Report of The Trustees
Flnancial Review
The financial position of Plaffom has been stsble during the year. Incoming resources were £841,680 {2023-
£958,028) and expenditure levels were £810,85212023'. £939,369). The resources deployed by the organisation have
enabled the impact of our work to be sustsined and developed further. Substantial levels of restricted funding were
deferred into 2024125 providing continuity of income streams for our various projects.
During the year the organisation has been able to maintain its unreslricted reseNes at a level where they represent
three month running costs meaning that we remain at stage 2 of our reserves policy. This provides a stable foundation
for the organisation's future growth and development. Financial systems continue to be strengthened with the
introduction of adaptive capactty for finance staff, the streamlining of expenditure tracking systems and the
enhancement of financial planning through quartedy projections.
Plaffomi is sustained by numerous trusts, funding bodies and private donors mentioned elsewhere in this report and
we remain very appreciative of the vital support that they provide.
Reserves Policy
In line with the requirements ofthe Charity Commissionerfs guidance. trustees should have a reseNes policy based on
a realistic assessment of their reserve's needs. The Plafform ReseNes Policy requires..
Reserves to be developed and maintained at a level which ensures that Platfom's core activity could continue
during a period of unforeseen difficulty or, in the worst Case, provide for a controlled closure of Platfom's activities.
A proportion of reserves be maintained in a readily realisable form.
The calculation of the required minimum level of reserves is an integral part of the organisation's planning budget and
forecast cycle.
In the first stage of the reserves fund's development, Platfomi aimed to build a pool that makes provision to cover the
"Costs of Closure" This cost is currently estimated to be £125.000. The unrestricted reseNes are currently £264,477 as
at 31 March 2024 (2023.. £261.416}. The current level of reserves, therefore, is sufficient to meet the estimated funds
required to cover the costs of closure and to achieve the second stage of our reserves policy i.e., to reach a sum
equivalent to three months running costs.
Platfonn continues to implement a fundraising strategy to identify and maximise any income generating opportunities
thal will help build the reserves fund. to ensure that Platfomi's core activity could continue through a period of unforeseen
difficulty. Plattonn will continue to add to rts reserves fund until such time as the target figure is achieved.
Investment policy
The trustees have reviewed the issue of investments in the I￿h1 of the charity's position on Ethical Financing and
Fundraising. Plaffomi does not generally invest Fts fijnds.
Social Justice Waging
Wages are detemiined by Platform's ground-breaking Social Justice Waging System. Under this radical scheme, not
only are all staff subject to the same salary levels {regardless of position in the organisation). but the levels are also
adjusted according to need. For example, those with substantial inherited savings are paid less than those without, and
there are extra salary increases available to those with children or dependents. We believe this system constitutes a
major step forward in providing equal opportunities.

Risk Management

Independent Auditors, Report To The Members
Oplnlon
We have audited the financial ststements of Platforn: London (the 'charitable company'} for the year ended 31 March
2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to
the financial stslements. including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framewoth that
has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Stsndards, induding Financial
Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, (United

In our opinion, the financial ststements:
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2024 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

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK} IISAS {UK}) and applicable law.
Our responsibilities under those stsndards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the
financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charrtable company in accordance wilh the ethical
requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC'S Ethical Standard
and the provisions available for small entities, in the cirGumslances set out in note 1 to the financial statements, and we
have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence
we have obtsined is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

the trustees. use of the going concem basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not

In connection with our audit of the financial statements. our responsibility is to read the other infomiation and, in doing so,
consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial stalements 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 detemiine Whetherthe￿ is a material misstatement in the financial statements
or a material fflisstatement oflhe other infomation. If, based on the work we have perfomied, we conclude that there is a
material misstatement of this other infomiation, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

PLATFORM: LONDON
Independent Auditors, Report To The Members
Matters on which we are requlrod to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to
report to you if, in our opinion..
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or retums adequate for our audit have not been received
from branches not visited by us,. or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and retums; 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- or
the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime
and take advantage of the small companies, exemptions in preparing the trustees. report and from the
requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibillties of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees. responsibilities ststement, the trustees {who are also the directors of the charitable
company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being
satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such intemal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable
the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misststement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements. the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to
continue as a going concem, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concem and using the going concem
basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations. or have
no realistic altemative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financlal 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 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 {UKI will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or errof and are
considered material if. individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to inlluence 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 misststements 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 is detailed below:
Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims
as well as actual, suspected and alleged fraud-
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with govemance;
Assessing the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations considered lo have a direct material effect on
the ffinancial ststements or the operations of the company through enquiry and inspection,.
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with
applicable laws and regulations.
Performing audit work over the risk of management bias and override of controls, including testing of joumal
entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business ralionaSe of significant transactions
outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for indicators of potential bias.
Because of the inherent limitstions of an audit. there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those
leading to a material misstatement in the financial stslements or non-complian￿ with regulation. This risk increases the
more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial
statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding
irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than emr, as fraud involves intentional con￿alMent, forgery, collusion,
omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at..
