The Trustees, who were in post at 31 March 2022 and at the date of this report are set out on page 3. Dr VA Hammond was appointed as a Trustee on 1 May 2021. The Vice-Chancellor of the University is an ex-officio Trustee. The Council of the University appoints up to four of the total number of Trustees, excluding the Vice-Chancellor, and at the date of this report three of these posts were filled. The remaining non ex-officio Trustees are recruited from individuals recommended by the existing Trustees. No Trustees, whether ex-officio or non-ex-officio, receive benefits from the Trust in their capacity as Trustees other than occasional out of pocket expenses. Under the Trust Deed, Trustees may serve two consecutive three-year terms of office. They can be nominated to serve further terms but only after one year has elapsed from the date of the termination of their previous appointment. Mrs HA Parker, Prof D Burn, Mr W Connolly and Mrs VS Johnston are currently serving their second consecutive term of office. In the period, following legal advice, it was agreed by Trustees Resolution, to extend the term of Mrs HA Parker as Chair of the Trust past May 2022. This was agreed on the basis that the relationship between the Development Trust and the University is at a critical point. The relationship between the two organisations has changed dramatically and the University are about to launch the Campaign for Newcastle. The Development Trust will play an integral role in the Campaign, and the Chair has been involved with the planning for the Campaign, including being invited to sit on the Campaign Advisory Circle. ## **Trustee induction and training** On appointment, new Trustees receive an induction pack and are offered the opportunity to attend relevant courses. The induction pack contains, inter alia, copies of: the Trust Deed, the Trustee Act 2000 Policy Statement, the Trust Risk Register, the last two sets of the Trustees’ Report and Accounts, minutes of recent Trustee meetings and Sub-Committee meetings, and the Charity Commission booklet “The Essential Trustee”. During their term of office Trustees are encouraged to attend courses and conferences appropriate to their roles. ## **Organisational structure and decision making** Trustees’ Meetings are held twice each year and at such other times as the administrative requirements of the Trust dictate. An Investment SubCommittee holds meetings at least twice each year with the Investment Manager and there were four meetings during the year ended 31 March 2022. The Sub-Committee is chaired by the Honorary Treasurer (Mr DG Jennings). Mrs HA Parker and Mr N Swales are also Trustee members. The meetings are attended by the Trust Manager and the University Executive Director of Finance. The Sub-Committee reports to the full Board of Trustees twice each year. The Trustees form additional sub-committees in cases where the administration of endowments warrants them and such committees all report to the full Board of Trustees. 5 ## **THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE DEVELOPMENT TRUST and other related charities Trustee report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022** ## **Organisational structure and decision making (continued)** There are currently sub-committees involved in the administration of the WE Harker Foundation, the Randerson Foundation and the Robinson Library and Marjorie Robinson Bequest Funds. The award of studentships from the Harker and Randerson Foundations is carried out by the University Faculty of Medical Sciences Post Graduate Research Committee and Ms FJ Watson attended their meeting in February 2022 to represent the Trust. The Robinson Library/Marjorie Robinson Bequest Sub-Committee was chaired by Mrs HA Parker and then Dr VA Hammond (from 1 May 2021) during the year, with Mr DG Jennings also a Trustee member. Ms FJ Watson is the Trust Manager. The Trust Manager is employed on a part-time basis, by way of a Secondment from Newcastle University. The Trust’s accounts are prepared by the University’s Finance Office and the Trust Manager. ## **Related party** The Trust is a registered charity, independent of the University. The Trust holds funds received from donors for the benefit of the University, but only distributes these funds to the University after checking compliance with the donors’ wishes. ## **Risk Management** The Trustees have considered the major risks to which the Trust is exposed and have reviewed those risks and established systems and procedures to manage those risks. The Trustees consider poor performance and variability of investment returns on the endowments to constitute the Trust’s primary financial risk, compared to our target long term real rate of return of 4.5% p.a. The extreme volatility in world stock markets in recent years, and particularly through 2021 and into 2022, has demonstrated this risk. In March 2021 the Trustees agreed to take action to change its fund management arrangements in order to enhance its investment in funds demonstrating Environmental, Social and Governance credentials; whilst mitigating its exposure to the equities market by investing in two alternative diversifier strategies. Aon proposed two replacement funds and a change in the Asset Allocation target, with a recommendation that 70% of funds be held in the new Global Impact Equities Fund (+/-5%) and 30% be held in two Diversified return funds. This revised asset allocation was approved by NUDT Trustees in March 2021. The necessary actions to make this change happened on 31[st] March 2021, and into early April 2021, with investment in a new Global Impact Equities Fund, and two Diversifier Funds to provide a degree of protection to the Trust in times of equity volatility. The funds continue to be managed by Aon Solutions UK Limited (formerly HRMSL and Aon Investment Limited) during the year of account, with scrutiny and oversight of their performance being undertaken by the Investment Sub-Committee