SOCIAL INVESTMENT BUSINESS FOUNDATION REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The Board of Trustees of Social Investment Business Foundation (SIBF) present their report together with the audited financial statements for the Group for the year ended 31 March 2022, in accordance with the Company's governing documents. These statements have been prepared under the Guidelines in the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice, 2019 (Charities SORP) 2nd Edition, and with the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees are also Directors of SIBF for the purposes of company law.
1 Objectives and Activities
The objects of the Charity are to promote for the public benefit all purposes as are recognised as charitable under the laws of England and Wales including but not limited to:
-
supporting community organisations in areas of social need that are charities and the charitable activities of other community organisations, including provision of advice, support and assistance and/or
-
the making and the promotion of social investments by means of loans, grants, guarantees, equity, near equity or other financial interventions or assistance to charities or for charitable purposes, including but not limited to supporting community organisations operating in areas of social need and/or
-
promoting the efficient and effective application of charitable resources by those charities and for charitable purposes by the provision of financial advice, support and related assistance to charities and for charitable projects in relation to such loans, grants, guarantees, equity, near equity or other financial interventions and social investments
SIBF is committed to helping impact-led organisations improve people’s lives. We aim to do this by:
-
investing – providing appropriate, fair and flexible finance
-
partnering – to provide grants and non-financial support through strategic partnerships
-
influencing – using our knowledge, data and experience to inform our own work and the wider sector
All our activities are underpinned by:
-
aiming to maximise the impact we can have with the resources we have
-
placing our customers at the heart of the business
Our five core values inform our relationships with the charities and social enterprises we work with and how we operate:
-
Put People First – through supporting our colleagues and our customers alike
-
Curious – through continuous learning and being open to improvement
-
Bold - through taking risks and trying new things to reach more places and people
-
Collaborative – through working successfully in partnership, internally and externally
-
Accountable – through open reporting and taking responsibility for our actions
SIBF continues to manage the Communitybuilders Fund and the Adventure Capital Fund, both of which invest in community based social enterprises. SIBF is the parent company of Social Investment Business Limited (SIB Limited), which holds and delivers fund management contracts on behalf of third parties, including Government departments, and Futurebuilders England Limited (FBE), which holds the assets of the Futurebuilders and Modernisation Funds. The Communitybuilders Fund which was endowed to SIBF in 2011 became unrestricted on 1 April 2021.
SIBF is also the parent company and sole shareholder of Forward Enterprise FM Ltd, a company limited by shares. Forward Enterprise FM Ltd (FEFM), was established in March 2018 with the sole purpose of making investments in enterprises working with or being led by ex-offenders or people in recovery from addiction and creating employment opportunities for people from these communities. During the year a decision was made to transfer the assets and liabilities of FEFM to SIBF and strike off FEFM.
SIBF is also the parent company and sole shareholder of Social Investment Business FM Ltd (SIB FM), a company limited by shares established with the sole purpose of making investments to charities and social enterprises during Covid.
3
SOCIAL INVESTMENT BUSINESS FOUNDATION REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
During the year SIBF invested £3m in Social Investment Business Loans Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary established to manage the Recovery Loan Fund (RLS); it is also a company limited by shares, with SIB Foundation its sole shareholder.
Collectively the group of companies is referred to as Social Investment Business (SIB).
SIBF continues to be a shareholder and investor in Social and Sustainable Capital LLP (0C378569) (SASC) and its funds; during the year, the SIB investment in the Community Investment Fund (CIF) was largely recovered, and therefore SIBF’s share in the LLP reduced from 29% to 14.5%.
2 The Group’s specific strategic priorities for the year 2021/22 were:
-
Listening, designing and adapting to customer demand
-
Embedding data and impact in core activities, especially decision-making
-
Grow influence with government and sector on key issues (policy makers and peers)
-
Maximise impact through focusing on the people and places most in need, post Covid
-
Ensure SIB continuity through a strong operating model and balance sheet
All underpinned by operational excellence, renewed approach to training/performance and sector leading employment practice.
This section of the report highlights the major achievements of the year helping to achieve those key priorities:
2.1 Listening, designing and adapting to customer demand
After the success of the Resilience and Recovery Loan Fund (RRLF), which made its final investments at the start of this financial year, SIB looked at the data and designed a successor fund – the Recovery Loan Fund. The team successfully raised over £21m for this fund from a wide range of investors, including social enterprise Fusion 21, the Church of England’s Archbishops’ Council, Big Society Capital and MFS Asset Management.
