THE JOHN R. MURRAY CHARITABLE TRUST FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

The trustees have pleasure in presenting their annual report for the purposes of the Charities Act 2011, together with the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.

STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The John R. Murray Charitable Trust is a registered charity constituted under a Declaration of Trust dated 16 July 2003 and is registered with the Charity Commission (no. 1100199).

It is controlled by a board of trustees who manage all aspects of the Trust’s affairs and in whom vests the power to appoint new trustees.

Any new trustees will be provided with copies of the Charity Commission’s guidance to trustees and given an introduction to the activities of the charity by the existing board. Existing trustees are provided with training as and when required.

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those relating to the performance of investment markets. The trustees believe that by delegating investment management to recognised charity investment professionals and monitoring their performance, and by ensuring controls exist over key areas of the charity’s activity, they have established effective systems to mitigate those risks.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The charity’s objects provide that:

“The trustees shall pay or apply the income of the trust fund and may also transfer, pay or apply the whole or any part or parts of the capital of the trust fund to such charities or for such charitable purposes as the trustees shall from time to time in their absolute uncontrolled discretion think fit.”

In considering how best to achieve these objects the trustees have had regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.

The trustees continue to make grants in support of charitable organisations in furtherance of the charity’s objects for the public benefit.

In the medium term the trustees’ principal aim will be the continued support of the National Library of Scotland (as the owner of the John Murray Archive) and its curatorial and preservation responsibilities for the Archive as well as developing the Trust’s support of the arts and in particular literature.

Grant making policy

The trustees will not consider unsolicited applications for grants. The trustees will normally only make grants or loans to other registered charities in areas in which the trustees have an interest in the arts and literature (although not strictly limited to such areas) and where the award of a grant will have an immediate and tangible benefit to the recipient charity in question. The scope of their giving is determined only by the extent of their resources; it is not otherwise restricted either geographically or by the type of activity carried on by prospective beneficiaries or applicants.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

During the course of the year the Trust made 110 (2020: 105) grants totalling £2,639,300 (2020: £1,083,282) and wrote back one grant amounting to £20,000, in the comparative year, as set out in note 4 to these accounts.

The trustees are satisfied with the investment performance of the funds held within the Charitable Trust for the year ended 31 December 2021 and continue to monitor the performance of investment managers throughout the financial year against a benchmark of inflation plus 4%.

FUNDRAISING STANDARDS INFORMATION

The charity does not solicit funds from the general public nor does it engage any third parties to act on its behalf in raising funds for the charity. As such the charity is not bound by any scheme for regulating fundraising.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

THE JOHN R. MURRAY CHARITABLE TRUST

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

Independent auditor’s report to the trustees of The John R. Murray Charitable Trust

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The John R. Murray Charitable Trust (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows 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:

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 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 other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the trustees’ 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

Page 4

THE JOHN R. MURRAY CHARITABLE TRUST FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

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

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 3, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of 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.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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.

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 extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

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/Standards-and-guidancefor-auditors/Auditors-responsibilities-for-audit/Description-of-auditors-responsibilities-for-audit.aspx. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

THE JOHN R. MURRAY CHARITABLE TRUST

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General information, scope and basis of the financial statements

The John R. Murray Charitable Trust is an unincorporated charity governed by a scheme. The address of the principal office is given in the reference and administrative details section and the nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are given in the trustees' report.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

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 presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

Incoming resources

All incoming 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.

Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as shares and property. It includes dividends, interest and rent. Where it is not practicable to identify investment management costs incurred within a scheme with reasonable accuracy the investment income is reported net of these costs. It is included when the amount can be measured reliably. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend and rent income is recognised as the charity’s right to receive payment is established.

Resources expended

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

Grants payable to third parties are within the charitable objectives. Where unconditional grants are offered, this is accrued as soon as the recipient is notified of the grant, as this gives rise to a reasonable expectation that the recipient will receive the grants. Where grants are conditional relating to performance then the grant is only accrued when any unfulfilled conditions are outside of the control of the charity.

Support and governance costs allocation

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs and governance costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity.

The analysis of these costs is included in note 3.

Governance costs

Governance costs comprise the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity and include audit fees, costs associated with constitutional and statutory requirements and any costs associated with the strategic as opposed to the day to day management of the charity's assets.

Tax

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in sections 521 to 536 Income Tax Act 2007 (ITA 2007), as such no income tax is payable on the charity's activities.

THE JOHN R. MURRAY CHARITABLE TRUST

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.

Fixed assets are comprised of some frames and photographs which are stated at cost and are not depreciated as they have exceptionally long economic useful lives and accumulated depreciation is not considered to be material. They are assessed for impairment annually by the trustees.

Fixed asset investments

Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with changes recognised in ‘net gains / (losses) on investments’ in the SoFA if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably.

Debtors receivable and creditors payable within one year

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash at bank and in hand and cash balances within the investment portfolio available for investment transaction purposes.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Endowment funds represent those assets which must be held permanently by the charity, principally held as fixed asset investments. Income arising on the endowment funds can be used in accordance with the objects of the charity and is included as unrestricted income. Any capital gains or losses arising on the investments form part of the fund. Investment management charges and legal advice relating to the fund are charged against the fund. The trustees may, at their discretion, transfer to unrestricted funds amounts in order that they may be expended in furtherance of the charity's objectives. Under the terms of the Declaration of Trust, the trustees may, for a period of 21 years from the date of that declaration, accumulate income as part of the expendable endowment fund.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