in May 2021, November 2021, and May 2022. In addition, the endowments are managed on a total return basis, as explained in the section headed ‘Financial Review: Investment Policy and Objectives’. The Trustees consider the use of the total return approach stabilises the resources available for making grants to the University. The Trustees considered the main operational risk during this period to be associated with the retirement of the University’s Director of Finance. To manage 6 ## **THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE DEVELOPMENT TRUST and other related charities Trustee report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022** ## **Organisational structure and decision making (continued)** this risk the Chair, Treasurer and Trust Manager met with the outgoing and incoming Directors of Finance as part of their handover and have continued to meet with the new Director of Finance on a regular basis. This risk is expected to be removed from the register early in the 2022/2023 year. The Trustees review these risks and other subsidiary risks identified in the Risk Register on an ongoing basis and satisfy themselves that adequate systems and procedures are in place. ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** ## **Public Benefit** Following the introduction of provisions regarding public benefit in the Charities Act 2011, the Trustees have reviewed the objectives and activities of the Trust in the context of the published guidance on public benefit produced by the Charity Commission. The Trustees consider that the objectives and activities of the Trust comply with this guidance and that, specifically, they support the University in the advancement of education and medical research for the public benefit. ## **Objects** The Trust was established to raise, receive and administer funds for the benefit of the University. The objects of the Trust remain as defined in the original Trust Deed: “such purposes as are exclusively charitable according to the Law of England and Wales and are deemed to further the work of the University.” The role of fundraising was assigned to the University Development and Alumni Relations Council on its creation in 2003. With the growth of the University Development Office, now called the Advancement Office, and the dissolution of the Development and Alumni Relations Council, fundraising is now led by the Advancement Team. As provided in the Trust Deed, all funds are held solely for the benefit of the University. Grants are not made to any other individuals, organisations or charities. ## **Aims** The long term aims of the Trust are: - To receive and invest donations to support the goals of the University and to distribute the funds to the University, within the context of the wishes of the donors and in accordance with Charity Law. - To maximise the benefit derived from those donations received, through the effective and efficient management and investment of funds. 7 ## **THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE DEVELOPMENT TRUST and other related charities Trustee report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022** ## **Main objectives for the period** The Trust’s main objectives for the year ended 31 March 2022 were as follows: - To continue to liaise closely with the University as to their potential requirements for support over the short medium and long term with a view to developing a 5 year expenditure plan in conjunction with the Trustees stated aim to increase the annual level of support that the University receives from the Trust. - To continue to monitor closely the performance of the Investment Manager, especially in view of the turbulence in the markets as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic. - To continue with the review of individual endowments that support posts and, where appropriate, to explore potential opportunities for realignment with the current needs of the University, through discussions with donors and the Charity Commission. - To continue with the implementation of the recommendations from the governance review so that the Trustees can better demonstrate that the Trust is meeting the Charity Commission’s requirements. - To recruit at least two new Trustees. ## **Strategy to deliver objectives** - Work with the University to determine the best focus for increased distribution - Review with the Investment Manager, at the six monthly Investment Sub-Committee meetings, the investment performance of the Endowment Funds and report the discussions to the full Trustees’ meetings. - The Investment Sub-Committee to consider the use of CPI and decide whether to make a proposal to the full Board to amend the target return. - The Investment Sub-Committee to consider alternative methods of calculating distributions in the light of the outcome of the Trustees’ strategy review. - Continue discussions with the University, donors and the Charity Commission to update endowment names and objects where necessary. - The Governance Sub-Committee to progress the implementation of the recommendations arising from the Governance Review. ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** **Versus long term aims** - The Trust’s funds have been invested to achieve a level of total return which has enabled the Trust to maintain the distribution rate of 4.5% of Fund value at the beginning of the year to the University, as well as to maintain the value of the Fund in real terms. - The total value of the Trust’s charitable funds decreased during the year by £0.643m from £61.194m to £60.551m. This change included costs of £0.058m (2021: £0.051m); distribution payments of £5.068m (2021: £4.760m) to the University; and new donations received/receivable of £0.731m (2021: £0.124m). The invested funds in the year increased to £59.911m (2021: £56.178m). This capital movement of £3.733m was due to 8 ## **THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE DEVELOPMENT TRUST and other related charities Trustee report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022** ## **Versus long term aims (continued)** - investment gains in the year (2021: £13,639). The unusually high level of capital gain in 2021 was the result of the value of equities improving significantly in that year as governments across the world addressed the financial fall out of Covid 19 resulting in a substantial investment gain. - The stated objective of the Fund was to maintain the value of the funds in real terms and seek to outperform the composite benchmark by 1% or more. Further details are set out in the Financial Review section below. ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** - Funds have been distributed to the University twice during the period, in accordance with the donors’ wishes. - The Trustees encourage feedback from beneficiaries. The Trustees received a number of letters and reports from students who have received - scholarships or bursaries from the Trust, all of which were very appreciative. Extracts from a few of these are included here: _“My lack of a quality personal computer has also impacted my university work thus far, as I've only been able to sufficiently complete my work on site - something that isn't practical in the later hours of the day in which I often have a want to complete work or further my knowledge in relation to my field of study. This award will allow me to invest in a personal computer, effectively increasing the hours that I'm able to work and allowing for further flexibility in when and how I work, further contributing to a healthier work-life balance for myself. For this, I'm incredibly grateful.”_ **Bursary recipient, studying Computer Science** _“This bursary will allow me to complete my studies as well as give me a great deal of financial security and the peace of mind that comes with it. As my family cannot always support me financially, money at university has always been one of my biggest stressors, so I truly cannot put into words how much this bursary will mean to me, and how much it will improve my mental health.”_ **Bursary recipient, studying Public Health** - Following the Trustees’ Strategy Day in 2019, and discussion at the Trustees’ Meeting in January 2020, it was agreed that the Trust would fund 100% of the cost of posts supported by the Trust over the next 3 to 5 years, starting in 2020/2021. - Continuing with the Trustees stated aim to increase the annual level of support that the University receives from the Trust, the Trustees pledged £500,000 over five years, to support the new Newcastle Student Fund at the University. The Trustees were delighted to see the first instalment of this used as match funding to encourage donations from other supporters. - The implementation of the recommendations from the Governance Review has continued during the year, including amongst other matters, the completion of the Trustees’ Skills audit. 9 ## **THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE DEVELOPMENT TRUST and other related charities Trustee report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022** ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** ## **Introduction and Principal Funding Sources** As background, all the funds held by the Trust are applied for specific purposes in connection with the University’s work. Accordingly, it is the Trustees’ aim to invest these funds to maximise the total return (capital and income) from the funds, in accordance with prudent investment principles. This maximises the payments that can be made to the University whilst aiming to preserve the real value of the funds. Thus, the principal funding sources for the Trust are investment income and realised and unrealised gains and losses on investments. During the year there was no direct investment income received in respect of funds held with the Aon AIL Adept Funds, as income from these funds is accumulated, however £19,000 of direct investment income was received in respect to the funds held on the Flagstone Deposit Platform during the year. In addition, the Trust receives donations and gifts which are designated for particular University purposes. As previously indicated, however, the Trust is not engaged in fundraising and so has no direct control over the level of donations and gifts received. Legacies received in the year were as follows: - In December 2021, the Trust received a further contribution of £0.200m to the Alice Stephenson Bequest for Cancer Research from Mrs Stephenson’s estate bringing the total received so far to £1.144m. The Trust were informed at the yearend that a further amount in the region of £0.530m is due in 2023 as settlement of the Estate this has been included in debtors as ‘donation receivable’. - In June 2021 a residual amount if £0.001m was received as a final payment from the Foxcroft estate bringing the total donation received over the last couple of years to £2.415m relating to this expendable endowment. ## **Nature of the funds held** All but one of the funds have been given by donors for specific “ring-fenced” purposes and are typically utilised to support the salary costs of individual posts such as Chairs and Lectureships and also to support student-related scholarships and awards in various academic Schools within the University. The largest Fund, the Marjorie Robinson Bequest, was given for the benefit of the Library. Funds have usually been received in response to specific appeals, or in the form of bequests for the benefit of particular aspects of the University’s teaching or research. There were 106 Funds held at 31 March 2022 which were categorised as follows: |Permanent Endowment

