The Goodman Foundation
Trustees’ report (continued)
Grant making policy
The decision to award grants to charitable organisations is made by the Trustees during meetings of the Trustees or delegated, from time to time, to the Chairman, one other Trustee and the secretary to the Trust. All decisions regarding grants made are reported at the ordinary meetings of the Trustees. Grants are made to those charities or organisations which are considered most appropriate in the furtherance of the objectives of the Trust.
Achievements and performance
During the period since the Trust’s establishment, it has received contributions and made donations to charitable bodies in furtherance of the objectives of the Trust. In total 31 grants were made during the year ended 31 March 2022. These are analysed in note 7 to the financial statements.
The Trust has been funded by generous donations required to be held and invested as expendable endowments. Accordingly, whilst Trustees have absolute discretion in relation to the Trust’s grant giving activities, it is the Trustees policy that, other than in exceptional circumstances, to limit the amount of grant giving in any year to the income from the endowment funds so as to preserve the capital and ensure that the Trust can continue its work over the longer term.
All grants must be in line with the objectives of the Trust.
Plans for future periods
It is the Trustee’s intention to invest and grow its endowment funds prudently, in accordance with the Trust’s investment policy, to enable the Trust to make annual grants in accordance with its grant making policy over the long term.
Financial review
Net income for the group for the year, after expenditure of £4,873,312 ( 2021: £1,470,853 ), was £6,487,691 (2021: £4,882,527 ).
Fund balances at the year end were £84,743,550 of which:

The Goodman Foundation
Trustees' report (continued)
Reserves policy
The Trust was established to generate income to support its objectives.
Funds are invested to generate income for distribution and free reserves are held in interest bearing deposit accounts such that they are freely available for distribution as the need arises. Running costs of the Trust are minimal and as such all Income is available for distribution to worthy causes. However, Trustees will not want to be forced into making donations simply because income arises, nor to be unable to aid worthy causes in the event that investment returns are disappointing. In addition, Trustees will want to be In a position to react quickly to support appropriate causes in exceptional circumstances. Experience has shown that the process of investment is volatile, both from the perspective of the certainty of Income and the ability to preserve the value of the underlying capital base. Finally, Trustees recognise a need to hold reserves representing a reasonable allocation for contingencies.
Having regard to these matters, the Truste s policy is to set aside as reserves the greater of two year's planned giving, or E3m.
The Trustees periodically review the level of reserves retained in endowment funds. The Trustees retain these reserves to the extent considered necessary to ensure that adequate funds are generated and available to cover future donations to charitable causes.
Investment policy
The objective of the policy is to invest prudently so as to enable the Trust to carry out Its Objects continuously from year to year with due and proper consideratlon for future needs and to maintain and grow the Trust's investable funds in line with inflation. Our investment advisors are instructed to invest to maximise the total return on endowment funds within the constraints of a medium to low risk investment portfolio.
Disclosure of Information to auditor
The Trustees who held office at the date of approval of this Truste s' report confinm that, so far as they are each aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Trust's auditor is unaware; and each Trustee has taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as a Trustee to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Trust's auditor is aware of that information.

In preparing these financial statements, generally accepted accounting practice entails that the Trustees:

state whether the financial statements comply with the Trust deed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
assess the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern; and

Independent auditor’s report to the Trustees of The Goodman Foundation
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Goodman Foundation for the year ended 31 March 2022 set out on pages 12 to 30, which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Trust Balance Sheet, Consolidated Cashflow Statement and related notes, including the summary of significant accounting policies set out in note 1.
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and the Trust’s affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of the group’s incoming resources and application of resources including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with UK accounting standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland ; and
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (“ISAs (UK)”) and applicable law. Our responsibilities are described below. We have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities under, and are independent of the group in accordance with, UK ethical requirements including the FRC Ethical Standard. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is a sufficient and appropriate basis for our opinion.
Going concern
The Trustees have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the group or to cease its operations. The Trustees have concluded that the group’s financial position means that this basis is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements (“the going concern period”).
We are required to report to you if we have concluded that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is inappropriate or there is an undisclosed material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt over the use of that basis for a period of at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In our evaluation of the Trustees’ conclusions, we considered the inherent risks to the group’s business model, including the impact of Brexit, and analysed how those risks might affect the group’s financial resources or ability to continue operations over the going concern period. We have nothing to report in these respects.
However, as we cannot predict all future events or conditions and as subsequent events may result in outcomes that are inconsistent with judgements that were reasonable at the time they were made, the absence of reference to a material uncertainty in this auditor's report is not a guarantee that the group will continue in operation.

