The Arts Council is the national body for the arts in England . We distribute public money from government and the lottery to artists and arts organisations, both directly and through th e 10 Regional Arts Boards ; we commission new work ; conduct research ; provide advice and information ; and develop awarenes s and support for the arts in this country. We are an independent , non-political body working at arms length from the Government. Through all our work, we aim for excellence and seek to mak e the highest artistic achievements available to the widest public ; to be proactive in encouraging new work ; to integrate the arts more fully within education ; to bring the challenge of new art i n all forms to as many people as possible ; and to celebrate th e diversity of England's cultural background . The Arts Council's 1999 annual report is published in three sections : • Annual Review • Accounts • National Lottery Report

Art Collectio n The Arts Council collection has been valued by the curator at f26,973,125 at 31 March 1999 . A large collection of works of art was donated to the Art s Council in January 1999 . This is currently being valued and does not form part of the value of the Arts Council collection at the year end . The purpos e of the collection is to increase the understanding and appreciation of contemporary art and to widen its audience through loans to other galleries, publi c institutions and exhibitions . Due to this the Arts Council of England has elected not to revalue the Art Collection . It is not held for investment or resale .

11 Costs apportioned to the lotter y The Financial Directions issued by the Secretary of State require that indirect costs shared between grant-in-aid funded activities and lottery funde d activities should be apportioned between the two in accordance with good accounting practice . Overhead costs have been allocated to gran t distributing departments in proportion to those departments' own costs . The resulting full costs of grant distributing departments are apportione d between activities to be funded by grant-in-aid and activities to be funded by the lottery in proportion to time spent .

26 Related partie s The Department for Culture, Media and Sport is the sponsoring department for the Arts Council of England ands regarded as a related party. Regiona l Arts Boards are similarly regarded as related parties by virtue of the funding relationship with the Arts Council . During the year the Arts Council o f England had various material transactions with the Regional Arts Boards, the British Film Institute, the Crafts Council and the London Film and Vide o Development Agency for which the Department for Culture, Media and Sport is also considered the sponsoring department .

As a matter of policy and procedure, Council members and Panel members maintain publicly available registers of interests and declare any direc t interests in grant applications made to the Council and commercial relationships with the Council . They exclude themselves from the relevant gran t appraisal, discussion and decision processes within the Council .

Some Council members are also Trustees, Governors or Board members of other bodies to which grants have been made by the Arts Council i n 1998-99 . Between April and June 1998, ten Council members were also chairmen of the Regional Arts Boards . In no such case was there any possibilit y of personal financial gain for Council members .

The Executive Director of Planning and Resources was the Chief Executive of South West Arts before his appointment to the Art s Council of England .

The provision includes costs apportioned from grant-in-aid in accordance with th e accounting policy on apportioned costs stated in note 1 to these accounts.

An Actuarial Valuation of the Pension Fund takes place every three years . A valuation as at 1 April 1999 is being undertaken and will be completed b y September 1999 . On advice of the actuary, the employer's contribution for 1998/99 was set at 9 .4% (9 .4% 1997/98) . The effect of the restructuring o n the Arts Council Retirement Plan is being monitored and will be known when the actuarial valuation is completed .

The Scheme is financed by payments by the Council and employees into a trustee-administered fund independent of the Council's finances . These contributions are invested by a leading fund management company. The net market value of Scheme assets at 31 March 1999 was £28,776,800 . The actuarial value of the assets were sufficient to cover 116% of the value of the benefits accrued to members at the last valuation date of 1 April 1996 .

However, the share of these balances attributable to the Arts Council of England is as shown in the accounts and, at the balance sheet date, has been notified b y the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport as being available for distribution by the Arts Council of England in respect of current an d future commitments .

The funds are invested on behalf of the National Lottery Distribution Fund by the National Debt Commissioners . The Arts Council's distribution is i n accordance with Sections 22 and 23 of the National Lottery etc Act 1993 (as amended by the National Lottery Act 1998) .

Total hard commitments 359,765 584,30 7

In 1998, the full amount committed under three film franchise agreements of £95,670,000 was treated as hard commitments at the year end . However in the light of the actual operation of the scheme, whereby each film made under the franchises has to be individually approved by Council , the treatment has been revised . It has been decided that only the individual film grants awarded from the franchise scheme should be treated as har d commitments . Consequently the sum of f85,297,591 has been reversed from hard commitments back to soft commitments . This is reflected in th e movement in the year. 11 Creditors 1999 199 8 £0005 £0005

20 Related partie s The Department for Culture, Media and Sport is the sponsoring department for the Arts Council of England and is regarded as a related party . Regiona l Arts Boards are similarly regarded as related parties by virtue of the funding relationship with the Arts Council . During the year the Arts Council of England had various material transactions with the Regional Arts Boards, the British Film Institute, the Crafts Council and the London Film and Video Development Agency for which the Department for Culture, Media and Sport is also considered the sponsoring department .

As a matter of policy and procedure, Council members and Lottery Panel members maintain publicly available registers of interests and declare any direc t interests in grant applications made to the Council and commercial relationships with the Council . They exclude themselves from the relevant grant appraisal, discussion and decision processes within the Council . The same records will be maintained of staff members in future .

Some Council members are also Trustees, Governors, Board Members of other bodies to which grants have been made by the Arts Council in 1998/99 . Between April and June 1998, ten Council members were also chairmen of the Regional Arts Boards . In no such case was there any possibility o f personal financial gain for Council members .

The Executive Director of Planning and Resources was the Chief Executive of South West Arts before his appointment to the Arts Council of England .
