The property and assets of the iwo first-named societies were held by the London Missionary Society Corporation and Colonial Missionary Society Corporation which remain as dormant cotnpanies controlled by the Charity, With the birth of CWM, a new ideology and understanding of doing God's mission was etnbraced, which saw a movement from the donor-recipient model of missK>n, embedded in the colonial approach, to a joint ownership and mutual sharing ol resources of people, ideas and money- grounded in the biblical principle of giving and receiving. Accordingly, the Charity was set up as a wortdwide community of Christian denominations working as equal partners with a common commitment lo the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The long-lerm targèt rem8in8 to achieve a 5 % real return on the investment portfolio but. reco9nising actL¢al performance in the recent past, operational budgets in recent years have assumed a conservative 3°k real return in an average year, The Charity's Ethical Investment Policy that was approved by the Board in Feb 2021, on the advice of the Investment and Finance Committees. broadened the scope and tightened the criteria of ils previous policy. The core ol this policy is as follows.. 11 } As a Christian oryanisalion, CWM believes in acting in a socially responsible manner with respect to ils investment portfolio. This means that, wherever feasible, CWM selects managers who employ ethical screens lo exclude investments in industries dealing with alcohol, tobacco, weapons, adult entertainment, and gambling, and examines companies for their impact on climate change and the environment and any exploitation of labour. .(21 The threshold for determining whether a company falls within the prohibited categories in paragraph 1 above will be that CWM will not invest in a company that derives 5 /0 or more of its lumover from alcohol products, or 30h or more of ils turnover from any of the other foltr prohibited industries. {31 CVVM will also seek lo pursue ils ethical commitments by engaging with those companies in which il hold5 nvestments. 141 CWM will be open lo investing a share of its capital in investments that are designed lo bring a social more than a fin8ncial return. Any such investments will be sregated from investments where financial return is the princip81 purpose. 14
COUNCIL FOR WORLD MISSION (UK) TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 Investment Policy (continued) The main investment poTlfolio, managed by the Investment Committee and coordinated by professional fund managers, 18 centered around four major investment themes that are deemed suitable for CWM.. the growth engine Idevelowd market and emerging market equiliesl, diversifiers, inflalion-sensilThie (commodities, properly, inflalion-linked bonds) and deflation hedging Igovernmenl bonds).

Reserves Pollcy The unrestricted funds of CWM UK are predominantly made up of ils invested capital base from which the mission activities of the Group are funded. CVW intends to use this invested capital base lo secure the long- term future of CWM'S activities around the world. Ils Reserves Policy is, therefore. lo maintain, when measured on average over a period of years in real terms, al least the base level of the unreslricled reserves in perpetuity. This would imply reserves largel at the end of 2021 of around £170m, using the UK Consumer Price Index as a measure of inflation. The unreslricled funds balance at the close of the financial year was £185.gm.

Auditor's responslbllilies 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 misstalèmenl, whether due lo fraud or error. and lo issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will aayS delecl a material misslatemenl when it exists.

COUNCIL FOR WORLD MISSION (UK) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our respDnsibililies, outlined above, to delect material misslalements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent lo which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below,. Obtaining ark understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the entity operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the financial $18tements' Enquiry ol management and those charged with governance to identify any instances of known or suspected instances of fraud., Enquiry of Inanagement and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims., Enquiry of management about any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations,.

Evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business.. Reviewing accounting eslimale5 for bias,, Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance- Reviewing financial statement disclosures and lests'ng to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Enquiries made of the group auditors of the parent charity. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk thatwe will not delecl all irregularitles, including those leading lo a material misstalemenl 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 slalements, as we will be less likely lo 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.
