## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022** 

The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of La Maison de l’Institut de France à Londres (Fondation Edmond de Rothschild) (the charity) for the year ended 31st March 2022.  The Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the charity comply with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011, the charity’s trust deed and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

## **Structure, Governance and Management Constitution** 

The charity was founded in 1920 by the Institut de France with a gift from the Baron Edmond de Rothschild.  It is constituted under a Charity Commission Scheme dated 21st June 1951 as amended on 2nd January 1985, and is registered charity number 312897. 

The principal object of the charity is to provide accommodation for French academics and students who wish to come to London for study or research, thereby fostering cultural, academic and international relations between the two countries. The charity achieves its objectives through publicity in France undertaken by itself and the Institute de France, and by providing a convivial environment at La Maison in London, on a bed and breakfast basis in fourteen rooms. 

The income is derived from the investment of the original gift from the Baron, now managed by the Charities Official Investment Fund (COIF), and from contributions from the guests towards the running costs. The charity’s overall objectives remain unchanged. However, following a finance agreement with the Institut de France in Paris, the principal objective for the year was to undertake a complete refurbishment of the building occupied by the charity. A further objective was to effectively manage the charity throughout the restrictions and limitations imposed by the British Government during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

## **Method of Appointment or Election of Trustees** 

The management of the charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Charity Commission Scheme.  Trustees are recruited through networking or their involvement with the Institut de France in Paris. 

Prospective candidates are interviewed by the Trustees and representatives of the Institut de France.  Upon appointment, Trustees receive an induction to the history and running of the Charity.  In accordance with the constitution, the minimum number of co-optive Trustees in office at any given time should be four and two ex-officio Trustees.  The co-optive Trustees are appointed for a term of five years. 

The Trustees who served during the year were:- 

Mme Beatrice Keighley, Chair Lady Janvrin M Antoine de Navacelle Mme Anne-Marie Gray M Jean-Hugues de Lamaze 

The two ex-officio Trustees are the Ambassador of France in London, S E Mme Catherine Colonna, and the Chancellor of the Institut de France in Paris, M Xavier Darcos.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022** 

## **Organisational structure and decision making** 

The Trustees are responsible for the overall control of the charity's operations and meet regularly to review the performance of La Maison and authorise strategic decisions. 

Day to day management is delegated to the charity's director who is supported by a team of staff. 

## **Risk management** 

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular, those related to the operations and finances of the charity and are satisfied those systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. 

## **Review of activities and future developments** 

The net incoming resources of the charity amounted to £4,045,001 (2021 – incoming £1,016,839). The realised and unrealised gains in the market value of the investments amounted to £4,608,605 (2020 gain of £20,037). The combined effect is to increase total funds at 31 March 2021 to £9,263,265 (2021 - £4,201,425). During the year, there were no visitors due to the COVID-19 restrictions in place and renovation work carried out on the property. 

Room rates were last increased on 1 April 2019 from £85 to £88 per night for a double/twin room, from £65 to £68 per night for a single room, and £45 to £48 per night for a student room. Staff wages were also increased on 1 April 2019 from £9 to £10 per hour for housekeeper positions. It is expected that room rates and staff wages will be reviewed and increased ahead of the anticipated reopening of the organisation in October 2022. All staff were retained throughout the year and were placed on furlough, except the Director who continued to work full-time. 

Objectives for 2022-23 include the completion of the refurbishment project and the reopening of the organisation, anticipated in October 2022. The refurbishment project, which started in June 2021, has progressed well and has involved rewiring and replumbing the entire building, the installation of a new fire system, repair and repainting of the front and rear external facades, extensive repairs to all windows, removal of an external service corridor, removal and replacement of old asbestos fire doors, installation of new bathrooms, including en-suite toilets to all bedrooms, opening the access between the guest lounge and study to provide a multi-purpose function room, complete internal redecoration, new flooring, new furnishings and new radiators throughout the building, and the reconfiguration of the lower ground floor to include the relocation of the main kitchen, alterations to the dining room, installation of a rooflight and enlargement and extensive refurbishment of the Director’s flat. Financial support for the renovation project was provided by the Institut de France in Paris and from the Trust’s own funds. 

The relationship of La Maison with the Institut de France in Paris is very close.  The Chancellor of the Institut de France is an ex-officio Trustee of La Maison, and the Institut de France is responsible for approving admission policy for guests wishing to stay at La Maison.

## **Review of activities and future developments continued:** 

## **Investment policy and performance** 

The Trustees' policy is to invest surplus funds in the Charities Official Investment Fund (COIF). 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity was obliged to cease its primary operations in mid-March 2020 due to the COVID-19 restrictions imposed by the British Government. The property owned by the Trust subsequently underwent extensive renovation work between June 2021 and October 2022. The performance of the COIF Investment Fund has, however, remained strong. The Trustees monitor and meet regularly to review the financial position of the charity, including the reserves, and presently remain satisfied that there are sufficient general reserves to meet the anticipated operating needs of the charity for the foreseeable future.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022** 

## **Statement of the trustees' responsibilities** 

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales require the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, of the charity for that period.  In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently. 

- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- 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 a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

As far as the Trustees are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Charity’s auditor are unaware; and the Trustees have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as Trustees in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity’s auditors are aware of that information. 

The Trustees confirm that they have met the responsibilities set out above and complied with the requirements for preparing the financial statements. The financial statements set out on pages 8 to 17 attached have been compiled from, and are in accordance with, the financial records maintained by the Trustees. 

Approved by the Trustees on                                                              2023 and signed on its behalf

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS OF MAISON DE L'INSTITUT DE FRANCE A LONDRES (FONDATION EDMOND DE ROTHSCHILD)** 

We have audited the financial statements of Maison De L’Institut De France A Londres for the year ended 31st March 2022, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet and related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

This report is made solely to the Trustees as a body, in accordance with Section 154 of the Charities Act 2011.  Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s Trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s Trustees as a body for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. 

## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Auditors** 

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts which give a true and fair view. 

We have been appointed as auditors under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under Section 154 of that Act.  Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland).  Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors. 

## **Scope of the audit of financial statements** 

An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error.  This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the charity’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the Trustees; and the overall presentation of the financial statements.  In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the Trustees’ report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements.  If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies, we consider the implications for our report.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022**

Maison De L’institut De France A Londres is registered with the Charity Commission in the United Kingdom as a charity. The charity’s registered number and principal office address can be found in the Trustees Report. 

## **2. Accounting policies** 

## **Basis of preparation of financial statements** 

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 UK 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 Charities Act 2011.