Analysis of data from previous funds revealed systemic underinvestment in black and minority-led organisations, so the team applied for a Flexible Finance grant from Access to lower turnover thresholds, work with specialist partners, and put grant alongside loan from the Recovery Loan Fund to address this historic exclusion.
There were also continuous improvement of systems and processes connected to the Reach Fund and the Enterprise Development Programme in this period, using a combination of data and direct customer feedback.
2.2 Embedding data and impact in core activities, especially decision-making
SIB won and delivered the first phase of the Future Camden Fund in this period, which used a data-led approach to assessment and decision-making. Data has become equally critical to the portfolio construction and management of SIB’s investment funds – with a transparent online dashboard providing accountability to wider audiences.
SIB also built on its partnership with Tortoise Media with a partnership with the Financial Times, using SIB data and analysis to assess the impact on local economies from the pandemic. This work in the mainstream media complemented more social sector-specific work like our Diversity and Resilience dashboards, both drawing on our significant datasets.
2.3 Grow influence with government and sector on key issues (policy makers and peers)
SIB has continued to host the Social Investment Forum, the Diversity Forum for Social Investment, and the Equality Impact Investing Project: all important pieces of infrastructure to help the wider landscape be as representative and as effective as possible. SIB has also successfully worked in co-ordination with sector peers to advocate for appropriate inclusion of the social sector in government guarantee schemes. SIB also contributed data and evidence to the Adebowale Commission on social investment, feeding directly into its central recommendations.

SOCIAL INVESTMENT BUSINESS FOUNDATION REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
2.4 Maximise impact through focusing on the people and places most in need, post Covid
Much of the organisation’s work in this period has been focused on the people and places most in need, and particularly those most affected by the pandemic. Work has particularly focused on black and minority-led communities: through the Future Camden Fund, Flexible Finance and the Black and Minoritised strand of the Enterprise Development Programme. SIB has worked constructively with partners Create Equity and the Ubele Initiative on these.
The Recovery Loan Fund is explicitly focused on supporting charities and social enterprises with their post-Covid recovery and development, and already has a strong portfolio, diverse in sector, geography and leadership.
SIB’s work managing the Enterprise Development Programme and Reach Fund for Access, as well as the existing grants programme for Power to Change, means that it is directly supporting and enabling activity in many of the communities that have been ‘left behind’ across England.
2.5 Ensure SIB continuity through a strong operating model and balance sheet
This financial year fell after the extraordinary year of Covid (wave 1) and the emergency responses in which SIB played a significant role, so it was primarily a year of consolidation, transition and development. Nevertheless, SIB is in a strong position for the future through:
-
effective management of historical investment funds
-
development of new investment funds with associated income streams
-
strategic partnerships with aligned partners on enterprise grants and support
-
building a highly skilled team proportionate to size and scale of responsibilities
-
exiting earlier catalytic investments to invest in future work
All of the above has been underpinned by significant progress in strengthening our operational capability, notably in finance and systems – and by the continued excellence of our People and Values team on developing training, frameworks, opportunities and support.
3 Future Developments
The Board are committed to a renewal of the strategy in 2022 which includes a focus on tackling inequality as the golden thread through all of SIB’s work.
Our mission remains to build a more resilient, diverse and distributed social economy that contributes to a more equal society.
Four key outcome areas working towards achieving our mission are:
-
Reach – we will focus on funding a more widely distributed social economy with more diverse leadership.
-
Resilience – we will focus on the social economy’s financial resilience and also its adaptation to Net Zero.
-
• Credibility – we will focus on publishing open data and working with partners to promote a credible social economy, through evidence and collaboration
-
Influence – we will focus on expanding appropriate funding from public, private and philanthropic sources of capital for charities and social enterprises
This work will continue to be underpinned by a retained focus on operational excellence:
-
Customer accessibility, efficiency and responsiveness to needs
-
Quality assured operational systems and processes that are sector-leading
-
Finance – resources being used effectively and efficiently for maximum impact
-
People are trained, talented, diverse and motivated, living our values

SOCIAL INVESTMENT BUSINESS FOUNDATION REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
4 Main Strategic Risks
SIB maintains a risk register which identifies the key strategic risks facing the organisation. This register is a working document and is discussed and reviewed at the Executive Group meetings and by both the Audit and Finance Committee and Board. The risk register is updated to reflect recent operational and financial developments, strategic objectives and changes in the external environment. Each risk together with actions that can be or are being taken in mitigation is analysed according to its perceived potential impact, likelihood of occurrence together with actions taken in mitigation.
