## **THE LONDON INSURANCE MARKET CHARITABLE TRUST Trustees’ Annual Report For the period ended 31 October 2022**
The Trustees present their report along with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 October 2022.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **The purpose of the Charity**
The purpose of the Charity, as set out in its objects within the constitution, is to fund grant scholarships to students who are seeking a career in the Insurance and Risk Management industries.
## **Activities in the period**
The Charity’s agreement with the City, University of London and the University of East Anglia continued, with the Charity making payments to the institutions in accordance with the funding agreements entered into in prior periods.
Under each agreement, the universities are responsible for the award of the scholarships with the Charity having oversight of the chosen scholars to ensure that they meet the scholarship ethos.
During the year, the Charity didn’t enter into any further funding agreements.
The Charity raises funds by running an annual Golf Day, with the participants being mainly drawn from the insurance industry. For 2022, the main Golf Day sponsor was again Lloyd’s and the Charity is grateful for the significant support provided. Axa XL, Liberty, Aon and Axis also supported the day.
## **Public benefit**
The Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and will consider that guidance in their future activities.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial performance**
Under charity accounting, the cost of the funding agreements with institutions is reflected in the financial statements when the agreements are entered into, rather than when they are paid. Hence there is a large expense shown in the years in which such agreements are entered into, and no expense in other years. As detailed above there were no new agreements for 2022 and hence there is no expense relating to the scholarships. Details of the payments actually made in the year are given in note 11 to the financial statements.
Fundraising income of £60,830 (2021 - £76,105) relates to the annual Golf Day and includes entry fees, proceeds from the auction held on the day and sponsorship income. In total 22 (2021 – 23) teams participated. The cost of the day amounted to £31,183 (2021 - £35,005), resulting a surplus of £29,647 (2021 - £41,100).
## **Reserves**
No reserves policy has been set. Other than funding scholarships, the Charity has minimal committed outgoings and no staff or premises; as the scholarship commitments are all recognised as liabilities, the Trustees do not consider it is necessary to develop a reserves policy.
The Charity has built up reserves over its existence as the income generated from the annual Golf Days has exceeded the cost of the scholarships awarded prior 2020. In 2021, the Charity therefore expanded the number of scholarships funded and now funds scholarship at two Universities.
The Charity will continue to explore additional opportunities to utilise its reserves.

## **Future developments**
It is expected that the Charity will continue its activities in the same manner as in previous years.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing Document**
The Charity was formed as a charitable trust on 15 October 2019; its governing document is its trust deed, which was last amended on 20 July 2020.
The trust deed sets out the charitable objects as being “advancing for the public benefit the academic and/or vocational education of young people in financial need in such ways as the trustees think fit, including (but not limited to) by funding and/or awarding scholarships tenable by prospective or current students of the degree of master of science in Insurance and Risk Management at City, University of London (or any academic or vocational qualification awarded by any university, college or institution of higher or further education in the related disciplines of insurance and risk management and/or actuarial science as the trustees see fit)”.
The Charity was formally registered with the Charity Commission on 4 August 2020.
## **Appointment of trustees**
Trustees are appointed by the current trustees as a body.
## **Management**
The Charity has no staff and is managed by its trustees.
## **Risk management**
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the activities and finances of the charity, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate those risks.
## **Grant making policy**
The Charity doesn’t have a formal grant making policy. As detailed above, the trust deed limits the grant making activity to scholarships in specific areas.
## **REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION**
## **Name and Registered Number of Charity**
The Charity is registered as “The London Insurance Market Charitable Trust” and its registered number is 1190714.

## **THE LONDON INSURANCE MARKET CHARITABLE TRUST Trustees’ Annual Report (continued) Period ended 31 October 2022**
## **Names of Trustees**
The Trustees who acted during the period and subsequently were as follows:
Michael Paul Hammond John Turner (resigned May 2023) Mark Gregory Richard Dudley Tim Pritchard Douglas Markey
## **Fundraising**
The Charity hosts an annual Golf Day as its primary fundraising activity. Invitations to the Golf Day are extended to individuals known to the trustees and previous attendees rather than to the general public. Given the limited extent to these activities, the charity does not subscribe to any fundraising standards.
## **TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial 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 financial statements unless they are satisfied that they 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 period.
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 accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed; and
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which are sufficient to show and explain the Charity’s transactions and 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 Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the constitution. 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.

## **THE LONDON INSURANCE MARKET CHARITABLE TRUST Independent examiner’s report For the period ended 31 October 2022**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of The London Insurance Market Charitable Trust for the year ended 31 October 2022, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and the notes to the accounts, including a summary of significant 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 confirm 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.
