Museum of London Annual Report and Financial Statements Year Ended 31 March 2022 FOREWORD BY SHARON AMENT. MUSEUM DIRECTOR Re-inhabiting our buildi ngs in a safe way. re-building ourselves as a vi51tor attraction and gettlng on with the business of being a museum wa5 immensely rewarding after such a period of difficult disruption. We still had our work cut out, along with our colleagues across the cultural sertor. as our vi51tor numbers averaged a third of pre-pandemic levels across the year, the Covid-19 Omicron variant further slowed progress and internatlonal tourlsts were not yet back in force. However the outlook at the end of the year gave us reason to be optimistic about the future. It was a delight to hear the sound5 of throngs of children again enjoying a school trip to the museum and reminded me of the fundamental truth that museums are about people. Delivering our vision for a new museum for London at West Smirhfield remained our absolute priorlty. The focus this year was on the General Market building where the pace and scale of the work underway onsite was truly immense - whether it was l O.OOOm2 of brickwork being industrially cleaned or the painstaking replacement of 200 historic timber windows and so much more. Our talented team continued to collaborate with world class architects, engineers. exhibition designers and crearives, along wirh input from Londoners themselves, to create something that will be amazing and fresh for the 21 st century. In February we made the major announcement that we would be closing the galleries to visitors at our London Wall slte at The end of 2022. and that from this point we will become The London Museum and The London Museum Docklands. a change that heralds our journey to become a new museum for London. As ever there was a huge array of work underway that was le5S V15ible to the public. From initiating new academlc research into flsh bones to give inslght into medieval diets through to the replacement of two business-critical systems, in Finance and HR. the breadth of activity and expertise at work to continually develop the Museurn 15 rarely seen in its entirety. Internally our plan5 for organisational transformation continued including a change to our senior management structure and the appolntment of a new Managing Director of Docklands, Douglas Gilmore. who will lead the Museum as it becomes our prl mary public offer from late 2022. A heartfelt thank you to everyone that continues to share in our collective endeavour- my colleagues. the City of London Corporation. the Greater London Authority. Arts Council England and all our supporters. our Volunteers. our Board of Governors and Chair. Cllve Bannister. for your steadfast support and inspiration. Together we are well placed to proceed with one of the most significant years in the history of the Museum. Bring it on! Sharon Ament Dlrertor, Museum of London

Museum of London Annual Report and Flnanclal Statements Year Ended 31 March 2022 The museum pays the levy for, and is registered with the Fundraising Regulator. and our fundraising standards and guidelines are aligned with the Regulator's Code of Fundraising Practice. This includes treating people fairly and with respect, explaining our cause in a way which doe5 not rnislead people. and being sensitive to people who may be in vulnerable circumstances. Human Resources As at 31 March 2022. we employed approximately 266 staff across our three sites. We commenced the year with the museum remaining closed due to Covid-19, with staff either on furlough or working from home where thelr roles enabled this. Once the museum was able to open staff gradually started to return to site. commencing with our front of house teams in May 2021. We kept in place health and safety measure5 through the year to support both staff and visitors. only removing many of these towards the end of the year when the government introduced their 'Living with Covid, plans In February 2022. Throughout the year we continued work on transforming ourselves to become more people-centred (in the sense of vlsitors and the other people we serve), open, diverse, creative. impactful and sustainable. Part of this saw the introduction of a Blended Working Policy. which contained within it a framework. setting out the mu5eurn's new approach to worklng. Subject to role. we moved to staff being able to split their working time between working onsite in the rnuseum and working remotely from home or elsewhere, as appropriato. The framework has at its heart flexibility. built on trust. with an overarching focus on our behaviour of putring on a great show, ensuring staff retain a close connection to our audiences. the museum experience and our colleagues remain at the core of how we work. Despite Covid-19 and all the changes going on the museum over the last year, we stlll managed to make progre55 against areas of our People Strategy, continuing to work against five strategic objectives linked to our overall organisational objectives. Here are some of our achievements over the last year.. Transforrnlng ourselves: We recognise the need to transform ourselves - our workforce make- UP, skills, structures. and ways of working. Equity, diversity and inclusion continued as a key focus with us building on our strategic objective to be a more equal, dlverse and inclusive museum. As part of rhis we commenced a collaboratlve research project wlth the Research Centre for Museums and Galleries at Leicester University looking at embedded whiteness. We also finalised phase one of our organisational restructure and started planning for the closure of London Wall as a visitor attraction. with the associated further phase of restrucrurlng required. This restructuring has enabled us to not only change the make up of our workforce at all levels, including our senior leadership team. It has also continued to POSltively impact our gender pay gap.. https.'IIv4ww.museumoflondon.org.uklabout-uslcorporate-informationlgender-pay- gap-data. Resourclng and retentlon: We recognise that our exceptional staff and volunteers are key in bringing experience and expertise to the task of implementing our strateglc plan. Thls year we worked hard to find ways to keep our volunteers engaged and looked at ways to reintroduce them back once Covid-19 restriaions eased. We introduced lived experience volunteering to our

