This broad statement devised for the inauguration of the Foundation in 1958 still holds true but has been clarified for the challenges facing the world 60 years on. Our aim is to help sustain peace, freedom and the rule of law. We work towards the renewal of democratic societies, states and alliances. Ditchley brings people together to think new things and make new connections. We orchestrate frank conversations across divides and create space for strategic thinking. Our primary route to impact is through people, engaging the individuals and organisations with direct influence over outcomes. Ditchley discussions address complex challenges that, as a rule, do not have simple solutions. We aim to find and include outstanding talent from all quarters. Ditchley is committed to ensuring and encouraging access for everyone, regardless of ability, age, gender, cultural or social background, sexual orientation, faith, location or wealth. Ditchley is independent and not bound by the interests of any government, political party or company. We publish the outcomes of conferences and other events for public benefit. We also share insights and conclusions with government ministers, civil servants, journalists, business and technology leaders and others in a targeted way, either by direct briefings, post-conference briefings to the Ditchley community, or through subsequent small group discussions exploring particular ideas or themes which require more examination. Ditchley has a wide range of partnerships with other organisations and seeks to work on issues in coordination rather than isolation, aiming to achieve maximum impact and efficiency. The public benefits generated by Ditchley are a deeper understanding amongst decision makers and influencers of issues of international concern across different fields, delivering in turn a wider public good. By design, Ditchley addresses the systemic long-term challenges we face, and so benefits are often difficult to quantify through short-term metrics. Nonetheless Exceptionally busy and influential people continue to make time to participate in Ditchley events, whether face to face at Ditchley Park or virtually. The Ditchley experience is educative even for those at the height of their careers and widely appreciated as a valuable contribution to public life. Ditchley conversations inform the reporting of many respected news organisations from the BBC to the Washington Post and also new forms of media. _Ditchley provides an unparalleled opportunity for a frank, fresh, and bracing exchange of ideas and perspectives across many types of boundaries. We've got to break out of our social circles and comfort zones if we are going to mobilize more effective policy responses to our great challenges. Ditchley always expands the horizons of my thinking._ Dr Larry I Diamond, The United States: headed for renewal or bound for division?, September 2021 Page 4 _Conferences at Ditchley are of a consistently high calibre and offer a healthy diversity of perspectives. The quality and quantity of in-depth reflection provides ample material to guide one's professional analysis and inspire one's thought process._ Dr Zachary Paikin, Europe after Merkel, March 2022 No individual receives financial benefit from Ditchley. Where events are residential, board and Ditchley has resumed the practice of offering the house and its gardens without charge to charities in Oxfordshire and the surrounding region for several fundraising events per annum. In the last year Ditchley has hosted three such events. The Foundation maintains Ditchley Park as a historic house, part of the national heritage. It is open by appointment to individuals, groups and societies to study its history, art and architecture. The public is given access to the building in the form of pre-booked guided tours for a small charge. An innovation over the last year has been to set aside a number of days throughout the year as Public Access Days, bookable through a well-known online ticketing website. Ditchley is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and engaged Small World Consultancy to undertake a comprehensive analysis of greenhouse gas emissions to provide a baseline from which to develop a responsible and deliverable approach to being carbon neutral by 2025. Initiatives under review to achieve this goal include the acquisition of an EV people carrier; an exploration of the possibility of installing solar panels on the roof of the main house which would remain hidden thanks to its design; rainwater harvesting; and clearing the kitchen garden with a view to growing more fruit and vegetables on site. The Director and other officers of the Foundation undertake a range of other activities to promote the reputation and objectives of the Foundation and to attract new participants and supporters for the Foundation. They regularly participate in discussions with policy-makers and thought leaders in the UK, North America and far beyond, to explore opportunities for collaboration, attract expert participants to the Ditchley programme, and to share insights from Ditchley discussions. Some of the objectives stated in the original Articles of Association of 1958 (such as establish fellowships, scholarships and and establish paid residential or other are not currently