1| |---|---| ||106| 10 ## **THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE DEVELOPMENT TRUST and other related charities Trustee report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022** ## **Nature of the funds held (continued)** It can be seen that, similar to the Endowments, all but one of the Income Funds are Restricted, i.e. donors have given directions as to how the monies are to be spent. In the case of Restricted Income Funds which are linked to Endowments the Trustees do not seek to hold reserves but rather to hold income in a designated fund until detailed spending proposals have been received in order to be sure that expenditure fully complies with the terms of the Endowment. In the case of Restricted Income Funds which are not linked to an Endowment 2022: £0.018m (2021: £0.038m), monies have been received for expenditure over the short-term so have not been invested within the Trust’s Endowment portfolio. The Trustees keep all Funds under review, receiving detailed reports twice each year, and take such action as is necessary ensure that donors’ conditions continue to be met. ## **Results for the period** Following a large decrease the value of the Trust’s investment funds in 2020 of £7.078m, the value of equities improved significantly in 2021 as governments across the world addressed the financial fall out of Covid 19 resulting in a substantial investment gain of £13.640m. However, this was in the context of uncertainty in global economies and financial markets. Returns during 2021/22 have continued to be positive, gaining £3.733m, though our returns have reduced compared to a ‘highwater-mark of November 2021, reflecting a recovery in world markets after most of the COVID pandemic, but before the outbreak of war in Ukraine, which had, and continues to have, a major destabilising effect on world economies. The Trust’s investment portfolio in 2021/22 delivered variable returns. Whilst there was positive growth in the total asset value of the Trust, the Global Impact Equities Strategy underperformed compared to its benchmark and compared to the investment objective (which is benchmark plus 1%). One year return was +6.6%, compared to benchmark of +9.6%, (3% lag), and a 4% lag compared to the investment benchmark of 10.6%. The Diversifier Strategies both performed better compared to benchmarks, though with some variability, and with the Alternative Diversifier Strategy performing better than the Diversified Alternatives Strategy. In their May 2022 meeting the Investment Sub-Committee spent their time focusing with Aon on understanding the variable returns being delivered, including the extent to which benchmarks have been influenced by the underlying strength in traditional industries such as Oil and Gas, which the Trustees decided to move away from in their April 2021 portfolio realignment. However, as disclosed in the previous two year’s Annual Reports, Trustees remain concerned about the relative underperformance of funds compared to our investment return target and compared to investment benchmarks. This risk is still reflected in our risk register (see above) and is the subject of ongoing discussion with our Investment Managers, Aon Solutions UK Limited. The performance of Aon Solutions UK Limited was scrutinised by the Investment Sub-Committee during the year. The year-end value of the funds is shown below together with their performance (net of fees) compared with their benchmark. The investment in new funds, completed in the subsequent financial year 2021/22, is shown further below for completeness. 11 ## **THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE DEVELOPMENT TRUST and other related charities Trustee report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022** ## **Results for the period (continued)** ## **Funds’ Performance 2021/22** ||**Value**

Therefore it has been agreed that going forward CPI will be used as a measure of inflation. ## **Investment Policy and Objectives** Since 1994 the Trust has operated a total return policy (capital and income) for its Endowment Funds. This was formalised by the Charity Commission through a sealed order from 6 August 2003 onwards. The Charity Commission also formalised, through a sealed order, the Trust’s pooling scheme from 24 October 2003 onwards. This scheme authorises the Trust to combine its individual Permanent and Expendable Endowment Funds into one pooled fund and, separately, to also combine its Income Funds into one pooled fund. The Charity Commission has also confirmed that the base date for the purpose of Calculating the unapplied total return for the Permanent Endowment Funds can be the date on which donations have been received and the accounts have been prepared on this basis. The anticipated long term real rate of return from the Trust’s Endowment Funds is 4.5% per annum. The annualised rate of 4.5% is unchanged from last year. The Investment Sub-Committee continues to monitor this rate closely in conjunction with the Investment Manager, in order to balance the needs of both present and future beneficiaries. This is to ensure that annual distributions from Permanent Endowments will not 12 ## **THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE DEVELOPMENT TRUST and other related charities Trustee report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022** ## **Investment Policy and Objectives (continued)** exceed the anticipated long term real rate of return. This is derived from a combination of the benchmarks for each of the individual Adept Strategy Funds in which the assets are invested. The performance objective agreed with Aon AIL is to outperform the Composite Benchmark by 1% or more per annum over the long term. ## **Distribution to the University** The distribution of £2.701m (2021: £2.295m)is calculated as 4.5% of the opening market valuation of endowments 2022 £60.020m (2021 £50.993) The distribution is allocated as follows; £1.556m (2021: £1.350) paid directly to the University as a contribution to salary costs, £0.959m (2021: £0.891m) transferred to the Income Funds pending spending plans being submitted to the Trust and a further £0.186m (2021: £0.0054m) reinvested due to vacant posts in the year or sufficient balances on Income Funds. ## **Charitable Expenditure** The