The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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). ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** ## **Objectives and aims** The results for the year and the financial position of the company is shown in the attached financial statements. The company is limited by guarantee (Company Number: 02023615) and is a registered charity (Registration Number: 294590). ## **Principal activities and objectives of the charity** In line with the charity's purpose in its governing documents, the charity's principal activities during the year under review are that of the promotion and advancement of public education in the arts of painting, sculpture, drawing and printmaking. ## **Public benefit** The directors / trustees have referred to and given due consideration to the guidance in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the above aims and objectives and in planning future activities. In particular, directors / trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set. ## **Grantmaking** Grants are made by the Council of the RBA. They are awarded by committees whose composition changes annually and are judged on artistic grounds. The President of the RBA chairs the committees and has the casting vote. Grants and donations are carefully considered and are only made when it is certain that the donations contribute towards the charity achieving its objectives. Page 1 **Royal Society Of British Artists Limited (a company limited by guarantee) (Registered number: 02023615)** ## **Report of the Trustees** ## **for the Year Ended 31 March 2021** ## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** ## **Charitable activities** The Royal Society of British Artists Limited (RBA) promotes the work of and encourages young artists and students, as well as usually providing learning opportunities for the general public through its workshops and demonstrations, which normally take place during the RBA Annual Exhibition at the Mall Galleries. It should be noted, however, that our work from March 2020 - March 2021 was severely challenged by the restrictions in place due to the Coronavirus. This meant that the outside exhibitions which were planned for the year were cancelled and our Annual Exhibition [normally held in March] was moved forward to April 2021, which is just outside of the accounting date but will be included in this report. Unfortunately we were unable to have any workshops during this exhibition, again due to the Covid-19 restrictions, but we were able to have an additional online exhibition for the RBA. We had a record-breaking number of works submitted by non-members, and 200 of them were shown in our exhibition alongside the RBA members. Many prizes and awards were presented at the RBA Annual Exhibition and the donors often chose the prize-winners themselves. This helped to ensure that the awards are fairly given to members and non-members alike and the non-member artists were well represented and nine of the twenty prizes on offer were awarded to young artists. We have made a concerted effort over the past few years to reach out to young artists and, as a result, this year we saw 328 submissions from them [again a record number] and we included 40 artists aged under 35 years in the exhibition - all selected on merit. Additionally, we selected a further 60 young artists for special online exhibitions. Forty of these were semi-finalists for our Rome Scholarship award and were our 'RBA RISING STARS 2021'. The RBA Education Committee selected these from an open competition. The RBA is able to offer this Rome Scholarship as a result of a generous bequest from the late Mr G.H. Benn, in memory of his late wife Marianne Von Werther, a former member of the RBA. The prize is presented with a view to offer an enriching learning experience for a young emerging artist as well as augmenting their professional profile. Three finalists for the Scholarship were selected to have their work shown at the RBA Annual Exhibition alongside our member artists in April 2021 - a winner will be selected following interviews with the Education Committee later in the year. The winner will be awarded a month-long scholarship providing accommodation, meals, flights and studio space at a prestigious gallery in the centre of Rome for the month of April 2022. The award will include, a cash prize of £1000. The 2 runners-up will also receive awards of £250 each. A further 20 young artists were selected from about 400 applicants from around the UK. These were students finishing their 'A' level courses and were our 'RBA Star Students 2021'. Both the above groups had their work shown in online exhibitions on the website of the Royal Over-Seas League and on the RBA website and media platforms. For the first time, both groups had their work illustrated in the RBA catalogue that accompanied the Annual Exhibition. We were able to create short videos to put online in our website and social media platforms to illustrate how some of our artists produced their works and to explain their creative processes. These short videos, available to be viewed by the general public, continue to be produced by our members. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** ## **Financial position** Income for the period fell to £16,455 from £37,191 in 2020 as a result of the impact of the Coronavirus on activities as described above. Expenditure fell to £11,269 from £23,412 so that there was an overall surplus of £5,186 (2020 surplus £13,779). There was a net gain of £36,884 on investments during the year ( 2020 £12,333 loss) reflecting stock market volatility following the Covid 19 outbreak. Page 2 **Royal Society Of British Artists Limited (a company limited by guarantee) (Registered number: 02023615)** ## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2021** ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** ## **Reserves policy** The directors / trustees are satisfied that the level of reserves held by the charity is appropriate for the charity to achieve its objectives. At 31 March 2021, the total funds of the charity were £398,500 (2020: £356,430). Of these, £190,386 (2020: £170,078) were restricted. The unrestricted funds are represented mainly by investments, the income of which contributes to the charity's expenditure. These are monitored carefully to ensure that the income matches the charitable activities. The directors/trustees consider that the unrestricted funds should be maintained at a level above £100,000 in order that they can meet the charitable objectives. The directors / trustees monitor the level of reserves on a timely basis ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** ## **Governing document** The entity is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 18 February 1986, as modified by a special resolution dated 8 January 2019. The charity is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the directors/trustees named below. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. ## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees/directors** New directors / trustees are proposed by the existing directors / trustees. Any proposals are ratified by the Council of the Royal British Artists (RBA) which is separate from the Royal Society of British Artists Limited. The Council of the RBA is made up of experienced and distinguished members of the RBA, who include directors/trustees of the Royal Society of British Artists Limited, and their appointment is subject to the RBA's own rules. There is no time limit to the term of directors/trustees' appointment.

