**The Arts University Bournemouth Charitable Foundation   Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 July 2022 (Company Number 05367067, Charity Number 1109648)** 

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

## **Report of the trustees for the year ended 31 July 2022** 

The trustees (who are also directors for the purposes of the Companies Act) present their report along with the financial statements of the charity for the year 1 August 2021 to 31 July 2022.  The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities 2019 and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards (FRS 102).  The accounting policies set out on pages 11-12 also comply with the charity’s constitution and the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The Foundation was incorporated as a company limited by guarantee (Company number 5367067) on 16 February 2005 and became a registered charity on 24 May 2005 (Charity number 1109648).  The Foundation’s governing document is the memorandum and articles of association. 

The day-to-day affairs of the charity are looked after by Mary O’Sullivan, the Director of Finance at the Arts University Bournemouth. 

The power to appoint additional trustees is vested in the current trustees and should new trustees be appointed one of the existing trustees would take responsibility for their induction. 

Other than the Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the Arts University Bournemouth each trustee is appointed for a maximum term of three years after which period they may put themselves forward for re-appointment. 

The trustees’ hold at least two meetings per year and at these meetings the trustees agree the broad strategy and areas of activity for the Trust, including consideration of grant making, fund raising, investment, reserves and risk management policies and performance. 

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year. 

## **Trustee Training** 

All new trustees are briefed and made aware of their responsibilities by the charity’s secretary.  Guidance documentation issued by the Charities Commission is circulated to trustees. 

At trustee meetings presentations are arranged to inform the operation of the trust e.g. developments in terms of fund raising and appraisal of the investment markets. 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces and confirms that systems have been established to enable regular reports to be produced so that any necessary steps can be taken to lessen these risks. 

The trustees consider variability of investment returns on the permanent endowment to constitute the charity’s major risk.  In order to mitigate this risk, the trustees consider reports prepared by the investment managers twice yearly and question investment decisions.  Annual grants awarded can be adjusted to ensure that the unrestricted funds capital is preserved. 

## **Public Benefit** 

## Objectives and activities 

The objects of the Trust are the advancement of education principally, but not exclusively, within the subject areas of art, design, media and performing arts and such other purposes as the Trustees see fit.  The beneficiaries are students of Arts University Bournemouth. 

## Grant making policy 

The charity awards grants to students attending the Arts University Bournemouth.  The grants benefit the students by enabling them to produce enhanced works of art which will provide them with long term advantages in terms of their portfolios.  The grants are awarded competitively which ensures that a high standard is achieved in respect of all students’ work.  Further grants have been made to facilitate international exchanges by contributing towards travel costs. 

In addition, the charity supports the development of educational facilities by the Arts University Bournemouth which provide students with access to state-of-the-art buildings and equipment. 

## Achievements and Performance 

During the period only one travel grant was awarded due to the pandemic and the inability of students to travel.  A total grant £8,670 was awarded to enhance the learning experience on the MA and BA Costume courses at the Arts University Bournemouth which are attended by almost 250 students. 

At the University’s graduation in July the Charitable Foundation awarded prizes to 40 individuals totalling £11,450

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (continued)** 

## **Financial Review** 

Income of £27,436 (2021: £42,547) was generated in the period to fund its charitable activities.  Direct charitable expenditure of £26,086 (2021: £27,184) was made in the form of student course prizes, support with developing the University’s drawing provision, and the governance costs of the Charitable Foundation. 

At present the charity has adopted a medium risk investment strategy to protect, in absolute terms, the capital value of the fund and has invested its funds in a combination of high interest yielding accounts and capital growth equity trusts.  Investment income has totalled £9,786 (2021: £10,592) during the period. 

The impact of COVID-19 on the results of the Charity has been limited as much of the grant activity had taken place during the lockdown and student awards were made online. 

## **Going Concern** 

The Trustees acknowledge that the continuing levels of uncertainty as a result of the pandemic, the war in Ukraine and UK political turbulence mean that the judgements and estimates made in the operation of budgets and forecasts are more challenging than under normal circumstances. 

Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in Note 1 to the financial statements. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The trustees seek to maintain a capital element of free reserves of at least £500,000 of the funds to ensure that through investment, sufficient income is generated and the capital amount enhanced so that future returns in real terms will be maintained.  The trustees wish to increase this level of reserves through fund raising with the long-term aim of having endowments sufficiently large to fund the charity’s objectives on a sustainable basis. 

Reserves currently stand at £706,068 with a decrease in 2021/22 due to a loss of £30,300 on investments which in part is due to the turbulence in UK politics and the war in Ukraine. 