total charitable expenditure for the year was £5.068m (2021: £4.760m). The endowment portion in the year was £4.458m (2021 £3.789m). This is an aggregate of endowment distribution paid/payable to the University £1.574m (2021 £1.350m) and the accelerated payments to cover salary costs of £2.107m (2021 £1.136m). In addition endowment expenditure includes £0.1m relating to a contribution to the Newcastle University Student Fund (which is recurring for five years) and a £0.677 provision for an agreed contribution to the Farrell Centre currently under construction by the University which is to come from the Florence Kirby expendable endowment fund. In 2021 there was a one off agreement to cover library periodicals in the year (2021: £1.303m). The charitable expenditure of the income funds is the actual payments from the income fund following agreement by the Trustees to the University following Trustee approval of spending plans in the year it amounted to £0.610m (2021: £0.971m). ## **Transfer between Funds** A total of £0.938m (2021: £0.891m), from the endowment funds, passed to the income funds in relation to the distribution. An additional capital transfer of £0.023m (2021 £0.010m) gives the total transfer between endowment funds and income funds of £0.961m (2021 £0.901m) in the year. ## **Reserves Policy** The Trust has a less well-developed Reserves policy than many charities because of the “ring-fenced” nature of the majority of Funds it administers. In practice, should the income from a particular Fund prove insufficient to meet fully the costs of the designated area of activity within the University (e.g. the relevant academic salary), the University itself meets that shortfall from its own funds. The Trust holds an “Undesignated” Fund, valued at £0.005m (2021: £0.005m). 13 **THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE DEVELOPMENT TRUST and other related charities Trustee report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022** ## **Trustee Policy Act Statement** The Trust’s Trustee Policy Act Statement, is reviewed and approved annually. It includes detailed statements on: - The Trust’s aim in investing its Endowment Funds - Balance between capital growth and income generation - Investment powers and restrictions - Consideration of risk - The timing of payments to the University - Social, environmental and ethical practices - Review of the Policy Statement. ## **Going Concern** The Trustees are satisfied that preparation of the financial statements on the going concern basis is appropriate as they have reasonable expectation that the Trust will continue in existence for a period until at least 31 March 2023. This expectation is based on the level of funds held (£60m at 31 March 2022) and the fact that Newcastle University is the sole beneficiary of disbursements from the Trust. The value of Investments at 31 March 2022 was £59.9m and even if this valuation was to fall by 75%, this would reduce the number of years the Trust could make the annual disbursement to Newcastle University to four years, but it would not impact the immediate solvency of the Trust. The Trustees will always have the option to pause the distributions to the University should investments fall significantly and the funds not be available. ## **PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS** - To continue to liaise closely with the University as to their potential requirements for support over the short medium and long term with a view to developing a 5 year expenditure plan in conjunction with the Trustees stated aim to increase the annual level of support that the University receives from the Trust. - To continue to monitor closely the performance of the Investment Manager, especially in view of the turbulence in the markets as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic and the war in the Ukraine. - To continue with the review of individual Endowments that support posts and, where appropriate, to explore potential opportunities for realignment with the current needs of the University, through discussions with donors and the Charity Commission. - To continue with the implementation of the recommendations from the governance review so that the Trustees can better demonstrate that the Trust is meeting the Charity Commission’s requirements. - To consider and review incorporation of the Trust - To recruit at least two new Trustees. 14 ## **THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE DEVELOPMENT TRUST and other related charities Trustee report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022** ## **POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS** a University of Sanctuary, in light of the war in the Ukraine. The Trustees met and, following discussions, agreed to pledge a maximum of £1m of additional funding over a 12 month period, subject to a report being submitted to their summer 2022 Trustees Meeting, detailing both the demand for this funding and any actual or planned expenditure, therefore the actual level of this award is still to be confirmed. ## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES** The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under the law the Trustees have prepared the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including FRS 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. Under charity law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Trust and of net income or expenditure and application of resources of the Trust for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: - Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; - Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and - Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Trust will continue in operation. The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Trust’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Trust 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 Trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. ## **AUDITORS** Azets