The Trustees present their report and the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31st December 2022. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 1 and comply with the Charity’s Constitution, the Charities Act 2011, and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” issued by the Charity Commission.
Structure, Governance and Management
Governing Document
The Honourable Company of Master Mariners and Howard Leopold Davis Charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation established under a constitution dated 24th March 2017. On 31st March 2017, the predecessor unincorporated charity (Charity no. 1127213) transferred its assets and liabilities to the CIO.
The Charity represents the present form of the amalgamation of four historic charities, being the Benevolent Fund (Charity No 207094), Education Fund (Charity No 313382), The Howard Leopold Davis Fund (Charity No 207095) and London Maritime Institution (Charity No 207087) which were merged in 2010.
Trustees
In accordance with the Charity’s Constitution, the following office holders of the Honourable Company of Master Mariners for the time being are ex-officio trustees of the Charity: Master, Senior Warden, Chairman of the Education and Training Committee, and Chairman of the Finance and Risk Committee. The appointment of new Trustees is vested in the Court of the Honourable Company of Master Mariners (HCMM). The Trustees receive no remuneration and no claims for reimbursement of expenses were made during the year.
Risk Management
The Trustees have considered the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces and confirm that systems have been established to enable regular reports to be produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to lessen these risks.
Trustees’ Responsibilities
Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period, which give a true and fair view of the Trust’s financial activities during the year and of 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;
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
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 which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. 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.

Independent Auditors’ Report to the Trustees of
The Honourable Company Of Master Mariners And Howard Leopold Davis Charity
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Honourable Company of Master Mariners and Howard Leopold Davis Charity (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31st December 2022 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 charity’s affairs as at 31st 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 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 annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information.
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
Page | 5
Independent Auditors’ Report to the Trustees of
The Honourable Company Of Master Mariners And Howard Leopold Davis Charity
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 (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 trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 2, 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.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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:
-
The Charity is required to comply with charity law and, based on our knowledge of its activities, we identified that the legal requirement to accurately account for restricted funds was of key significance.
-
We gained an understanding of how the charity complied with its legal and regulatory framework, including the requirement to properly account for restricted funds, through discussions with management and a review of the documented policies, procedures, and controls.

Inde endent Auditors, Re ort to the Trustees of The Honourable Com an Of Master Mariners And Howard Leo old Davis Charit The audit team, which is experienced in the audit of charities, considered the charity's susceptibility to material misstatement and how fraud may occur. Our considerations included the risk of management override. Our approach was to check that all restricted income was properly identified and separately accounted for and to ensure that only valid and appropriate expenditure was charged to restricted funds. This included reviewin8 journal adjustments and unusual transactions. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. The risk of not detecting a material misstatemeni due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detectin8 one resultin8 from er¥or, a5 fraud may involve Ileliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. A further description of our re5ponsibilitie5 for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at.. www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.

Notes To The Financial Statements
For The Year Ended 31st December 2022
1. Accounting Policies
(a) Structure
The Charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, registered with the Charity Commission (registration number 1172234). The principal office address is Honourable Company of Master Mariners, No. 1 The Rubicon, 51 Norman Road, London SE10 9QB. A description of the charity’s operations and principal activities can be found in the Report of the Trustees.
(b) Basis of Preparation and assessment of going concern.
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. They have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) Second Edition issued in October 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102 March 2018) and the Charities Act 2011. The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The accounts 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 involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) Second Edition issued 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 Trustees consider that there are no uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
(c) Funds Structure
Unrestricted Funds comprise those funds which the Trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor. There is a single restricted fund, the Education Fund, restricted to provide grants for Educational Purposes.
(d) 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.
Income from investments is recognised on the date on which the dividend is payable, or the interest accrues.
Income from donations is normally recognised on receipt, unless terms or conditions limit recognition until a later date.

Notes To The Financial Statements
For The Year Ended 31st December 2022
(e) Expenditure Recognition
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis.
- Costs of Raising Funds
The costs of raising funds comprises investment management costs.
-
Charitable Expenditure
-
Cost of Charitable Activities includes grants paid, and support costs including Governance costs. Grants payable are payments to individuals in the furtherance of the charitable objects of the charity. The Charity, in some instances, provides an unsecured loan to a beneficiary in furtherance of its educational objects. These are recognised as expenditure in the year that they are awarded.
-
Governance Costs
Governance costs comprise all costs involved with compliance with regulation and good practice.
(f) VAT
The Charity is not registered for Value Added Tax. Expenditure shown in the financial statements is inclusive of VAT.
(g) Investments
The Charity’s investments consist only of quoted securities. Initially they are recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on the revaluations and disposals throughout the year.
Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value.
Investments are allocated to Restricted and Unrestricted Funds at a set percentage.
(h) Debtors and Creditors
Debtors and creditors are recognised where, at the balance sheet date, an entitlement to receive or an obligation to transfer economic benefit exists and receipt or settlement is probable and can be measured reliably.
Debtors are measured at the expected recoverable amount and creditors at the expected settlement amount, discounted for the time value of money if material.
