The Trustees wiil continue to manage the fund in order to increase reserves and further the aims of the charity.
In order to meet its objectives, the charity aims to maintain an appropriate amount of the total fund in liquid reserves at all times in order to be able to respond to suitable applications as and when they arise. Therefore, unlike many charities, The Andrew Salvesen Family Trust may reduce expenditure on charitable activities in one financial year, with a view to increasing the level of reserves available to meet its charitable objectives in future years.
It is the charity's policy to maintain funds at a level which will enable it to continue to meet its charitable objectives.
All funds of the charity are unrestricted.
The principal funding source is investment income from the portfolio of investments held, the gains arising on such investments when sold together with donations received.
All investments heid by the charity are held in a portfolio managed by Brewin Dolphin.

Inflation has caused uncertainty in the stock markets, however the Trustees are pleased to report that since the year end the market value of listed investments has increased. It is expected that the markets will remain volatile for the foreseeable future.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE ANDREW SALVESEN FAMILY TRUST
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Andrew Salvesen Family Trust (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 5 April 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities including income and expenditure account, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 .The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (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 5 April 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, 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 Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
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 Trustees' use 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 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 financial statements are 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 other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 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 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 to 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 to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustees’ report; or
-
- proper accounting records have not been kept; or - the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or - certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or - we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. ;
Responsibilities of Trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of Trustees’ responsibilities, the Trustees 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 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 Trustees are 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 Trustees either intend to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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 specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are detailed below.
We assessed the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatement and how fraud might occur, including through discussions with the Trustees, discussions within our audit team planning meeting, updating our record of internal controls and ensuring these controls operated as intended. We evaluated possible incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements.
We identified laws and regulations that are of significance in the context of the charity by discussions with Trustees and by updating our understanding of the sector in which the charity operates. Laws and regulations of direct significant in the context of the charity include Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 2019.
We assessed the susceptibility of the financial statements, including fraud, and considered the fraud risks to be management override of controls and revenue recognition in respect of investment income. Our tests included, but were not limited to:

-
Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business.
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to the risk of material misstatements in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting a misstatement resulting from error, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed as fraud can involve intentional concealment, collusion, misrepresentation, intentional omission, or the override of internal controls which can increase the risk of non-detection.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Other matters

This condition has now been met and the donation of £50,000 has now been paid, hence there is no contingent liability to be noted as at 5 April 2025.
