THE SAINSBURY RESEARCH UNIT
TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022
Structure Governance and Management Governing document The Sainsbury Research Unit was established under a Trust Deed dated 30 December 1986. Trustee Selection Methods The power of appointing University Trustees is exercisable by the University of East Anglia ('UEA'). The External Trustees are appointed by the continuing External Trustees with them being required to appoint those nominated by Lord Sainsbury of Turville. Organisational structure of The External Trustees are responsible for investment policy and the charity and how management. The Trustees meet twice a year to consider reports decisions are made from the External Trustees on investment performance and policy, to receive reports on the application of the funds passed to the UEA in order to fulfil the objects of the Trust and to consider the annual report and financial statements. Risk policy The key risk to the trust fund is the volatility of market investments as evidenced by the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic, where the value of investments has fluctuated and future investment income is anticipated to be substantially lower. The Trustees, in consultation with and on the advice of their Investment Advisers, maintain a diverse and balanced investment portfolio to mitigate so far as possible against adverse risks affecting the overall value of the endowment so that the charity can continue to pay out the income generated to the trust beneficiary. At the same time, other major risks to which the trust is exposed are considered and, where necessary, steps are taken to mitigate and minimise those risks.
Objectives and Activities Objects The principal purpose of the Trust is to apply income but not the capital of the Trust for charitable purposes connected with the advancement of education and learning by promoting study into the research and teaching of non-western art, and specifically to pay the costs of employing staff and other direct running costs of the Sainsbury Research Unit (SRU) for the Arts of Africa, Oceania and the Americas at the UEA. Public Benefit Statement 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 consider that the information contained in this Trustees' report, clearly sets out the aims, activities and achievements of the Trust which are of benefit to the general public.

TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022
| Investment performance | The investment portfolio has experienced less volatility during the |
|---|---|
| financial year now that the Trust has passed through the | |
| unprecedented conditions arising from Covid-19. The market value | |
| of investments has increased by 1.4% compared to 2021, and | |
| investment income has increased by 17% compared to the | |
| previous year as the amounts paid from dividends recover from | |
| pandemic lows. Neverthless investment income remains difficult | |
| to find, and Trustees are mindful of the uncertainty that increased | |
| inflation and the effect of the war in Ukraine will bring to investment | |
| returns. | |
| The charity does not raise funds from the public | |
| Going Concern | Having assessed the Trust's financial position and plans for the |
| foreseeable future, the Trustees are satisfied that it remains | |
| appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going | |

TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare the financial statements for each financial year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards) and applicable law.
Under charity law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its net incoming resources for the period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting polices and apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue to operate.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and 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. 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE SAINSBURY RESEARCH UNIT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of the Sainsbury Research Unit for the year ended 31 July 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and 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 UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted
In our opinion the financial statements:
- resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then Accounting Practice; and
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and 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 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 trustee's 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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information 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 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

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022
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
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
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 but to do so.
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 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.
Details of the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations are set out below.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements from irregularities, whether due to fraud or error, and discussed these between our audit team members. We then designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE SAINSBURY RESEARCH UNIT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charity operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Charities Act 2011 together with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charity for fraud.
Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be within the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of journals, reviewing accounting estimates for biases, reviewing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission, and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of nondetection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing noncompliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
