## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021**_ 

The trustees present their  annual  report and financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note  1  to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and "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** 

The Canterbury Programme is a Foundation Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) under the Charities Act 2011 and registered charity number 1186234. It was incorporated as a CIO on 8th November 2019 and is based in Oxford, England. The Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and present here their report and financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021. 

The objective of the Canterbury Programme is to support higher education through i) academic conferences, seminars, workshops, study days, and reading groups; ii) the awarding of scholarships to students of higher education institutions; and iii) academic research, especially in the humanities and social sciences. The Canterbury Programme aims to support scholars in seeking the truth through their various academic specialisms. 

The trustees have  paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

For the year ended June 2021, the Canterbury Programme has made significant progress in developing its programme of academic activities, and supporting students of higher education institutions, particularly those pursuing degrees in the University of Oxford. The academic research of the Canterbury Programme is at an early stage, though progress has been made through seminars and workshops, particularly in the humanities and social sciences, and through academic grants for research purposes. 

The Canterbury Programme held 13 academic seminars with guest speakers, four weekly reading groups for graduate students, and two "reading parties" (study retreats) of three to four study days each with graduate students, as well as two formal dinners with after-dinner speakers. 

In 2019, the Canterbury Programme founded the "Barry Scholarship" to provide full scholarship support for a minimum of two years at a time for graduate students enrolled for a degree in higher education and otherwise lacking funding. This has grown robustly, with 13 Barry Scholars in place for the year ended June 2021 (up from four for the year before). Students are selected for the scholarship by an independent Academic Committee made up of university professors. 

## **Financial review** 

The Canterbury Programme is in healthy financial shape and looking to grow operations on the basis of the generous support received so far. The charity's income for the year ended June 2021 was £ 1,271,018 (2020 restated: £1,949,431) . Expenditure was £ 961,978 (2020 restated: £65,997)  and the resulting surplus is £ 309,040 (2020 restated  :£1,883,434). 

Last year, the Canterbury Programme did not have designated free reserves due to its relatively recent incorporation and the need to first gauge the level of reliable financial support for its activities, especially unrestricted donations. Following a review of the level of donations and likely future expansions, the Trustees have committed to hold six months of administrative costs as free reserves, amounting to £60,000. 

## **Plans for future periods** 

The Canterbury Programme seeks to expand its activities to include additional academic seminars and study days for the academic year 2021-22. In addition, the Canterbury Programme aims to extend the Barry Scholarship for up to 10 beneficiaries per year, aiming to support about 22 Barry Scholars for academic year 2021-22.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT  (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021**_ 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The Canterbury Programme is governed by its constitution, which sets out its structure as a Foundation CIO. The Trustees form a board which meets quarterly, and oversee the direct operations. Trustees are appointed for terms of three years. 

In selecting individuals for appointment as Trustees, the Board of Trustees has regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the Canterbury Programme. New Trustees are introduced to the working of the charity and their responsibilities as Trustees are explained to them by the chair. Ongoing training needs are assessed and addressed as necessary and the Trustees are updated on any changes and developments in Charity Commission guidance during Trustee meetings to ensure they are fully aware of, and comply with, all relevant legislation and guidance. 

A CEO is appointed to manage the day-to-day affairs of the charity using authority delegated by the Board. Among other things, the CEO manages the employment of further members of staff in pursuit of the charity's objectives. The Canterbury Programme also benefits from a number of volunteers, most frequently in the form of student volunteers for running its events and activities. On occasion, academics also volunteer by delivering lectures and seminars free of charge, and by helping mentor students. 

The trustees who served during the year  and up to the date of signature of the financial statements  were: Dominic Burbidge 

Joshua T. Katz Kristen M. McKenna Luis Tellez Andrew J. Hegarty (Appointed 27 May 2021) 

## **Public benefit** 

The Trustees confirm that in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 they have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. They confirm that the activities of the charity are for the benefit of the public in general. 

The trustees'  r eport was approved by the Board of  Trustees.

## **CANTERBURY PROGRAMME** 

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021**_ 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

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 year. 

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material 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 operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient 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 trust deed. 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.

## **CANTERBURY PROGRAMME** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CANTERBURY PROGRAMME** 


## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Canterbury Programme (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 30 June 2021 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and the notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including  FRS 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 30 June 2021 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 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 _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 contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form 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.

## **CANTERBURY PROGRAMME** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF CANTERBURY PROGRAMME** 

## **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' r eport; 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  s tatement of trustees'  r esponsibilities, 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 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 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 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 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 company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our knowledge and experience; 

- 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 company. 

- we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence where applicable; 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. 

- 5 - 



## **CANTERBURY PROGRAMME** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF CANTERBURY PROGRAMME** 

We assessed the susceptibility of the company’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 . 

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 unusual transactions; 

- assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and 

- investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. 

In response to the risk of irregularities 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; 

- reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; 

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

- reviewing relevant correspondence. 

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 is available on  the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.  This description forms part of our auditor's report.

## **CANTERBURY PROGRAMME** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF CANTERBURY PROGRAMME** 

## **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 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 charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## **CANTERBURY PROGRAMME** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

Canterbury  Programme (also known as Canterbury Institute)  is a charitable incorporated organisation. It operates from 82-83 St Aldate's Oxford, OX1 1RA. The charity was formed on 8 November 2019 and these are the charity's statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June 2021. 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document,  the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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 charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The  financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the  charity .  Monetary a mounts  in these financial statements are  rounded to the nearest £. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **1.2 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. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity. 

## **1.4 Income** 

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. 

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount.  Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under  Gift Aid or  deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

## **CANTERBURY PROGRAMME** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

**(Continued)** 

## **1.5 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. 

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. 

## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets  are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. 

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: 

Fixtures and fittings 5 years straight line basis Computers 3 years straight line basis 

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities . 

## **1.7 Impairment of fixed assets** 

At each reporting end date, the  charity  reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any ) . 

## **1.8 Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. 

## **1.9 Financial instruments** 

The  charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. 

Financial instruments are recognised in the  charity 's  balance sheet  when the  charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

## **CANTERBURY PROGRAMME** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## _**Basic financial assets**_ 

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. 

## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ 

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future p aymen ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. 

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of  operations  from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_ 

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the  charity ’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. 

## **1.10 Employee benefits** 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. 

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the  charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. 

## **1.11 Retirement benefits** 

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due. 

## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount 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 where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. 

The timing of income recognition is the most significant judgement included in these financial statements.

## **15 Prior year adjustment** 

An adjustment has been made to the financial statements to recognise grant income in the prior period that had previously been recognised on a receipts basis.  This income is recognised once the trustees have been notified, entitlement exists, all performance measures have been met, the amounts can be reliably measured and it is probable the income will be received.  This has had an impact of recognising additional income of £ 1,649,018 in the prior year with a corresponding increase in debtors.  Overall, brought forward funds have increased by £ 1,649,018 . 

## **16 Related party transactions**
