**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023** 

## **UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA TRUST (UK) (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)** 

The Trustees present their report and the audited accounts for the year ended 30 June 2023. 

**Structure, Governance and Management** 

## Organisational Structure and Governing Document 

The Trust is a company limited by guarantee. The University of California Trust (UK) was incorporated in December 1998. 

The Trust is a registered charity under the laws of England and Wales, which is overseen by the United Kingdom Charity Commission. A Management Board is responsible for the activities of the Trust. The Board ensures that the mission of the Trust is implemented, and that the financial and management matters adhere to English and Welsh law. 

There are currently eight embers each giving a guarantee to contribute a sum, not exceeding £1, to the company should it be wound up. The governing document is the Articles of Association. 

## Appointment of Trustees 

The appointment of Trustees is governed by the Articles of Association of the company. The number of trustees must consist of at least two but no more than ten individuals. All appointments must be approved in writing by a duly authorised officer of the University of California. 

The Trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law who served during the year were: 

Mr. B.B. Barber Mr. D.M. Helson Ms. H.R. Kopeck Ms. D.L. Miller Mr. G.A. O’Neill Mr. S.P. White Ms. R.C. Duci Mr. C.C. Yen 

None of the Trustees had any beneficial interest in the company during the year. The day-to-day management of the Trust has been delegated by the Trustees to Matthew Daines until March 20[th] , 2023 and then delegated to a new Executive Director named Greta Paa-Kerner. 

## Trustee induction and training 

The trustees assess the need to provide training to new trustees on an individual basis. Trustees are sent information on an on-going basis of any changes to charity regulations to ensure they are aware of the impact that this may have on their responsibilities. 

## Risk management 

The Trustees have a risk management policy that includes: 

- An on-going review of the risks the charity may face; 

- Systems and procedures to mitigate those risks; and 

- Procedures designed to minimise any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise 

The Board of Trustees is responsible for managing the risks faced by the Trust. Consideration of such risks is made on an on-going basis, and controls to mitigate such risks are also reviewed on an on-going basis. Although no formal codification of the risk management systems and procedures is in place for the Trust the Trustees are satisfied that identified risks are adequately mitigated.

## **Plans for 2023-24** 

Over the 2023/24 year the UC Trust (UK) will continue to set curiosity in motion. We will foster opportunities for innovation, research, cultural exchange, and business engagement between the UK, Europe and all 10 UC campuses. Some activities for the upcoming year include: 

Enrich the lives of alumni living in the UK & Europe: 

-  Maintain momentum with the highly engaged and well-organized UK alumni group through the Running Club, Gala Committee, Third Thirsty Thursday, and Sustainability Committee. 

-  Grow the engagement of the UK alumni network from UC campuses that are proportionally underrepresented through targeted LinkedIn and direct email outreach. 

-  Host a blend of networking, scholarly and cultural enrichment events throughout the UK and Europe. 

-  Expand the number of volunteer alumni groups throughout Europe. 

Enhance the international experience for UC students: 

-  Align activities more closely with the UK Education Abroad team to support visiting students including orientation, a welcome reception, and a program providing career advice about working abroad. 

-  Celebrate the 50th anniversary of the UC EAP program in Spain in partnership with the central UC EAP office and the UC Office of the President’s Provost. 

Promote knowledge exchange & enable innovation: 

-  Participate in the Global Challenge Lab, which is hosted by Imperial College London. This opportunity enables student entrepreneurs to work with other like-minded students globally to help tackle the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals. 

-  Support the Sustainability Committee, which is a group of alumni volunteers and UC faculty, to continue to share research, brainstorm ideas and participate in an open dialog about cross-boarder sustainability cooperation. 

-  Host networking events supporting visiting and residential UC faculty who are subject matter experts from a range of UC campuses. 

Facilitate giving back: 

-  Run a series of workshops with transnational giving partners and development offices across the UC campuses. 

-  Support the transfer of donations from across Europe to their respective campuses. Highlight these successes in Trust communications and with relevant stakeholders. 

-  Organize the 7th Annual Gala, which will be held in London on 27th April 2024, to help raise funds to support many scholarships and initiatives – including EAP, athletics, disability provision and internship funds. 

With a well-considered engagement plan, the Trust will continue to advance cultural, educational, and philanthropic opportunities and, ultimately, continue to unleash the power of curiosity for the benefit of people and planet.

## **2. Restricted Donations to University of California Trust for expenditure in the UK** 

There were no direct donations to the University of California for expenditure in the UK. 

The net unrestricted resources for the year amounted to a surplus of £63,855 leaving unrestricted retained funds at 30[th] June 2023 of £90,413 

## Investment policy 

The majority of the charity’s funds are to be spent in the short-term meeting the Trust’s objectives rather than for long term investment. The Articles of Association authorises the Trustees to make and hold investments using the general funds of the charity. 

