## **Trustees’ report** Year ended 5 April 2024 

The trustees present their statutory report together with the financial statements of The Annabel Arbib Foundation for the year ended 5 April 2024. 

This report has been prepared in accordance with Part VIII of the Charities Act 2011. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on pages 13 to 15 of the attached financial statements and comply with the charity’s trust deed, applicable laws 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 United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

## **GOVERNANCE, STRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Constitution** 

The Annabel Arbib Foundation is governed by a trust deed dated 27 February 1987 and is registered under the Charities Act 2011, Charity Registration Number 296358. 

## **Trustees** 

The names of the trustees at the date of this report are set out as part of the reference and administrative information on page 1 of these Annual Report and Financial Statements. 

The trust deed requires a minimum of two trustees and a maximum of seven.  Trustees may co-opt any person duly qualified to fill a vacancy in their number or as an additional trustee. Decisions on investments and donations are taken by all trustees. 

## **Trustees’ responsibilities statement** 

The charity’s trustees are responsible for preparing the annual report and 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 period, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of The Annabel Arbib Foundation and of its income and expenditure for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102); 

make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

The Annabel Arbib Foundation **2** 



## **Trustees’ report** Year ended 5 April 2024 

## **GOVERNANCE, STRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT** (continued) 

## **Trustees’ responsibilities statement** (continued) 

- state whether applicable UK 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 in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2006, applicable Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations and the provisions of the trust deed. The trustees 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. 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees have identified the major risks to which the charity is exposed and remain confident that they have in place systems and procedures to mitigate the risks.  They feel that the main risk to which the charity is exposed is the protection of assets and income. The income of the charity is mainly derived from the portfolio of investments held within the charity. The trustees monitor the performance of the investments and regularly review their investment policy, and regularly consider the investment yields and capital growth. 

## **Key management personnel** 

The trustees are the key management and have not at any time received any remuneration for their services. 

## **Fund raising** 

The charity does not fundraise directly with individuals and therefore is not registered with the Fundraising Regulator.  If donations from individuals are received the charity aims to protect personal data and never sells data or swaps data with other organisations.

**Trustees’ report** Year ended 5 April 2024 

## **OBJECTIVES, ACTIVITIES AND RELEVANT POLICIES** 

## **Charitable objectives and activities** 

The formal objectives of the charity are detailed in the Foundation’s trust deed.  The trustees have absolute discretion to make charitable donations out of income and capital as they see fit. 

The Annabel Arbib Foundation holds the important role of being the sponsor of The Arbib Education Trust (formerly The Langley Academy) which comprises The Langley Academy, The Langley Heritage Primary (formerly Parlaunt Park Primary Academy) and The Langley Academy Primary.  All are exempt charities providing education for pupils of all abilities between the ages of 4 years to 19 years of age. 

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year. Whilst the trustees are mindful of their own obligation to ensure that the charity benefits the public generally, they take some assurance from the fact that recipients of grants are themselves regulated to ensure that they operate for the public benefit. 

## **Grant making policy** 

The trustees take a strategic approach to grant-making and do not respond to unsolicited applications.  Potential recipients of grants are identified by the trustees individually, in areas where it is perceived that public benefit will be achieved. The opportunity to benefit is not restricted in any way except that grants are principally made to charitable organisations within the UK, not least to facilitate the trustees being able to follow up on efficacy of the grants made. 

## **Investment policy** 

The investment strategy is set by the trustees, who consider the charity’s income requirements, the risk profile and the view of economic and market conditions. The investment objectives are to obtain a balanced return from both capital growth and income.  The charity’s portfolio and investment performance is considered on a regular basis. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

During the year ended 5 April 2024, total grants payable amounted to £883,935 (2023 - £863,711). Details of grants are provided in Note 3 to the accounts.  The main recipients of grants awarded during the year were The Arbib Education Trust who received £195,000 of grants paid from unrestricted and restricted funds (2023- £324,000), The Greater Share Foundation was granted $500,000/£395,934 and Eton College £250,000. 

## **Investment performance** 

The trustees monitor investment performance on a regular basis and make changes to the balance of holdings within the portfolio in order to meet the charity’s investment objectives of long-term capital growth and income.  In the year, there was one disposal which realised investment gains of £581 for the year ended 5 April 2024 (2023 – losses of £85,315), while the unrealised gains on movements in the market value of investments was £190,731 at 5 April 2024 (2023 – losses of £99,714). 

The investment portfolio yielded dividends, investment rebates, and interest of £558,761 (2023 - £288,656) in the year. The trustees consider investment performance to be in line with market conditions.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Results for the period** 

During the year ended 5 April 2024, the charity’s total income amounted to £558,761 (2023 - £354,156) and total expenditure was £934,264 (2023 - £920,174) of which 94.61% related to grants payable. The deficit on unrestricted funds amounted to £296,310 and was covered by a transfer from the expendable endowment fund, leaving unrestricted funds at a £nil balance. 

The charity received a donation in 2023/24 of £66,995 (2023 - £65,500) where the donor had imposed specific instructions for the funds to be used for educational purposes and which was recognised as restricted funds. 

During the year ended 5 April 2024, the expendable endowment funds generated gains of £191,312 (2023 – loss of £185,029) on the investment portfolio.  The total surplus on the expendable endowment funds for the year amounted to £179,114 (2023 – deficit of £192,130) after investment manager fees and before the transfer of £296,310 to the unrestricted funds. 