part of programme but are under review in development plans. All new Trustees are provided by the auditors, currently James Cowper Kreston, on a biannual basis (most recently completed in February 2021), together with an annual reminder of Trustee responsibilities by means of the Charity Commission guidance document referenced above. The Trustees have paid due regard to the Charity guidance on public benefit in Page 5 ## _**Report of 2021-2022**_ The last 12 months have been tumultuous, beginning with the final few months of the constraints imposed by COVID restrictions and concluding with the shock of invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022. The upcoming programme was rapidly revised to provide space for thoughtful dialogue on the new issues and challenges ahead. Alongside conduct of the thematic programme, Ditchley has pressed ahead with a range of other projects to support the programme and its impact. ## **The Bridge** The Bridge, the state-of-the-art audio-visual capability installed in the Library, has become Private Events. expertise with regards to the delivery of virtual and hybrid events is seen as class leading and we are regularly invited to demonstrate the Bridge facility to a range of other organisations, both national and international. More importantly, as a direct result of the Bridge capability, Ditchley is able to involve serving senior figures (for example Secretary John Kerry, Commissioner Margrethe Vestager and German Chancellery State Secretary Dr Jörg Kukies) in conferences and other discussions. _Needless to say, amazing collection of people, superbly curated and moderated, and I have to say the Ditchley library is a masterclass in how to make hybrid meetings work effectively_ Feedback following Techno-Democracy conference, February 2022. We have recruited a dedicated member of the team to lead on the technology underpinning the Bridge. Their background and training is in filmmaking and we are also able to draw on these skills to produce video content for a variety of purposes. ## **Internship programme** We are continuing to build our internship programme. We have engaged with twenty-eight interns throughout the academic year and will again be hosting a summer programme, which will take another forty students. All our interns are either paid for their work (at, or above, the national living wage) and/or receive credits towards their degree. We attract interns from universities from all parts of the country and ensure that geography is not a barrier to full participation in all aspects of the Ditchley interning experience which includes, for example, induction days at Ditchley and engagement with the newly launched Ditchley Intern Alumni Network. We will this summer be welcoming four to five Canadian undergraduates to the Ditchley Internship Programme, selected by the Canadian Ditchley Foundation, with broad geographical representation across Canada. Interns are also invited to participate in our mentoring programme, which connects emerging talent with members of the established Ditchley community. ## **digital presence** A key project underway is the migration of the current CRM to Salesforce which will facilitate the modernisation and scalability of capacity to deliver an expanded programme. It will also enable the integration o community platform. A new website is being developed in parallel. This will more accurately reflect the range of work currently undertaken by Ditchley and improve access to archive materials with simpler navigation. Both projects are scheduled for delivery in Autumn 2022. Ditchley has continued to expand the digital content available on Smartify (https://smartify.org/venues/ditchley-park); a digital platform that hosts rich descriptions of art Page 6 and objects through innovative technology, enabling engaging storytelling about places, their history and their purpose. ## **Heritage Projects** completion with the central section of rooms now all but finished and back in use by guests. The rooms and new dedicated and ensuite bathrooms have been individually decorated to a very high standard, combining outstanding comfort with character, history and respect for identity as a historic home rather than hotel. The remaining second floor rooms will be completed by the end of 2022, bringing to a close what are probably the largest scale works on the house since the 1930s. Work is almost complete on restoration of the Rotunda, an iconic feature of the Ditchley landscape, which required the complete removal and rebuilding of the stone floor due to erosion through water ingress over the decades. The Rotunda and sham bridge end of the lake has also been dredged. Multiple smaller restoration and maintenance projects have been completed around the house and estate over the course of the year, for example the painting of the north front windows. ## _**The 2021-2022 Programme of Events**_ The framework for the programme consists of four themes, which ensure clarity of purpose. There have been nine Ditchley conferences over the period covered by this report, each followed by a postmechanism for sharing initial reflections and findings with the wider Ditchley community. Beyond the core conference programme, Ditchley has hosted over one hundred other sessions ranging from large