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). 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 members have not required the company to obtain an audit of its financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021 in accordance with Section 476 of the Companies Act 2006. The trustees acknowledge their responsibilities for - (a) ensuring that the charitable company keeps accounting records that comply with Sections 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006 and - (b) preparing financial statements which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company as at the end of each financial year and of its surplus or deficit for each financial year in accordance with the requirements of Sections 394 and 395 and which otherwise comply with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 relating to financial statements, so far as applicable to the charitable company.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value. ## **Income** All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. Income from trading activities is not subject to discounts,VAT or any other sales taxes. ## **Expenditure** Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. ## **Taxation** The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. ## **Fund accounting** Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. ## **Fixed assets 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 dividend. The main form of financial risk faced by the charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk, and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or sub sectors. Since 31 March 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 and related global responses have caused material disruptions to businesses around the world, leading to an economic showdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. While governments and central banks have reacted with monetary interventions designed to stabilise economic conditions, the duration and extent of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, as well as the effectiveness of government and central bank responses, remains unclear at this time. ## **Realised gains and losses** continued... Page 9 **Royal Society Of British Artists Limited (a company limited by guarantee)** ## **Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the Year Ended 31 March 2021** ## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** ## **Fixed assets investments** All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and opening carrying value (purchase date if later). Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the market value at the year end and opening carrying value (or purchase date if later). ## **Debtors** Debtors are amounts owed to the charity. They are measured on the basis of their recoverable amount. ## **Bank and cash in hand** Cash at bank and in hand is held to meet the day to day running costs of the charity as they fall due. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments, usually in instant access interest bearing savings accounts. ## **Creditors** Creditors are amounts owed by the charity. They are measured at the amount that the charity expects to have to pay to settle the debt. ## **2. DONATIONS AND LEGACIES** |Donations

The trustees/directors have decided to meet all governance costs from unrestricted funds and so no allocation or charge is made to restricted funds for any governance related costs. Governance costs include legal fees of £3,225 (2020 Nil) and accountancy fees of £2,820 (2020: £2,670). The accountancy fees are split between accounts fees £1,438 and independent examination fees £1,382 (2020: accounts fees £1,362; independent examination fees £1,308).

The F C Davison Award fund was set up in 1991 following a legacy receipt and £5,000 was invested in a bank deposit account. Small awards are made to art students at the annual exhibition, at the trustees'/directors' discretion. The Gordon Viva Memorial fund was set up in 2005 following a legacy bequeathed to the society in the sum of £2,000. This sum is invested in a deposit account and used to award prizes of between £100 and £150 each year to selected artists at the annual exhibition. The Ronald Morgan fund was set up in 2020 following £500 which was won for a Whistler medal being given back to the charity by Mr Morgan, donations in his memory being received of £1085 and a gift aid claim of £138. These sums are invested in a deposit account and used to award prizes of £250 each year to a selected artist at the annual exhibition. The Peter Kelly fund was set up in 2020 following a legacy bequeathed to the society in the sum of £3,000, together with donations in his memory of £218. These sums are invested in a deposit account and used to award a prize of £500 in the first year and £300 in subsequent years to a selected artist at the annual exhibition. The Stuart Southall fund was set up in 2020 following a donation from him in the sum of £700. This sum was invested in a deposit account and two prizes have been awarded in 2020 for £250 each leaving £200 to be awarded in 2022. Due to COVID19 restrictions the annual exhibition did not take place until April 2021 and as a result there has been no movements during 2021 on the F C Davison Award Fund, Gordon Viva Memorial Fund, Ronald Morgan Fund, Peter Kelly Fund and Stuart Southall Fund but all funds are available for use during the year to 31 March 2022. continued... Page 17 **Royal Society Of British Artists Limited (a company limited by guarantee)** ## **Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the Year Ended 31 March 2021** ## **16. MOVEMENT IN FUNDS - continued** The Mrs Von-Werther Award fund was established in 1995 and until the year ended 31 March 2005, a regular donation had been received from the late Mrs Von-Werther's husband in her memory. This has now ceased and a one-off legacy of £100,000 was received in February 2005. This fund will continue to pay for a young artist to be sent to The British School at Rome, Italy. The majority of the fund has been invested with a view to generating sufficient income to cover the costs of the annual grant. ## **17. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES** There were no related party transactions for the year ended 31 March 2021. ## **18. GOING CONCERN** In the opinion of the trustees the charity is expected to remain a going concern for at least 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements. In arriving at this opinion, the trustees have assumed that the current pandemic will continue indefinitelyand have based their forecasts on the financial resources available to the charity, its liabilitiesand when they fall due and on the levels of government support announced to date.