Independent auditor’s report to the Trustees of The Goodman Foundation (continued)
Detecting irregularities including fraud
We identified the areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements and risks of material misstatement due to fraud, using our understanding of the group’s industry, regulatory environment and other external factors and inquiry with the Trustees. In addition, our risk assessment procedures included: inquiring with the Trustees as to the group’s policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations and prevention and detection of fraud; inquiring whether the Trustees have knowledge of any actual or suspected noncompliance with laws or regulations or alleged fraud; inspecting the group’s regulatory and legal correspondence; and reading Board minutes.
We discussed identified laws and regulations, fraud risk factors and the need to remain alert among the audit team.
The group is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including charites, and financial reporting legislation. We assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items, including assessing the financial statement disclosures and agreeing them to supporting documentation when necessary.
The group is subject to many other laws and regulations where the consequences of non-compliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance through the imposition of fines or litigation. We identified the following areas as those most likely to have such an effect: health and safety, anti-bribery, employment law, environmental law.
Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these non-direct laws and regulations to inquiry of the Trustees and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. These limited procedures did not identify actual or suspected non-compliance.
We assessed events or conditions that could indicate an incentive or pressure to commit fraud or provide an opportunity to commit fraud. As required by auditing standards, we performed procedures to address the risk of management override of controls. We did not identify any additional fraud risks.
In response to risk of fraud, we also performed procedures including: evaluating the business purpose of significant unusual transactions; assessing significant accounting estimates for bias; and assessing the disclosures in the financial statements.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed noncompliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it.
In addition, as with any audit, there remains a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

Independent auditor’s report to the Trustees of The Goodman Foundation (continued)
Other information
The Trustees are responsible for the other information, which comprises the Trustees’ Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or, except as explicitly stated below, any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether, based on our financial statements audit work, the information therein is materially misstated or inconsistent with the financial statements or our audit knowledge. We are required to report to you if:
-
based solely on that work, we have identified material misstatements in the other information; or
-
in our opinion, the information given in the Trustees’ Annual Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements.
We have nothing to report in these respects.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
Under the Charities Act 2011 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the group has not kept sufficient accounting records; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
We have nothing to report in these respects.
Trustees’ responsibilities
As explained more fully in their statement set out on page 7, the Trustees are responsible for: the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view; such internal controls as they determine are necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; assessing the group’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 they either intend to liquidate the group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities
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 our opinion in an auditor’s report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but does not 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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
A fuller description of our responsibilities is provided on the FRC’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.

Independent auditor’s report to the Trustees of The Goodman Foundation (continued)
The purpose of our audit work and to whom we owe our responsibilities
This report is made solely to the group’s Trustees as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (or its predecessors) and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the group’s Trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the group and its Trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes
forming part of the financial statements
1 Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
Basis of preparation
The Trust is a charity registered in England and Wales and is governed by a Deed of Trust executed on 14 March 2003. The Trust’s objectives and activities are included in the Trustees report and charity information on page 1.
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of investment properties and quoted investments to fair value, and in accordance with applicable accounting standards in the United Kingdom, the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities’ and Financial Reporting Standard (FRS) 102, together with the reporting requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
The accounting policies set out below have, unless otherwise stated, been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements.
Estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying accounting policies. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated by the Trustees based on historical experience and other factors including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances. The most significant estimates and judgements relate to the market value of investments properties.
Basis of consolidation
The group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the Trust and its subsidiary undertaking Bromstead Farms Limited for the year ended 31 March 2022.
Going concern
In determining the appropriate basis of preparation of the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022, the Trustees are required to consider whether the Trust can continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
As of 31 March 2022, the Group had total endowment funds of £83,145,765 (2021: £73,645,765) and unrestricted funds of £1,597,785 ( 2021: £2,296,188 ). Having undertaken a detailed review of future anticipated donations and expenditure, and by reference to the Trust’s policies on grant making and reserves, the Trustees are satisfied that the Trust has adequate resources to continue its operations well into the foreseeable future.
Taxation
As a registered charity, the Trust is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities but not from VAT.
The subsidiary undertaking does not generally pay corporation tax because its policy is to Gift Aid taxable profits, to the extent that they arise, to the Trust.