Thoughout the year we have continued to bring new talent into the museum whilst at the same time diversifying our workforce across the board. Development and talent management: We want to value our people by ensurlng they experlence excellent line management and have access to a variety of high quality and cost-effective learning opportunities. Following the organisational learning needs analysis we carried out at the end of last year, we moved forward with the introduction of key interventions related to SUPPOrting our staff in key areas of activity related to people management. equality diversity and Inclusion (EDI). as well as personal development. We introduced the following new courses: Managing Remote Teams. Building Resilience, Work Smarter and Maximise your Day. Race Matters= people and stories. objects and places. and our anti-racism tralnlng course No more black and white. We also introduced our Diversity Hub, a focused space for Diverslty and Inclusion Resources. It is an opportunity to encourage staff to build their knowledge and understanding of EDI topics and issues. as well as identifying and addressing any personal knowledge gaps Wellbelng and employee relatlons: We recognise thaiwe will perfortn betterwhen our people are healthy. motivated and focused. We've taken the opportunity to build on the work carrled out last year, a major step being to take part in the MIND Workplace Wellbeing Index. Alongside thls we renewed our membership of the Calm for Business app. In relation to our work around mental health, we have also set up Mental Health Champions. and took part in the My whole Self and rime to Talk campaigns. All of this work is looking to enable our staff to feel supported at work, allowing them to be themselves and to reduce the stigma of mental health within the workplace. HR systems and processes: We continued work on ensuring we have systems and processes in place that are fit for a 2151 century museum to provide a secure and efficient infrastructure in which to support our people. We procured our new HR Information system. giving this a name MyPlace. Launching Self-se[Ce as part of this brought about significant changes, transforming paper based processes on line. We are currently on phase 2 of this project implementing further changes to our processes to move them online. Enabling people to access these from wherever they, whenever they need to. Policy development work also continued throughout the year. with new and updated policies being introduced e.g. Blended Working Policy, Sickness Absence Policy. Flexible Working Policy.

Museum of London Annual Report and Financlal Statements Year Ended 31 March 2022 The Governors reviewed the museum's financial plans in March 2022 as part of their normal annual review and budget setting process, as well a5 our principal financial risks. At that time. the Governors were satisfied that the museum had sufficient resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future and accounts have been prepared in the knowledge that the museum is a financially viable organisation. Since then. a Four Year plan was prepared and approved in May 2022 in support of our ACE application and the financial plan was reviewed after quarter I was completed with a formal reforecast approved by the Executive Team in August. The Governors wlll continue to review plans with the museum's Executlve Team at least quarterly. Financlal reserves After transfers from restricted and designated funds and other gains and losses. the Museum of London's total general reserves were £8.5m ai 31 March 202212021 .' £8.2m). The group's restricted funds were £18.9m at 31 March 202 2 (2021 = £10.2m) and the group's designated funds, excluding the Defined Benefit Pension Reserve, were £21.5m at 31 March 2022 (2021: £23.Im). The designated funds are largely comprised of the Flxed Assets Fund. which is being used to fund future depreciation of those assets acquired from unrestricted funds. The group's cash balances and cash flow forecast remain adequate for its needs. However. the Governors are aware that the current economic climate and future uncertainty in relation to all income streams require this assessment to remain under review. Total group funds, carried forward at 31 March 2022 were negative £3.5m (2021 '. negative £19.9m). The result5 have been impacted significantly by the accounting valuation of the Pension Fund that has seen a reduction in the Pension DePicit of £8.9m 12021.. increase of £22.1 m). Thi5 is further explained below and in Note 22. An alternative balance sheet view is included below that removes the Pension Fund deficit as this is not indicative of any pension liability that is expected to crystallise in the short term as it represents the accounting valuation of the scheme under FRS 102 rather than the level of future contributions to be paid. The Governors are satisfied that the pension deficit is an accountlng deficlt and does not represent the actual fund value. and that the fund deficit is scheduled to be extingulshed wlthin 14 years.