scale events such as the _Annual Lecture_ and _Climate and Energy Summit_ to small group discussions. Smaller scale discussions are held on a weekly basis and facilitated by our theme leads, alongside a growing calls programme to members of the Ditchley community. ## **I Geopolitics** Geopolitics has always been and will remain core territory for Ditchley and that is reflected in the focus of five of the conferences over the last year. Notable amongst these was _China Today and Tomorrow_ in May 2021, where the power of virtual connection to bring together people from across the globe was fully deployed, with an on-line gathering of just under one hundred participants from China, the US, Canada, Australia, Japan, Malaysia, Germany, Hong Kong, Singapore, Ghana, France and the UK. The intense day and half, round the clock conversation, engaged different perspectives from politics, academia and business in frank exchanges with Chinese voices about China today and its immediate future. _grouping on zoom - what a truly astonishing gathering. One of my Chinese contacts_ The twenty-four-hour approach to conference planning was taken one step further in October for _The Indo-Pacific: how can we best promote strategic stability, economic growth and the rule of law in the region?_ with the programme running according to the regional time zones, a deliberate choice to emphasise our seriousness on engaging the Indo-Pacific, greatly appreciated by the many participants from that region. Page 7 The three other conferences falling under this thematic heading were _Global finance, states and societies: how can finance be one of the heroes of a green recovery from the great pandemic?_ in April 2021; _The United States: headed for division or bound for renewal?_ in September 2021; and _Europe after Merkel_ in March 2022. ## **Annual Lecture** Via the Bridg _57[th] Annual Lecture_ on Saturday 10[th] July. The speech was a robust defence of the values of democracy whilst acknowledging the allure and threats of more populist or authoritarian systems. With the relaxation of COVID restrictions, it was possible to deliver the Lecture as a hybrid event, with a small group of participants in person at Ditchley and over four hundred more joining virtually. ## **II Democracy, education and renewal of the social contract** Three major conferences and a series of small(gatherings of key participants) have been held on this theme throughout the year. The three conferences were: _Take Back Control Part Two_ , June 2021; _Making the future work for all workers_ , November 2021; and _Freedom in democracies: navigating the collision of identity and freedom of expression in the digital age_ , January 2022, The theme was also explored through sessions held in collaboration with members of the Labour Party and, separately, senior civil servants on strategy and civil service reform. ## **III Technology and Democracy** February conference on _Techno-Democracy: how can democracies adopt AI and other emerging technologies at speed in order to strengthen both global competitiveness and core values?,_ represented an important milestone for this programme of work. This was complemented by the launch of Data in Democracies programme with the objective of accelerating the development of norms for data sharing and technology regulation across democratic states. Two one day conferences on the theme were held in October 2021 and March 2022, along with a number of smaller scale discussions over the intervening months. Ditchley also held its third one day conference on the fast-developing field of computational biology which brings together AI and the life sciences in the pursuit of accelerated scientific discovery of new medicines and materials. Building on five years of work, in May 2021 Ditchley launched an informal Science and Technology Group to bring together around a hundred members of the Ditchley community with re ## **IV Climate, ocean and biodiversity** February 2021 _Climate Judo_ conference. It deploys the Ditchley methodology of small informal working groups convening around focussed discussion topics, leading up to larger gatherings. A forty-person Climate and Energy Summit in March brought together a group of core participants. The main areas of focus include the energy transition, education in the context of climate change, and adaptation and resilience by society to the effects of climate change which it is now too late to prevent. Details of all conferences, and other virtual discussions and events can be found on the Ditchley website: https://www.ditchley.com/events/past-events Page 8 ## _**Plans for the Future**_ Ditchley will continue to respond to the Ukraine crisis with agility, convening a variety of discussions to address both the primary and secondary effects and challenges. The aim of the programme is to provide a space for frank conversation across divides, in order to enable strategic thinking as democratic states, markets and alliances respond to the war. Ditchley will continue to build a community of drawn from all parts of society, ensuring participation is multi-national, multi-disciplined and multi-generational. Initiatives are underway to expand focus), Europe, Australia and Japan. Ditchley will also continue to explore new ways to utilise technology