Audit Services Limited, trading as Azets Audit Services, were appointed as Auditors to the Trust during the year. Azets Audit Services have indicated their willingness to stand for reappointment at the forthcoming Trustees Meeting. **Approved by the Trustees and signed on their behalf by: DATE:** 15 **THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE DEVELOPMENT TRUST and other related charities Trustee report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022** **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE DEVELOPMENT TRUST FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** ## **Opinion** We have audited the financial statements of The University of Newcastle upon Tyne Development Trust (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2022, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Cashflow Statement and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is United Kingdom Accounting Standard, comprising Charities SORP - FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and applicable law (United Kingdom Generally 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 31 March 2022 and of its incoming resources and applica�on of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended; - have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accoun�ng Prac�ce; and - have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Chari�es 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 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 statements 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 financial statements, we have concluded that the trustee's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 16 ## **THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE DEVELOPMENT TRUST and other related charities Trustee report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022** 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 original financial statements were 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 trustee is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. 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 statements, 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 material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements 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** In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustee’s Report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: - adequate accoun�ng records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or - the financial statements are not in agreement with the accoun�ng records and returns; or - certain disclosures of trustee’s remunera�on specified by law are not made; or - we have not received all the informa�on and explana�ons we require for our audit. 17 ## **THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE DEVELOPMENT TRUST and other related charities Trustee report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022** ## **Responsibilities of the trustee** As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustee's Responsibilities (set out on page 15), the trustee is 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 trustee determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustee is 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 trustee either intends 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 financial statements** 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 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 users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 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: - Enquiries with management, about any known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud; - Reviewing board minutes; - Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates; and - Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness. Because of the field in which the client operates, we identified the following areas as those most likely to have a material impact on the financial statements: anti – bribery and corruption; and, compliance with the UK Charities Act. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK). For instance, the further removed non-compliance is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the auditor is to become aware of it or to recognise the non-compliance. 18 **THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE DEVELOPMENT TRUST and other related charities Trustee report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022** A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report. ## **Use of our report** This report is made solely to the charity trustee in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the trustee those matters we are required to state to the trustee in an auditors' 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 its trustee for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. ...................................... **Simon Brown BA ACA DChA (Senior Statutory Auditor) For and on behalf of Azets Audit Services** **Chartered Accountants** **Statutory Auditor Bulman House** **Regent Centre Gosforth** **Newcastle upon Tyne NE3 3LS** **Date:** **Azets Audit Services is a trading name of Azets Audit Services Limited** 19 **THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE DEVELOPMENT TRUST and other related charities Trustee report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022** ## **STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES for the Year Ended 31 March 2022** |**Notes**