## **Reserves policy and financial position** 

As at 5 April 2024 reserves of £14,888,158 were carried forward in accordance with the trustees’ policy on reserves.  The policy is to expend the income in as much that the trustees are able to identify suitable recipients during the year. The expendable endowment will be invested with the intent to, as far as possible, retain its capital value and produce an annual income. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

Financially, the trustees maintain a strong balance of cash; furthermore the investment portfolio is highly liquid which provides the charity with sufficient financial resources to fulfil its charitable objectives. 

The trustees are satisfied with their grant making policy and it is their intention to support a wide and varied number of charities and to continue their support of The Arbib Education Trust.

**Independent auditor’s report** Year to 5 April 2024 

## **Independent auditor’s report to the trustees of The Annabel Arbib Foundation** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the accounts of The Annabel Arbib Foundation (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 5 April 2024 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows, the principal accounting policies and the notes to the accounts. 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 accounts: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 5 April 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

   - have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. 

## **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 accounts section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the accounts 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 accounts, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the accounts 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 accounts 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, including the trustees’ report, other than the accounts and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the accounts does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

The Annabel Arbib Foundation **6** 



**Independent auditor’s report** Year to 5 April 2024 

## **Other information (continued)** 

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the accounts 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 accounts 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 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- the information given in the trustees’ annual report is inconsistent in any material respect with the accounts; or 

- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or 

- the accounts are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement on pages 2 and 3, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts 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 accounts that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the accounts, 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 but to do so. 

## **Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the accounts** 

We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 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 accounts 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 

The Annabel Arbib Foundation **7** 



**Independent auditor’s report** Year to 5 April 2024 

## **Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the accounts** (continued) 

users taken on the basis of these accounts. 

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: 

- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the charity and determined that the most significant are the Charities SORP FRS 102 and the Charities Act 2011. 

- We understood how the charity is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks by making inquiries to those responsible for legal, compliance and governance procedures. We corroborated our inquiries through our review of minutes from trustee meetings and papers provided to the trustees. 

- We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to material misstatements, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: 

   - Identifying and assessing the design and implementation of controls in place to prevent and detect fraud; 

   - Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular adjustments made at the yearend for financial statement preparation; and 

   - Assessing the extent of compliance with relevant laws and regulations by reviewing correspondence with regulators and legal advisors. 

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. 

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. 

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

**Principal accounting policies** 5 April 2024 

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are laid out below. 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost except for the modification to a fair value basis as specified in the accounting policies below. 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 

All financial information is presented in British Pounds Sterling (£), the charity’s functional currency, and has been rounded to the nearest pound (£). 

## **Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and judgements. It also requires the trustees to exercise judgement in the process of applying accounting policies. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including an expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Although these estimates are based on the trustees’ best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results may differ from those estimates. 

The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty or key judgements made in the preparation of the financial statements. 

## **Assessment of going concern** 

The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these financial statements. The trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these financial statements. 

The trustees consider that the expected investment returns and investment performance of the charity’s investment portfolio will be sufficient to generate financial resources to allow the charity to continue its charitable activities for the foreseeable future and meet liabilities as they fall due. 

The Annabel Arbib Foundation **13** 



**Principal accounting policies** 5 April 2024 

## **Income** 

Income from donations is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to the donation and where receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. 

Investment income comprises dividends and interest on the charity’s portfolio of listed investments. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and the charity has received notification that the dividend is due. Interest on the charity’s investment portfolio and funds held on deposit is recognised when receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably using the effective interest method. 

## **Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised once 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. It includes VAT which cannot be recovered. 

Expenditure on charitable activities comprises grants payable and related support and governance costs. 

## _Grants payable_ 

Grants payable are recognised when approved and when the intended recipient has either received the funds or been informed of the decision to make the donation and has satisfied all related conditions. Grants approved but not paid at the end of the financial year are accrued for.  Grants where the beneficiary has not been informed or has to meet certain conditions before the grant is released are not accrued for but are noted as financial commitments in the notes to the financial statements. 

## _Support and governance costs_ 

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include administration, personnel and governance costs. Governance costs include audit costs and legal costs relating to the charity’s compliance with regulation and good practice. 

## **Fixed asset investments** 

The charity’s investment in quoted shares and similar investments are initially measured at cost and subsequently at market value. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are recognised in the statement of financial activities in the period in which they arise. 

## **Financial Instruments** 

The Charity only holds basic financial instruments as defined in FRS102. Financial assets and liabilities and their recognition and measurement bases are as follows: 

Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. 

The Annabel Arbib Foundation **14** 



**Principal accounting policies** 5 April 2024 

## **Financial instruments** (continued) 

At the end of each reporting period financial assets are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If such evidence is identified, an impairment loss is recognised in the statement of financial activities. For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset’s carrying amount and a best estimate of the recoverable amount. 

A financial asset is derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled in cash, or when substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been transferred to another party. 

A financial liability is derecognised when the contract that gives rise to it is settled, sold cancelled or expired. 

## **Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and in hand represents such accounts and instruments that are available on demand or have a maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition. 

## **Creditors and provisions** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be measured or estimated reliably. 

Creditors and provisions are initially recognised at fair value, being the amount the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt, and subsequently at amortised cost. 

Non-current creditors are measured at their present value at the balance sheet date where the time value of money is material. The unwinding of the discount is charged against income as an interest expense.
