## **Trustees' report For the year ended 31 March 2022** 

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Zen Trust CIO for the year ended 31 March 2022. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

## **a. Policies and objectives** 

The objectives of the charity is to advance the Zen Buddhist religion and to promote instruction and teaching thereof for the benefit of the public. 

## **b. Main activities undertaken to further the charity's purposes for the public benefit** 

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the charity commission relating to public benefit. The main activities of the charity are publishing, the holding of classes for both beginners and advanced students, and the provision of opportunities for both sets of individuals to undergo periods of retreat and residential training at our two properties and at other places. The Trust owns two properties where both these and regular classes take place. 

## **c. Volunteers** 

The charity has no employees and is run by volunteers. The trustees would like to thank all volunteers for the time they have devoted to the charity during the year. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## **a. Review of activities** 

During the year, we gradually returned to holding classes in person and also hybrid classes (with attendance in person and on Zoom). With the success of classes on Zoom during the pandemic, we will continue with classes in person, on zoom and hybrid classes. 

The Trust had net income after expenses of £58,120 which is well above the previous year and this is mainly due to two legacies received by the Charity for which the trustees are very grateful. 

## **b. Investment policy and performance** 

The Trust aims to invest in such a way as to minimise risk while making the maximum returns available with this conservative investment approach. 

## **Financial review** 

## **a. Going concern** 

After making appropriate enquiries and having given due consideration to the impact of COVID-19, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. 

## **b. Reserves policy** 

The Trust owns and administers two properties where retreats and regular classes are held. These were donated to the charity by The Zen Trust (charity number 272496, which is the predecessor of the current charity) in 2017. Both properties are over 100 years old and one is grade 2 listed. The cost of maintaining and periodic repairs to these properties requires the Trust to maintain suitable reserves. At the end of the year free reserves were £791,937 (2021: £713,781). 

## **c. Principal funding** 

The principal funding sources are from donations, subscriptions, income from retreats and the sale of publications. The trust also occasionally receives legacies.

**The Zen Trust** 

## **Independent examiner's report For the year ended 31 March 2022** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of The Zen Trust ('the Charity')** 

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn. 

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. 

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. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

**The Zen Trust** 

## **Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 March 2022** 

## **1. General information** 

The charity is a charitable incorporated organisation registered in England and Wales. 

The registered office and principal place of business of the charity is: 

58 Marlborough Place London NW8 0PL 

## **2. Accounting policies** 

## **2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. 

The Zen Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. 

The accounts have been prepared in Sterling and are rounded to the nearest £1. 

## **2.2 Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

Whilst the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been assessed by the trustees, so far as is reasonably possible, due to its unprecedented impact on the worldwide economy it is difficult to evaluate with any certainty the potential outcomes on the charity's future activities. However, taking into consideration the charity's level of reserves, the trustees believe that the charity will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

**The Zen Trust** 

## **Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 March 2022** 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **2.3 Income** 

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 legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material. 

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

## **2.4 Expenditure** 

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. 

Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the charity's operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity. 

## **2.5 Interest receivable** 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited. 

## **2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation. 

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on a reducing balance basis. 

Motor vehicles - 20% reducing balance - Fixtures and fittings 15% reducing balance 

## **2.7 Freehold properties - Temples** 

Freehold properties are included at valuation as at 13 March 2017. 

Freehold properties are not depreciated. In no case is the estimated useful life of the building less than fifty years and the estimated value is likely to be more than the amount at which the properties are carried in the balance sheet. Any depreciation would, therefore, be immaterial and no provision has been made in the financial statements.

**The Zen Trust** 

## **Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 March 2022** 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **2.8 Investments** 

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of financial activities. 

## **2.9 Stocks** 

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. 

## **2.10 Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid. 

## **2.11 Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and 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 opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## **2.12 Liabilities and provisions** 

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. 

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. 

## **2.13 Financial instruments** 

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## **2.14 Fund accounting** 

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. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