to deliver its mission. ## _**The Ditchley Team and Governance**_ The governance bodies of the Ditchley Foundations have, over the past year, worked ever more closely to ensure the institution remains vital and relevant, helping to bring together the right people for the right conversations, pushing forward with the fundraising efforts, and providing wise counsel. during a consultation exercise over the autumn. We are very grateful to all those who contributed to this exercise and participated in the report back session in February 2022 and are working on many of the recommendations to emerge. Ditchley remains indebted to all trustees, Governors, and all those involved with the UK, American and Canadian branches of Ditchley. Consistent with term limits imposed on Council membership, Ms Rachel Lomax and Mr Paul Newman, both members of the Council of Management and the Finance and General Charles, Lord Aldington, will also be stepping down from Council, and as Chairman of the Finance and General Purposes Committee, after agreeing to serve for an additional year to enable a smooth transition to his successor who will be elected at this Annual General Meeting. We should like to record our thanks to all for their time, energy and advice over many years and hope to be able to count on their continued support in the years ahead. Wendy Shepherd, assumed the new role of chief operating officer at the end of last year, succeeding Col Mike Montagu who retired from the post of bursar in December. We are delighted that Mike remains involved with Ditchley in his new role of host and historian. We would like to acknowledge with sadness the deaths over the last year of the following: Sir Antony Acland, Mr John Banks, Sir Nicholas Goodison, Sir Christopher Mallaby, Mr Edward Mortimer, Count Riprand von Arco, Baron Dr Hermann von Richthofen and Sir Crispin Tickell. All had been involved with the governance of the Foundations in varying capacities over many years. We were also saddened by the death of Eva, Lady Wills, in May this year. Until very recent years, and following the death of her husband and founder Sir David Wills, she had been a regular presence at the opening and closing plenaries of virtually every conference Page 9 and maintained a keen interest in the development of this institution in which she and her family have invested so much. Our thoughts are with her daughter, Dr Catherine Wills, and her extended family. As Ditchley continues to evolve, it will strive to honour the legacy of Sir David and Lady Wills, remaining true to the founding principles on which it was established in 1958, which remain very relevant for a world in which peace, freedom and the rule of law remain as elusive as ever. ## _**Financial Review**_ ## _**2021-2022**_ The start of the financial year began with high expectations of normality with a general opening of society. Thankfully the acceleration of the vaccination programme in July allowed the resumption of on-site commercial activity with, appropriately, an international conference in Health and Tropical Medicine. Commercial income generated £143k, exceeding the budget of £108k, showing a strong recovery. Future commercial income has been secured for FY 2022/2023 and enquiries have returned to pre-pandemic levels. Ditchley successfully managed the transition from virtual to hybrid normality, utilising our world class technology to overcome geographical barriers and time constraints. Our mastery of convening technology has become a valuable part of our offer when hosting guest events for other organisations. Staff based near to Ditchley have predominantly returned to onsite working. Programme staff in more distant locations (including London and Central Europe) are regularly welcomed to Ditchley for events and team meetings in order to bring the whole team together, socially, and physically. Efficient utilisation of the Ditchley estate enables staff to stay on site, keeping costs to a minimum. Operational staff, by necessity, have worked on site throughout the pandemic, notably completing the first phase of the second-floor restoration and many other projects. This redeployment of the team worked well during full lockdown and resulted in large savings on the initial estimated refurbishment cost. As normal business resumes, then we are planning carefully how to combine contracted out works with the enhanced skills of the Ditchley team. At the end of the financial year consumable and energy costs had risen substantially with further increases expected. We have mitigated the gas costs with prudent planning and are looking at ways to maximise the Biomass output and to develop renewable sources of electricity. A leased, externally funded electric vehicle, will reduce fuel costs in FY 2022/2023, as part of our carbon reduction plan, developed as part of our carbon survey by a wellrecognised consultancy. ## **Management and role of the invested portfolio** The strategic imperative remains for the Foundation to grow both the value of its invested portfolio, still its principal source of income (and therefore not a reserve) and its yearly income independence as a connector and convenor of people. The portfolio had a value of £20.4 million in March 2022, growing 4% net during the calendar year, taking it past its nominal