The risk register contains four of the following main areas of concern, as follows, with associated mitigations:
-
Having a clear approach to impact and embedding it in our activity - mitigated by framework, senior oversight, internal work with teams and Committees to understand impact within the decision-making process, using common formatting, questions and metrics for all applications as well as adopting a renewed culture of continuous professional development.
-
Diversifying income to build a resilient business model and strengthen balance sheet - mitigated by successfully winning new funds including significant multi-year contracts and careful management of investments and overall balance sheet.
-
IT & business systems infrastructure - mitigated by ownership at senior level, clear strategic systems plan including migration to full cloud-based integrated solutions with multi-factor authentication and roll-out of cybersecurity, fraud and anti-money laundering training to all staff.
-
Having a highly motivated and skilled team of people collaborating across a remotely based organisation - mitigated by an updated people strategy, and revised internal communications and collaboration to embed a permanent flexible working model that helps achieve operational excellence.
Additionally, the board and senior team are monitoring the external environment closely for any specific risks either directly for SIB or the organisations it supports – this includes ongoing impact of the pandemic, the cost-of-living crisis, and the growing effects of climate change.
Trustees are satisfied that there are procedures in place commensurate with these key risks to prevent or manage their effects. These procedures include the active monitoring and updating of control systems and procedures to ensure we are managing and taking appropriate action. Where appropriate, financial provision will be made on the balance sheet, reserves set aside, or financial plans updated.
5 Going Concern
The Trustees have reviewed the forecasts for each company in the group, covering a period of 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements with concentration on the overall group position as the parent Charity (SIBF) would underwrite any losses in its subsidiaries.
Where SIB’s own funds are directly invested, SIB has continued to retain a cautious provisioning position to ensure any future risk is mitigated and continues to monitor performance at quarterly investment committee meetings.
The entities within the group, are anticipated to have sufficient cash resources for at least 12 months following the date of signing these financial statements. As a result, the Trustees have not identified any material uncertainties and therefore consider it appropriate for the accounts to be prepared on a going concern basis.
6 This year’s performance
The Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) shows that the Group’s unrestricted reserves increased by £18,083k (2021: decreased by £400k). Restricted reserves decreased by £18,670k inclusive of £534k returned from Futurebuilders to the DCMS (2021: decrease £8,128k, £7,966k returned to DCMS).
Unrestricted income, including transfers from restricted funds, increased by £16,917k to £20,718k (2021: £3,801k) inclusive of £21m released from the Community Builders Funds and the transfer out of £3m to SIB Loans’ as restricted equity. Unrestricted expenditure decreased by £916k to £3,285k (2021: £4,201k), due to increased activity in the year.
For full detail of this year’s performance by the subsidiaries see Note 25 to the Group Accounts.

SOCIAL INVESTMENT BUSINESS FOUNDATION REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
7 Reserves Policy
The Trustees have ultimate responsibility for ensuring SIBF has an effective Group Reserves Policy. The reserve policy is established to ensure that each company has adequate reserves and/or retained profits to meet the current and future needs of the business, whilst taking into consideration the requirements of the individual subsidiaries and ensuring they comply with the Charities SORP and the Companies Act 2006. The policy is reviewed each year.
The policy is to balance the goal of sustainability with the aim of being efficient as a not-for-profit organisation. Decisions on the appropriate, sustainable levels of reserves will be informed by a combination of short-term working capital requirements, projected levels of operating costs, estimates of contract exit costs and availability of funds for new business development. The reserves are to be held in cash or cash equivalent securities.
SIBF’s reserves policy stipulates that the cash and reserves position is to be sufficient to cover a minimum of 6 months operating costs and to enable SIBF to develop new initiatives in support of its charitable objects. With 6 months operating costs estimated at £1.8m, the Trustees have agreed a target reserves of £1.5m to £2.0m. At the end of the year, the Group’s free unrestricted reserves stood at £20.8m.
8 Treasury Management Policy
SIBF and the Group as a whole, operate a Treasury Management Policy, based on five key criteria of Security, Business Needs, Ethical, Influence and Returns. Applying these criteria means that investments are protected, access is facilitated, funds are used to support social or environmental benefit, and SIB builds relationships in the sector and influences banking attitudes to social enterprise.
SIBF has several bank accounts across which funds are deposited to spread risk, our policy limits a maximum of £10m in any individual bank which must ideally have a positive view to ethical investment and have a green/amber rating on the Ethical Company Index (scoring over 50%) or should have adopted the Equator Principles and be listed on the current Equator Principles Financial Institutions (EPFIs) in line with our key principle of security for our assets. These limits are regularly reviewed, having been reviewed and agreed by the Audit and Finance Committee in 2022.
