Order of Hermit Friars of St Augustine TRUSTEES' REPORT

The trustees present their Trustees' Report and the audited financial statements for the financial year ended 28 February 2022.

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (SORP FRS 102 effective 1 January 2019).

The Trustees' Report contains the information required to be provided in the Trustees' Annual Report under the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) guidelines. The trustees of the charity are also charity trustees for the purpose of charity law and under the charity's constitution are known as members of the board of trustees.

In this report the trustees of Order of Hermit Friars of St Augustine present a summary of its purpose, governance, activities, achievements and finances for the financial financial year 28 February 2022.

Registered Office 55 Fulham Palace Road London W6 8AU

Trustees

The trustees who served during the year are as follows:

Rev Robert Marsh Rev Stefan Park Rev Barry Clifford Rev Ian Wilson Rev Anthony Zabbey

The charity is a registered charity and hence the report and results are presented in a form which complies with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.

The Trustees use and rely on the following professional services:

Mission, Objectives and Strategy

Mission Statement

The charitable trust aims to support the religious and charitable works conducted by members of the Order in Britain and overseas. The principal activity is the parish work in four locations including leading church services, administering the sacraments, and providing spiritual and sometimes material, succour to those in need. The charity is a public benefit entity.

Objectives

The objectives of the Order are to further the aims of the Roman Catholic Church, mainly through parish work, teaching, spiritual direction and overseas missions. By the example of community life, the members give witness to the fundamentally communitarian character of the Church. Parish work in four locations involves leading church services, administering the sacraments, and providing spiritual, and sometimes material, succour to those in need. Teaching used to be conducted through two schools of the Province. One was closed and the other handed over to lay control and ownership some years ago. As well as in the parishes, spiritual direction is provided in a more concentrated way in a retreat house. Individual members may also be engaged in study, writing and academic work. There are no longer men working overseas, though the Province still supports the training of men in the Order in its former missions in South Korea and Nigeria, for which funds are raised in the UK.

Order of Hermit Friars of St Augustine TRUSTEES' REPORT

for the financial year ended 28 February 2022

Structure, Governance and Management

Structure

The Order is an international religious congregation of men in the Roman Catholic Church working in over fifty countries. It is governed by a Prior General and his Council based in Rome. Its members take lifelong vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. Most are priests, though some may choose to be lay brothers. Worldwide, the Order is divided into provinces and smaller circumscriptions. The Order in the UK comes under the Province of England and Scotland, led by an elected Provincial and a Council of four members, who are also the Trustees of the Registered Charity. The registered charity is a Trust and is regulated by the Charities Commission in the UK. The Provincial is the Chair of Trustees. There is also a Provincial Bursar and a Secretary. When a new Provincial and Council is elected, the newly elected members assume the trusteeship. Elections take place every four years and coincide with a Provincial Chapter, at which all the members gather to discuss the state of the Province and plan for the future. There are five communities in the UK, with a Prior in charge of each community. In exceptional circumstances a member may be given permission to live outside of community.

Review of Activities, Achievements and Performance

The four parishes under the administration of the Province of England and Scotland are well attended and provide spiritual sustenance on a regular basis for about four thousand people, as well as having an influence beyond. Twenty years ago there were twelve parishes and an independent secondary school in the Province, but numbers have gone down since then and more than half the membership is over seventy years of age. Currently, there are two men in training for the priesthood. However, numbers currently entering are not sufficient to replace the existing membership. As numbers decrease, there is a plan to develop one location, Hammersmith, where there is an active parish, to offer accommodation for retiring members as well as providing a base for the Order in the UK for the foreseeable future.

Financial Review

The financial results for the year are presented on pages 8-20. There is a deficit as shown in the SOFA of £306,395. The balance in the bank is £2,649,272 and in Financial Fixed Assets is £1,409,423. The Order therefore is financially secure for the forseeable future.

The Trustees have a reserve policy of the equivalent to six months' expenditure.

Results and Dividends

At the end of the financial year the company has assets of £9,770,813 (2021 - £10,074,704) and liabilities of £18,028 (2021 - £15,524). The net assets of the company have decreased by £(306,395).

In accordance with the Articles of Association, the Trustees retire by rotation and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.

Compliance with Sector-Wide Legislation and Standards

The company engages pro-actively with legislation, standards and codes which are developed for the sector. Order of Hermit Friars of St Augustine subscribes to and is compliant with the following:

Funds held as Custodian Trustee on behalf of Others

The charity does not hold any funds as Custodian Trustee on behalf of others.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT to the Members of Order of Hermit Friars of St Augustine

Report on the audit of the financial statements

Opinion

We have audited the company financial statements of Order of Hermit Friars of St Augustine ('the company') for the financial year ended 28 February 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies set out in note 3. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.

