Chal￿5 Introductlon
The year ending 301h Ju￿8 2022 has seen the Charity continue to develop its chaTltable actlvilies across
the 88nefit Area of SW13, SW14, TW9 and TW10 throu9h grant-making, education support, charitable
housing, and capaGity building with local organisalions. Covid-19 consequen￿$ affected many rasidants
along wilh the onset of the cost-of-living crisi$ which we expect to continue at least and, quit8 possibly,
worsen. At a time of increasing requests for support from charitses slruggling to cope with more Complex
dgmands on their seNi¢es and resources. the RPLC team and Trustees strive to ensure that RPLC'S own
resources are used as effectively a5 posslble. Trustees freqLsently review the Charity's assets, to see how
test they can be managed in support of RPLC'S aims and oblectives.
It is worth emphasising that while there is a clear wish among Truslees for the Charity to optimise its
support of local organisalions and individuals, there is also an awareness that. a8 a pemianently endowed
Charity, its assets must be managed in 8 WAY that proteGt$ the ability of RPLC to continue its support over
the long-term. Balancing these short- and long-tenn pressures is a￿ayS front of mind for the Charity.
Following on from last yeals additional funding for emergency support l am pleased to say that over the
past 12 monlh$ we have not only maintained the 8merg8ncy support funding but actually increased it. For
the year ending June 2022 we have seen RPLC set another record of funding for charttable activities.

After the closure of our designated Covid19 funding projramme we reflected on how the changes in
process can improve our 8bility to support local groups. This has included streamlining our procedures
where posslble, focusing our monitoring and evaluation requirements, and incorporating learning into our
grant cycle to actively inform grant making decisions and strategies.
oneRiGhmond builds momentum and this year we were pleased to distribute grants to four org8nisations
who had been adversely affected by the Covid19 pandemlc. These were made possible by generous
donations and match funded by RPLC and Hampton Fund. We also made progress to build insighl and

from the Unapplied Tolal Return lo unrestricted funds in the year to June 2022 as there were sufficient funds
in the General ReseNes. In the year £2.6M was transferred to the permanent endowment fund.
Investment Pollcy

in 2017. In November 2017 RPLC Trustees agreed to adopt a Total Return Policy. therefore enabllng the
tharity to sp6nd capital rf required. This also allowed for a more diversifi8d portfolio with a better balance
between capital growlh and income. The target tolal retum is UK CPI +4.5% per annum.
The invesiment objective of the Main Endowment Fund is to produce long-lerm capllal and income growth
from a broadly diversified porlfolio of equities. bonds. property, altemative assets and cash.

The Trustees revlew the level of reserves and the reserves policy on a regular basis. Trustees seek to
relain suffici8nl general. unrestricted r8serves to enable the Charity to meet expected reGurring demands,
together with exceptional requests in response lo emergency need, during periods of falling investmenl
income. This has been sel at £0.5M - £1.OM. The year~end balance is £1.2M owing to timings of grants.
Grants VKII be made in new year that will reduce it in line with range.
Rlsk Management
The principal financi81 risks faced by the Charfty lie in the performance of invgslments, the net income from
property, the impact of the uncertain economic climate on property and finan￿81 investment valuations.
Trustees consider variability of Investment returns on the permanent endowment to constitute the charity's
major financial risk. This Is miligaied by retaining expert investment managers and having a diversilied
Investment portfolio. Operational risks indude those a$s￿lated with Covid19. remote working arKI the cost-
of4iving crisls, delivering effective granl and other Ghariiable support In the local community and managing
residential and commercial properties induding ensuring the health and safely of leaseholders.
Thè risk of la¢k of Gapacity to manage the various grant-making programmes is mitigated in-house by regular
oversight by Trustees on the Grants Committee. The office team are also in regular contaot with outside
groups such as London Funders, the Association of Charitable Foundallons. and the Association of Chief
Executlves ofvoluntary Organisations.
Trustees believe that its various polides and the approved Budget to 30 June 2023 provlde sufficient
resour￿8, for example in the form of liquid funds in financtal investment3. in the event of adverse
conditions or unexp9cled demand on resources. Truslees are confident that the Chariiy remains a going
concern.

**INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO TRUSTEES OF RICHMOND PARISH LANDS CHARITY** 

## **Opinion on the financial statements** 

In our opinion, the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the Charity’s affairs as at 30 June 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 

We have audited the financial statements of Richmond Parish Lands Charity (“the Charity”) for the year ended 30 June 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 _The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland_ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## _Independence_ 

We remain independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. 

## **Conclusions related to going concern** 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

## **Other information** 

The Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report & Financial Accounts, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The other information comprises: Introduction and Report of the Trustees. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent 

24 



## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO TRUSTEES OF RICHMOND PARISH LANDS CHARITY (CONTINUED)** 

with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. 

We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion; 

- the information contained in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustees’ Annual Report; or 

- adequate accounting records have not been kept; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of Trustees** 

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees’ responsibilities, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

## _Extent to which the audit was capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud_ 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

Based on our understanding of the Charity and the industry in which it operates, we identified that the principal laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements to be Charities Acts, 

24 



## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO TRUSTEES OF RICHMOND PARISH LANDS CHARITY (CONTINUED)** 

UK GAAP, Charities SORP, and tax legislation. We assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items. 

In addition the Charity is subject to many other laws and regulations where the consequences of non-compliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance through the imposition of fines or litigation. We identified the following areas as those most likely to have such an effect: health and safety legislation. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence if any. 

Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: 

- Discussions with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud; 

- Reading minutes of meeting of those charged with governance; 

- Reviewing on a sample basis income transactions recognised in the year to confirm existence and accuracy of the underlying transaction, in addition we have for all material income streams performed specific cut-off procedures to ensure income has been recognised in the correct period; 

- Challenging assumptions made by management in their significant accounting estimates in particular in relation to the assumptions related to property valuations and depreciation; and 

- In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls; testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, in particular any journals posted to cash and material journal adjustments. 

Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the Financial Reporting Council’s (“FRC’s”) website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report. 

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the Charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
