CHAIR'S STATEMENT
whilst the long tail of the Covid-19 pandemic remained an issue. this year has been marked by the
Museum's ongoing resilience and the start of recovery. A stronger and better future wa5
demonstrated by increasing foorfall in the final months of the year.
A good public programme greeted our returning visitors. The capital's global connections were
explored through London.- Port City, in partnership with the Port of London Authority. whilst the
craft talent of contemporary and historlc makers was showcased in London Making Now.
In December we were honoured to announce that HRH The Prince of Wales, now HRH The King. had
become our Patron. This followed a visit to the West Smithfield site earlier in the year where our
plans to create a New Museum are being reallsed through a prograrnme of major construction-
starting with complex structural works in the General Market. It Is thrllllng to see the building being
carefully returned to its original splendour for its next chapter as home to our Museum.
Funding support has brought Us closer to reaching our £40m campalgn target for the first stage of
the projett. focused on the General Market. with £35.5m pledged by the end of March 2022
including a landmark donation of £5m from the Garfield Weston Foundation.
Collaboration with our key partners has never been stronger, as we work with the City of London
Corporatlon. Greater London Authority and Arts Council England on shared agendas around
education. tourism. the climate crisis and iulture.

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!

racism through structural and cultural change. remains our priority. A key initiative was a
collaborative research projeci, Advanclng Equity. completed in partnership with Leicester

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..

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

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. IR35 Guidance.

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.

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)

which does not reflect future expected returns from the attual investment strategy. As the actual
contribution rates required by employers for each Fund are calculated using assumptlons set by the

as possible by looking at a more sensible long term cost assessment rarher than ihe artificial and
very short term assessment required under the accounting standard.
A report wa5 commissioned from the Actuary In June 2021 to compare an estlmated funding

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILrriES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL sTATEmEP￿s
We have been appointed as auditor under section 151 of the Charities Att 2011 and report in
accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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.
E￿ENT TO WHICH THE AUDIT WAS CAPABLE OF D￿Ec￿NG 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. The extent to which our procedures are capable of
detettlng Irregularities. including fraud is detailed below=
enquiry with Those Charged with Governance and management regardlng known or
suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud, Includlng actual
or potential litigation and claims-
reviewing minutes of meetings of Those Charged with Governance. Internal audit reports and
correspondence with regulators-
assessing the design and operating effectivene55 of controls and procedures relevant to the
preparation of the financial statements and the detettion and prevention of irregularities and
fraud, including changes to supplier bank details,-
reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to 5UPPOrting documentatlon to assess
complSance with applicable laws and regulations-
challenging the assumptions and judgements rnade by management for key estimates. in
particular the assumptions used to value the defined benefit pension scheme.
Identifying and testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, wlth
parricular focus on unusual account combinations and postings by unexpected users or
senior management., and
incorporating unpredictability into our testing approach through amending the nature and
extent of audit procedure5.
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial
statements, recogni5ing that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher
than the risk of not detectlng one resultlng from error. as fraud may involve deliberate concealment
by. for example. forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitatior15 in
the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations
is from the events and transaction5 reflected in the financial statements. the less likely we are to
become aware of it.
A further description of our re5pon5ibilitie5 for the audit of the financial statements is located at the
Financial Reporting Council's ('FRC's"I website at: htt

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.

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.

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

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 be￿een 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

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

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.

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 bet￿een the figures derived from the
roll forward approach and a full actuarial valuation would impact on the carrying amount of the
pension liability.

AI HERITAGE ASSETS
The hlstoric artefacts and museum exhibits at the Museum of London are regarded as heritage
assets. 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.
