TRUSTEES’ REPORT
The trustees have pleasure in presenting their annual report for the purposes of the Charities Act 2011, together with the accounts for the period ended 31 December 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Mohn Westlake Foundation is a registered charity constituted under a trust deed dated 20 May 2016 and registered as a charity 4 November 2016.
The charity is controlled by the trustees (listed on page 1). Trustees are appointed by the Trustees from time to time in accordance with section 8 of the trust deed.
On agreeing to become a trustee of the charity, the trustees are thoroughly briefed by the existing co-trustees on the history of the trust, the day-to-day management, responsibilities of the trustees, the current objectives and future plans. Additionally they are provided with a copy of the latest trust deed and most recent set of financial statements.
The charity is managed by the trustees, with all decisions taken by the trustees.
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed. The trustees believe that by ensuring controls exist over key financial systems incorporating Coutts & Co’s systems and controls they have established effective systems to mitigate those risks.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The charity’s objects are:
-
a) The prevention and relief of poverty, hardship and distress, and the relief of those in need because of youth, age or disadvantage; b) The advancement of education for the public benefit;
-
c) The advancement of health and the saving of lives;
-
d) The advancement of the arts, culture, heritage and science;
-
e) The advancement of environmental protection and preservation; and
-
f) Any other purpose recognised as charitable in law, which may be regarded as analogous to, or within the spirit of the aforesaid purposes.
The Trustees shall apply the income and, in their absolute discretion, the capital of the Trust in promoting the objects. In order to further the charity’s objects the Trustees’ apply the income and capital by making grants to charitable organisations for the public benefit. These grants are made to organisations whose core purposes meet the charity’s objects and the trustees consider in making these grants the charity is fulfilling its aims for the public benefit.
In determining how the charity should pursue its objects, the trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
During the period under review the charity awarded new grants in furtherance of the objects amounting to £13,692,379 (2021: £8,885,272) with £115,332 (2021: 33,000) written back against awards in previous years. Payments against grant awards within this year and earlier years amounted to £10,550,530 and a reconciliation of the movement on grant awards is provided in note 17 to the financial statements.
The charity’s trustees invested its cash reserves during the period under review with Coutts & Co and are satisfied with the return from and performance of the portfolio.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE continued
FUNDRAISING STANDARDS INFORMATION
The charity does not solicit funds from the general public nor does it engage any third parties to act on its behalf in raising funds for the charity. As such the charity is not bound by any scheme for regulating fundraising.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Donations to the Foundation’s capital fund totalled £10,000,000 (2021: £10,000,000) from the settlor trustees. In addition £404,776 (2021: £297,116) was received in investment returns from the charity’s investment portfolio and bank deposits.
At 31 December 2022 the charity’s total funds amounted to £7,455,009 (2021: £13,278,167) with its reserves a deficit of £14,044,068 (2021: £11,037,813). The deficit on free reserves at the balance sheet date arises due to the timing of the recognition of liabilities and the transfer of funds from the endowment fund. Given the availability of the expendable endowment fund the trustees do not consider that the charity needs to maintain any significant free reserves although they recognise reserves may arise from time to time.
The trustees have continued their investment policy of holding funds in a mix of fixed interest securities and equities to provide income and maintain capital.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
The trustees intend to continue the charity’s grant-making activity in furtherance of the charity’s objects.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT
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;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
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 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 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.
APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR
During the period under review the charity appointed Blue Spire Limited as auditor to the charity. Blue Spire Limited have expressed their willingness to continue as auditor to the charity for subsequent financial years.
Approved by the trustees and signed on their behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Independent Auditor’s Report to the Trustees of The Mohn Westlake Foundation
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Mohn Westlake Foundation (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including 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 December 2022, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, 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 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 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 other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s 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.
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.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
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 (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees’ report; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees’ responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of financial statements which 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.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.
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 Charity and the industry in which it operates, we identified the principal laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements to be the Charities Act, and Trustee Act. We assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.
In addition, the Charity is subject to many other laws and regulations where the consequences of non-compliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance through the imposition of fines or litigation. As an investment and donation funded grantmaker there is a limitation to areas most likely to have such an effect. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence if any.
Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
-
Enquiry of those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims and any instances of noncompliance with laws and regulations;
-
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
-
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
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
Page 6
THE MOHN WESTLAKE FOUNDATION
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
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 is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/Our Work/Audit/Audit-and-assurance/Standards-and-guidance/Standards-and-guidance-for-auditors/Auditors-responsibilities-foraudit/Description-of-auditors-responsibilities-for-audit.aspx. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees 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 charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General information, scope and basis of the financial statements
The Mohn Westlake Foundation is an unincorporated charity constituted under a trust deed. The address of the principal office is given in the reference and administrative details section and the nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are given in the trustees' report.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to throughout the period under review, being the first period of account for the charity.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as shares. It includes dividends and interest. Where it is not practicable to identify investment management costs incurred within a scheme with reasonable accuracy the investment income is reported net of these costs. It is included when the amount can be measured reliably. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend and rent income is recognised as the charity’s right to receive payment is established.
Resources expended
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following expenditure headings:
-
Raising funds; these include investment management fees charged by the charity's investment managers
-
Charitable activities; these include grants to third parties and the costs of administering the charity inclusive of governance costs
Grants payable to third parties are within the charitable objectives. Where unconditional grants are offered, this is accrued as soon as the recipient is notified of the grant, as this gives rise to a reasonable expectation that the recipient will receive the grants. Where grants are conditional relating to performance then the grant is only accrued when any unfulfilled conditions are outside of the control of the charity.
Support and governance costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Governance costs are those incurred in the governance of the charity and primarily associated with the constitution and statutory requirements.
VAT
The charity is not registered for VAT and is unable to recover VAT incurred. On this basis costs are recorded inclusive of VAT within the SOFA.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in sections 521 to 536 Income Tax Act 2007 (ITA 2007), as such no income tax is payable on the charity's activities.
Page 11
THE MOHN WESTLAKE FOUNDATION
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Investments
Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with changes recognised in ‘net gains / (losses) on investments’ in the SoFA if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably. Other investments are measured at cost less impairment.
Where investments are denominated in currencies other than Sterling, transactions are translated at the rate prevailing at the date of the transaction and year end values are calculated using the exchange rate prevailing at the year end.
Investments held in foreign currencies
Where investment assets are held in a foreign currency they are translated at the prevailing rate at the balance sheet date and any gain/loss on exchange rate movements is included in the statement of financial activities in the other recognised gains and losses section.
Debtors receivable and creditors payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted income funds 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.
Expendable endowment funds are those which are required to be invested to produce income but which may be transferred to unrestricted funds at the discretion of the trustees in order that they may be expended in furtherance of the charity's objectives.
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.
