REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity’s trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (second edition) and Financial Reporting Standard FRS 102.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The object of the Charity is the advancement of the public education in the fine arts particularly through the formation and display of British sporting art; mounting loan exhibitions; sponsoring and publishing research on the subject of sporting art; encouraging and supporting young artists and students in the study of sporting art.
Significant activities
Despite lockdowns during the year the activities of the Trust gradually got back to normal in the year to March 2022. Three visits were able to be organized but research facilities were hardly available to be offered to students and other interested parties and no arts prizes were able to be awarded. The series of online lectures proved to be very popular, and these are also open to non-members.
The vision shaping the Trust’s activities remains the promotion and fostering of knowledge and the appreciation of sporting art through public exhibition of significant works, publication of research in the form of essays and support for young artists and art history students. In furtherance of these aims the Trust’s premises at Palace House, Newmarket continues to display sporting art throughout the ages with many significant loans whenever possible.
Public benefit
The Trust’s activities are reviewed each year to ensure they continue to reflect and further its aims and objectives. In planning activities the Trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission;s guidance on public benefit. Primarily the public benefits arise from the preservation and conservation of this important genre of British art. Additionally, admission to the Trust’s galleries and research facilities in our Library of some 3,500 volumes and extensive archive material is available to all members of the public and research facilities are offered free to students.
Members of the public were able to view our exhibitions and use the library when the facilities were able to be open.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BRITISH SPORTING ART TRUST
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The British Sporting Art Trust (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2022 on pages eight to twenty one. 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 March 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the period 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 Auditors 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 its 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 cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date 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.
Page 6
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BRITISH SPORTING ART TRUST
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and 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 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.
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustee’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 ) Regulation 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; 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 set out on page five, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the 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.
Our 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 responsibility is to audit the financial statements in accordance with relevant legal and regulatory requirements and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland).
We report to you our opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view and are prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. We also report to you if, in our opinion, the information given in the Report of the Trustees is not consistent with the financial statements, if the charity has not kept sufficient accounting records, if the financial statements are not in agreement with those accounting records or if we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
We read the Report of the Trustees and consider the implications for our report if we become aware of any apparent misstatements within it.
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
Page 7
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BRITISH SPORTING ART TRUST
respect of irregularities , including fraud. 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 misstatements in respect of irregularities , including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations , was as follows: the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations:
-
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through discussions with trustees our knowledge and experience of the charity’s sector:
-
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or operations of the charity:
-
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified through making enquiries of management :
-
we assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining of how fraud might occur, by:
-
making enquiries of management as to their knowledge of actual , suspected and alleged fraud:
-
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
-
to address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
-
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships:
-
tested journal entries to identify transactions and investigated the rationale behind them:
-
in response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with the laws and regulations , we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
-
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation :
-
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims;
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 trustees 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.

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.
