THE FVL8RIGHT FOUNDATION FINANCIALSTATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT TO THE TRUSTEE OFTHE FULBRIGHT FOUNDATION Opinion We have audited the financial 5tatement5 of The Fulbright Foundation for the year ended 30 September 2023 which cornprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balarnce Sheet and notes to the finèncial statement5, including a summary of 5igNificant accounting policies. The financial reporting frameworkthat has been applied in their ppatIOn is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Stand3rds, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK alld Republic Of Ireland, (United Kin8dom Generalty Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion the financial statements.. give a true and fair view of the State of the charity's affairs as at 30, September 2023, and of its incoming resources and application of resource5, 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 requirement5 of the Charities Act 2011. Basls for oplnlon We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing IUKI IISAS IUKII and applicablè law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's 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 staterllents 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 obtailled is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Conclusions lating to golng ¢on¢ern In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustèes, usè 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 condition5 that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going collcern for a period of at least twelve months from when the linancial statement5 are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the tru5tee5 Wlth 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, other than the financial statements and our auditols report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other informatlon. Our
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. In connection with our audit of the financial Stateents, 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 materlal inconsistencies or apparent maierial misstatements, we are required to deterrnine whether there is a material mi5Statement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that ihere 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 whi¢h we are required to report by exception We have nothing to report in respect of thè following matters where the Charities Att 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion.. the Information given in the Trustee5' Annual Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements- or the charity has r)ot kept adequate accounting records,. or the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and retums: or we have not received all the information and explanatioris we required for our audit. Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the trustees, responsibilities statement set out on page 8. the trustees are responslble for the preparatlon of the financlal statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such snternal control as the trustees deterrnine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing thè financial stat@mÈnts, the trustees are responsible for asse55ing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosin& as applicable, matters lated to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees @ithèr intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do 50. Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulation5 made under section 154 of that Act. Our objettives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement5 as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorfs report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assvrance is a high level of assurance, but 15 not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance wilh ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with law5 and Tegulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect io
of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable gf detecting irregularities, includin8 fraud is detailed be50w. Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable ol detecting irregularities, including fraud The oblectives of our audSt in respect of fraud, are,. to Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud,. to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed rlsks of materlal mlsstatement due to fraijd, through designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed ris,. and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified durin8 the audil. However, Ihe primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governance of the charitable company. Our approach was as follow5.. we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the charitable company through the use of permanent audit file information, updated this year for any changes that have been identified by management or by our own investigations and considered that the most significant are the Charities Act 2011, the Charity SORP, and UK financial reporting standards as issijed by the Financial Reporting Council,. we obtained an understanding Df how the charitable company complies with these requirements by di5CUS510nS Wlth management and th05e charged with governance and thiough reviews of relevant accounting and management records,. we assessed the risk of material misstatement of the financial 5tatemenls. including the risk of material misstatemènt due to fraud and how it might occur, based on ourwork as OEJtlined above; we enquired of management and those charged with governance as to any known instances of non-compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regu13tions, using associated documentary evidence to better understand items of interest: ased on thls understandlng, we designed specific appropriate audit procedures to identify instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. well as specific audit testing, this included approaching accounilng retords with an inquisltive and sceptical mindset such thai we examined items that were felt to be of interest or of higher risk in this area, and obtaininE addilional corroborative evldence as qUIre(l. To address the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we carried oyt the following work.. procedures were undertaken to identify any unusual or unexpected matters, and the rationale behind any such matters wa5 exarllined,. journal entries were reviewed to identify unusual transattions. judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out ir) the accounting policies were r&viewed. Its part of an audit in accordance with ISAS IUKI we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also.. li
Identtfy and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a rM3terial misstatement resuliing from fraud is higher than forone resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional Dmissions, misrepresentaiions, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate the circumstance5, bt not for the purposes of expressin£ an opinion on the effertiveness of the charity's internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reosonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees. Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees, use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, wheiher a materlal uncertainty exlsts related to event5 or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a goihg concern. If we conclude that a material uncertalnty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures the financial 5taternent5 or, if such disclosures are inadequate, io modlfy our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of OLtr auditorfs report. However, future events orconditions may causè the charity to cease to continL¢e as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, strueture and conteni of the flnanclal statements, Includingthe disc105ure5, alld whether the financial statements represent the underlying transaction5 and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant auditfindings, including any Significant deficiències in internal control that we Identify durlng our audit. Use of our report Thls report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 8 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 ir) an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to any party other than the charity ènd charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work. for this report, or for ihe opinion we have forrned. 25 July 2024 statutory auditor 9 Appold Street London EC2A2AP Moore Kingston Smith LLP 15 eligible to act as auditor in terms of Section 1212 of the Companies Act 2006. 12
