Structure, governance and management

The Burlington Magazine Foundation CIO is constituted by a Rules of Constitution document, dated 13th February 2020, and is a registered charity, No. 1187286. Its registered office is based at the freehold property owned by the Foundation, situated at 14-16 Duke's Road, London WC1H 9SZ.

The Trustees who served during the period were:

John Nicoll (Chairman) Professor Dawn Ades CBE FBA (retired 31 December 2022) Hugo Chapman Elizabeth Cropper Dr Gabriele Finaldi David Landau CBE Sir Nicholas Penny FBA FSA Jane Portal FSA Andrea Rose CMG OBE Desmond Shawe-Taylor LVO Dr Paul Williamson OBE FSA (retired 31 December 2022)

By the terms of the Rules of Constitution document, the Trustees are entitled to apply the capital and income of the Trust Fund for the benefit of any of the charitable objects, or they may accumulate the capital or interest as an accretion to the capital of the Trust Fund.

By terms of the Rules of Constitution document, the Trustees may at their discretion invest monies in the purchase of or subscription for stocks, funds, shares or other investments or property including the purchase of freehold property. The Trustees have the full and unrestricted powers of investing and transposing investments of trust monies in all respects as if they were absolute beneficial owners, and in addition the Trustees may invest the whole or part of the Trust Fund in the share of any company without the need for diversification. The Trustees have agreed an investment policy whereby the objective is to preserve the real capital value of the investments in the long term whilst achieving the maximum financial return on the charity's assets through a low to medium risk portfolio.

The Burlington Magazine Foundation CIO acquired by Stock Transfer Form dated 20th February 2020, fifty per cent of Burlington Magazine Publications Limited ("BMPL"), a registered company and registered charity, which itself has a wholly owned subsidiary, The Burlington House Fair Limited ("BHF"). Both of these companies are incorporated in England and Wales and can be contacted via The Burlington Magazine Foundation.

By the 31[st] December 2022 the net assets including the investments held and 50% ownership of Burlington Magazine Publications Limited were transferred from The Burlington Magazine Foundation Inc to The Burlington Magazine Foundation CIO. The accounts for BMF CIO list £1,140,584 as ‘Restricted Funds’. It is the understanding of the Trustees that this historical definition relevant to the US and no meaningful restrictions apply to these funds.

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to manage exposure to the major risks.

Objectives and activities

The purposes for which The Burlington Magazine Foundation CIO was established are the advancement of the education of the public in the field of art history and the contemporary arts, and in particular by supporting (financially or otherwise) The Burlington Magazine; the advancement, promotion and encouragement of research in the field of art history and the contemporary arts and the dissemination of the results of such research; the encouragement of the preservation and restoration of works of art and the promotion of the development and dissemination of preservation and restoration techniques for the benefit of the public.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BURLINGTON MAGAZINE FOUNDATION

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Burlington Magazine Foundation for the year ended 31 December 2022 which are set out on pages 4 to 14.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Foundation (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your company’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  2. The accounts do not accords with those records; or

  3. The accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. The accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1 Statutory information

The Burlington Magazine Foundation is a charity, registered in England and Wales. The charity’s registered number and principal office address can be found in the Trustees’ Report.

2 Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

2.1 Basis of preparation

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with Accounting & 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 2015) – (Charities SORP (FRS102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

The Burlington Magazine Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).

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

2.2 Income

Grants and donations received are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities in accordance with the terms attached to the grants or donations.

Investment income is accounted for using the accruals basis of accounting.

2.3 Expenditure

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis, and where incurred directly to further the Foundation's charitable objectives, is shown under the heading of direct charitable expenditure.

2.4 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets other than freehold land are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

Freehold buildings 100 years straight line Fixtures and fittings 3 years straight line

2.5 Investments

Investments are valued at fair value at the balance sheet date.

2.6 Foreign currency translation

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the day on which the transaction takes place.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Foreign exchange differences arising on transactions and on year-end translation are taken to the statement of financial activities in the year in which they arise.

2.7 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

THE BURLINGTON MAGAZINE FOUNDATION (CIO)

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

2.8 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments. The trustees seek to use short and medium term deposits where possible to maximise the return on monies held at the bank and to manage cash flow.

2.9 Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in a transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.

2.10 Accumulated funds

Unrestricted funds comprise funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the Trustees.

Restricted funds comprise funds which have been specified by funders for specific projects.

2.11 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.

The trustees do not consider that there are any critical estimates or areas of judgement that need to be brought to the attention of the readers of the financial statements.
