TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
Introduction
Under the terms of a will proved in the High Court of New Zealand, Dunedin Registry on the 27th May 1975 and a will proved in the High Court of New Zealand, Dunedin Registry on 4th June 1986 a Trust was formed. The income from the funds held on the Trust were paid over to the Rector of St Joseph's College, Mill Hill to be applied by him in accordance with the aims and objectives of the Trust.
In order to regularise the position in the United Kingdom a separate charity was registered on 30th July 1998 (No. 1070773) in which the funds coming from the Trust in New Zealand could be accounted for. The investments and funds held on the Trust in New Zealand are not reflected in these accounts.
Objectives and activities
The principal objective of the Trust is the relief of hunger among the children in the Mission field conducted by St Joseph's Society for the Foreign Missions in India, China and other Asian Countries.
The Trustees have consulted the guidance made available by the Charity Commission for England and Wales on the Public Benefit requirement of the Charities Act. The Trustees are confident that they have complied with their duty under the Charities Act in that they have had due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Commission.
Achievements and performance
Financial review
Total income for the year was £34,737 (2021: £27,347). Total costs for the year were £46,460 (2021: £59,265). At the year end the Trust had closing reserves of £60,578 (2021: £72,501) all of which were classed as unrestricted.
The Trustees consider that the present level of funding remains adequate to support the continuation of the charity's operations. The Trustees have the power to create reserves to provide income to fulfil the objects of the trust. The surplus for the year will provide funds for future years.

The charity will continue to give grants to deserving applicants.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF FLEMING - DUN TRUST
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Fleming - Dun Trust (the charity) for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. 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.
Independent examiner's statement
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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 2011 Act; or
-
2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
1 Accounting policies
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and "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)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
These financial statements are prepared in sterling (£).
Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 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.
1.5 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 offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
1.6 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.7 Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
