## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT**
**PERIOD ENDED 1 APRIL 2021**
## **Our Aims and Objectives**
**Purposes and aims.**
**Our charity’s public benefits are:**
**Through its website, www.eb-j.org, catalogues all work created by the artist, his studio and by other companies. The website is open to all people throughout the world on which they can add Articles and Theses and Artwork for consideration by the Committee. Since there may be more than 20,000 works, the catalogue is on-going.**
## **Ensuring our work delivers our aims.**
**We review our aims, objectives, and activities each year. The review looks at what we achieved and the outcomes of our work in the previous twelve months. The review looks at the success of each key activity and the benefits they have brought to those groups of people we are set up to help. The review also helps we ensure our aim, objectives and activities remained focused on our stated purposes. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.**
## **The focus of our work**
**Our main objectives for the year continued to be the provision of the website to catalogue all work**
## **Financial Review**
**The charity was dormant in the period ended 1 April 2021. Gift Aid was authorised on 7 April 2021 and the Committee have embarked on an extensive programme to promote the charity.**
## **Principal Funding Sources**
**Any shortfall in funding is made up by trustees own generous donations. As a result, there is no significant drain on the financial resources of the charity.**
## **Reserves Policy**
**The trustees have examined the charity’s requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds, which have not been designated for a specific use, should be maintained at a level equivalent to twelve months expenditure.**

**PERIOD ENDED 1 APRIL 2021**
**________________________________________________________________________________________**
## **Structure, governance, and management**
**The Foundation does not have share capital.**
**Trustees are appointed on the basis of recommendation of existing trustees. A new trustee is only appointed where there is the full consent of the existing trustees.**
**Induction procedures require all trustees to attend recognised training courses to provide the trustees with the necessary knowledge and skill sets to comply with UK Charity Law. All the trustees bear the costs of such training.**
**Organisational decisions are made with the consent of all the trustees. For the smooth efficient running of the foundation, a project manager is appointed for each project from the body of volunteer support with a direct reporting line to the trustees.**
**Management meetings are used for discussions, brainstorming and risk assessment for new project ideas, fundraising concepts and to vote regarding an appropriate project for the charity to undertake.**
**The trustees can invest without limitation. The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. The trustees regularly assess and examine each operational and business risk to ensure that there are effective systems to mitigate those risks. Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects and to ensure consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charity. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity.**
**The policies adopted in furtherance of these objects are that the trustees may pay or apply the income, and if they shall think fit, the capital of the foundation to or for such charitable purposes whatsoever at such times and in such manner as the trustees shall from time to time think proper and there has been no change in these policies during the period. No distributions have been made in the period.**
## **Plans for the future.**
**The charity intends to hold events and execute initiatives to fulfil its objectives for the benefit of the public.**
**Responsibilities of the Trustees**
**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).**
**Company law 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period.**

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BURNE-JONES CATALOGUE FOUNDATION FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 1 APRIL 2021**
**I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 1 APRIL 2021 set out on pages 7 to 10.**
## **RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND INDEPENDENT EXAMINER**
**The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this period (under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act), as amended by section 28 of the Charities Act 2006) and that an independent examination is needed.**
**Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:**
- **Examine the accounts (under section 43(3)(a) of the 1993 Act as amended)**
- **To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act, as amended);and**
- **To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.**
## **BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT**
**My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view.’**
**In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:**
- **(1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that any material respects the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:**
**Proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006); and**
**Accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 394 and 395 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities; or**
- **(2) To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.**
