Trustees' Annual Report

Year ended 31 March 2023

The trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023.

For the public benefit to promote the education of the public in the understanding, appreciation and development of contemporary and urban art in particular through

The main activities undertaken in relation to these purposes for the public benefit are:

Trustees' Annual Report (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

Achievements and performance

During the period, the trustees continued to purchase artwork. These are being made ready for public display. During the period, the trustees also actively looked for other purchases and commissions of artwork as well as a home to display the collection.

Financial review

The principal funding source during the year was an unrestricted donation of £408,625 (2022: £756,601). The charity did not raise funds from the public.

The charity incurred direct charitable expenditure of £165,274 (2022: £92,309) in relation to the acquisition, preservation and maintenance of artworks and support costs of £93,631 (2021: £31,853). It also made grants of £9,280 to individuals (2022: £nil). The grants were to help digital artists of all ages who are in the early stages of their career.

At 31 March 2023, the charity had free reserves of £1,344,666 (2022: £1,626,926) which has been calculated as the funds held by the charity less heritage assets and investments held for charity use.

It is the long term aim of the Moniker Foundation to create public exhibitions and to create an increased number of opportunities to share and feature the art, with public displays in 2023 at the Guildhall Gallery, Pitshanger Gallery and the National Football museum and with a larger exhibition slated for March 2024. Funds are being accumulated in order to ensure the long term security of the collection and to fund future projects that deliver on the aims to share the Foundation’s collection with the wider public.

At the current time the Trustees see no short or mid term risks for the Foundation. The Foundation is currently well funded and is able to cover its' administrative costs, donations and ensure investment in its long term plans. There are, however, always inherent risks in the price of art from an investment perspective and a reputational risk when supporting emerging artists. The Foundation Trustees act to minimise these risks by taking professional advice from our curator on art pieces in which we invest and in also working to ensure we are supporting emerging artists that have built a position of good standing within the industry.

Structure, governance and management

The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation and is governed by its Constitution dated 17 August 2020.

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that 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 applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the Trust Deed.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Moniker Foundation

Year ended 31 March 2023

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Moniker Foundation ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 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

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.

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 financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements 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 Financial Statements

Year ended 31 March 2023

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is Canalot Studios 208, 222 Kensal Road, London, W10 5BN.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

The amounts in the financial statements are presented to the nearest £1 unless otherwise stated.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue. The charity has sufficient cash to meet its planned activities for a period of at least twelve months from approval of these financial statements.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

There are no material judgements or estimations in the financial statements.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Income

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. Income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Heritage assets

Heritage assets are measured under the cost model and are initially recorded at acquisition cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Heritage assets relate to artworks. These artworks are deemed to have indefinite lives and a high residual value in excess of carrying value. It is, therefore, not considered appropriate to charge depreciation.

Investments

Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment.

Year ended 31 March 2023

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

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 the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