## **Plans for the Future** 

The trustees intend to focus on raising funds for the redevelopment of the Palace Court Theatre, a 1930’s theatre in the centre of Bournemouth, which will provide facilities for students on several of the University’s performance courses and will also serve as a flexible venue for the wider community. 

The Foundation will continue to provide grants and prizes to Arts Bournemouth University students as in previous years. 

## **Auditor** 

During the year KPMG LLP resigned as the Company’s auditor and Sedulo Audit Limited was appointed in its place. 

The trustees have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any information needed by the company’s auditor for the purposes of their audit and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.  The trustees are not aware of any relevant audit information of which the auditor is unaware.

## **STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE ARTS UNIVERSITY BOURNEMOUTH CHARITABLE FOUNDATION IN RESPECT OF THE TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT AND THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year.  Under that law they are required to prepare the financial statements in accordance with UK Accounting Standards and applicable law (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 _The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland_ . 

Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the income and expenditure for that period.  In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and the Statement of Recommended Practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- assess the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern; and 

- use the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.  They are responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the charitable company and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

**The Arts University Bournemouth Charitable Foundation   Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 July 2022 (Company Number 05367067, Charity Number 1109648)** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE ARTS UNIVERSITY BOURNEMOUTH CHARITABLE FOUNDATION** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Arts University Bournemouth Charitable Foundation (“the  charitable company”) for the year ended 31 July 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities (including Income & Expenditure Account), Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows, and related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 July 2022 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 UK accounting standards, including FRS 102 _The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland;_ 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 Auditors' 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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Report of the Trustees, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. 

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. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 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. 

## **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 Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE ARTS UNIVERSITY BOURNEMOUTH CHARITABLE FOUNDATION (continued)** 

## **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 Report of the Trustees. 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where 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 trustees' 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' exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities set out on page 4, the trustees 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 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. 

## **Auditors' 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 a Report of the Auditors 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. 

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

## **Extent to which the audit was capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud** 

The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with trustees and management, and we cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations. 

We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our knowledge of the business and sector, enquiries of trustees and management, and review of regulatory information and correspondence. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. 

We discussed with trustees and management the policies and procedures in place to ensure compliance with laws and regulations and otherwise prevent, deter and detect fraud. 

Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations identified as potentially having a material effect on the financial statements. Our procedures included review of financial statement information and testing of that information, enquiry of management and examination of relevant documentation, analytical procedures to identify unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate fraud, and procedures to address the risk of fraud through trustee or management override of controls. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors.

**The Arts University Bournemouth Charitable Foundation   Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 July 2022 (Company Number 05367067, Charity Number 1109648)** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022** 

## **1. Statement of Principal Accounting Policies** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

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) (effective January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006. 

In preparing the financial statements and the continued use of the going concern assumption, the Trustees have considered the expected financial performance for the financial year ending 31 July 2023, taking into account the continued volatility in the equity markets as a result of the pandemic, the war in Ukraine and UK political turbulence, resulting in higher interest rates and its consequent impact on investment returns but also the company’s ability to adjust awards as deemed necessary. 

After considering the above factors, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has sufficient access to adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and for at least the period of twelve months following the date of approval of the financial statements. The Trustees therefore consider it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern principle in preparing the financial statements. 

## **Income** 

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

## **Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objectives of the Trust.  The grants are accounted for where either the trustees have agreed to pay the grant without condition and the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant, or any condition attaching to the grant is outside the control of the Trust. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. 

## **Staff Costs** 

There are no staff costs incurred by the charity.  All staff costs associated with the administration of grants are borne by the Arts University Bournemouth. 

## **Investments** 

Endowment Asset Investments are included at current market values.  All other investments are included at the lower of cost and net realisable value. 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash includes cash in hand, deposits repayable on demand and overdrafts. Deposits are repayable on demand if they are in practice available within 24 hours without penalty.  Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value. 

## **Debtors** 

Debtors are recognised at the amount that the trustees anticipate is recoverable or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. 

## **Liabilities** 

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the trustees anticipate it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. 

## **Related party transactions and trustees’ remuneration** 

Trustees received no emoluments, nor reimbursement of any expenses in the period. 

## **Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement** 

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. 

## _Critical accounting estimates and assumptions_ 

The trustees do not consider there are any critical accounting estimates or assumptions requiring disclosure. 

## _Critical areas of judgement_ 

The trustees do not consider there are any other critical judgements or sources of estimation uncertainty requiring disclosure.
