## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2023** 

## **STRATEGIC REPORT Financial review** 

## **Investment policy and objectives** 

The trustees consider and regularly review their investment strategy to maximise income with consideration to risk. There are no restrictions on the investment powers of the trustees. Conditions within the financial markets are assessed how the funds will be invested. Currently the trustees consider that maintaining their portfolio of low­ risk equity investments and the investment of funds in interest-bearing accounts provides a favourable mix to meet their investment strategy. 

When the trustees agree to diversify their investments, due consideration will be given to a responsible investment policy to reflect social, environmental or ethical issues alongside risk. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity's target free reserves equate to £50,000,000 (2022: £50,000,000), a level deemed appropriate by the trustees to support ongoing charitable donations for a period of two to three years whilst alternative sources of income are investigated. The charity's level of free reserves is defined as Current Assets Investments and Cash at bank and in hand, was £107 ,594,435 at 30 November 2023 (2022: £91,872,174). The trustees have decided to retain and treat as capital the investment balance to provide sufficient annual income to maintain the current level of charitable activity. 

The free reserves balance is always high at the balance sheet date due to the dividend receipt that occurs in the month prior to the year end. In addition, £21 ,635 ,194 (2022 £23,000,000) is ring-fenced within the Current Assets Investments for the Moondance Cancer Initiative. 

The trustees believe the free reserves available are sufficient to meet the aims of the charity. This is reviewed on an annual basis and considered in the light of prevailing circumstances. The trustees aim to distribute the income generated in the year in the form of grants to charities and other worthwhile causes meeting one or more of the objectives of the trust as stated under principal activities _above,_ in addition to building free reserves. 

## **Donations policy** 

The website and online application process continue to work well. The charity is exploring a new grant management system to support online application. 

Online applications are considered by the trustees and staff, as well as investigating causes that interest them. The donations strategy is discussed and concluded at regular trustee meetings during the year, still trustees Diane Briere de !'Isle-Engelhardt, Henry Engelhardt and Louisa Scadden have the authority to make donations of modest size at their discretion. In addition, Rebecca Watkins has the authority to make donations of a lesser amount. For donations above Rebecca Watkins' authority, she will seek agreement from a trustee or trustees accordingly. 

Furthermore, Diane Briere de !'Isle-Engelhardt has the authority to make more substantial grants so long as she reports to the trustees either before or after the grant is made, explaining why such a grant was made.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2023** 

## **STRATEGIC REPORT** 

## **Principal risks and uncertainties** 

The principal risk and uncertainty to the charity is the performance of the investments held by the charity, on which it is reliant for future income to sustain the planned grants. As described in the Investment policy, the trustees review, at least annually, the performance of the investments held and the strategy for minimising risk to the charity. 

The trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed and have established systems and procedures to manage those risks. The trustees consider the volatility of investment returns to constitute the charity's major risk, and therefore benchmark the return being obtained against other similar investment options. 

The trustees consider that, in current market conditions, the current investments are providing the appropriate income requirement. However, the trustees recognise the risk of all the investments being in one sector and have taken action to diversify into other low-risk investments. 

## **Future plans** 

The charity will continue to provide grants in accordance with its Articles of Association and its aims and objectives. The Trustees intend that the level of investment income received from the capital portfolio is sufficient to support the required charitable donations in each year for the foreseeable future. 

The trustees continue their focus on Wales, recognising the impact of the cost of living crisis on communities and individuals in Wales. Their commitment remains to supporting the third sector in Wales and working to improve the environment for generations to come. The trustees have, as a result of the significant demand for funding, agreed to increase the donations budget to £25 millions for 2024 (2023: £20 million). 

Moondance Cancer Initiative (company number: 12305964) operates as a separate entity, funded entirely by the Moondance Foundation. It continues to support varied projects and research across Wales to improve outcome for people suffering from cancer in Wales. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Charity constitution** 

Moondance Foundation is a registered charitable company, charity number 1139224. The company was established on 17 November 2010 and is limited by guarantee. The Foundation was established by gifts from Diane Briere de !'Isle-Engelhardt. It operates in accordance with the Company's Articles of Association dated 17 November 2010. The charity does not actively fundraise and seeks to pursue its objectives through careful stewardship of its resources. 