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 are independent of the company in accordance with ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and the Provisions Available for Audits of Small Entities, in the circumstances set out in Note 5 to the financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating 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 company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date 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 other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our Auditor's Report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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 with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.

Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

to the Members of Order of Hermit Friars of St Augustine

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' Report.

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

Responsibilities of trustees for the financial statements

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities set out on page 6, 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 they determine 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 company'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 management either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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.

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:

In identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud, we considered the following:

(i) The nature of the sector in which the charity operates, its control environment and financial performance. (ii) Making inquiries of trustees and senior management, including obtaining and receiving supporting documentation, concerning the charity’s policies and procedures relating to:

(iii) Discussing among the engagement team how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

to the Members of Order of Hermit Friars of St Augustine

Further information regarding the scope of our responsibilities as auditor

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

The purpose of our audit work and to whom we owe our responsibilities

This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members 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 company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP FRS 102 effective 1 January 2019) "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".

As permitted by the Companies Act 2006, the company has varied the standard formats in that act for the Statement of Financial Activities and the Balance Sheet.

Order of Hermit Friars of St Augustine NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

continued

for the financial year ended 28 February 2022

Incoming Resources

Voluntary income or capital is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity receives it. Entitlement to legacies is considered established when the charity has been notified of a distribution made by the executors. Income received in advance of due performance under a contract is accounted for as deferred income until earned. Grants for activities are recognised as income when the related conditions for legal entitlement have been met. All other income is accounted for on an accruals basis.

Income from charitable activities

Income from charitable activities include income earned from the supply of services under contractual arrangements and from performance related grants which have conditions that specify the provision of particular services to be provided by the company. Income from government and other co-funders is recognised when the company is legally entitled to the income because it is fulfilling the conditions contained in the related funding agreements. Where a grant is received in advance, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, it is accrued in debtors.

Grants from governments and other co-funders typically include one of the following types of conditions:

-Time based conditions: whereby the company is contractually entitled to funding on the condition that it is utilised in a particular period. In these cases the company recognises the income to the extent it is utilised within the period specified in the agreement.

In the absence of such conditions, assuming that receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured, grant income is recognised once the company is notified of entitlement.

Grants received towards capital expenditure are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when received or receivable, whichever is earlier.

Trade and other debtors

Trade and other debtors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts except where the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases the receivables are stated at cost less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.

Trade and other creditors

Trade and other creditors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method except where the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases they are stated at cost.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (original market value) or at valuation, less accumulated depreciation. The charge to depreciation is calculated to write off the original cost or valuation of tangible fixed assets (excluding Land which is not depreciated), less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives as follows:

Impairment of Assets

An impairment loss occurs when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. At year end, the trustees assess whether there is any indication that an asset is impaired. If there is no indication of impairment, then the trustees do not estimate the recoverable amount. If there is an indication of impairment, then the trustees will estimate the recoverable amount. An impairment loss will be recognised if, and only if, the recoverable amount of the asset is less than the carrying amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell the asset and its value in use.

Order of Hermit Friars of St Augustine NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the financial year ended 28 February 2022

Investment properties

Investment property is property held either to earn rental income, or for capital appreciation (including future re-development) or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business.

Investment property is initially measured at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure.

The investment property has been internally revalued this year using an estimate. The investment property was revalued by the friars by obtaining the sale price of a number of similar properties in the area from a reputable estate agent located in the Hammersmith area. The assumptions are that the market remains buoyant and that the economc conditions conducive to the sale of property remain stable. The investment property will be revalued at its fair market value at the end of the next reporting year 28th February 2023, by professional external valuers and will be subsequently revalued every five years.

The difference between the fair value of an investment property at the reporting date and its carrying value prior to the valuation is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a fair value gain or loss. Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Investments

Investments held as fixed assets are stated at market value with any movements included in the SOFA. Income from other financial fixed asset investments together with any related tax credit is recognised in the profit and loss account in the year in which it is receivable.

Debtors

Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. Income recognised by the company from government agencies and other co-funders, but not yet received at year end, is included in debtors.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand comprises cash on deposit at banks requiring less than three months notice of withdrawal.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from taxation under S505 Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand, demand deposits with banks and other shortterm highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within creditors.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

There are no sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. The investment prpperty valuation has been estimaetd based on current market values and is considered to be a reliable estimate of actual market value.

5. PROVISIONS AVAILABLE FOR AUDITS OF SMALL ENTITIES

In common with many other charitable companies of our size and nature, we use our auditors to assist with the preparation of the financial statements.