Museum of London Annual Report and Flnancial Statements Year Ended 31 March 2022 to meet the liabilities. At October 2019. the total fund had contributions set at a level to meet the deficit in 14 years. The funding valuation in 2022 has set the contributions rates from April 2023. The Museum accounts for the pension fund under the Flnanclal Reportlng Standard 102 (FRSI 02) accounting standard. whlch requires Ilabllltles to be valued uslng a dlscount rate assumption Set with reference to yields on "high quality" corporate bonds. As a result. accounting deficits are usually larger than funding defiCIts and are more volatile as they have to Use a prescri bed discount rate, which does not reflect future expected returns from the attual investment strategy.

Museum of London Annual Report and Financial Statements Year Ended 31 March 2022 Golng concern Governors believe that the museum has put in place a robust structure that. in conjunction with the prudent reserve5 policy, will allow It to manage the foreseeable risks to the organisation. The accounts are therefore prepared on the going concern basis as financial projections show the museum is able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future. The principal uncertainties currently facing the organisation are the prolonged uncertainty of visitor numbers post Covid-19 pandemic, security of future funding and, particularly in recent months. inflationary pressures on operational costs. The Governors and Executive Tearn continue to closely monitor the impatts. and believe that the organisation 15 in a financial position to help manage these risks. The New Museum project is a significant investment of £337m, and a key milestone is the London Wall museum closing in December 2022 to allow for the transition of artefacts. The project is funded by drawdowns in advance from the City of London Corporation. The cash outflows over the coming two years from April 2022 are expected to be clrca £130m (although these are dependent on the programme and may change). matched against a combination of grant income from the City of London Corporation and the Greater London Authority. and the museum's fundraising campaign. Given the current economic environment facing potential donors. uncertainty exists over these amounts. We are a150 reliant on the project being closely managed durlng this period to prevent delays and increases to the cost base for the project. Controls are in place to mitigate these risks. In addition to the above funding model, where we acr as lead charlty wlthin the terms of a Design Services Agreementwith the Cityof London Corporation. income Is recelved from the City of London Corporation in the month that the consultants are paid. A5 lead charity we have procured and contracted with suppliers to provide design and other Services relating to the New Museum project which are then recharged to the City of London Corporation as set out In note 5 to the financial statements. The key factors in our going concern assessment are: The museum has confirmed funding from our statutory grant funders untll March 2024. although the position after that is less clear. The funders have a statutory obligation to fund the Museum beyond March 2023 and grants have not been reduied in the past. even during the height of the pandemic. The Tllu5eum is forecasting 2023124 funding of at least equivalent to 2022123 grants, however the quantum of the grants Post 31 March 2023 is yet to be fully conflrmed. The Docklands museum will be open to the public 7 days per week, from l Oam to 5pm. ACE funding of £l.I m per annum for National Portfolio Organisation funding has been confirmed for the three year5 from 2023 to 2026. ACE Sector Support Organisation funding has been extended for another year to 2022123. The Museum ha5 invested in it5 management capability and has a Board of Governors that brings expert expertise. The museum has robust financlal modelling procedures that allow it to deal with changing assumption5. 22
Museum of London Annual Report and Financial Statements Year Ended 31 March 2022 The museum's strategic plan contains a key objective to move to the West Smithfield site where the opportunities for grt)wth in visitors and self-generated income will be greater after opening a larger site acros5 two market buildings. The City of London Corporation and GLA have confirmed thelr commltment to the New Museum project through budgets approved by the Court of Common Council and Policy and Resources Committee, and funding is drawn down in advance against these approved budgets. Other factors of note are.. The forecast project spend from April 2022 to 3 1 March 2024 is circa £130m (dependent on the programmel and will be funded by drawdowns from the City of London Corporation. The going concern assessment period largely covers RIBA Stage 5 of the projett and break clauses are in place for the construction contracrs. None of the philanthropit funders have wlthdrawn pledges and National Lottery Heritage Fund has confirmed approval at Stage 2 of £ 5m. We have not drawn down or will not draw down fu nding that is philanthropically raised until the latter stages of the projert, thus we will never be in the position of having to pay back donors. money should the