## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The Royal Museums Greenwich Foundation is a company limited by guarantee, with charitable status, incorporated on 22 March 2012.  The company registration number is 08002287 and it is governed by its Memorandum and Articles. 

The Foundation is a registered charity, number 1147279, and benefits from the relevant exemptions from tax on its income and gains. Its principal office is at Park Row, Greenwich, London SE10 9NF. Company and charity registrations are in England and Wales. 

## **Constitution** 

The Foundation was created under a trust to provide funds to advance, as far as may be exclusively charitable, the education of the public in the sea, ships, time and the stars, and their importance and relationship with people, in particular (but without limitation) by promoting or supporting such of the charitable objects of the National Maritime Museum as the Trustees of the Charity shall determine from time to time. 

## **Trustees** 

The Trustees who served during the period were: 

Mr N C L Macdonald (Chair) (retired December 2022) 

Mr J H Penn (Chair) (Appointed December 2022) 

Mr A C MacAulay 

Mr Antony Hales (Appointed Dec 2022) 

The Trustees generally meet twice in 12 months. During the year ended 31 March 2023 the Trustees met twice - on 10 November 2022 and 20 March 2023. All strategic decisions are made by the Trustees at their meetings but Trustees are also empowered to make decisions electronically and these are ratified at the Trustees' subsequent meetings. 

Elected Trustees are appointed by the Trustees (excluding any Nominated Trustees) provided the person is eligible under Article 5.3 of the Articles of Association. Nominated Trustees are nominated by the Board of Trustees of the National Maritime Museum, and appointed by the Elected Trustees provided always that no nomination shall be made at any time if it would result in the number of Nominated Trustees being equal to or exceeding the number of Elected Trustees. A governance pack is provided to all new Trustees as part of the induction process and training is offered as and when required. 

## **Public Benefit** 

The Royal Museums Greenwich Foundation operates for the public benefit through its objective to advance the education of the public in the sea, ships, time and the stars, and their importance to and relationship with people. In agreeing this statement of public benefit the Trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance. The charity’s objectives and activities are set out below. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The Royal Museums Greenwich Foundation provides funding to advance the education of the public in the sea, ships, time and the stars, and their importance to and relationship with 

Page 3 



## **ROYAL MUSEUMS GREENWICH FOUNDATION** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

people, in particular (but without limitation) by promoting or supporting such of the charitable objects of the National Maritime Museum as the Trustees of the Charity shall determine from time to time and (save for purposes incidental and ancillary to these objects) no other purposes. 

The Foundation welcomes grant applications from other charitable organisations. The Trustees of the Foundation may agree to grant funds to organisations provided the application demonstrates a contribution towards charitable purposes in any way connected with or calculated to further the Objects of the Foundation. 

The financial statements show net income for the period of £2,966,051 

The Foundation made grants of £40,000 to the National Maritime Museum to fund the costs of the _Astronomy Photographer of the Year_ , maritime research and special exhibition. 

There is an accrued grant of £98,000 which is the second tranche of approved funding for digital projects at the museum.  It is expected that this will be drawn down in 2023/24 

Since the Foundation was established in 2012, it has awarded and paid £5.9 million in grants to National Maritime Museum and National Maritime Museum Cornwall. 

## **Related parties** 

The National Maritime Museum is a related party to the Foundation.  Transactions with the National Maritime Museum during the period to 31 March 2023 are disclosed in note 11 to the financial statements. 

## **Investment policy and performance** 

The Foundation from time to time maintains significant cash balances pending receipt and approval of suitable grant applications. 

It is important to Trustees that these balances are suitably invested to earn returns commensurate with the objects of the charity and the risks which are acceptable to Trustees. Investments are therefore limited to bank deposits and short-dated investment-grade debt instruments where the volatility of capital values is low. 

