A￿&tOrS. responsibilities lorihe awlft of the finafftd•l st*ements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonatde a55UTance about vthether the financial statement5 a5 a whole are free
from material misstatement. whether due to fraud ￿ error. and to issue an auditors. ￿port that includes our
oplni¢)n. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assUra￿e, but is rhot a guarantee that an audit ccfflducted in

fraud or error and are considered material if. individually or in aggregate, they COLld reasonably be experted to
influence the economic decisions of users tsken on the bast5 of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in a¢oYdancÈ with ISAS IUKI we exertise professional judgment and maintain professional
scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks material misstatement of the financial statements. vthether due to fraud or
error. design and perform audit procedures responsive to those ri5ks,' and obtain audit evidence that is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a ba515 for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement

intentional omission5, misrepresentatlOn5. or the override of internal control.

Explan*lw as to ¥that extent the audlt wa5 c&￿1￿1￿d tapable of detectlne Irrel￿rItIeS. inch￿1￿$ fraud
lcontlnuedl
The objectives of our audit in respett of fraud are to identify and asse55 the risks of material misststement of
the financial statements due to fraud- to obtsin 5uffiuent 3pproprlate audit evidence regardin8 the aSSe￿e￿
rlsks of material misstatement due to fraud. through designing and implementing appropriate ￿SponseS to
those assessed risks,. and to ￿pOnd appropriatety to instances of fraud or susperted fraud identified during the
audtt. However. the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both
management and those ch3rged with g(weman￿ of the group and parent charitable companv.
Ow approath was as follows:
• we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatr&ry requirements applicable to the charotable
company and considered that the most S￿nIfiCant are the Companbes Act 21116, the Charities Act 2011, the
Charity SORP, and UK financial reporting standard5 as issued by the Finantial Reporting Council.
we obtained an understanding of how the group and charitable cornpany complles with these requirementi
by di5CU55ions with management and those charged wth gthièmance.
we assessed the risk of material mi55tatement of the finanual statements, including the risk of material
mi55tatèment due to fraud and how it m￿t occur, by holding discussions with management arKI those
charged with governance.
we inquirèd of management and those charged with 8oveman¢e as to any krbown Instances of non-
compliance or susperted non-compliance with laws and regulations.
based on this understsndin& we designed specific appropriate audil procedure5 to identify instances of n¢)n-
compliance with laws and regulation5. Thi5 included making enquiries of management and those charged
with governartce and obtalning additional corroboratNe evidence as required.
There are 1fthe￿nt limitations in the audit wocedure5 described above. We are less likely to beccrfne aware of
instances of non<ompliance with laws and regulation5 that are not closefy related to events and transactions
refiected in the finaA¢ial statements. Ajso. the r￿k of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is
higher than the rlsk of not detecting one resultin8 from error, as fraud may invofve deliberate concealment by,
for example. forgery or intentional miS￿presentatiOns. or thrtyth collusion.
Us• of thls report
This report is rnade solely to the charitable company's members, a5 3 body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of

possible events or conditions that might cast $18nificant doubt on the ability of the Royal Academy to continue
as a going concem. The trustees have made this Jssessment for a period of at least one year from the date of
approval of the finanual ststements and have considered the continued impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, a5

rising inllatlon and interest rates. and an emerging risk of a global recession.

b. Gotng concern Iconllnwdl
In particular. the trustees have considered the sensitiwty of fo￿3$1$. indudin8 that of a slower recoveryfrom
the pandemi¢. They have taken account of the ￿lated pressures on its key sources of income from donations,
in particular the annual donation from the Friend5 of the Royal Academy; Sponsorship and admissTron income
from its exhibitions programme. and from its trading artivities. induding onsite and online retail and
corwate membership and lets. The tnjstees have further remewed its underlying cost base and its
expenditure on both its charitable and fundraisin8 attivities, as well as from ¢LYnmercial tradin& supporting
these key source5 of income and the Prospec￿ impact of rising inflation. higher energy tariffs and salary
increases on these.
The Group has unrestricted net current assets of £5.9m a5 at the year end. The Group also has access to
committed £3.5m Masterplan Revolving Credit Faciltty (reducing from £5.Ckn in May 20231 and £1.5m
Operating Re¥olviNd Credit Faolty Ireducin8 from £2.5m in March 20231 to August 2025 and an annuallv
renewable £0.5m overdraft facllity. None of these facilrtie5 were drawn uwn as at the year end.
In November 2020. the Royal Academy Trust pledged a £2.Ckn donation to the Royal Academy. which may be
drawn down over the period to 31 August 2023 as emergency support fvnding to mitigate the financial impart
of Cowid-19. This pledge has not yet been called Up(￿ by the Royal Academy but will be duri￿ 2023.
In addition, the Royal Atademy Trust. an independent chanty established to specifically provide support to
the Royal Academy. held funds of £53.Im at 31 Au8USt 2022 in trust for the Royal Academy, of whith E18.3m
are unrestrirted, includin8 £11.9m that is both unrestricted and not deS￿natEd. and É0.7m of restricted funds
held In the Paul Mellon Endowment fund, which may be used for the general purposes of the Royal Academy.
The £2.(hm pledge will be drawn from thesefund5.
In vlew of the level of Cur￿￿ liquid reS￿r(eS. the ILMg terni loan funding and short tern) facilities in place:
and the pledged donations and ongoing support of the Royal Academy Trust, the trustees considèr that the
Group has both sufficient funding and IiqLbidity for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to
adopt the Boing concern ba￿S in preparing its financial statements.
Tt)tal rettffn Inwstment acc￿￿￿5
The trustees have dected to adopt the total return approath for the investment of its permanent
endowments. Under this approach. the pemianently endowed funds are invested to produce an investment
return without regard to whether that retum is in the form of inccrfne or capital appreciation- the investment
return forms a component of the endowment fund called the unapplied total return. The trustees periodically
determine how much of the unapplied total return is released to income for spendir6 and how much is
retsined for investment. This allocation Is made equitably to balance the need for inccKne to meet ￿rrent
requirement5 and to hold fuNls as part of the endowment to produce irivestment returns for the future.

