DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023
The directors present the financial statements of The Cross Trust for the year ended 5 April 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charitable company.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Trust's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and the Statement of Recommended Practice, "Accounting and Reporting by Charities", applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2019) .
Objectives and activities
The objects of the Trust are to advance any religious or other charitable object, including the support of any religious or charitable institution or work for the furtherance of religious or secular education, to advance the Christian faith in the United Kingdom or overseas, the relief of the poor and needy and comfort of the sick and aged.
The Trust supports those carrying on activities which are in accordance with its objects. These include the provision of education, advancing knowledge of the Christian faith together with other charitable purposes, all of which are for the direct benefit of society. The Trustees are therefore of the opinion that they meet the requirements to operate for the public benefit as set out in the general guidance provided by the Charity Commission.
The main objectives for the year were to support those causes the Directors have identified as carrying on activities which are in accordance with its objects.
The Directors meet regularly throughout the year to consider the applications for grants and award grants to those that meet their criteria. During the year 20 organisations and 3 individuals received a total of 23 grants from The Cross Trust.
The Directors have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the Trust should undertake.
The Trust is a grant making charity. Details of the grants awarded in the year can be found in the notes to the financial statements.
The directors have the power to deposit or invest, in their absolute discretion, in any investments or securities of any nature whatsoever and wheresoever including land of any tenure, with the fullest power to vary or change such investments for other authorised investments as freely as if the directors are absolutely and beneficially entitled to the monies concerned. The directors have agreed that investments should only be made after taking appropriate professional advice.
It is the policy of the Trust to make grants to institutions and individuals in accordance with the objectives of the Trust for charitable causes from funds available for distribution. This is set to continue in the future.
Achievements and performance
During the year the Trust made 23 (2022:41) grants totalling £713,660 (2022: £4,540,462). These grants supported a range of organisations and individuals from George Whitefield College, a Theological college based in South Africa and a ministry in New Zealand, where the grant given has helped to grow the college, to an individual who is studying to become an ordained minister.

THE CROSS TRUST
DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023
Financial review
The results for the year, and the Trust's financial position at the end of the year, are shown in the attached financial statements.
It is the policy of the Trust that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The Directors consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the Trust's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. Although this level is the target each year, it is not necessary to be maintained each year as each committed donation is covered prior to the commitment. The total reserves as at 5 April 2023 were £1,960,098 (2022: £2,541,019).
The trustees review the reserves policy and the level of reserves from time to time.
In 2010 the Trustees made the decision to invest in the stock market. Ruffer LLP was appointed to manage this portfolio following instructions from the Trustees to adopt a cautious approach. The original fund was disposed of in 2020 with new investments in 2021. The value of this portfolio at the year end was £938,563 (2022: £1,548,312).
The directors regularly review the risks to which the charitable company is exposed and aim to minimise these risks as far as possible. The directors consider the main risk to be the return and value of the investment portfolio which is likely to fluctuate by nature. This is mitigated by retaining expert investment managers and having a diversified investment portfolio.
Structure, governance and management
On 4 April 2008 the charitable company was incorporated and registered with Companies House under No 06555982. On 4 December 2008, the Trust was registered with the Charity Commission under No 1127046. The assets and liabilities of The Cross Trust, an unincorporated charity registered with the Charity Commission under No 298472, were transferred on 25 February 2009.
The Directors who served during the year and to date were: The Lord Michael Farmer Mr D J Olsen The Lady Farmer Mrs A R R Richards
New directors can be appointed by the board and are then reappointed at the next Annual General Meeting. The directors administer the trust funds directly and have regular communication with regard to grants to be made. Formal trustee meetings are held periodically as required.
The Trust follows the good practice Charity Trustees' Guide with regard to the induction programme of any newly appointed trustee which includes a meeting with the other trustees, a welcome pack informing them of the Trust and a copy of the Charity Commission's guidance.
Other than the fact that the majority of the unrestricted funds are received from the trustees, there were no related party transactions during the year.

THE CROSS TRUST
DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023
Auditor
A resolution proposing that SKS Audit LLP be reappointed as auditor of the company will be put to the members.
Each of the directors has confirmed that there is no information of which they are aware which is relevant to the audit, but of which the auditor is unaware. They have further confirmed that they have taken appropriate steps to identify such relevant information and to establish that the auditor is aware of such information.
The report of the directors has been prepared taking advantage of the small companies' exemption of section 415A of the Companies Act 2006.
Statement of Directors Responsibiltes
The directors, who also act as trustees for the charitable activities of The Cross Trust, are responsible for preparing the Directors' 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 Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Trust and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Trust will continue in operation.
The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Trust 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 Trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Lord Michael Farmer
Director Dated: 30 January 2024

THE CROSS TRUST
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE DIRECTORS OF THE CROSS TRUST
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Cross Trust (the ‘Trust’) for the year ended 5 April 2023 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 5 April 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, 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 Trust 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 other information comprises the information included in the trustees 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.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:
-
the information given in the trustees' report (Directors Report for the year ending 5[th] April 2023) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Directors Report for the year ending 5[th] April 2023 has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

THE CROSS TRUST
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE DIRECTORS OF THE CROSS TRUST
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 financial statements as on 5[th] April 2023 and the Directors report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which 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 directors’ 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 in preparing the trustees’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report .
Responsibilities of Directors
As explained more fully in the directors’ responsibilities statement set out on page 3, 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 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.
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.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Our approach was as follows:
-
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the entity.
-
We communicated identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit. We examined and discussed with management any known or suspected instances of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.
We assessed the risks of material misstatement in respect of fraud as follows:
-
The audit team discussed whether there were any areas that were susceptible to misstatement as part of their fraud discussion.
-
In addressing the risk of management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries with a focus on large or unusual transactions based on criteria determined using our knowledge of the organisation and industry. We also challenged assumptions and judgements made.
-
We incorporated an element of unpredictability in the selection of the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures.
-
Based on the results of our risk assessment we designed our audit procedures to identify and to address material misstatements in relation to fraud, including bribery and non compliance
-

THE CROSS TRUST
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE DIRECTORS OF THE CROSS TRUST
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charitable company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charitable company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation (ie. gives a true and fair view).
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
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.

THE CROSS TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023
1 Accounting policies
Company information
The Cross Trust is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is St Mary's Court, The Broadway, Old Amersham, Bucks, HP7 0UT.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charity's memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2019). The Charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Trust. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of investments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Directors' continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Directors in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the Trust is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is more likely than not that the income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Trust has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the Trust has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis, inclusive of VAT which cannot be recovered. Charitable Activities includes those costs which meet the objectives of the charitable company by relating directly to the advancement, support and education of religious and charitable groups. Other costs are those incurred in meeting the statutory requirements of running the charitable company.
1.6 Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
