RESERVES LEVELS AND POLICY
All the charit¢e$ •Jministered by the trustee depend on investment Inc0Th￿ for the funding of their annual
charitable expenditure. Onty the Fo￿da1￿￿'S Unrestr￿le￿ Ir￿ne reserves {augmenied from time to time by
drawing down from its disCret￿n￿ expendable endown*nl to cover ex￿P1K)nal spending} are expendable
entsrely at the Irustee's own discrelM)n. Therefore. the Ir￿ of the edUCat￿al trusts is all accounted for in
these combined arcounls as restricted ￿￿rne for the pur[￿ ofthe undertying trusts. However. the
tfuslee's reserves Fohcy for e&h of the ctharilies is separalety determined and reFQrted as belLW.
Foundation
The trustee aFproved that the level of free reseryes shoukl be a ry¥nimum of 12 nTr)nths and a maximum of 24
months of the average total expenditure incurred by the iwst over the pr*)r three years. This will allow the
trust to ¢￿tinue to meet its ongc4ng conYThfvts ar¥J for future expeThJitu￿.
At 2025 levels this results in a minimum level of £183.000 and a maximum level of £366.000. Current
reserves are £349.000 so within the required range.
The Trust also hokjs a discretionary expendable endowment. The trustee monitors and reviews the level of
income reserves against policy, along wrth this erKl0w￿nt al each Board meeting. As at 31 December
2025 unrestricted reserves stood at £349,000 (2024". £356.IXIOI and the expendable endowment was over
£2.7m. The Trustees will conts.nue to review this overall position and the opp)rtunity arise consider
use of the expendable endowment lo fvrther its chantable aims.
The Foundation depends on inVestn￿t incon* from the dis¢relKinary endthvment resulting Irom its
ongoing Foundation Campaign appeal. whose terms of trust have created an expendable endowment for
the funding of the Foundatwjn's charitable athitie5 contemplated by the donor. Any unused donations and
their investment returns are expendable al Ihe trustee's thvn discretion.
CATER
CATER mainty deFends on volUnt￿Y NKome for ￿ funding of its thwilat4e expenditure on educalional
purposes. this in rrind. the trustee's reserves pdicy requres a min1r￿M of six rI￿thS and a maximum
of 12 months, of CATER expendiiure as freety avaiLable income reserves. As at 31 December 2025 CATER'S
undestgnated free reserves were running slightty high at £907,0￿ equatiTh3 to 15 nN)nlhs' expenditure. as per
the maximum level under this policy12024'. 14 rrrf)nth51. The increase in the reseThes are due to a reducts'on in
stsff costs and the purchase of electronic wc%1￿1S. Grfl aid from the ICAEW ts forecast to reduce in fuiure
years to bring reserves b&k within required level&
PDLT
The Iruslee believes it is prudent lo keep a balance of at least Ihe existing and one year's prospective
commitments and one year's administratpie expenses in unrestn.cted PDLT reseNes against the risk of a
sustained dedine in investment i￿)Me. This is based on an average of the last three years results and
would require maximum Ir￿ome reserves of £216.Cl)O. unreStr￿ted reserves as at 31 t)e￿rnber 2025
amounted to £1,073.OW12024'. £1.003.0001. which equated to 77 months total expendrture.
An enquiry with the Charity Commissic¥i is currentty undepway to try and expand Ihe objects of the trusts to
further utilise the fund5 available.
CAPET
The trustee believes rt is yudent to keep a minimum of iwo years. forecast examinabon pnze expenditure
and a maximum of three time5 forecast totsl expendtture in unrestitted income reserves against the risk of
a sustained decline in investrnent income. That would indicate income reserves of betsveen £105.000 and
£219.000. The reserves of £569,000 as al 31 Dec8rnber 2025 are in excess of the reseNes poli￿(2024.
£620.000.' in excess of policy). In line with CAPET'5 secondary objectNes. the trustees approved additional

IJIAJOR RISKS
The principal Tisks f&ed by the tharitable trusts as idents"f*d by the trustee lie in the performance of
irweslments and operational risks from ineffective granl making and, more hjndamentaty, major incidents
such as flUctuatic￿$ in interest rates. infiathon, cyber-attth. gknbal pa￿lemics, polilul unrest the effects
of terrorist activty.
The truslee cwssiders the volatilty of investment returns and b)ng-lerm k)s5es on the pemianent
en¢Jowment fvnd lo be the charity's major finanoal risk. It accepts some short-term variability as part of tts
long-lemi investment strategy. This is mitigated by retsiniry the appropriate expertise from the investment
managers and by having a dNersrfied investment porttdio.
The reputational risk from making inappropriate 9rants is managed by a rewting and review process.
This assists us in keeping track of deVe1opff￿ts and to on the public benefit dertved from our
funding of their work.
Major incidents could disrupt Library operatwjns and resutt in loss of propety, dats and staff. The Library
participates in ICAEWS business continuty plans which are subject to regular review.
The trustee has an established risk anatysis Pr￿esS vthich identifEs ihe major risks to which the charitsble

