Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 December 2022

Statement of Trustees Responsibilities

The Charities Act requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity and of its financial position at the year end. In preparing the financial statements the Trustees should follow best practice and select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently. They should make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent and prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with Charities SORP (FRS 102) – Accounting and Reporting by Charities. The Trustees 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.

Notes on the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022

1 Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) – Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice and applicable United Kingdom law and accounting standards.

The Horseferry Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, and in accordance with applicable accounting standards.

Going concern

The Trustees considers that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Fund accounting

All income and expenditure is taken to the General Fund. The Horseferry Foundation has no designated or restricted purpose funds.

Incoming resources

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured with sufficient accuracy.

Resources expended

Liabilities are recognised as resources expended as soon as there is an obligation to committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis.

Charitable support costs have not been allocated to specific expenditure. A large proportion of these costs are accounted for by work given freely by the Trustees. To attempt to cost this would be uneconomic to any benefit obtained.

Restatement of 2021 accounts

The 2021 accounts have been restated to include a donation of shares in Horseferry Trading Pte Ltd in August 2021.

Independent examiner’s report

To the members of The Horseferry Foundation, I report on the accounts of the

charitable incorporated organisation for the year ended 31 December 2022, which are set out on pages 3 to 7.

Respective duties of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is required.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner’s report

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 such matters.

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
