**Annual report of the Trustees** Year to 31 December 2021
The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of The the year ended 31 December 2021. The Trustees have nd the Charity.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
The Charity was constituted as a charitable trust under its Trust Deed and was registered as a charity on 31 December 2010. Details of the Trustees who served during the year and since are given on page 1. New Trustees are recruited and appointed by the existing Trustees subject to their total number not exceeding seven. The Charity has no staff, the work being the Trustees give their time freely. No remuneration is paid, nor expenses claimed by any Trustees.
The Trustees are responsible for approving all grants and donations. They are also responsible for the management of day to day operations.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity objectives and in planning future activities.
The Vaseppi Trust was established with the intention of making grants for charitable purposes for the benefit of the public as the Trustees may from time to time decide. The Trustees have those grants.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
Over the course of 2021, the Trustees approved grants to a total value of £193,597 (2020: £199,900) to a variety of charities and institutions operating in the arts, education and healthcare sectors, among others, as shown in note 4.
## **COVID-19**
As in 2020, the activities were largely unaffected by the Covid-19 pandemic. However, certain charities supported by the Vaseppi Trust faced some disruption and sought additional funding. Following discussions with representatives of the organisations, we supported the Borne Foundation, Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust, Medical Aid Films and the Royal College of Music with additional funding during the year.

the realisation of investments assets and donations from one of the Trustees, Robert Cope, although this year the majority of donations were small sums received from other donors. Total income recognised in 2020 was £5,549 (2020: £11,873), which was comprised of donations of £5,334 (2020: £8,939) and exchange gains of £nil (2020: £2,934).
Expenditure in the year was £206,019 (2020: £214,381) as shown in note 3. Further details of the application of funds and movement in resources are given in the statement of financial activities. All assets are held in furtherance of the objectives of the Charity.

These returns compared to the total returns for the S&P 500 and FTSE 100 indices of 28.7% and 18.4% for the year. Although the investment performance lagged key benchmark indices, the Trustees consider that, in the context of significant outperformance over the most prior periods, the investment strategy has continued to meet expectations.
their absolute discretion for the period of 21 years from the date of the deed, instead of applying the income of the Trust in any year, accumulate all or any part of such income by investing the same and the resulting income and hold the same as part of the capital of the Charity without prejudice to their right to apply the whole or any part of such accumulated income in any subsequent year as if the same were income of the Charity arising in the current
accumulated reserves of the Charity are effectively an expendable endowment fund, being a capital fund in which both the income arising and the capital value can be spent at the discretion of the Trustees. This means that under Charity Commission definitions the Charity does not have any free reserves. In practice, the strategy of the trust is to accumulate funds up to times at which the Trustees wish to utilise the funds of the Charity in order to fulfil its charitable purposes. Accordingly, from year to year the Charity may either retain surplus funds or expend reserves according to its current requirements.

the real value of the investment assets and the purchasing power expenditure, the Trustees have set an amount available for grants, which is determined as a percentage of the investment assets of the Charity over the preceding four quarters. The Trustees monitor market conditions in order to determine the budget, which for the year 2021 was set at 4% of the average investment assets. In 2021, approximately 3% of the investments were made available for grants. The Trustees recognise that in any particular year expenditure could be above or below the budget, and will adjust future budgets to accommodate any such divergence.. The Trustees consider that the unrestricted funds of £7,445,494 provide an appropriate base from which capital appreciation should ensure that grant-making can continue in li

They have also identified the risk of ineffective grant making whereby activities of the organisations receiving the grants do not continue to benefit the public. The Trustees monitor the performance of the recipient charities, Charity, and the processes to manage them, are kept under review by the Trustees.
## **PLANS FOR THE FUTURE**
The trustees will continue to look for new opportunities to make grants available to organisations whose objectives are in line with the aims of the charity. New grants are likely and education-based organisations.

in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and the income and expenditure of the Charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charites SORP;
make judgements and estimate that are reasonable and prudent;

(continued)
- state whether applicable accounting standards and the Charities SORP have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Trust Deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the detection and prevention of fraud and other irregularities.

## **Opinion**
We have audited the the year ended 31 December 2021, which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the principal accounting policies and the notes to the accounts. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the Charity affairs as at 31 December 2021 and of its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
## **Basis for opinion**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom
Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
## **Conclusions relating to going concern**
of accounting in the preparation of the accounts is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on or a period of at least twelve months from when the accounts are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

## **Other information**
The Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the T material respect with the financial statements; or
- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
## **Responsibilities of Trustees**
As explained more fully in the T responsibilities statement, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charity ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

## **Independent auditor**
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the accounts as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these accounts.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect to irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below:
## _**How the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud**_
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
- The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
- We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through discussions with trustees and from our knowledge and experience of the charity sector;
- We focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the accounts or the activities of the charity. These included but were not limited to the Charities Act 2011; and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102); and
- We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of those charged with governance and review of minutes of
including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
- Making enquiries of trustees as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
- Considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.

(continued)
_**How the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud** (continued)_
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
Performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
- Tested and reviewed journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
- Tested the authorisation of expenditure;
- Assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and
- Investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
- Agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
- Reading the minutes of meetings of trustees; and
- Enquiring of as to actual and potential litigation and claims.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required
to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

The Vaseppi Trust **13**
**Principal accounting policies** 31 December 2021
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the accounts are laid out below.
## **Basis of preparation**
These accounts have been prepared for the year to 31 December 2021 with comparative information given in respect to the year to 31 December 2020.
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policies below or the notes to these accounts.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The accounts are presented in sterling and are rounded to the nearest pound.
A statement of cash flow has not been included in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice.
## **Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement**
Preparation of the accounts requires the trustees and management to make significant judgements and estimates.
The items in the accounts where these judgements and estimates have been made include:
- estimating liabilities and commitments in respect of grant giving; and
- estimating future income and expenditure flows for assessing going concern.
## **Assessment of going concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the Charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
## **Funds**
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
There are no restricted funds.
The Vaseppi Trust **14**
**Principal accounting policies** 31 December 2021
## **Income recognition**
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
For donations to be recognised the Charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid is recognised at the date of the submission of the claim.
## **Expenditure recognition**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the Charity. Governance costs which are included within support costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the Charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
## **Investments**
recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the balance sheet date.
The net asset value per share is deemed to be the fair value for the purposes of these accounts. The statement of financial activities includes net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals throughout the year. As investments are revalued throughout the year, no realised gains or losses arise on disposal.
The Vaseppi Trust **15**
**Principal accounting policies** 31 December 2021
## **Foreign currencies**
Assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the net movement in funds.
## **Debtors receivable and creditors payable within one year**
Debtors are recognised when the Charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
Creditors are recognised when the Charity has a present legal or constructive obligation resulting from a past event and the settlement is expected to result in an outflow of economic benefits.
## **Financial instruments**
The Charity holds basic financial instruments. The financial assets and financial liabilities of the Charity are as follows:
_Financial assets_ accrued income is a basic financial instrument and debt instrument measured at amortised cost.
_Cash at bank_ is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value.
_Investments_ all investments are classified as basic financial instruments and held at their face value.
_Financial liabilities_ accruals and grants payable are classified as basic financial instruments, and are measured at amortised cost.
