## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** 

The Trustees present their annual report on the affairs of the LSEG Foundation, together with the financial statements and auditor’s report for the period ended 31 December 2023. 

The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements and the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2019) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK (FRS 102), effective 1 January 2019. The Charity is a registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation and governed by its constitution. 

As used in this annual report, “LSEG” refers to London Stock Exchange Group PLC and its subsidiary undertakings, including joint ventures and associates. The “Charity” refers to LSEG Foundation and the “Group” refers to LSEG Foundation and its subsidiary, TicketAid Limited. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The objectives of the Charity are to advance such charitable purposes (according to the law of England and Wales) as the Trustees see fit from time to time by making grants for the public benefit. In setting the Charity’s objectives and planning its activities, the Trustees have once again considered the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit. Funded and supported by LSEG, the LSEG Foundation helps people access economic opportunities and build a secure future with financial independence. Working with charity and NGO partners, it supports a range of programmes across the globe, which create opportunities for those in need to participate in education, employment, and enterprise. 

The Charity has a wholly owned subsidiary named TicketAid Limited which was incorporated and registered in England and Wales on 12 August 2019 and its registration number is 12150310. Following the closure of the TicketAid Limited online fundraising platform to future donations, all outstanding donations and funds from TicketAid Limited have now been distributed to LSEG Foundation. Henceforth, TicketAid Limited will operate as a dormant entity going forward. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

The Charity was able to receive donations amounting to £9,057,264 (31 December 2022: £3,851,852). The Charity was successful in making grants amounting to £4,269,872 (31 December 2022: £3,191,405) (Note 5). 

The donations contributed during the year were mainly used for supporting grants to existing charitable organisations and projects - £3,955,930 (31 December 2022: £2,946,817) (Note 5). 

## **Structure & Grant Making Strategy** 

Activity in 2023, focused on three pillars of activity: 

- **Fund** 

   - Funding high-impact strategic partners to deliver economic empowerment programmes across the world, through multi-year strategic partnerships. 

- **Engage** Providing grants and LSEG employee volunteering support to a range of regional and locally-selected charities, tackling the issues that matter most in the communities where LSEG operate. 

- **Convene** Partnering with a select number of non-commercial initiatives to help unlock the power of finance to drive a just transition to a net zero economy. 

In support of our central mission, LSEG Foundation also partners with disaster relief and specialist charities during times of crisis, to help communities respond, adapt and recover. 

To facilitate this activity, LSEG Foundation has a Board of Trustees, supported by a management team to run the dayto-day operations of the Charity. There are also employee-led regional charity committees and community action teams within LSEG to help identify charity partners and facilitate employee volunteering. 

The Trustees are responsible for declaring any potential conflict of interest with applicant entries, and in the instance that a conflict arises, the respective Trustee or Trustees will act in accordance with the Conflicts of Interest Policy and may exclude themselves from the decision-making of any application.

CORPORATE 

**Registered Charity No. 1182952** 

The management team oversees the day-to-day administration of grants and manages the application process before and after the Board of Trustees' review, and this delegation is operated in accordance with the Scheme of Delegated Duties, which is approved by the Board of Trustees. A scorecard approach for regional grant decision-making was implemented in 2022 and has been expanded further in 2023. 

The appropriate care and due diligence are applied to all applicant entities in receipt of a grant, including any crossborder transaction guidance on restrictions or foreign currency payments where necessary. 

## **Monitoring Impact** 

Following an application and finalised due diligence (KYC) screening, grant recipients are required to complete and sign a grant agreement, outlining the scope of the grant and engagement expectations from LSEG Foundation, as well as provide an invoice/donation request letter and proof of bank account. 

All charity partners are expected to provide impact updates during the term of the grant and are assessed against an impact measurement framework which includes the completion of an annual impact questionnaire and/or interview evaluations. 

This information is fed back to the management team and Board of Trustees and included as part of their impact analysis by focus area and region. 

## **Financial review** 

- The Charity received all its income from donations amounting to £9,057,264 (31 December 2022: £3,851,852). 

- The expenditure for the period ended 31 December 2023 amounted to £4,367,450 (31 December 2022: £3,243,571). 

- The net income for the period ended 31 December 2023 amounted to £4,689,814 (31 December 2022: £608,281). 

- • The total amount of funds the Charity has at the end of the reporting period was £5,311,848 (31 December 2022: £622,034). The restricted fund amounted to £6,464 (31 December 2022: £44,547) and the unrestricted fund amounted to £5,305,384 (31 December 2022: £577,487). No designated funds were held. 

