TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
The Trustees (who are also directors of the Charity for the purposes of the Companies Act) present their annual report together with the financial statements of The Cagni Foundation for the year ended 31 March 2024. The Annual Report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the Company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
Since the Charity qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic Report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 is not required.
Objectives and Activities
a. Policies and objectives
The objective of the Charity is to provide financial support and assistance in the fields of education, healthcare and social services.
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees confirm that they have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit and in particular to its supplementary public benefit guidance when reviewing the Charity's objectives and aims and in planning future activities.
b. Strategies for achieving objectives
The Charity was established with a substantial endowment by way of a gift of investments. The strategy of the Trustees is to use all of the income generated from these investments to fund donations to suitable beneficiary organisations and other charities in accordance with the Charity's objectives. The Trustees meet regularly to consider suitable beneficiaries and give due consideration to applications received for funding.
c. Grant-making policies
Grants are made available to deserving causes at the discretion of the Trustees.
d. Main activities undertaken to further the Charity's purposes for the public benefit
The object of the Charity is to provide financial aid to deserving causes throughout the world.
The Trustees of the Foundation have complied with the duty in s.4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission in administering the Foundation.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Achievements and performance
a. Review of activities
In 2021, the Charity committed to a total €200,000 donation payable in 4 equal installments to Les Arts Decoratifs, a charity registered in France, to provide financial support to programs promoting access to underprivileged children to culture and applied arts. The balance of €100,000 remaining is scheduled to be paid in the next year.
€30,000 was granted in 2023 to Compagnie Double Résonance, a charity registered in France, to support the promotion of access to arts and sciences in remote rural areas. The balance remaining of €10,000 is unlikely to be paid by the Charity, but this is subject to confirmation from Compagnie Double Résonance. This is because the activities of Compagnie Double Résonance have changed during the year, and no longer align with the Charity's objective.
The Trustees fulfilled their commitment to ensure that all income generated from investments is fully utilised for charitable purposes.
b. Investment policy and performance
The Charity's investment portfolio is managed by J.P. Morgan Bank Luxembourg S.A.
Results for the year have been positively affected by short-term fluctuations in currency exchange rates and the portfolio has been revalued to reflect this. Income from investments has not significantly changed from previous years.
Financial review
a. Reserves policy
The Charity maintains a general fund from which charitable donations to beneficiaries will be made. As at 31 March 2024 the Charity had free reserves in the general fund of £36,775,180 (2023 - £35,269,720). The Trustees consider that a minimum of £100,000 should be retained in readily realisable funds in order to meet current and likely future commitment for at least the next twelve months. The reserves policy is reviewed regularly to ensure that the Charity balances the needs of current beneficiaries with the need to maintain capital to provide income for future beneficiaries.
b. Material investments policy
The principal investment of the Charity is a holding of shares in Apple Inc which is currently considered by the trustees to be a sound long-term investment. All other investment funds are actively managed by the Charity's fund managers with a view to maximising short-term returns to provide funding for beneficiaries.
c. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Foundation is supported by the income generated from its investments. The Trustees ensure that the financial position of the Charity is reviewed regularly and operated within a financial budget.
d. Principal funding
All current funding is derived from investment income generated by the investments held by the Charity.

d. Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees

The Trustees have considered the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and have reviewed those risks, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Charity. In view of the size of the Charity, they are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Auditors
Under section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006, Sopher + Co LLP will be deemed to have been reappointed as auditors 28 days after these financial statements were sent to trustees or 28 days after the date prescribed for filing the accounts with the registrar, whichever is earlier.
Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial . Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and 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 Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Disclosure of information to auditors
Each of the persons who are Trustees at the time when this Trustees' Report is approved has confirmed that:
-
so far as that Trustee is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Charity's auditors are unaware, and
-
that Trustee has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a Trustee in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charitable company's auditors are aware of that information.
Small companies note
In preparing this report, the Trustees have taken advantage of the small companies exemptions provided by section 415A of the Companies Act 2006.
Approved by order of the members of the board of Trustees on 8 January 2025 and signed on their behalf by:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE OF THE CAGNI FOUNDATION
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Cagni Foundation (the 'Charity') for the year ended 31 March 2024, which comprise the Statement of Financial Position and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the Charity's affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of its result for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006; and
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether 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
Page 6
THE CAGNI FOUNDATION
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE OF THE CAGNI FOUNDATION (CONTINUED)
required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Trustees' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Trustees' Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of Trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the Trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the Trustees' Report and from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report.
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement set out on page , 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's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures
Page 7
THE CAGNI FOUNDATION
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE OF THE CAGNI FOUNDATION (CONTINUED)
in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Our approach 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 Company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial 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 financial statements or the operations of the Company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation and data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation;
-
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and
-
identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the Company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
-
making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud;
-
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations; and
-
understanding the design of the Company’s remuneration policies.
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 journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
-
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 those charged with governance;
-
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and
-
reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators and the charity's advisors.
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 directors and other management 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.

Use of our report
This report is made solely to the Charity's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006.