The University of Newcastle upon Tyne Development Trust is an unincorporated Charity registered in England. The Registered Office is Newcastle University, King’s Gate, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 7RU. The financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) “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 UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). A summary of the principal accounting policies, which have been applied consistently, is set out below: ## **1(b) Donations and Legacies** Donations, gifts and legacies are recognised when there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. ## **1(c) Investment Income** Income for Restricted and Unrestricted Income Funds is allocated on the basis of actual interest receivable on the income fund bank accounts, in proportion to each income fund. There is no investment income for endowment funds. ## **1(d) Expenditure** All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. **Charitable Activities -** the costs identified as wholly or mainly attributable to achieving the charitable objects of the Trust, these are payments to Newcastle University to support their activities. **Other** - includes all other costs relating to the general running of the Trust such as external audit fees, legal advice for Trustees, and administration the costs of meeting constitutional and statutory requirements and administration provided by Newcastle University and recharge to the Trust. Investment Management Fees are currently deducted at source so are not included. Irrecoverable VAT is charged to the category of expenditure for which it was incurred. 23 **THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE DEVELOPMENT TRUST and other related charities Trustee report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022** ## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS** ## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** ## **1(e) Payments to Newcastle University** Grants payable are recognised when payment is authorised by the Trustees - (i) **Income Funds:** The Trust reimburses the University for expenditure incurred within the terms of the funds. (ii) **Endowment Funds** : For the period ended 31 March 2022 payments were made out of the Endowment Funds which comprise 4.5 % of the endowment assets at 31 March 2021. In addition the Trustees have agreed the release of further funds to cover the full salary costs incurred by the University and these accelerated payments have been included here. ## **1(f) Income Funds** Income funds are classified as either R **estricted** or **Unrestricted** Income Funds: **(i) Restricted Income Funds:** Donated for a specific purpose. There is no requirement to maintain the original level of the donation. These funds are further categorised: 'Income Funds **with** Supporting Endowments' - Income distributed from the endowments is placed on deposit pending approval of expenditure plans. 'Income Funds **with no** Supporting Endowments' - Funds donated with a definite purpose awaiting approval of expenditure plans. **(ii) Unrestricted Income Funds -** These are funds which are donated with no specific purpose. ## **1(g) Endowment Funds** Endowments are held in a separate pool and are invested via an Investment Manager. When monies are transferred to the Investment Manager they are deemed to acquire units within the investment pool. The total investment return is apportioned to each fund within the pool based on the number of units held. 24 **THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE DEVELOPMENT TRUST and other related charities Trustee report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022** ## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS** ## **1(g) Endowment Funds (continued)** Incoming resources comprise investment income, in the form of dividend income, and interest on the bank balances held by the Investment Manager. Expenditure relating to Endowment Funds is the distribution made to the University, at a rate approved by the Trustees, currently 4.5% per annum, proportion of other costs. If the Endowment is restricted to a particular post within the University and that post is vacant the University does not receive a distribution until the post is filled. The distribution during the vacant period is capitalised i.e. used to purchase an equivalent portion of units for the particular endowment. Endowment funds are categorised as either **Permanent** or **Expendable** : - **(i) Permanent -** Funds from which only unapplied total return can be spent. - **(ii) Expendable -** Funds which can be spent entirely, but only with the approval of the Trustees. ## **1(h) Fixed Asset Investments** Fixed asset investments are shown in the financial statements at their market value at the balance sheet date. The resulting unrealised surplus or deficit is credited or debited to the fund account through the movement of the funds in the Statement of Financial Activities. The AIL Adept Funds are valued at net asset value at the accounting date. ## **2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND TRUSTEES' REMUNERATION** Trustees have not received, and are not entitled to receive remuneration for their services (2021: £nil). No Trustees have reclaimed any expenses in the period (2021: £nil). The ultimate controlling party of the Trust is considered to be the Trustees. There are no related party transactions. ## **3. DONATIONS AND LEGACIES** Income from donations and legacies in the year amounted to £0.730m (2021: £0.124m). The donations in the year was an additional contribution from the Alice Stephenson Bequest for Cancer Research Endowment Fund. |**INVESTMENT INCOME**

So no employee received £60,000 per annum or above during the period (2021 £nil) and no provision therefore is needed for holiday pay accrual (2021 £nil). Office costs include a recharge from the University £0.025m (2021: £0.019) for support services provided by Newcastle University finance and administrative staff. This includes a charge for trust management services provides by Newcastle University Advancement Office. All recharges and office costs have been allocated to governance costs. None of the costs have been allocated to charitable activities as the role of fundraising has been assigned to the costs have been Advancement Office of the University. |**TRANSFERS**