We continue to hold assets on behalf of funds that are not our own. We therefore have significant amounts of money held in cash, because this money can be called upon to be disbursed or returned to its owners at short notice.
9 Structure, Governance and Management
(a) Background and Legal Structure the Group is formed as follows:

SOCIAL INVESTMENT BUSINESS FOUNDATION REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
SIB Limited has a Board comprising seven Non-Executive Directors, these govern SIBL and retain governance rights and a supervisory role over FBE. FBE's Board of Directors is the Executive Senior Management Team of SIBL.
For the Group we also ensure that governance and decision-making processes are in line with and enable us to meet contractual obligations set out in all agreements with external parties.
The Directors delegated the day-to-day management of the Group to the Executive team. The Executive team throughout the year were:
| | Nicolas Temple | Chief Executive |
|---|---|---|
| | Nishit Chikhlia | Director of Finance (from 1 July 2021) |
| | Phillip King | Interim Director of Finance (to 30 June 2021) |
| | Robert Benfield | Director of Investment |
| | Genevieve Maitland Hudson | Director of Learning & Influence |
| | Deborah Smart | Director of Grants (to 5 July 2022) |
| | Shelby Bradley | Director of People and Values |
Details of the Trustees who served during the year and to the date of signing the financial statements are shown on page 2 of this report. Five Trustees are also Directors of SIBL.
Each member agrees to contribute £1 in the event of the charity winding up. The remaining Founder Member, Locality, has the right to nominate a representative to sit on the Board of Trustees.
The Trustees are committed to ensuring that the Boards have the combination of skills necessary to support the effective provision of finance to charities and community enterprises. We will ensure that our Board of Trustees includes skills and expertise in the following areas: banking and investment, community regeneration and social enterprise, business, commercial law and financial and risk management.
(c) Public Benefit Statement
The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. We are mindful of the need to ensure that all funds and activities will deliver public benefit and help us to meet our aims and objectives and are also taking account of Charity Commission guidance around non-charitable organisations.
The Trustees have a duty to include in this Annual Report a statement on the Charity’s public benefit and demonstrate that:
-
They are clear about what benefits are generated by the activities of the Charity.
-
The benefits and beneficiaries are related and appropriate to the Charity’s objects and aims.
We have set out under ‘Objectives and Activities’ above how we deliver public benefit against our charitable objectives.
(d) Fundraising statement
Section 162a of the Charities Act 2011 requires charities to make a statement regarding fundraising activities. Although we do not undertake widespread fundraising from the general public, the legislation defines fund raising as “soliciting or otherwise procuring money or other property for charitable purposes.” Such amounts receivable are presented in our accounts as “voluntary income” and includes legacies and grants.
In relation to the above we confirm that all solicitations are managed internally, without involvement of commercial participators or professional fundraisers, or third parties. The day-to-day management of all income generation is delegated to the Executive team accountable to the Trustees.
SIBF is not bound by any undertaking to be bound by any regulatory scheme and the SIBF does not consider it necessary to comply with any voluntary code of practice.
We have received no complaints in relation to fundraising activities. Our terms of employment always require staff to behave reasonably; as we do not approach individuals for funds, we have not specified this to fundraising activities nor do we consider it necessary to design specific procedures to monitor such activities.

SOCIAL INVESTMENT BUSINESS FOUNDATION REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES
The Trustees (who are also directors of SIBF for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). 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 Group and Charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the Group 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 accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO MEMBERS OF SOCIAL INVESTMENT BUSINESS FOUNDATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Social Investment Business Foundation (the ‘parent charitable company’) and its subsidiaries (the ‘group’) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated and Company Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 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 group’s and the parent charitable company’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 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 group and parent 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 group’s or parent 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 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.
11
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO MEMBERS OF SOCIAL INVESTMENT BUSINESS FOUNDATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
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, which includes the Directors’ Report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Directors’ Report included within the Trustees’ 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 group and the parent charitable company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Directors’ Report included within the Trustees’ Report.
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 by the parent charitable company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the parent charitable company 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.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities set out on page 10, 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 group’s and parent 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 group or parent 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.
The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. The objectives of our audit are to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding compliance with laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, to perform audit procedures to help identify instances of non-compliance with other laws and regulations that may have a material effect on the financial statements, and to respond appropriately to identified or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations identified during the audit.
In relation to fraud, the objectives of our audit are to identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud, to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud through designing and implementing appropriate responses and to respond appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit.
