THE JOSEPH STRONG FRAZER TRUST

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022

The trustees have pleasure in presenting their report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2022. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on pages 12 to 14 and comply with the charity's trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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.

Structure, governance and management

Governing document

The Joseph Strong Frazer Trust is registered with the Charity Commission and its governing instrument is the trust deed dated 29 December 1939.

Appointment of trustees

The board of trustees is responsible for the appointment of trustees, their tenure of office and the election of the chairman.

Mr R M H Read was appointed Chairman at a trustees’ meeting on 20 September 2022, following the death of Sir W Antony Reardon Smith Bt.

Induction and training of trustees

New trustees are briefed on the powers and responsibilities of the trustees, the grant making process, investments and the recent financial performance of the charity.

Organisation

The charity is managed by the trustees who normally meet twice a year. At these meetings, the trustees consider the key operational areas of grant making, investment, reserves and risk management.

Risk management

The trustees have carried out a detailed risk assessment to identify the major governance, financial, operational and compliance risks which the charity faces and this is reviewed each year. Procedures have been established to enable the trustees to monitor and mitigate those risks.

Objectives and activities

The objects of the Trust are to retain its capital in perpetuity and to apply its income to grant making. In planning and carrying out the Trust’s activities for the year, the trustees have considered the guidance produced by the Charity Commission on public benefit and are confident that this is achieved through the grants made.

THE JOSEPH STRONG FRAZER TRUST

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022

Grant making policy

Under the trust deed, the trustees have power to apply the income of the Trust to, or for, such charitable institutions or other charitable objects or other charitable purposes as they, in their absolute discretion, select.

It is the aim of the trustees to support a very wide number of good causes and charitable objects and make best use of the Trust’s resources. Applications for grants are considered by the trustees and distributions are made where it is thought most appropriate and effective, to organisations within England and Wales.

Achievements and performance

An analysis of grants made during the year is set out in note 4 to the financial statements.

Financial review

The income and expenditure of the Trust are shown in the statement of financial activities on page 9.

The principal source of unrestricted income comprised dividends and interest of £455,509 (2021: £512,212) from the investment portfolio. The remainder came from rental income of £137,773 (2021: £136,123) from the portfolio of residential and commercial property.

Investment policy and performance

The trust deed permits the charity's money to be invested in any investments in any location as the trustees shall in their absolute discretion think fit. The investment strategy is set by the trustees, who consider the income requirements, the risk profile and the investment advisers' view of economic and market conditions.

The investment objectives are to obtain a balanced return from capital growth and income. The trustees wish to preserve the real value of the portfolio in the long-term and to provide an adequate level of income to meet distributions by the charity. The investment policy is reviewed periodically.

The total deficit on the investment portfolio, net of investment fees and charges, reported by the investment managers over the year was 6% (2021 a return of 17%).

Reserves policy

It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted income funds not invested in fixed assets (the free reserves) at an appropriate level to ensure that governance costs and other expenditure can be met out of undistributed investment income. The target level of reserves has been set at £100,000.

Free reserves at 30 September 2022 were £627,564 (2021: £654,100), which the trustees consider to be appropriate in view of the £236,750 of charitable distributions agreed by the trustees in November 2022. The trustees review both the policy and the reserves position on a regular basis.

Plans for the future

The charity plans to continue to make grants to beneficiaries over a very wide range of charitable sectors.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022

Statement of trustees’ responsibilities

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

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which 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 year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that 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 Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. 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.

In so far as the board of trustees is aware:

On behalf of the trustees

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF

THE JOSEPH STRONG FRAZER TRUST

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Joseph Strong Frazer Trust, for the year ended 30 September 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 United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

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 charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are 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. 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 Trust’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.

-5-

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF

THE JOSEPH STRONG FRAZER TRUST

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the report of the trustees, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 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 (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 4, 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 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 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 to do so.

-6-

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF

THE JOSEPH STRONG FRAZER TRUST

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.

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 Trust and discussions with the trustees, we considered that the most significant laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the financial statements are FRS 102, the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Account and Reports) Regulations 2008 and UK tax legislation.

As part of the engagement team discussion about the susceptibility of the Trust’s financial statements to material misstatement due to fraud, we did not identify any areas with an increased risk.

Our audit procedures were designed to respond to identified risks, including non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud, which may have a material effect on the financial statements. Our audit procedures included but were not limited to:

-7-

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF

THE JOSEPH STRONG FRAZER TRUST

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements of the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK).

The potential effects of inherent limitations are particularly significant in the case of misstatement resulting from fraud because fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal controls.

The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with those charged with governance.

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

Use of the audit report

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an independent 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 charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Armstrong Watson Audit Limited Statutory Auditor One Strawberry Lane Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 4BX Date: 25 April 2023

Armstrong Watson Audit Limited is eligible for appointment as auditor of the charity by virtue of its eligibility for appointment as auditor under Section 1212 of the Companies Act 2006.

THE JOSEPH STRONG FRAZER TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022

1 Accounting policies

a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless stated otherwise. 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 Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (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) rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005, which has since been withdrawn.

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

b) Preparation of financial statements on a going concern basis

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Trust's ability to continue as a going concern.

c) Fund accounting

i) Income fund

The income fund is credited with the investment income arising from the Trust's investments and is charged with charitable distributions made by the Trust, costs of raising funds and support and governance costs. Any surplus on the income fund is carried forward and is available for future distribution.

ii) Capital fund

The capital fund represents the endowed funds from the will trust of J S Frazer deceased together with the accumulated surpluses arising from the active management of the investments.

d) Fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are included in the accounts at their historical cost.

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of the assets over their expected useful lives. The rates used are as follows:-

Office equipment - 20% per annum on a straight line basis

e) Fixed asset investments

i) Listed investments

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the bid price. Gains or losses arising on revaluation or disposal are recognised in the statement of financial activities in the funds in which the investments are held.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022

1 Accounting policies (continued )

e) Fixed asset investments (continued)

ii) Investment properties

The charity classifies land and buildings as investment properties when they are held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, or both. Investment properties are initially measured at cost which comprises the purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure. Investment properties are subsequently remeasured to fair value (which for this purpose is market value) at each reporting date with changes in the fair value recognised in the statement of financial activities.

f) Cash at bank

Cash at bank includes a current account and cash deposited with a savings platform.

g) Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the Trust 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 obligations can be measured or estimated reliably.

h) Financial instruments

With the exception of investments described above, the Trust only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially measured at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

i) Income recognition

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when the Trust has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

l Investment income such as dividends and interest are included when receivable.

l Investment income from rents is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

j) Expenditure recognition

Expenditure is recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis, inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered.

Expenditure on raising funds comprise those costs directly attributable to financing, managing and maintaining the listed investments and investment properties of the Trust.

Grants payable are recorded once the Trust has made an unconditional commitment to pay the grant which is communicated to the beneficiary or the grant has been paid, whichever is earliest. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the balance sheet date are noted as a commitment, but not provided as expenditure.
