Objectives and activities

The objectives of the trust are:

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

The Trust's objectives are met in such proportion and manner as the Trustees shall in their absolute discretion from time to time determine.

Achievements, performance and financial review

Approaches for donations were made during the year, which resulted in income of £1,015,167 (2021: £5,511,020) generated by way of donations of £971,367, donated professional services of £15,000 by McFadden, Pilkington & Ward LLP and gifts in kind of £28,800 in relation to professional fees paid by a related party on behalf of the charity.

FRIENDS OF HARVARD UNIVERSITY

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

The Trust is committed to using its resources in pursuit of its charitable objects. It is also committed to maintaining a level of reserves that is prudent to meet on-going liabilities, sufficient to ensure that all commitments can be met and to protect the long-term future of its operations. It is the Trust's policy to retain sufficient reserves to cover administration costs and commitments for a period of one year.

The Trustees have considered the future cashflows and ability to call on trusted donors to cover operating expenses should this be required. The Trustees are satisfied that the current level of reserves are appropriate to its circumstances as grants to the University are only made out of donations received and there will be sufficient resources to cover the operating expenses of the charity.

Risk management

The Trustees have identified, monitored, and reviewed significant risks and have implemented systems and processes to manage and mitigate those risks. The main risks are associated with the continued donations from long term donors and ensuring that donations are generated from new Harvard Alumini and friends of Harvard in the business community. The Trustees review ongoing pledges and have a strong presence in the UK to continue to develop new relationships with donors. The Trustees are satisfied with the current risk management procedures in place which they believe satisfactorily mitigate the identified risks.

Fundraising Statement

The Charity's fundraising activities focus on existing relationships with a small number of individual donors and businesses. The Charity has not engaged with any professional fundraisers to raise funds. No complaints were received in relation to the Charity's fundraising activities.

Plans for the future

The trust's future plan is to work in the most efficient and effective way towards achieving its objectives.

Structure, governance and management

The Trust was established by a charitable deed on 25 October 1984 and is a registered charity No. 290609. It is governed by this deed and by the Charities Act 2011.

The Trustees who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: J.H. McFadden

J.D. Fishburn C.D. Quillen III R.G. Howells C. Wright J.V. Baker J O'Regan

The President of Harvard University has the right to nominate all new trustees with the existing trustees obliged to appoint such nominees. Additional trustees may be appointed at any time, but the total number shall not be less than three or more than nine.

The Trust has no employees. The day to day administration of the charity is provided by Charles Dominic Services Limited.

FRIENDS OF HARVARD UNIVERSITY

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities

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).

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 sufficient 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.

On behalf of the board of Trustees

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF FRIENDS OF HARVARD UNIVERSITY

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Friends of Harvard University (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the statement of financial position, the statement of cash flows and the 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).

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 Financial Reporting Council'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 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 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 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.

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:

FRIENDS OF HARVARD UNIVERSITY

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF FRIENDS OF HARVARD UNIVERSITY

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 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 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.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect irregularities, including fraud. 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 or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the entity and management.

Our approach was as follows:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF FRIENDS OF HARVARD UNIVERSITY

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’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 part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Friends of Harvard University is a charity registered in England & Wales with registration number 290609. The principal address is 1 Mulgrave Chambers, 26-28 Mulgrave Road, Sutton, Surrey, SM2 6LE.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance 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 (FRS 102)” (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements 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 the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of the investment portfolio at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

The unrestricted income fund consists of funds to be used to meet ongoing overheads and administrative expenses.

The restricted funds, which are wholly payable to Harvard University, are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used.

1.4 Incoming resources

Donations, legacies and other forms of voluntary income are recognised as income when receivable.

Donated services are recognised at their estimated open market value, with an equivalent amount recognised as expenditure.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

FRIENDS OF HARVARD UNIVERSITY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Resources expended

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses, including governance costs, are allocated to the applicable expenditure headings in the statement of financial activities.

Grants payable are payments to Harvard University in the furtherance of the charitable objects of the Trust.

1.6 Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net gains/ (losses) on investments for the year in the Statement of Financial Activities. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

1.7 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include deposits held at call with banks.

1.8 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

1.9 Foreign exchange

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All differences are included in total charitable expenditure.