## Reserves policy 

The trustees have established the level of reserves that the charity must maintain. The Trustees are aware of the negative reserve balance and are working towards changing this balance to a positive one. All funds received are currently used to achieve the objectives of the charity. Any surplus funds are used for the same purpose and at present the Trustees do not have a formal reserves policy. Over time the Trustees hope to invest surplus funds into other sources to generate further investment returns. 

## Tax status 

The company has charitable status and is exempt from corporation tax on income arising from its activities.

**UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA TRUST (UK) (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023** 

**________________________________________________________________________________________** 

## **Independent auditor’s report to the members of University of California Trust (UK)** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of University of California Trust (UK) (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 30 June 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement 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, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 30 June 2023, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, 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 Companies Act 2006. 

## **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 Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company 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 charitable company'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 other information comprises the information included in the trustees annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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. 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 course of 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. 

12 



## **UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA TRUST (UK) (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023** 

## **Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006** 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 

- the information given in the trustees' report (incorporating the directors’ report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- the directors’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

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

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report. 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

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

- certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit **;** or 

- the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies’ regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the directors’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report **.** 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law)  are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they 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 charitable company’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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

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 an auditor’s report 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, including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

- Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims as well as actual, suspected and alleged fraud; 

- Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; 

- Assessing the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations considered to have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company through enquiry and inspection; 

- Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations; 

13 



## **UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA TRUST (UK) (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)** 

## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023** 

- Performing audit work over the risk of management bias and override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for indicators of potential bias. 

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation.  This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. 

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/Our-Work/Audit/Audit-and-assurance/Standards-and-guidance/Standardsand-guidance-for-auditors/Auditors-responsibilities-for-audit/Description-of-auditorsresponsibilities-for-audit.aspx. 

This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

**UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA TRUST (UK) (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023** 

**_____________________________________________________________________________________** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key source of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: 

## **(a) General Information** 

The University of California Trust (UK) Limited is a registered charity no 1075405. It meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). The charity operates from Unit 25A, De Beauvoir Block, 92-96 De Beauvoir Road, London, N1 4EN. 

## **(b) Basis of Accounting** 

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 UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 (as updated through Update Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015. 

University of California Trust (UK) Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the   charity. 

The level of round adopted in the financial statements is to the nearest £1. 

## **(c) Legal status** 

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The liability of each member in the event of winding up is limited to £1. 

## **(d) Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis** 

As a satellite office of the University of California, the Trust has reasonable expectation that there are adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future even in the event of the accounts showing a deficit and/or negative balance sheet. It has therefore continued to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has been taken into consideration when performing the going concern assessment

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023** 

**_____________________________________________________________________________________** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 

## **(e) Income** 

All income resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the income will be received. 

Income from charitable activities included grant income, other income and rent income. The grant income is expensed on the two main activities of the charity being donations to University of California and the awards of scholarships and grants to students. Other income and rent income are re-charges to related parties. This is disclosed in the financial statements. 

## **(f) Expenditure** 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under heading that aggregate all the costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probably that the settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings: 

Expenditure on charitable activities includes donations to various campuses of the University of California. Support costs are indirect costs incurred in supporting the charitable activities and are allocated to charitable activities as disclosed in the notes. Fundraising costs are costs incurred during fundraising activities and includes costs for organising receptions and events. Governance costs comprise the expenditure incurred for the management of the charity and the compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. 

The Charitable Company is no longer VAT registered. Expenditure includes VAT. 

## **(g) Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life as follows: 

Computer equipment - 33.33% straight line Fixtures, fitting and equipment - 25% reducing balance basis 

The trustees carry out an annual impairment review of the value of fixed assets to determine whether any adjustment to the value of the assets is required. The company has a specific policy regarding capitalisation of expenditure based on amounts incurred and no amounts under £1,000 are capitalised. 

## **(h) Taxation** 

The charitable company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part II Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023** 

**_____________________________________________________________________________________** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 

## **(i) Pensions** 

The Charity contributes to a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Charity in independently administered funds. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the Charity to the scheme. 

## **(j) Operating Leases** 

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight-line basis. 

## **(k) Fund accounting** 

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

Unrestricted general funds - these are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees. 

## **(l) Debtors** 

Trade debtors and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid. 

## **(m) Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less. 

## **(n) Creditors** 

Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. 

Accruals and other creditors are recognised at their settlement amount due. 

## **(o) Financial instruments** 

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. 

## **(p) Foreign currency** 

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction. All exchange differences are reflected in the Statement of Financial Activities.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023** 

**_____________________________________________________________________________________** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 

## **(q) Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

Accounting 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 following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have been made in the process of applying the above accounting policies that have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements: 

## _Useful economic lives of tangible assets_ 

The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. See note 8 for the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment, and note j for the useful economic lives for each class of assets. 

There are no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