12
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO MEMBERS OF SOCIAL INVESTMENT BUSINESS FOUNDATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
However, it is the primary responsibility of management, with the oversight of those charged with governance, to ensure that the entity's operations are conducted in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations and for the prevention and detection of fraud.
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud, the group audit engagement team:
-
obtained an understanding of the nature of the sector, including the legal and regulatory frameworks that the group and parent charitable company operates in and how the group and parent charitable company are complying with the legal and regulatory frameworks;
-
inquired of management, and those charged with governance, about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, including any known actual, suspected or alleged instances of fraud;
-
discussed matters about non-compliance with laws and regulations and how fraud might occur including assessment of how and where the financial statements may be susceptible to fraud.
As a result of these procedures we consider the most significant laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the financial statements are FRS 102, Charities SORP (FRS 102), Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 2011, the parent charitable company’s governing document, tax legislation and Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016. We performed audit procedures to detect non-compliances which may have a material impact on the financial statements which included reviewing the financial statements including the Trustees’ Report, remaining alert to new or unusual transactions which may not be in accordance with the governing documents, inspecting correspondence with local tax authorities and evaluating advice received from external advisors.
The group audit engagement team identified the risk of management override of controls as the area where the financial statements were most susceptible to material misstatement due to fraud. Audit procedures performed included but were not limited to testing manual journal entries and other adjustments, evaluating the business rationale in relation to significant, unusual transactions and transactions entered into outside the normal course of business and challenging judgments and estimates.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is provided on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at http://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members 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 charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

SOCIAL INVESTMENT BUSINESS FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
1 Significant accounting policies
(a) Reporting entity
Social Investment Business Foundation (SIBF) is a private company limited by guarantee (company number 05777484) and a registered charity (charity number 1117185), registered and domiciled in England and Wales. The principal activities of the Group are documented in the Trustees’ Report. The registered office address of SIBF and its subsidiaries is CAN Mezzanine, 7-14 Great Dover Street, London SE1 4YR.
The Group consists of the ultimate parent SIBF (the Foundation) and its subsidiaries: The Social Investment Business Limited (SIBL - 100% owned), Futurebuilders England Limited (FBE - 100% owned), Forward Enterprise FM Limited (FEFM - 100% owned), Social Investment Business FM Ltd (SIBFM – 100% owned) and Social Investments Business Loans Limited (SIB Loans – 100% owned). All subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements of SIBF. Both SIBL and FBE have traded under the name of the Social Investment Business since 28 July 2009.
The Group is authorised for the Communitybuilders Fund, Futurebuilders Fund and Modernisation Fund, and the Resilience and Recovery Loan Fund, as the fund manager, to act as the principal, therefore all transactions relating to these funds are recorded in the Statement of Financial Activities and the Balance Sheet. The Group acts as principal for the Access Reach and Access Impact Grants.
The Group is authorised by the Social Enterprise Investment Fund (SEIF), as the fund manager, to act as the agent, therefore transactions relating to this fund are not part of the financial statements of the Group. Income received for managing the fund and the cost associated with managing the fund are recorded in the financial statements. The Group acts as the agent in respect of the Centre for Social Action Fund and Big Potential (Big Lottery).
(b) Basis of preparation
These financial statements for the Group are prepared on the going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Charities Act 2011, Companies Act 2006, and applicable accounting standards in the United Kingdom. These financial statements have also been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
The Foundation constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, both the functional and presentational currency of the Group. Financial values are rounded to the nearest £’000.
The Foundation has chosen to take advantage of the exemption from disclosing the following information in its company only accounts, as permitted by the reduced disclosure regime within FRS 102:-
- Section 7 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’ – Presentation of a Statement of Cash Flows and related notes and disclosures.
The financial statements of the Foundation are consolidated in the financial statements of SIBF. The consolidated financial statements of SIBF are available from CAN Mezzanine, 7-14 Great Dover Street, London SE1 4YR.
(c) Going concern
The Trustees have reviewed the forecasts for each company in the group, covering a period of 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements with concentration on the overall group position as the parent Charity (SIBF) would underwrite any losses in its subsidiaries.
Where SIB’s own funds are directly invested, SIB has continued to retain a cautious provisioning position to ensure any future risk is mitigated and continues to monitor performance at quarterly investment committee meetings.
The entities within the group are anticipated to have sufficient cash resources for at least 12 months following the date of signing these financial statements. As a result, the Trustees have not identified any material uncertainties and therefore consider it appropriate for the accounts to be prepared on a Going Concern.