project fail. Iv. On the basis of the above and the assumption that grant in aid from our Statutory funders (the City of London Corporation and the GLA) will be at least in line with 202212 3. Governors believe that the museum'5 robust Structure, in conjunction with the prudent reserves policy explained below. wlll allow it to manage the foreseeable risks to the organisation. There is a risk that the Museum could require further funding due to an unplanned decline in visitor numbers to Museum of London Docklands and uncertalnty over grant in aid. However. the Board has revlewed the Museum's cash flow forecasts and believes it has sufficient cash flovts for the next twelve months. As such, the Governor5 continue to adopr the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements. Further detail is included in Note l a to the accounts. Reserves pollcy The Reserves Pollcy underpins the Museum's Strategic Plan and establishes the financial paramerers within which the long-term delivery of our mission and objectives can be achieved. The Board has adopted a Reserves Policy which is based on the evaluation of major rlsks facing rhe museum and which is reviewed by the Board annually. The objective is to provide a level of unrestrirted reserve5 that will minimise the impact to museum services, should any of the risks materialise, but that does not fully cover all of the main risks as the Board belleves that this would provide an unreasonable level of excess reserves. The Board has identified the following as its main risks. The museum.. Fails to generate satisfactory revenue5 from its activities ro cover increases in operational costs. Fails to secure sufficient grant income as a resulr of continued cuts in government spending. Suffers a sudden failure of building structure or major plant requiring immediate attention in order to continue operations. Requires further restrutturing of operations should grant in aid be substantially reduced. Suffers loss of assets as a result of fraud, theft or ¢Jbercrime. 23
Museum of London Annual Report and Flnanclal Stacements Year Ended 31 March 2022 Fails to respond appropriately to an act of terrorism or major emergency at alllany of the Group site5, causing a fall in income andlor loss of reputation. Accordingly* the Board hold5 re5erve5 to mitigate the effect of the above risks in the following way.. Approximately £7m to cover normal operating expenditure for between 4 and 6 months Ithis excludes discretionary spend such as projects), Approximately £1 rn to cover emergency building repairs. restructuring costs and short term cash flow fluctuations which may arlse durlng the year. As at 31 March 2022 the balance on rhe Museum of London's general funds (as shown in Note 18- Total General Funds) stood at £8.5m (excluding designated fixed a55et and pension reserves) (2021 '. £8.2m). While the net asset position (excluding the accounting valuation of the Pension Deficit) 15 strong, this is predominantly in fixed assets. restricted funds. restricted endowment funds or designated funds. Therefore. the Reserves Pollcy and the level of general funds held is viral to protect the museum from the risks and issues noted above and enables the museum to continue to deliver our mission and objectives. The current risks concerning increased uncertainty over visitor income and grant funding, are examples of why we hold such levels of general reserves and these will be used accordingly to ensure that the museum remains a going concern. The Museum has a designated Fixed Asset Reserve equating to the net book amount of tangible fixed assets that have not been funded by loans. to reflect the fact that some unrestrlcted funds are utllised to finance fixed assets and are thus unavailable for working capital. 24
Museurn of London Annual Report and Financial Statements Year Ended 31 March 2022 Risk management and internal control Purpose of the system of internal control The system of internal control is designed to manage risk to a reasonable level rather than elirninate the risk of failure to achieve policies. aims and objettives. The system can therefore only provlde reasonable and not absolute assurance of effectlveness. The system of internal control 15 based on an ongoing proce55 designed to Identlfy and prioriti5e the principal risk5 to the achievement of museum's policies, aims and objectives, to evaluate the Ilkelihood of those rlsks belng reallsed and the impact should they be realised and to rnanage them efficiently, effectively and economically. The system of Internal control has been in place in the Museum of London and its subsidiary undertaklngs during the year ended 31 March 2022 and up to the date of approval of the annua5 report and financial statements. Capacity to handle risk The Museum of London has a struttured rlsk management process as detalled in the Rlsk Management Policy and Srrategy. The Dlrector has the ultimate responsibility for promoting and embedding this policy and strategy. Each Executive Team member has responslbllity for the Identlflcatlon and assessment of risks within their area and for ensuring that these are managed appropriately. The Chief Financial Officer provides advice and support to the museum on the risk management strategy, policy, framework