The Foundation's cash assets are held in easy access or short-term deposits.  The balance was £7.72m as at 31[st] March 2023.  Investment income of £70,709 was generated during the period, a return of 1%.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **Principal risks and uncertainties** 

The Trustees consider that the principal risks facing the Foundation and their mitigations are as follows: 

|**Risk and impact**<br>**Mitigation**|**Risk and impact**<br>**Mitigation**|**Risk and impact**<br>**Mitigation**|
|---|---|---|
|1.<br>Poor management of funds leads to less<br>than optimum returns.<br>Managed through the Foundation's<br>investment policy which seeks to balance<br>risk with return and liquidity to grant<br>projections.|||
|2.<br>Poor control of funds leads to loss of<br>funds through fraud.<br>The Trustees contract the National Maritime<br>Museum to supply financial and governance<br>services under a Service Level Agreement.<br>As a public body the Museum operates<br>rigorous, and externally audited, financial<br>control procedures to mitigate this risk.|||
|3.|Failure to comply with the frequently<br>changing regulatory environment could<br>result in reputational damage or<br>financial penalty.|The Trustees request and receive good and<br>timely alerts and advice from their<br>professional advisors which are actioned<br>accordingly.|



## **Reserves policy** 

Annually the Trustees review and consider the level of reserves that would be adequate to meet future commitments of the Foundation, and likely potential commitments even if they have not crystallised. 

Currently, the Trustees are aware of another significant project that the NMM wishes to develop at the Royal Observatory, and for which plans are in preparation.  Although no grant applications have yet been made, and hence no formal commitments exist, Trustees consider that in the light of this a level of reserves of between £10m and £11m would be appropriate.  The level of reserves held by the charity as at 31 March 2023 is £10,569,389 (unrestricted) in line with this established Reserves policy. 

## **Future plans** 

There are no current plans to amend the structure, strategy or objectives of the Foundation. The Foundation will continue to fulfil its objectives through grant funding activities and the Trustees have continued to receive and consider grant applications since the financial year end. 

The Foundation does not carry out fundraising activities or actively solicit donations and therefore there is nothing to report in this regard.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **Going Concern** 

Investments are held in cash on deposit with major international banks. There are no paid staff and the cost base is low and kept under close review. Grants are only made from secured funds and commitments do not exceed cash at bank. On this basis, the Trustees consider that RMGF is a going concern for at least 12 months from the date of certification of these Accounts. 

## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities** 

The Trustees 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). 

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 of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards 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 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 Charity (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 prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The Trustees also confirm that they have made all necessary enquiries and taken such steps that they ought to, to ensure that they become aware of any relevant audit information and that they confirm that the charitable company’s auditors have been made aware of such information. 

In preparing this report, the directors have taken advantage of the small companies exemptions provided by section 415A of the Companies Act 2006. 

This report was approved by the Trustees on 8 November 2023.

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ROYAL MUSEUMS GREENWICH FOUNDATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Royal Museums Greenwich Foundation for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, 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 charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of the charitable company’s net movement in funds, including the income and expenditure, for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s 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 UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

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

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

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

## **Other information** 

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees’ Annual Report. 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. 

Page 7 



## **ROYAL MUSEUMS GREENWICH FOUNDATION** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ROYAL MUSEUMS GREENWICH FOUNDATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

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. 

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

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

- the information given in the Trustees’ Annual Report (which includes the directors’ report prepared for the purposes of company law) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and the directors’ report included within the Trustees’ Annual Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

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

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report (which incorporates the directors’ 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 by the charitable company; or 

- the charitable company 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 trustees for the financial statements** 

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 3 **,** the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ROYAL MUSEUMS GREENWICH FOUNDATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **Auditor’s 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 auditor’s 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 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: 

Based on our understanding of the charitable company and the environment in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to health and safety and data protection legislation and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011. 

We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: 

- Discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud; 

- Review of minutes of meetings; 

- Evaluating management’s controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities; 

- Identifying and testing journals, in particular journal entries posted as part of the year end process ; and 

- Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their critical accounting estimates 

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
