TO THE TRUSTEE OF THE CARROLL-MARX CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Carroll-Marx Charitable Foundation (“the Foundation”) for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the Trustee of the Foundation 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 Foundation’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 which gives me cause to believe, in any material respect that:

the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did 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.

THE CARROLL-MARX CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31st December 2022
1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the Trust's financial statements:-
Accounting Convention
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 (“the Charities SORP (FRS102)”) and The Charities Act 2011.
The Carroll-Marx Charitable Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
Going Concern
In the opinion of the Trustee the foundation is able to settle all its obligations as they fall due, and to meet its charitable objectives for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the accounts have been prepared on the basis of a going concern.
Basic financial instruments
The trust only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, and loans from or to banks and related parties. Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other debtors and creditors, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration, expected to be paid.
Investments
Investments are a form of basic financial instrument. Fixed asset investments are initially recognised at their transaction value and are subsequently measured at their fair value (market value) as at the balance sheet date. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year. Quoted stocks and shares are included in the Balance Sheet at the current market value quoted by the investment analyst, excluding dividends. Other investments are included at the trustee’s best estimate of market value.
Creditors
Creditors are amounts owed by the trust. They are measured at the amount that the trust expects to have to pay to settle the debt.

4. INVESTMENT RISK
The main form of risk faced by the charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, volatility in yield and the attitude of the trustee to investment risk. The trust is reliant on dividend yield in part to finance its work, however, as investments are held in sterling, the trust is not exposed to exchange rate risk. The trust manages investment risk by retaining an investment manager and operating an investment policy. The trust does not make use of derivatives and similar complex financial instruments as the trustees view is that investments are held for their longer term yield total return and that any volatility over a long term period is usually corrected.