and processes. The museum uses the internal audit unit of the City of London Corporation, which operates in accordance with local government internal audit standards a5 laid down in the CIPFA code of practice. The work of the internal audit unit is informed by an analysls of the risk to which the museum is exposed. and annual internal audit plans are based on thls analysis. The analysis of risk and the internal audit plans are endorsed by the museum's Audit and Risk Management Committee. At least annually. the Head of Internal Audit provides the Audit and Risk Management Committee with a report on internal audit aaivity in the museum. The repon includes the Head of Internal Audit's independent opinion on the adequary and effettiveness of the museum's systems of risk matiagement, internal control and corporate governance. Risk and Control Framework The museum's Risk Management Policy and Strategy explains the organisation's approach to risk management., provide5 risk definit10115-, raises awareness of the principles and benefits involved in the risk management process; identifies the main reporting procedures and promotes good risk management. Embedding of risk management 15 generally sound bLft continues to progress. Further work is alway5 required, when personnel and priorities change. to ensure that this continues to be part of all the operations of the organisation. The Risk Management Poliry andstrategy sets out the risk assessment process whereby risks are Identified and included within the risk register according to the category of risk and the likelihood and impact of the risk event occurring. 25
Museum of London Annual Report and Flnanclal Statements Year Ended 31 March 2022 These identified risks are controlled through the system of internal control which is based on a framework of regular management inforrnation, administrative procedures including the segregation of dufies, and a system of delegation and accountability- In particular. it includes: an organisational structure with clear accountability and levels of authority. from the Governor5 overall responsibility down to the Individual staff member- comprehensive budgeting 5yStern5 Wlth an annual budget and five year rolling financial plan that are reviewed and agreed by the Board of Governor5- regular reviews by the Board of Governors of periodic and annual financial reports which indicate financial and operational performance against plans and forecasts: setting targets to measure financial and other performance. clearly defined review procedure5 for proposed capital investments- as appropriate. formal project management dlsclpllnes., codes of conduct for Governors and staff.. and annual signoffs by senior management that they have complied with their responsibilities. The risk reporting prograrnme agreed with the Audit and Rlsk Management Committee is as follows= Strategic and major operational risks are reported to and reviewed by the Board of Governors at least once per year and quarterly by the Audit and Risk Management Committee and Directorate. Departmental operational risks are regularly reviewed by the Dlrectorate (at least twice per year) and heads of departTnent. project managers and other senior managers as appropriate. COVID-19 Pandemic Since 19 May 2021 both Museums were open to the public on a reduced 5 days per week basis, extending to 7 days per week during school holidays. The Museums were impacted by the Omicron variant over Christmas with a sharp drop in visitors and delays and cancellations of hospitality events. The Museum is still experiencing lower visitor numbers than pre-pandemlc but we have seen a steady growth. and it is likely to be several years before inbound tourism returns to pre-pandemic levels. Pre Covid-19 pandemic circa 25% of the museum's income is normally self-generated through donations. membership. exhibition ticket sales, retall, caterlng and venue hire. The combination of lower visitor numbers and the longer term implicatlons of the pandemic on both our grant funders and the wider econorny continues to be closely monitored by Governors and Execuf ive Team to mitigate the impacts where possible. Review of effectiveness The effectiveness of the system of internal conirol is reviewed by the Audit and Risk Management Committee who meet at least twice a year and report their findings to the full Board. Their work is informed by the work of the internal auditors. the executive managers within the museum who have responsibility for the development and maintenance of the control framework, and comments made by the external auditors in their management letter and other reports. 26

Our objectlves are to obtaln 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'5 report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee 29
Mu5eurn of London Annual Report and Financial Statements Year Ended 31 March 2022 that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS {UK) wlll 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. EENT TO WHICH THE AUDIT WAS CAPABLE OF DEcNG IRREGULARITIES, INCLUDING FRAUD Irregularities. including fraud. are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilitie5. Outlined above. to detect material mlsstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.