d. Funds structure
Where the￿ is a legal restrirtion on the purp)se to which a fund may be put. the fvnd is d8ssified elther as
restricted fund or an endowment fund.
Rèstricted funds are those where the donof has provided ￿ the donation to be spent In furtherance of
specified charitable puwe.
Endowment funds arise when the donor ha5 eypressly provided that the donation is to be invested and only
the income of the fund may be spent. These funds are sub analysed between those where the trustees have
the discretion to spend the capital. an expendable endowment, and those where there is no discretion to
expend the capitsl. a permanent endowment.
Those funds which are nwther endowment nor restritted irKome funds, are unrestricted income funds which
are sub analysed between designated funds, where Council have set aside amounts to be used for specific
purposes or whith reflert the non-binding wishes of donors: and unre5trirted funds. which are used at the

e. Burwngton Houst
The Royal Academy holds a 999 year lease on 8udin8ton House, of which almost 850 years remain, title to
which is vèsted in the Secretsry of State for thè Department of Communities and Local Govemment. The rent
of the property is nominal but it is the responsibility of the Royal Academy to maintain the property in a sound
condition. The woperty is inalienable in that its ownership rèverts to the Government if it is no longer used bv
the Royal Academy. The property works carried out on the galleries, Royal Academy Schools and Library are
principally to maintain the fabric in its origi.nal condition and ensure an adeqyatÈ enwironment for the exhibits.
As the value of these works is part of the fabric of the buildlng and cannot be realised, these are not
recognised in the balance sheet except in the casè of building bmprovements a5 detailed in the fixed assets and
depreciation policy descritred below.

The tru5tee5 do not consider that reliable cost or valuation infomiation can be obtained for the vast majority
of heritsge assets held by the Royal A£ademy. In particular. the Diploma Works have an Intrlnsic value to the
Royal Academy collection as an embodiment of the development of the Royal Academy as an institution. The
manner in which they are given to the Royal Academy makes the valuation of these items very sublectsve, such
that a reliable value cannot be arrived at. Furthennore. the cost of valuing the entfire collection would be
onerous compared with the benefft dffived by user5 of the finanoal statements in assessing the Royal
Academ￿5 stewardship of these asse

More inforrnation about the Royal Academ¢s colledion is available at www.racollection.org.uk.
CapItall￿tIon of the folertions
In the opinion of the trustees. reliable information on cost or value is not availalAe for the Royal Academy
permanent couection. This is owin8 to the lack of reliable infomiation M pur¢hase cost- the lack of
compwable market values.. the diverse no￿re of the objects.. and the volume of items held.
The collections have a significant intrinsit valuè rÈlatinE to the way they pro**ide a unique insight into the
hlstory of art and the study of art over the past 250 year5. The manrEr in which items are 8iven by
Academicians makes valuation of these items difficult as thtrre is no origfinal cost to the item. In additbon there
is an intrinsic value to the collèctions as an embodiment of the history of the Royal Academy as an institutlon,
which would also be far too subiectNe and unique to pla¢e any rèliable value upon. For this reason. thè
permanent collection, large proportrons of which were ￿"fted to the Royal Academy at nil cosL are
n¢ornparable in nature and are not recognised as assets in the Royal Academy's balance sheet.

In 2020, the RA Tecwed a donation of £2.2m for the purchase of 7 Pembroke Studlos for £1.65m. with the
balance to be used for other costs of purchase and the ongoing repairs and maintenance of the property. A5

exclusive, rent free use of the Studio for as long as she is able to continue to actively use it as an artist up to a
maximum of 25 years. At the end of this period the Royal Academy has the right to use OT dispose of the

As the use of the property by this artist ts not for the Royal Academrfs charitable purposes and the property is
primarily held for its capital appreciation. it is bein8 accounted for as an investment property. The CharKties
SORP require5 that investment properties are measwed initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at the
ret)ortir4 date.
Based on a Valuati￿ as at 31 Au8USt 20Z2 by an independent third party. the cuffent open market value (with
vacant possession) of the property is El.65m. However. due lo the requirement for the artist to be able to use
the property rent free for up to 25 years from September 2020, the valuation on thrs basis is mu¢h lower at
£1.155m. In accordance with the Charitles SOAP. this lower valuation is deemed to be the fair value for
accoufiting purposes and the dimnution in value due to this restriction In use has been ￿COgnise(l as "other