value of £19.593m at the same point the previous year. This is thanks to the excellent return on investments during the first three quarters of the year, the Page 10 final quarter affected by the Ukraine crisis. The Investment Sub-Committee (ISC) view is that investment managers Partners Capital steered the portfolio through the pandemic as well as could be expected. Economic growth forecasts for 2022 have been downgraded on geopolitics and tighter monetary policy and the rise in inflation will inevitably affect the investment successful at limiting losses compared to the financial crises of 2003 and 2008. Since inception, on 1[st] September 2010, the portfolio has delivered an annualised return of +8.1%. The rate of return enabled a drawdown from the portfolio at year end of £1.26m, below budget set at £1.3m. The level of drawdown was appropriate balanced against the return on investment for the year. For the coming year the budgeted figure for drawdown is set at £1.326m, currently 6.5% of the portfolio value. This level of drawdown reflects the level of planned capital investment in FY 2022/2023 and is in line with the aim to bring down the annual withdrawal amount to a sustainable 4% of portfolio value by the end of FY 2024/2025. An ESG investment policy was adopted by the Council of Management last financial year, empowering our investment managers to report on the exposure of the diverse funds in which the portfolio is invested. ## **Strategic financial risks** Our main strategic financial risk remains a sustained collapse in the markets and in the value of our invested portfolio. Our main mitigations continue to be: careful management of the portfolio; continued work on development; and if necessary further reduction of costs. The ability to reduce costs is underpinned by making sure that we approach major projects in ways that allow for agility and the commitment of funds incrementally. This has been the approach adopted for the second-floor restoration for example. ## **Management of finances** FY 2021/2022 expenditure in the Annual Accounts was £3.124m, while income was over £1.3m. Last year the DPCC revenue, although offset by the operational savings, was severely curtailed by COVID. This year commercial events, although still constrained by the pandemic, generated over £143k. The £3.124m spend includes the commissioning and installation of the bespoke conference table to complete the Library and the completion of the restoration and refurbishment of the middle section of the second floor. The upgrade of tired, badly designed accommodation to seven beautiful bespoke bedrooms with either ensuite and dedicated bathroom facilities completes phase one of the ambition to provide thirty rooms of equivalent quality. Phase two, the completion of the West and East corridor, will be completed by the end of 2022. The project spend was funded through both donations and core funding. Expenditure in FY 2022/2023 is budgeted, in the management accounts, to be just over £3.35m. Donation funding accounts for nearly £300k of project expenditure and £319k of staff costs in the budget. All scheduled work has been budgeted and additional work and projects will not be undertaken without funding in place. Tight controls remain in place to ensure externally funded projects are carefully monitored. A particular focus has been on building up in-house expertise to reduce reliance on external professional advice, delivering savings. An initial 4.5% pay rise has been budgeted to reflect the rise in inflation and a further review will take place during the year, given the expectations that inflation will climb further. We have adopted the Oxford Living Wage for all staff, both permanent and casual, to protect the lowest paid members of our team and to ensure consistency of terms and conditions. Page 11 ## _**Development Report**_ Ditchley raised just over £1.04m in donations during this year from a variety of sources including individuals, trusts and foundations, and corporations. The donations from Trustees amounted to £25,800. As of writing, the running total for the campaign to date is £5.3m in donations and firm pledges over the last four years. Our next priority is to refresh the pipeline for FY 2022/2023 to take the campaign into its second phase and to continue to grow existing and regular support from 1580 Fellows. Our plans for the next phase of the campaign allow for significant flexibility, for example on the pace of the restoration of the remaining areas of the second floor, planning for the development of East Wing, and our balance between face to face and virtual events. Special thanks are extended to American Ditchley on the heritage project, who have committed to endow four bedrooms, including the Henry Kissinger room; the Cyrus Vance support for the endowment of the remaining bedrooms. Development plans for the East Wing will begin in earnest this year which will increase capacity for in-person guests and secure -standard global place to meet, thanks to its unique combination of history and cutting-edge technology. During this past year we have strengthened existing relationships and welcomed new ones. The current extraordinary circumstances demand both action from Ditchley and create an opportunity to bid for extraordinary support.