Museum of London Annual Report and F5nanclal Statements Year Ended 31 March 2022 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS I ) ACCOUNTING POUCIES BA515 OF PREPA114TION OF THE FINANCJAL STATEMENTS The financial statements have been prepared, on a going concern basis a5 detailed on pages 22 to 23 and below, under the historical cost accountlng convention, with the exception of investments which have been included at market value. and comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Statement of Recommended Prartice Accounting and Reporting by Charities SORP IFRS 102. the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Irelandl and applicable accounting standards in the United Kingdom. The Museum of London is a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Golng Concern The accounts are prepared on the going concern basis as financial projections show the museum is able to meet it5 liabilities a5 they fall due for the foreseeable future. In reaching the conclusion on the ability of the museum to remain a going concern. the Governors have carefully considered the longer term impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and revlewed the forward financial projections to 31 March 2024. Governors believe that the museum has put in place a robust structure that. in conjunttion wlth the prudent reserves policyi will allow it to manage the foreseeable risks to the organisation. The accounts are therefore prepared on the going concern basis as financial projections show the museum is able to Meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future. The principal uncertainties currently facing the organisation are the prolonged uncertainty of vlsltor numbers post Covid-I g pandemic, securfty of future funding and. particularly in recent months. inflationary pressures on operational costs. The Governors and Executive Team continue to closely monitor the impacts. and believe that the organisation is in a financial position to help manage these risk5. The New Museurn project is a significant investment of £337m. and a key rnilestone is the London Wall museum closing in December 2022 to allow for the transition of artefacts. The project is funded by drawdowns in advance from the City of London Corporation. The cash outflows over the coming two years from April 2022 are expected to be circa £130m (although these are dependent on the programme and may change), matched against a combination of grant income from the City of London Corporation and the Greater London Authority. and the museum's fundraising campaign. Glven the current economic environment facing potential donors. uncertainty exists over these amounts. We are also reliant on the project being closely managed during this period to prevent delays and increases to the cost base for the project. Controls are in place to mitigate these risks. In addition to the above funding model. where we act as lead charity withln the terms of a Design Services Agreement with the City of London Corporation. income is received from the City of London Corporation in the month thai the consulianrs are paid. As lead charity we have procured and contracted with suppliers to provide design and other services relating to the New Museurn project which are then recharged to the City of London Corporation as set out in note 5 to the financial statements. The key factors in our going concern assessment are= The museum ha5 confirrned funding from our statutory grant funder5 until March 2024, although the position after that is le55 clear. The funders have a statutory obligation to fund the Museum beyond March 2023 and grants have not been reduced in the past, even during the helght of the pandemic. The museum is forecasting 2023124 funding of at least equivalent to 2022123 grants, however the quantum of the grants post 31 March 2023 is yet to be fully confirrned. 36
Museum of London Annual Report and Financial Statements Year Ended 31 March 2022 The Docklands museum will be open to the public 7 days per week, from l Oam to 5prn. ACE funding of £l.I m per annum for National Portfolio Organi5ation funding has been confirmed for the three years from 2023 to 2026. ACE Sector Support Organisation funding has bene extended for another year to 2022123. The museum has invested in its management capability and ha5 a Board of Governors that brings expert expertise. The museum has robust financial modelllng procedures that allow it to deal with changing assumptions. The museum's strategic plan contain5 a key objective to move to the West Smithfield site where the opportunities for growth in visitors and self-generated income will be greater after openlng a larger s5te across two market buildings. The City of London Corporation and CL4 have confirmed their commitment to the New Museum project through budgets approved by the Court of Common Council and Pollcy and Resources Committee, and funding is drawn down in advance against these approved budgets. Other factors of note are- The forecast project spend from April 2022 to 31 March 2024 is circa £130m Idependent on the programme> and will be funded by drawdown5 from the City of London Corporation. The going concern as5essrnent period largely covers RIBA Stage 5 of the project and break clause5 are in place for the construction contracts. None of the philanthropic funders have withdrawn pledges and National Lottery Heritage Fund has confirmed approval at Srage 2 of £ 5m. We have not drawn down or will not draw down funding that 15 philanthropically raised until the latter stages of the project, thus we will never be in the positlon of having to pay back donors. money Should the projecr fail. On the basis of the above and the assumption that grant in aid from our statutory funders (the City of London Corporation and the GLAI will be at least in line with 202212 3. Governors believe that the museum'5 robust structure, in conjuncrion with the prudent reserves policy explained below, will allow it to manage the foreseeable risks to the organisation. There is a risk that the Museum could require further fundlng due to an unplanned decline in visitor numbers to Museum of London Docklands and uncertainty over grant in aid. However, the Board has reviewed the Museum's cash flow forecasts and believes It has sufficient cash flows for the next twelve months. As such. the Governors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements. Basis of consolidatlon Consolidated financial statements have been prepared for the museum, which consolidate the financial statements of the Museum of London, Museum of London rfrading) Limited. the London Museum Fund, the Joicey Fund and the Mackenzie Bell Fund on a line by line basis. The consolidated financial staternents present the results of the Museum of London and its subsidiarie5 1.the Group-> as if they formed a single entity. Intercompany transattions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full. Uniform accounting policies have been applied across the group and have been applied consistently year on year. The functional currency is GBP Sterling. In preparlng the separate financial statements of the parent charlty. advantage has been taken of the following disclosure exemptions avallable to quallfying entities: No cash flow statement or net debt reconciliation has been presented for the parent charity. 37
Museum of London Annual Report and Flnanclal Statements Year Ended 31 March 2022 INCOME Income is recognised when the museum has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Event and commercial hire income 15 recognised when the event takes place. Donation5 are accounted for when the museum has entitlement to the funds. it is probable that the income wlll be recelved and the amount can be measured reliably.