Oplnlon
We have audited the financial ststeffEnts of ICAEW FOundat￿n for the year ended 31 December 2025
which comprise the Slalemenl of FMancial Ath"vitEs. the BalarKe Sheet. the Statement of Cash Flows and
notes to the financial slatements. i￿luding a summary of sKJnthcant ￿CoUnting policies. The financial
reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom
Accounting Standards. including FRS 102 The Financ￿1 Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and
Republic of Ireland (Unrted Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting PraCt￿e).
In our opinion, the financial statements".
give a true and fair view of the state of the chanty's affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of the
charity's net movement in funds for the year then ended."
have been property p￿Pared in aCcLydar￿e with Uniled Kingdom Generalty Accepted Accounbng
Practice.. and

Basls for opinlon
We have been apF#Jnled as auditor under Sect￿ 144 of the chant￿ Act 2011 and report in accordance
with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. We conducted our audit in
ac￿dance with International Standards on AudilirvJ (UK) {ISAs (UKI) and applicable law. Our
responsibilities under those stsndards are hjrther descnted in the Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of
the financial ststemenls section of our report We are independent of the charity in accordance with the

Ethical Siandard, and we have fvlfilled our other eth￿1 reSponsi￿.111*S in accordance with these
requirements. We believe that the audit e¥￿er￿e we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate lo provide
a basis for our opinim.
concl￿10n5 relatlng to going c(KKarn
In auditing the financial statements. we have concluded that tt)e trustee's use of the going concern basis of
iunling in the preparation of the finanual stalemnts is appropnate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identffied any mater￿1 uncertainties relating to events
or conditions that. individually or collectNety. may cast swjnitsnt doubt on the chanty's ability lo continue
as a going concern for a period of at least ￿fve M￿th$ from when the finar￿la1 slatewEnts are
authorised for issue.
Our responsibilrties and the resp)ngkylib'es of ts trustee with respect to going concern are described in
the relevant sectKsns of this report.

In connection with ojr audit of the financial statements, our responsitmlty is to read the other infomalion

we have nol received all the infom)ation aThJ explanations we ￿uIre for our a￿lt.
Re8pon8lbllltles of the trustee for th8 Ilnanclal slatem•nts
As explained rr¥)re fulty in the trustee's responsibilit￿5 ststement set out on page 31. the trustee is
resp(￿sIble for the preparatson ol the financial statements and for being satisfied that they gNe a true and
fair view. and for such internal control as the trustee detem)ines is necessary to enable the preparation of
finaneAal statements that are free from mater￿1 M￿Statemen( whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the finanaal ststements, the trustee is res￿￿￿$1b￿ for assessing the charity's a￿"11ty lo
continLte as a going concern, disclosing. as applicable, matters related to going concem and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the trustee etther intends to 1￿4U1daIe the charty ￿ to cease
operalions. or has realisbc altematNe but to do so.
Auditor'8 responslbllltles for the audit of th¢ fina￿101 stalements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement. whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an audttor's report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assur3￿ is a hoh level ol assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) wil ahlays detect a material misstatement when rf( exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud CK error and are conswjered matenal if. individually or in the aggregate.
they could reasonably be eXp￿ted lo influerKe the ec*)nomic deci%￿nS of users taken on the basis of
these financial statements.
Irregularities. including fraud. are InStar￿ of non-￿rnFAianee ￿th laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities. outlined above. to delect material misslater￿n1$ in respect of
irregularities. including fraud. The extenl to whth cNJr W(￿l￿reS are capable of detecting irregularities,
including fraud is detailed below=
We obtained an understsnding of the kgal and reguLitory frameworks Ihal are applicable to the charity and
delemiined that the most significant are those related lo compliance with chanty law. and with the reporting
framewcKk, being the Chafilies SORP IFRS 10212019 and the Charities Act 2011. We undertook awjit
ocedures lo asses5 the extent of complhince with Ihese laws regulations and ensured thal these
were communicated within Ihe audil team regularty. The audit team remained alert lo instances of non-
compliance throughout the audit.
We evaluated mana9ement's incentNe5 and op[N)[￿n￿leS for fraudulent manipulation of the financial
statemen15 (including the risk of override of controls). and determined that the principal risks We￿ ￿lated
to the posting of inappropriate journal entries and management bia5 in accounts.ng esb"mates and
judgemen15. Audit procedures perfomied by the er￿jage￿nt team included..
inspecting correspondence wilh reguLgtor5'
discussion5 Wlth managemenl including ConS￿er81￿ of kn(ywn or suspected instances of non-
cotTyliance with laws and regulath)n and fraud:
evaluating management's controls ￿e￿gned lo prevent and detect iffegvlaritres;
review of the meeting minutes of the Irustee's direclors..
undertaking procedures to ￿entty and testjoumals, in partthlar journal entries wsled with
unusual descriptions or in seldom used accounts arKI those that signi￿antty impact on the result or
financial position of the charity.. and
challenging assumptions and judgerytnts m*Je by rnanagerr￿t in their critical accounting
estimates.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audrt. there is a risk that we will not detect all I￿egular1tI8S,
including those leading lo a material misststemenl in Ihe financial statements or r￿n-Compliance with
regulation. This risk increases the I￿re that compliance with a law or regulab'on is removed from the
events and transactions refflecled in Ihe finanual ststements. as we wll be less likely to become aware of
instances of non-complkince. The risk is al￿ g￿ater regarding irregularits.es occurring due lo fraud rather