The Charity disbursed grants amounting to £4,269,872 (31 December 2022: £3,191,405). No fundraising activities are conducted by the Charity. 

The funds received as donations by the Charity are in general classified unrestricted funds. The profits transferred from TicketAid Limited are in general classified as restricted funds and can be used for specific purposes, however the donations received from LSEG are generally unrestricted donations and can be used for various purposes as deemed necessary by the Trustees. 

The unrestricted fund is currently in surplus due to funds for year-end grant commitments not being allocated before the year-end. The Trustees will carry forward this surplus and allocate to future grant commitments. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Charity holds reserves in order to accommodate unexpected falls in income and increases in expenditure. 

It is the policy of the Charity to hold reserves (unrestricted funds less funds designated for particular purposes and tied up in fixed assets) at a level representing 12 months' support costs. This equates to a range of between £55,000 and £60,000. 

At the year-end, unrestricted free reserves were positive £5,305,384 (31 December 2022: £577,487), which is expected to fall back within target range following future funding rounds. 

## **Risk review** 

A risk register was set up in 2023 as part of the formal governance of the Charity, led by the management team. The risk register sets out the principal risks of the Charity and the mitigations/controls in place to manage these risks in alignment with the wider LSEG Enterprise Risk Management Framework. The Board of Trustees regularly reviews the principal risks to the Charity in the areas of strategy; operational resilience; people and culture; regulatory, compliance and legal; and financial.

**Registered Charity No. 1182952** 

## **Future plans** 

The Charity intends to continue its role as a grant-making entity and the Board of Trustees will hold quarterly meetings to oversee the day-to-day activity of the management team. Following the closure of the TicketAid Limited online fundraising platform to future donations, all outstanding donations, and all the funds from TicketAid Limited have now been distributed to LSEG Foundation. 

## **Going concern** 

The Charity's activities, results and future are disclosed in the Trustees' Annual Report. The Trustees have assessed the balance sheet and likely future cash flow plans of the Charity at the date of approving the financial statements. The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has and will continue to have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements. 

## **Governance and Management** 

LSEG Foundation is a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The Charity was registered on 11 April 2019 by Refinitiv Limited. Refinitiv Limited is the sole member of the Charity. There are currently eight Trustees. The Charity is a registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation - association (CIO) and the registered office address is given on page 1. 

The Trustees of the Charity who served during the period covered by this report and the period up to it being signed are listed on page 1. The power to appoint new Trustees is held by Refinitiv Limited. Trustees are appointed for an initial three-year term and may subsequently be re-appointed for a maximum of two further terms counted consecutively or non-consecutively, after which they must retire from office and may not be reappointed. 

The Board of Trustees have approved Terms of Reference and Schedule of Matters reserved for the Board of Trustees (the “Matters Reserved”) and a Statement of Delegated Duties for management (the “Delegated Duties”). 

The Matters Reserved include the key principles and matters reserved to the Board of Trustees to enable the Trustees to effectively govern the LSEG Foundation by making decisions at a strategic level (rather than the detail of day-today management and administration). Under charity law, the legal starting point is that all decisions must be taken by the Board unless they are delegated. 

The Delegated Duties sets out which management decisions, committee decisions, and financial decisions are delegated, to whom, and on what terms. 

The Charity does not have any directly employed management and does not pay any remuneration or fees to either management or Trustees. There is a Framework Agreement, which governs the relationship and working arrangements between LSEG plc and the Foundation and covers matters including funding and provision of resources. 

The Trustees’ Report was approved by the Board of Trustees on 20 June 2024, and signed on its behalf by:

## **TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT** 

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK”. 

The law applicable to charities in England and 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 for the Charity’s financial statements and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed; 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 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 constitution. 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** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of LSEG Foundation (the 'parent charity') and its subsidiary (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2023, which comprise the Consolidated statement of financial activities, the Consolidated balance sheet, the Charity balance sheet, the Consolidated cashflow statement and the related notes, 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' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) 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. 