## **Trustees and organisation** 

The trustees who served during the year are set out on page 1. The power of appointing or removing trustees is vested in a majority of trustees. 

The trustees meet regularly to agree on the broad strategy and areas of activity for the Foundation, including consideration of grant-making, investment and risk management policies and performance. 

The day-to-day management of the Foundation continues to be delegated to Rebecca Watkins, Foundation Director, who is a salaried employee of the Foundation. Salaries are benchmarked against similar jobs within the sector. 

The trustees and staff keep their skill requirements under review and subscribe to charity law and guidance.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2023** 

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of Moondance Foundation for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees 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 which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

In so far as the trustees are aware: 

- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and 

- the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information. 

## **AUDITORS** 

The auditors, Bevan Buckland LLP, wilt be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF MOONDANCE FOUNDATION** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Moondance Foundation (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 30 November 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement 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 (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 30 November 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; 

- - have been properly prepared in accordance with 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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK. including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

## **Other information** 

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## **Prior year Audit by Another Auditor** 

The financial statements of the Charitable Company for the period ended 31 March 2023 were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion. We have reviewed the predecessor auditor's report and considered its implications on the current year's financial statements. 

Page 7 



## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF MOONDANCE FOUNDATION** 

## **Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006** 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 

- the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

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

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees. 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, 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. 

Page 8 



## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF MOONDANCE FOUNDATION** 

## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

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

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

We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

We discussed our audit independence complying with the Revised Ethical Standard 2019 with the engagement team members whilst planning the audit and continually monitored our independence throughout the process. 

## **Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities.** 

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non­ compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following: 

- enquiring of management and those charged with governance, including obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the Charitable Company's policies and procedures relating to: 

   - identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance; 

   - detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual. suspected or alleged fraud; 

   - the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations; 

- discussing among the engagement team how and where fraud might occur in the Financial Statements and any potential indicators of fraud; 

- obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Charitable Company operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the Financial Statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations of the Charitable Company, The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act and relevant tax legislation. 

## **Audit response to risks identified** 

In addition to the above, our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following: 

- reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with relevant laws and regulations; 

- enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims; performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud; 

- reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance and reviewing correspondence with HMRC; and 

- in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; 

- assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and 

- evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business. 

We also communicated relevant 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. 

Page 9 



## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF MOONDANCE FOUNDATION** 

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. The 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 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. 

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

## **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 auditors' 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 financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, 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) (effective 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 charity. 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 certain financial instruments at fair value, The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. 

## **Income** 

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. 

Donations relate to quantities of shares of Admiral Group PLC being donated from a trustee. Income is recognised as the market value of the shares on the date of donation. 

Dividends income is recognised on the date the charity's right to receive payment is established. 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity, this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

Expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs relating to the furtherance of the charity's objectives as stated in the trustees' report. 

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

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** 

## **Expenditure** 

Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. 

## **Employee benefits** 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received. 

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. 

Grants offered sub[j] ect to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. 

## **Taxation** 

As a registered charity, Moondance Foundation is entitled to the exemption from taxation in respect of income and capital gains received with sections 478-489 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 and section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable ob[j] ect's purposes only. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable ob[j] ectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the ob[j] ects of the charity. oses. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted pur[p] 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Fixed asset investments** 

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs and are subse[q] uently 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. 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. 

## **Basic financial assets** 

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** 

## **Fixed asset investments** 

Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure), except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment. 

## **Derecognition of financial assets** 

Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the charity transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant 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. 

## **Basic financial liabilities** 

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## **Derecognition of financial liabilities** 

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

There were no investment assets outside the UK. 

A significant proportion of the portfolio held consists of 15,900,000 shares (2022: 13,400,000) in Admiral Group PLC, donated to the charity at a value of £303,867,688 (2022: £250,079,627). This equates to approximately 5.19% (2022: 4.47%) of the issued shares of Admiral Group pie. The Trustees believe that a sale of the entire investment is unlikely, but that in this unlikely event, the quoted share price may materially change from the market value at the time the disposal was initiated. The Trustees believe it is not possible to reliably estimate the effect on the value of the investment holding this would cause and hence no adjustment has been made to the carrying value of the investment.
