Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2022

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The ICMIF Foundation was founded by ICMIF which is a global representative body of the cooperative and mutual insurance sector.

Charities objectives: The relief of financial hardship, in particular in communities which are socially and economically disadvantaged and including those exposed to economic, social and climate shocks or the impact of conflict, by:

(a) supporting the development and use of affordable mutual insurance products

(b) educating the public on the subject of inclusive mutual insurance as a means of safeguarding livelihoods.

The Charity's strategy is to identify projects which are suitable for scaling up, it does this through initially a country diagnostic study and a country strategy development phase. Based on the learning so far The Charity has been able to create a project selection criteria, project development cycle and a governance structure to identify future suitable projects that would benefit from financial and technical support.

Public benefit

The trustees have had due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.

During 2022 The ICMIF Foundation continued its support of mutual microinsurance projects in The Philippines and India. Each of these projects delivered financial education, training, and access to mutual microinsurance protection to low-income communities. The current number of policies in force under The Foundation's projects rose by 899,675 to 3,194,671, which equates to almost 16 million lives impacted (assuming five individuals per policyholder household).

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

The ICMIF Foundation has facilitated the creation and development of mutual and cooperative insurers in emerging markets through technical and capital support.

During 2022 The Charity supported the delivery of mutual microinsurance to over 3 million policyholders through the provision of financial and technical support. This year project partners have been focusing on helping low-income communities to recover from the severe impact of the pandemic,

On October 25th in Rome, Italy, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the ICMIF Foundation signed an agreement to launch the Insurance Innovation Challenge Fund. The Fund, equally funded by UNDP and ICMIF Foundation will enable mutual insurance initiatives to strengthen financial resilience of people with low income. Four programs will be supported from this first round of Funding, each receiving 100,000 USD (US Dollar) over two years. The ICMIF Foundation will be the implementing organization of the program.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

The Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies are show on pages 8 to 14.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of The ICMIF Foundation

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The ICMIF Foundation (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet 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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

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 charitable company 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 Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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 where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of The ICMIF Foundation

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, 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.

5

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of The ICMIF Foundation

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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.

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:

We assessed the susceptibility of the charitable company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur. We also addressed the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls by;

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.

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 Report of the Independent Auditors.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of The ICMIF Foundation

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company'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 charitable company's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' 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 trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