Thank you to the many individuals who support our work. ## **Private Events and Other Income** Ditchley Park Conference Centre Limited was able to resume business in May with filming work. We hosted further film location work in September and a mixture of private sector and not for profit conference and day bookings through the rest of the year, generating an income of £143k. For FY 2022/2023 we have secured substantial filming during our August closure period which is reflected in our increased budgeted projected income of £436k. Filming, although all encompassing, has a higher return due to the decreased staffing and consumables. ## _**Reserves Policy**_ The core finances are based upon its investment portfolio (valued at £20.4m as at end March 2022), which still provides the principal source of income. The portfolio is not a reserve, nor managed as such, and in the absence of any dedicated reserve fund, the Council of Management consider it a matter of essential financial discipline that the value of the capital Page 13 is preserved as far as possible in order that the Foundation can deliver on its founding mission to run its programme for positive impact, rather than for profit or the interest of any party. ## _Short term reserve_ The portfolio is invested across multiple asset classes and managed by Partners Capital to have a minimum of £400,000 of liquid reserves available to the Foundation within a week. This sum was identified by the Investment Sub-Committee, under the auspices of the Finance and General Purposes Committee, as an appropriate amount of short-term reserve to cover contingencies such as major emergency repairs. As at March 2022, the invested assets under management could provide some £2m to be available within a week, with 60% of the portfolio available to be liquidated within a four-to-seven-month period. The Ditchley Foundation has determined on advice not to hold a separate reserves fund outside the main portfolio given both the opportunity cost (due to lower expected returns) and the additional administrative burden of operating a separate reserves portfolio. ## _Strategic long-term reserves_ point where it can track the approach of Oxford colleges and take no more than 4% of income from the held funds each year. The Foundation has set out a plan of stepped reductions of the sum withdrawn annually from the invested portfolio in order to reduce reliance on the portfolio and to bring this down to 4% of portfolio value by FY 2024/2025, with this aim achieved by a combination of programme and project fundraising, efficiencies and increasing other income streams such as DPCC. This strategy will be pursued in parallel to campaigning for direct donations to increase the size of the invested portfolio. As at 31 March 2022, total funds stood at £26,910,304 of which £25,496 were restricted. The level of unrestricted free reserves, after excluding fixed assets and designated funds, stood at £23,513,987. ## _**Financial Resilience Statement**_ has sufficient funds to enable it to continue its activities on a going concern basis for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The budget endorsed for FY 2022/2023 allows for an unrestricted cash balance, £151k at the end of the t liquidity to cover any short-term urgent needs. ## _**Fundraising Compliance Notice**_ The Ditchley Foundation receives income from donations and has a trading subsidiary, Ditchley Park Conference Centre Limited. The Ditchley Foundation has signed up to the Code of Practice issued by the Fundraising Regulator. We do not carry out any direct marketing to the public and give clear instructions as to how individuals can be removed from our mailing lists. Our fundraising capability is in-house, and we do not use external commercial participators in our fundraising activities. There have been no complaints about fundraising in the year. A formal donor policy was approved by the Finance and General Purposes Committee and endorsed by the Council of Management in November 2020. Page 14 ## _**Structure, Governance and Management**_ incorporated on the 24 February 1958, the Articles of Association having been subsequently amended on the 29 November 1966, 7 July 2007 and 7 July 2018. Members of the Foundation are currently designated They meet at least once a year, whether virtually or in person, at the Annual General Meeting of the Foundation, to approve the Annual Report and accounts of the Foundation and to receive the report of the auditors; to elect, as necessary, in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Council of Management; and to deal with other business of the Foundation. In addition to the AGM, Governors are also invited to further briefings during the course of the year and receive regular updates by email or letter. Trustees (Members of the Council of Management) are generally selected from the ranks of the Governors and invited to join the Council by the Chairman, acting on the recommendations and advice of the existing Trustees, with a view to maintaining a balance of experience, expertise and background within the body of Trustees. They are subsequently elected by the Governors and serve a four-year term, renewable for one further four-year term. All Trustees are fully familiar with the aims and ideals of the Foundation. The administration of the Foundation is carried out by the Council of Management, through the Finance and General Purposes Committee. The day-to-day management of the Foundation is conducted by the Director, who is appointed by, and responsible to, the Council of Management. The salaries of senior members of staff are established with regard