17
SOCIAL INVESTMENT BUSINESS FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
1 Significant accounting policies (continued)
(d) Basis of consolidation
The financial statements consolidate the results of the Foundation and its subsidiary undertakings on a line-by-line basis. The entities consolidated are those listed in the Note 25. All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated on consolidation. SIBF has taken advantage of the exemption in section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 not to present its own Statement of Financial Activities.
(e) Fund accounting
Restricted funds
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes either laid down by the funder or specified in each agreement for the benefit of identified beneficiaries. Expenditure incurred by the Foundation for these purposes is charged to the fund, together with a fair allocation of overheads, support costs and interest income.
Unrestricted funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use against operating costs in delivery of specific funds as stated in the service agreements in place and within the overall price therein, but at the Trustees’ discretion in how delivery is achieved within that price. Where contracts might place restrictions on any gains, any cost savings are repayable to the appropriate funder on a basis specified in the contract. Fees payable to the Group for the management of restricted funds are unrestricted and are transferred from restricted to unrestricted funds.
(f) Investment in subsidiaries
In the separate accounts of the Foundation, interests in subsidiaries and associates are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Interest in subsidiaries and associates are assessed for impairment at each reporting date. Any impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in the Statement of Financial Activities.
(g) Investment in associate – SASC
During 2013, SIBF acquired a 29% share of SASC – entitling the Group to a 51% share of all future profit distributions. The investment in this associate has been accounted for using the equity method – with the initial investment recognised at cost which is considered to be the fair value of the consideration paid by the Group. The carrying amount of the investment is increased or decreased to recognise the Group's share of the profit or loss of SASC - and this profit or loss is reflected in the Group's results for the period. During the year, SIBF’s exit of SASC's CIF reduced its share of SASC down to 14.5% this financial year.
Further details of this transaction can be seen in note 14.

1 Significant accounting policies (continued)
(h) Income
All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the Group is legally entitled, receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably, and performance related conditions are fulfilled.
Investment income, including associated tax, relating to both unrestricted and restricted funds, is recognised when receivable.
Fund management fee income is recognised when the Group is entitled to the income based on the fund management contract. Fund income in respect of investment activity, when the Group is principal, is recognised when a drawdown request is made. Investments offered to investees but not yet requested as a draw down from the Fund Authority at the Balance Sheet date are disclosed as contingent assets.
In some circumstances, the Group acts as agent with regard to the distribution certain funds, payments received in relation to these funds and subsequent disbursements to the intended recipients are excluded from the Statement of Financial Activities as the Group does not have control over the charitable application of the funds. Funds received but not disbursed at the year end are included in other creditors on the balance sheet. Details of these are disclosed within Note 27.
Grant income, where the Group operates as principal, are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of meeting any performancerelated conditions there is not unconditional entitlement to the income and its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income until the performance-related conditions are met. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Pro bono activities
Services received from professional service providers on a pro bono basis are recognised within donations at the fair value of the services provided as determined by the third parties, with an equivalent amount recognised within governance costs.
(i) Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party and on an accruals basis in the period in which they are incurred. Resources expended include attributable VAT when this cannot be recovered.
Costs incurred on charitable activities comprise all the resource applied by the Group in undertaking its charitable objectives. Expenditure is allocated between:
-
expenditure incurred directly to the fulfilment of the Foundation's objectives
-
expenditure on the governance infrastructure which allows the Foundation to operate and to generate the information required for public accountability.
Items of indirect expenditure are apportioned on an appropriate basis as follows:
-
Within governance costs, staff time is attributed on an analysis of time spent on the various activities.
-
Fund management costs and costs of generating funds are allocated as incurred and according to time spent.
-
Premises and operational costs are allocated pro rata to staff time.
Governance costs are costs incurred in connection with meetings of the Board of Trustees and Committees of the Group, fees paid to the statutory auditor, internal auditor and legal fees where they are not for services provided in relation to fund management activities. The expenditure classed as governance costs has been detailed in Note 6, and these costs have been allocated over fund management costs on the basis of staff time spent on these activities.
19
SOCIAL INVESTMENT BUSINESS FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
1 Significant accounting policies (continued)
(j) Expenditure (continued)
Support costs are functions that assist the work of the Foundation but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance and human resources. The basis on which support costs have been allocated are set out in Note 7.
Funds to be returned for recycling are recognised only when their return is formally notified, or requested, by the funder.
Grant expenditure is recognised at the point where the Group has a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment, the grant has been approved and communicated to the recipient. Loan offers communicated are recognised as a financial investment in the Balance Sheet only once a disbursement has been made to the investees.
