionally managed by Asset Managers in Germany. The Ruth Borchard Portrait Collection is managed by a professional curator in the UK. 

## **Risk management** 

The Trustees actively review, on a regular basis, the major risks to which the charity is exposed. The Trustees believe that, in respect of the financial, operational and business risks faced by the charity, adequate systems have been established to mitigate those risks.

## **Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Shoresh Charitable Trust** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Shoresh Charitable Trust (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

## **Other information** 

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.  We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or 

- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

Page 9 



## **Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Shoresh Charitable Trust** 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to  fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, incl 

Based on our understanding of the charity and the sector in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to UK tax legislation and regulations which govern the preparation of financial statements, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the  financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the financial statements. We evaluated the Trustees' incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries to increase income, through management bias in manipulation of accounting estimates or accounting for significant transactions outside the normal course of business. Audit procedures performed included: 

o Enquiry of management around actual and potential litigation and claims and instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations; 

o Auditing the risk of management override of controls, through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, testing accounting estimates (because of the risk of management bias), and evaluating the rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of operations; 

o Reviewing financial statement disclosures and agreeing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations; and 

o             Review of Trustee meeting minutes. 

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditor's responsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets. 

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities, measured at fair value through income or expenditure. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity and rounded to the nearest £1. 

## **Going concern** 

In view of the significant investment balances, which are highly liquid, there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue to operate as a going concern. 

## **Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions** 

The charity does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is not a larger charity as defined in the SORP. 

## **Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 

The Charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, within the  next financial year, are the levels of future funding and expenditure on charitable activities and the fair values ascribed to the Portrait Collection. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

**SHORESH CHARITABLE TRUST** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the year ended 31 March 2023** 

## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** 

## **Income** 

Donations, are recognised when the Trust has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due. This is normally upon notification by our investment advisor of the dividend yield of the investment portfolio. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objects of the Trust. In the case of an unconditional grant offer this is accrued once the recipient has been notified of the grant award. The notification gives the recipient a reasonable expectation that they will receive the one-year or multi-year grant. Grants awards that are subject to the recipient fulfilling performance conditions are only accrued when the recipient has been notified of the grant and any remaining unfulfilled condition attaching to that grant is outside of the control of the Trust. 

Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty as to the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable. 

The provision for a multi-year grant is recognised at its present value where settlement is due over more than one year from the date of the award, there are no unfulfilled performance conditions under the control of the Trust that would permit the Trust to avoid making the future payments, settlement is probable and the effect of discounting is material. The discount rate used is the average rate of investment yield in the year in which the grant award is made. This discount rate is regarded by the trustees as providing the most current available estimate of the opportunity cost of money reflecting the time value of money to the Trust. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Foreign currencies** 

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the net income/expenditure for the year.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the year ended 31 March 2023** 

## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** 

## **Financial instruments** 

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs. 

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. 

Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. 

## **Portrait Valuation** 

The portrait collection is measured at fair value as set out in Note 10.

## **10. FIXED ASSET INVESTMENTS - continued** 

The Portrait Collection was subject to independent, professional valuation at 31 March 2023. The valuation was undertaken by Dr Robert Travers of Robert Travers Works of Art Limited. The methods and significant assumptions used to ascertain the fair value of £2,753,585  (2022 - £2,730,985) are as follows: 

Methods: Using market values recorded for comparable works, taking into account the period, condition and rarity of the self-portrait. 

Assumptions: The Ruth Borchard Collection is a unique assemblage of Modern British self-portrait paintings of greater value than its individual components and this is reflected in the valuations.