Funds relating to the recharge of expenses las descrlbed In note 5 to the flnancial statement5) are accounted for when the Museum has entitlement to funds upon submission of recharge Invoices to the City of London Corporation. C) EXPENDITURE Expenditure is classified under the principal caregories of the cost of raising funds (costs of activities that are not in themselves charitable but which are incurred to generate income to support charitable activities), charitable activitie5 (costs incurred in furtherance of the charity's objective5. including governance costs). and other costs. Within the costs of raising funds are the costs of generating voluntary income and fundraising trading- osts of goods sold and other costs. The costs of generating voluntary incorne are the cost5 of fundraising and the costs of administering the museum's Friend5, scheme.

Expenditure incurred on charitable activities is subdivided into communications. programmes and learning (adult. family and schools education programme5). galleries and exhibitions. collections (conservation and curation) and governance (costs in connection wilh the constitutional and statutory requlrements of the museum). Categories of expenditure include direct and indirect costs. Where costs cannot be dlrectly attributed. they have been allocated to artivities on a basis consistent with their use of the resources. Pension financing costs, arising from changes in the net of the interest costs and the expected return on assets, have been apportioned acr055 the expenditure categories on the basis of the number of pensionable employees. Financing costs relating to interest payable on loan5 are included in the building maintenance category for purposes of apportionment as the loans are for building improvements.

Museum of London Annual Report and Flnancial Statements Year Ended 31 March 2022 FUND ACCOUNTING The museum's financial statements comprise a number of Indlvidual funds that divide into distinct categories. These are defined below. General funds are unrestrirted funds and cornprise revenue balances that have arisen and are available for use at the discretion of the Board of Governors in furtherance of the general objectives of the museum. The London Museum Trust (income elemenv is also a general fund, whlch, although the responsibility of a separate Trust. Is available for the general objecEives of the museum. Designated fund5 are also unrestrirted and comprlse funds that have been set aside at the discretion of the Board of Governors for speclfic purpose5. Fund5 representing the net book value of the tangible fixed assets of the museum not funded by loans are transferred to a designated fund to the extent that sufficient general f unds are available. Restricted funds are subject to specific restrictions Imposed by the donor and Include grants and donations for Museum of London major projects, Mackenzie Bell Trust and the Joicey Trust (income element). Restrltted Endowment funds - Jolcey Trust and London Museum Trust are trust funds in whlch the donor has provided that the capital cannot be converted to income (London Museum Trust - except by the approval of the Board of Governor5). FIXED ASSET5 Heritage Assets The Museum of London is one of the world's largest urban history museums and cares for over two million objects in its collecilon. The Governors consider that the vast majority of items in the collection would be difficult. if not impossible. to value. The collection includes social history and archaeological items With no obvious market value as well as many unlque items with no comparable sale records to use as the basis for valuation. Even if valuations could be obtained, the costs would be onerous compared with the benefit derived by the museum and the users of the financial statements. As a result, no value is reported for these assets in the museum's balance sheet. The exception is for heritage assets purchased since l April 2001 , whlch are capitallsed if the cost is greater than £3.000. Items in the collection that are capitalised are stated at cost but, with the exception of the Docklands property, are not depreciated as the amount of depreciation is regarded as immaterial due to their anticipated high residual value. The Museum of London Docklands building Is largely depreciated over 20 years. Tangible Assets Tangible fixed assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. All tangible assets with a cost greater than £ 3,000 are capitalised and depreclated on a straight-line basis to write off the cost over their expected useful lives. Assets under constructlon are depreciated from the year of completion. Frorn l April 2001 historic artefacts and inalienable asset5 purchased, with a value of over £3.000 have been capitalised. No depreciation is charged on these item5. Leasehold property including bulldings, Over 5-99 years., the shorter of the expected irnprovements. renovations and extensions useful life and the length of the lease. 39