This has been done in order for the financial statements 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. 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the parent charity's affairs as at 31 December 2023 and of the Group's incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure 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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 Group's or the parent 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 Auditors' report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual report. 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

CORPORATE 

**Registered Charity No. 1182952** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT** 

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 course of 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: 

- the information given in the Trustees' Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or 

- the parent Charity has not kept sufficient accounting records; or 

- the parent Charity 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 Trustees' responsibilities statement, 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 Group's and the parent 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 Group or the parent charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

We have been appointed as auditor under section 151 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 Auditors' 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: 

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: 

- 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;

CORPORATE 

**Registered Charity No. 1182952** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT** 

- we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the charity, including the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 and taxation legislation; 

- in addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations which do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the charity's ability to operate or to avoid material penalties; 

- we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charity and how the charity is complying with that framework; 

- we obtained an understanding of the Charity’s policies and procedures on compliance with laws and regulations, including documentation of any instances of non-compliance; 

- we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Charity through discussions with management and from our charity and commercial knowledge and experience of grant giving charities, assessing the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified through making enquires of management and inspecting correspondence available; and 

- identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. 

We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur by: 

- making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and 

- considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. 

In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls.   In addressing this risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: 

- performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; 

- performed audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business, and reviewing accounting estimates for bias; and 

- evaluated the business rationale of any significant transactions that were unusual or outside the normal course of business. 

In response to the risk of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: 

- agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; 

- we reviewed minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; 

- enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and 

- • reviewing correspondence with relevant regulators and the charity’s legal advisors (where applicable). 

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 noncompliance. 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. 

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 Auditors' report.

**Registered Charity No. 1182952** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Year ended 31 December 2023** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Charitable status** 

LSEG Foundation is a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The Charity was registered on 11 April 2019 by Refinitiv Limited. There are currently eight Trustees. The Charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered in England and Wales and the registered office address is given on page 1. The objectives and activities of the charity are set out in the Trustee’s report. 

## **Basis of accounting** 

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice “Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2019)” 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 period for the purpose of the financial statements presented is 01 January 2023 to 31 December 2023 with the comparative period being 01 January 2022 to 31 December 2022. 

The presentation and functional currency of the financial statements is GBP. 

Values are rounded to the nearest pounds. 

The principal accounting policies are set out below: 

## **Basis of consolidation** 

The consolidated financial statements comprise LSEG Foundation and its wholly-owned subsidiary undertaking, TicketAid Limited. The net income from trading activities of the subsidiary is shown in note 3. The results of the subsidiary are consolidated on a line-by-line basis. 

## **Preparation of financial statements - going concern basis** 

The Group's activities, results and future are disclosed in the Trustees' Annual Report. The Trustees have assessed the balance sheet and likely future cash flows of the Charity at the date 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, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements. 

The Trustees, therefore, consider that the going concern assumption is an appropriate basis on which to prepare these financial statements. 

## **Income** 

Income is recognised when the Group and Charity have entitlement to the funds on donor approval of final donation amounts, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, when it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably. 

## **Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings: 

Expenditure on raising funds includes the costs incurred in generating voluntary and fund-raising income. 

Expenditure on charitable activities includes support costs being those functions that assist the work of the Charity but do not directly undertake charitable or fundraising activities. Support costs include back-office costs, finance, personnel and governance costs which support the Charity’s activities. 

Grants are included in the statement of financial activities when approved by the Trustees and communicated to the beneficiaries. If a grant is awarded that is dependent on certain conditions being met, it is treated as expenditure and a liability of the Charity if those conditions fall outside of the control of the Charity.

**Registered Charity No. 1182952** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Year ended 31 December 2023** 

## **Donated services** 

Donated services are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the Charity, which is the amount the Charity would have been willing to pay to obtain facilities or services of equivalent economic benefit on the open market. 

Administration services are provided by LSEG free of charge and their details are as follows: 

|**Particulars**|**31st December**<br>**2023**<br>**£**|**31st December**<br>**2022**<br>**£**|
|---|---|---|
|Legal fees|14,104|16,131|
|Support costs|27,500|4,000|



## **Fund accounting** 

Restricted funds are funds subject to specific restrictions imposed by the funding authorities and donors. These funds are not available for the Trustees to apply at their discretion. The purpose and use of the restricted fund are set out in the notes to the financial statements. The Charity has no designated funds during the year. 

## **Taxation** 

The Charity is a registered charity and has no liability to corporation tax on its charitable activities under the Corporation Tax Act 2010 (chapters 2 and 3 of part (ii), section 466 onwards) or Section 256 of the Taxation for Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent surpluses are applied to its charitable purposes. 

## **Investments** 

The investment in subsidiary undertakings is measured at cost less impairment. 

## **Financial instruments** 

The Charity and Group only have 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. 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and bank balances. Creditors and provisions are recognised where the Charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. Trade debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. 

## **2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY** 

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 1, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. 

The Trustees do not consider there are any critical judgements or sources of estimation uncertainty requiring disclosure beyond the accounting policies listed above.