to pay levels in the sector for similar positions. From time to time, an external review of pay levels for all staff is commissioned, the most recent instance being the remuneration review conducted during 2017/2018 and implemented in 2018/2019. Ditchley Park Conference Centre Limited (DPCC) is the trading arm of the Foundation and oversees events in the Mansion when not in use by the Foundation. These events include visits (the house is a Grade I listed historic building), conferences and meetings organised by outside bodies and use of the Mansion for education, photography and films. This activity was severely curtailed for much of the last financial year, but has now resumed. The Council of Management is responsible for the management of risks faced by the Foundation. Detailed considerations of risk are delegated to the Director and his staff. Risks are identified, assessed, and controls established throughout the year with a formal review undertaken tri-annually. A high-level Risk Register was introduced in 2018 and is now reviewed regularly, including at each Finance and General Purposes Committee meeting and, annually by the Council of Management. The Register assesses the following risks: - COVID-19 pandemic - Impact of the Ukraine war - Serious injury or death of member of staff or visitor - Catastrophic damage to the Mansion (infrastructure) and heritage, including by fire - Loss of impact and relevance of the Foundation - Failure to adapt to changes in society and technology mean impact and reputation and efficiency undermined - Reputation for financial probity, effectiveness and impact damaged - Business model not sustainable Page 15 - Data loss or privacy breach endangering reputation and damaging interests - Loss of Business Continuity and reputational damage due to insufficient resilience in staff and infrastructure - Serious damage to reputation due to failure to keep up with shifting public attitudes and perceptions The Disaster Recovery Plan is subject to ongoing review, particularly regarding the business continuity aspects as impacted by the current pandemic. The key controls used by the Foundation include: - The above-mentioned tri-annual meetings of the Council at which the Director and his senior staff brief the Trustees; - Biannual meetings of the Finance and General Purposes Committee, which usually precede the Council Meetings, and a further annual meeting of the Committee at which they decide on major works and review health and safety procedures; - Detailed job descriptions for the Director and Senior Staff, which are reviewed in detail on changes of incumbent; - Three meetings a year between the Investment Sub-Committee of the Finance and General Purposes Committee and the investment managers of the investment portfolio. Additionally, members of this Committee with investment experience liaise with the investment managers as often as market conditions warrant it; Finance and General Purposes Committee, plus twice a year meeting of the Health and Safety Committee, to review risks and safety procedures and decide on any necessary policy adjustments in the light of legislative changes. Through these processes the Trustees are satisfied that the major risks have been identified and adequately mitigated where necessary. ## _**Responsibilities**_ As directors, the Trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

Our responsibility is lo 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 lo 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 lo report in this regard. Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit.. the information given in the Trustees.

Responsibilities Statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company lawl 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 lo enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misslalement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Group's and the parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, mallers related lo going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the Group or the parent charitable company or lo cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but lo do so. Page 19 THE DITCHLEY FOUNDATION IA Company Limited by Guarantee) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE DITCHLEY FOUNDATION ICONTINUEDI Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due lo fraud or error, and to issue an Auditor's Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assLJrance, bLJt is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will a￿lay8 detect a material misstatement when il exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material If, individLJally or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected lo Influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading lo a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial slalements, as we wll be less likely lo become aware of Instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due lo fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. The specific procedures for this engagement that we designed and performed to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularib"es, including fraud, were as follows.. Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actLJal and potential litigation and claims. Reviewing minLJtes of meetings of those charged wth governance., Reviewing financial statement disclosures and lesling to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regLJlalions; Performing audit work to address the risk of irregularities due to management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for evidence of bias.