(k) Employee benefits
The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets. The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
(l) Defined contribution pension schemes
The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions to the pension scheme are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Financial Activities as incurred. Differences between contributions payable in the year and contributions actually paid are shown as either accruals or prepayments.
(m) Operating leases
Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.
(n) Taxation
Corporation tax expense comprises both current tax and deferred tax and is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by balance sheet date.
Current tax is the amount of corporation tax payable based on the taxable profit for the current year, plus any adjustments to income tax payable in respect of prior years.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences or tax losses can be utilised.
The Group's subsidiaries are liable for corporation tax on their operating profits, to the extent not gift- aided to the holding charity.
(o) Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are shown at cost (comprising the original purchase price of the asset and the costs attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use), less accumulated depreciation and impairment, except for items costing less than £2,000 which are written off to the consolidated Statement of Financial Activities in the year of purchase.

1 Significant accounting policies (continued)
(p) Tangible fixed assets (continued)
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis on all tangible fixed assets, at rates that will write off the cost of the assets to their estimated residual values over their useful lives. The useful lives and associated depreciation rates of major classes of assets have been estimated as follows:
Office equipment & IT 3-5 years (20% - 33% per annum)
The residual value and useful life of an asset is reviewed, and adjusted if applicable, at each financial year end.
(q) Financial investments
Financial investment loans, equivalent to mixed motive investments, are recognised at the point of the disbursement under the conditions set out in the loan.
(r) Financial instruments
The Group has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised when the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, amounts owed by group undertakings and accrued income, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost being the transaction price less any amounts settled and impairment losses.
Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities
A financial asset is derecognised only when the contractual rights to cash flows expire or are settled, or substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to another party, or if some (but not substantially all) risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.
A financial liability (or part thereof) is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
Classification of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, amounts owed to group undertakings and accruals, are initially recognised at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost, being transaction price less any amounts settled. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
21
SOCIAL INVESTMENT BUSINESS FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
1 Significant accounting policies (continued)
(s) Provisions
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as an interest expense and is included in "finance costs".
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
The Group makes specific provisions for impairment against loans when, as a result of frequent monitoring and review by the Investment Committees, it is considered that recovery is doubtful. A calibrated risk approach to the investment books of the Futurebuilders, Modernisation, Communitybuilders, Adventure Capital Funds, Forward Enterprise Fund, Liverpool LIF, Resilience & Recovery Loan and Recovery Loan Funds results in a further general provision being made to the financial investments, after taking account of individual specific provisions. Provisions made during the year, less amounts released, are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities and are netted off against financial investments in the Balance Sheet.
(t) Cash and cash equivalents
All cash held in accounts of less than 90-day notice is treated as cash and, classified as a deposit if notice is required to draw down cash.
(u) Critical accounting judgements and estimates
In preparing these financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the Foundation’s accounting policies and the reported assets, liabilities, income and expenditure and the disclosures made in the financial statements. 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 key areas that are deemed to be material for these financial statements are as follows:
Significant judgement and estimates – provisions on financial investment loans
Significant judgements and estimates have been used in the calculation of both specific and risk calibrated provisions which are deducted from financial investments after the deduction of specific provisions. These provisions are calculated by applying impairments to financial investments after assessing their likelihood of default based on financial and subjective metrics.
In respect of financial investments, the amount of specific provisions is £13.9m (2021: £16.1m), and the risk calibrated provision applied to the financial investments is £1.6m (2021: £1.9m).
Futurebuilders England Limited fund treatment
The contracts dated 1 April 2011 between Cabinet Office and SIBL and between Cabinet Office and FBE to manage the funds advanced by Cabinet Office to FBE expired on 31 March 2013. Those contracts expressly stated that FBE was acting as principal and on this basis, and taking into account the substance of the relationship with Cabinet Office, the assets and liabilities of FBE were fully consolidated in the accounts of the Group at 31 March 2013 and previous years and the monies advanced by Cabinet Office were treated as restricted funds.
This contract was replaced by a new contract between SIBL and Cabinet Office which ran from 1 April 2013 to 31 March 2016. Although there are some differences between the previous contract and the new contract the governance arrangements, and the substance of the relationship between SIBL and Cabinet Office with regard to the management of these funds, remain largely unchanged, with the contract extended to March 2022.