Impairment reviews of tangible fixed asset5 are carried out in accordance with operational needs. Intangible Assets Intangible fixed assets are stated at cost. All intangible assets with a cost greater than £3.000 are capitalised and depreciated on a straight-line ba5iS to write off the cosi over thelr expected useful live5, typlcally l O years. G) INvESTMEs Investments in listed company shares. which have been classifled as non-current asset investments. are re-measured to market value at each balance sheet date. Gains and losses on re-measurement are recognised in profit or loss for the period. Investments in subsidiarie5 are recognised at cost in the financial statements of Museum of London. The unrealised profit or loss on investments is shown on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities. H) STOCK Stock consists of purchased goods for resale and is valued at the lower of cost and net reallsable value using the welghted average cost method. I) RECOGNITION OF LIABIUTIES Liabilitles are recognised when an obligation arises to transfer economic benefits as a result of past transactions or events. J) PENSION COSTS The Museum's employees are eligible to contribute to the Museum of London Staff Pension Fund (the Fund). which is part of a multi-employer defined benefii scheme called the City of London Corporation Pension Fund, administered under the regulations of the Local Government Scheme. Charges are made to the income and expenditure account based on the recommendations of the Fund's artuary. They are applied beeen the Fund's triennial valuations so as to include the expected Cost of providing pensions on a systematic and rational basis over the period during which the museum derives benefit from the employees, services. The current service cost of the defined beneflt scheme Is charged to employee costs over the anticipated period of employment. Net pension Pinance income or costs are included immediately in employee costs and allocated via support Costs. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately on the face of the Con501idated Statement of Financial Activities. A provision for the scheme deficit is shown on the face of the balance sheet.

L) DONATED GOODS, FACIUTIES AND SERVICES Donated goods, facilitles and services are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions assoclated wlth the donated item have been met. the receipt of economic beneflt from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP IFRS 102). the general volunteer time of the museum is not recognised. Refer to the Governors, Annual Report for more information about their coniribution. On receipt, donated goods. facilities and services are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market,. a corresponding amount Is recagnised in expenditure in the period of receipt. Donated fixed assets for on-going use by the museum are recognised as tangible fixed assets when their fair value exceeds the museum's threshold for capitalisation set by the museum'5 accounting policy. The corresponding gain 15 recognised a5 income. In common with any other tangible assets. donated goods held as tangible fixed asset5 are depreciated over their useful economlc Ilfe. M) CASH AT BANK AND IN HAND Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or openlng of the deposit or slmilar account. N) CRITIGAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTf In the application of the Group's accountlng pollcles, described above, the Governors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amou nts 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 year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year, or in the year of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future period5. Crltlcal Judgements In preparing these financial statements, the key Judgements have been made in respect of the following.. Depreciation is based on the management's judgement of the useful economic life of each asset or asset group. which determines the rate at whlch the asset or asset group Is wrltten down. Key sources of estimation uncertalnty The present value of the museum's share of the City of London Corporation Pension Fund Scheme defined benefit liability depends on a number of fattors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a variety of assumptions. Any changes in these assumptions. which are disclosed in Note 22. will impact the carrying amount of the pension liability. A roll forward approach which projects results from the latest full actuarial valuation performed at 31 March 2019 has been used by the actuary in valulng the pensions liability at 31 March 2022. Any differences beteen the figures derived from the roll forward approach and a full actuarial valuation would impact on the carrying amount of the pension liability. 41

This is due to their historical importance and their being held for the purposes of preservation and public education, As explained in Note l (Fl only historic artefacts and exhibits purchased since l April 2001 have been included in the balance sheet due to the impracticality of economically valuing assets acquired before that date. The Museum of London buildings at London Wall and Eagle Wharf Road are not heritage assets as their preservation is not an objective of the museum. This contrasts with the Museum of London Docklands building, a former spice warehouse, which is historic. and the restoration and continued preservation of which is part of the museum's objective. As stated in Note I IF) fixed assets are Stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner inrended by management. 51
