## Trustees' report for the year ended 31 March 2022 

## Trustees' responsibilities 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations. 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each fi nancial year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting standards and applicable regulations). Under that law the trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satis fi ed that they give a true and fair view of the state of a ff airs of the charity and of the income and expenditure of the trustees for that year. 

In preparing the accounts, 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 accounts; and 

- prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which are su ffi cient to show and explain the trustees' transcations and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the fi nancial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011, the relevant Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the charity's governing document. 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 examiner's report to the trustees of the Mona Hatoum Foundation for the year ended 31 March 2022 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Mona Hatoum Foundation for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of fi nancial activites, the Balance sheet and the notes to the accounts, including a summary of signi fi cant accounting policies. 

## Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner and basis of report 

As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Act"). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## Independent examiner's statement 

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

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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. 

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 March 2022 

## 1 Accounting policies 

## 1.1 General information 

The Mona Hatoum Foundation is a charitable incorporated organisation, registered with the Charity Commission in England & Wales (No. 1190151). The address of the registered o ffi ce is 70-72 Kingsland Road, London, E2 8DP.

The trustees con fi rm that the charity is a public bene fi t entity as de fi ned by FRS 102. 

The charity's presentational currency is GBP. 

## 1.3 Going concern 

The trustees have reviewed the fi nancial position of the Foundation and consider that the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. There are no material uncertainties in relation to the going concern status of the Foundation. 

## 1.4 Income 

Donations and gifts are credited to the Statement of fi nancial activities in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to the respective asset, receipt is probable and the value can be measured. 

## 1.5 Expenditure 

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. 

Grants payable are payments made to third parties in furtherance of the charitable objects of the charity. The grants are accounted for where the trustees have paid or committed to the grant without condition. 

## 1.6 Heritage assets 

The Foundation's heritage assets comprise artwork by Mona Hatoum and have been included at fair value as determined by the trustees. 

The heritage assets were acquired by way of gifts from Mona Hatoum. The trustees' policy is to retain, manage and preserve these heritage assets for the bene fi t of the public and future generations. 

Heritage assets are considered to have an inde fi nite useful life and have therefore been capitalised at their original valuation when gifted to the Foundation, and are not depreciated. 

## 1.7 Stock of artwork 

Stock of artwork is included in the accounts initially at fair value as determined by the trustees and subsequently at the lower of that initial value and net realisable value.

## 1.8 Key sources of estimation uncertainty 

Determining the fair value of artworks received as gifts requires the trustees to use estimates of market value. The market value is decided in consultation with Mona Hatoum and third party galleries, by comparing each individual piece of art to similar works that have previously been sold by a gallery or at auction.