SOCIAL INVESTMENT BUSINESS FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
1 Significant accounting policies (continued)
(u) Critical accounting judgements and estimates (continued)
Futurebuilders England Limited fund treatment (continued)
In particular, Cabinet Office has advised that, in its opinion, FBE continues to act as principal under the contract and the contract specifically states that FBE "will hold the assets and liabilities of the fund on its Balance Sheet" although the new contract does not have an express statement confirming that FBE acts as principal not as agent.
However, the directors agree with the stance taken by Cabinet Office on the basis that FBE has discretion over whom funds are distributed to. In addition, all loan agreements are between FBE and the investee and not with the DCMS. In all these circumstances, the assets and liabilities of FBE continue to be fully consolidated in the Group's accounts at 31 March 2022 and the monies advanced by Cabinet Office continue to be treated as restricted funds. However, under the new contract, the Cabinet Office:
has the right to terminate the contract at any time by giving at least three months’ notice; will be given all shares in FBE for no consideration at the end of such notice period, and can require FBE to "deal with the Funds in the manner directed by Cabinet Office".
If the above were to occur, there would be a change in the nature of the relationship with Cabinet Office and in the substance of the agreement with SIBL. In such circumstances, the Group would immediately recognise in its accounts:
a disposal of a subsidiary undertaking for no consideration should Cabinet Office serve notice to terminate the contract; or
a liability should Cabinet Office make a request for funds to be returned to them.
The Futurebuilders contract with the Cabinet Office was transferred to DCMS during 2016/17.

11 Corporation tax (charge)/credit
SIBF, as a registered charity, is exempt from corporation tax under the Corporation Tax Act 2010 (chapters 2 and 3 of part II, section 466 onwards) or Section 256 of the Taxation for Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent surpluses are applied to its charitable purposes.
FBE is not subject to corporation tax on fund income on drawn down requests in respect of investments to Civil Society Organisations. Corporation tax is chargeable to the restricted fund where it relates to loan interest received. Corporation tax relating to interest accrued is borne by FBE and is included as a charge against the unrestricted management fee.
Any tax-adjusted surplus arising in FBE and SIBL on the payment they receive to cover operational and management costs will be taxable. The tax charge arising on the payment received to cover operational and management costs differs from the surplus/deficit on that payment as follows:
| Net income/(expenditure) - FBE, FEFM, SIBFM and SIBL Net income/(expenditure) before taxation Tax at 19% thereon Effects of: Expenses not deductible for tax purposes Deferred tax adjustment for tax rate change Deferred tax not recognized Utilisation of tax loses Adjustments in respect of the prior period Actual current tax (charge)/credit |

14 Financial investments – movements in other mixed motive investments (continued)
SASC investment
During 2013, SIBF acquired a 29% share of SASC – entitling the Group to a 51% share of all future profit distributions. The investment in this associate has been accounted for using the equity method – with the initial investment recognised at cost which is considered to be the fair value of the consideration paid by the Group. The carrying amount of the investment is increased or decreased to recognise the Group's share of the profit or loss of SASC - and this profit or loss is reflected in the Group's results for the period.
During the year, SIBF’s exit of SASC's CIF reduced its share of SASC down to 14.5% this financial year. The share % of SASC is below the associate threshold and therefore SASC investments and provisions have been reclassified from investment in associate to other mixed motive investments.
As at 31 March 2022, SIBF had the remaining commitment of £0.6m to SASC from the Communitybuilders Fund to invest into SASC's CIF, against which there is a provision of £70k. SIBF also committed £1.5m as first loss provision on SASC's Third Sector Loan Fund. It is estimated that £375k of the loss provision will be repaid to SIBF over 10 years, and therefore a provision for the remaining £1.125m is included in the financial statements. SIBF has also committed £2m to SASC’s new housing fund, SASH.

22 Contingent liabilities
Social Investment Business Foundation
If an investee of the Adventure Capital Fund sells an asset purchased with those funds, the Home Office could require a partial repayment of its grant to the extent of any sales proceeds received by SIBF under any security which it holds over the investee. This could be regarded as a contingent liability but any obligation to pay the Home Office would be matched by funds received from the investee.
SIBF had the investment in The Community Investment Fund LP (CIF) which is part of the SASC investment. As part of the exit strategy of CIF, SIBF completed the settlement with Schroders BSC Social Impact Trust in March 2022 and agreed the indemnity on one of CIF’s investees with the total exposure of £559,607. The value of the indemnity is based on the original portion of SIBF investment in SASC (44%) on the investee’s outstanding loan balance at the settlement date of £1,259,115 and will be triggered upon the default of its loan. The directors considered this as a contingent liability on the basis that it may materialise in the future.
Futurebuilders England Limited