Incoming resources
Voluntary income and donations are accounted for on a receipts basis.
Where the Trust receives grants to further its charitable objectives these grants are recognised when the Trust has entitlement to the resource with the timing of the expenditure being within the discretion of the Trust. Such resources are only deferred where the donor imposes specific conditions that specify the time period in which the expenditure of the resources can take place.
Expendable endowments received in the period have been disclosed as such.
The value of voluntary work is not included in the financial statements.
Income from trading activities
Income from trading activities is credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when received or receivable whichever is earlier, unless it relates to a specific future period, in which case it is deferred.
Resources expended
Cost of generating funds
These are the costs which are associated with generating incoming resources from all sources other than from undertaking charitable activities. This includes costs of generating voluntary income and costs relating to fundraising trading.
Charitable activities
Grant expenditure is recognised when funds are transferred to charitable organisations in furtherance of the objects of the Trust. These transfers are tightly controlled through the charities grant-making policy.
Associated support and partner development costs are allocated on a total cost basis and exclude fundraising and governance costs.
Governance costs
These are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the Trust as opposed to those costs associated with fundraising or charitable activities. Governance costs include audit and legal advisory fees.
Endowment funds
Much of the Foundation’s funds have been provided as expendable endowments. Such funds are invested to generate income to enable the Trust to continue its work over the long term. Only in exceptional circumstances can endowment funds be used to fund grant giving.
Unrestricted funds
Funds which are expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in the furtherance of the objects of the Charity are classified as unrestricted funds.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets, with the exception of land, are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Land is not depreciated. Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of assets over their expected useful lives on a straight-line basis as follows:
Buildings 20 - 50 years Plant and equipment 5 - 30 years
Assets under construction are recognised at cost and are transferred to property, plant and equipment when they are available for use. These assets are not depreciated until they are available for use.
Investments
Listed investments are included on the balance sheet at fair value which is their closing bid price on the current or previous trading day.
Unlisted investments are included on the balance sheet at their fair value. Investments in subsidiaries are recorded at cost in the Trust’s Balance Sheet.
Realised gains and losses on disposals in the year and unrealised gains and losses on investments at the balance sheet date are included in the statement of financial activities for the relevant underlying funds. All investment income is treated as unrestricted.
Investment properties
Investment properties are properties which are held to earn rental income, for capital appreciation or for both. Investment properties are recognised initially at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition investment properties, whose fair value can be measured reliably without undue cost or effort, are held at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value are recognised in the statement of financial activities in the period that they arise.
Financial instruments
The Trust has applied the provisions of FRS 102, Section 11, ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12, ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’. Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the Charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Charity initially recognises a financial asset or a financial liability at transaction price, for debtors and other creditors this is the settlement amount. Grant commitments over one year are discounted to reflect present value.
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value on a first in, first out basis. Cost is determined by reference to purchase price together with all production related costs incurred in bringing the product to its present location and condition. Net realisable value comprises the actual or expected selling price less all costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution. Provision is made where necessary for obsolete and slow-moving stock.

Debtors and creditors
Trade debtors and other debtors are recognised at their transaction price less any allowance for doubtful debts. Liabilities are recognised when, as a result of past events, there is a probable future outflow of resources, and the amount can be estimated reliably. Trade creditors and other creditors are included at their nominal value.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits.
Foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded using the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date and the gains or losses on translation are included in the statement of financial activities.
2 Donations and legacies
Donations comprise endowment income and other donations and legacies:

Other donations represent income received which is available to the Trustees to fund its grantmaking programme.

The Trustees have considered the carrying value of investment properties at year end and consider that their carrying value reflects their current market value. In arriving at this conclusion, the directors have taken advice from qualified valuers.
The Trustees obtained an independent professional valuation for one of its investment properties as at March 2022. The valuation was carried out by Colliers. The valuation was prepared by considering market evidence and the capitalised value of the projected rental income receivable from the property. The capitalised value of future rental income is based off a yield that is informed by the implied investment yield from recent transactions of similar properties in the market. In the opinion of the valuer, the market value of the property as at March 2022 was £3,900,292. As a result the Trustees have concluded that it is appropriate to keep the property at its opening carrying value.
