We have secured excitir)g new funding to expand our work on Climate Change and Slavery and begin to build a campaign to address the entrenched system of Kafala, which is used to control and exploit tens of millions of migrant worker5. in the Gulf Co-operation Countries. We have contirTrued to grow our overall income £3.5m to £3.9m and strengthen our staff team to deliver our ambitious programmes of work. Changing systems does not happen overnight ittakes time.

MISSION AND VALUES Vision- Freedom from slavery for everyone. everywhere. always Mission: We exist to make ending slavery everyone's concern. We are an ally to survivors and people at risk of slavery. Together, we challenge and change law. policy. and practice so everyone, everywhere can be free from slavery. VaLues: Dynamic We commit to learning and continuous improvement and do not assume yesterday's ideas will work today. We are flexible, open-minded, tske calcuLated risks and respond to opportunities. Inclusive We believe that everyone ha5 a role in ending slavery, we make sure every voice is respected and nurture diverse perspectwes and partnerships to create better solution5. We make sure that those with direct experience of slavery and survivors inform our work. Transformative We are determined. taking considered and courageous action that has lasting, systemic impact with humans at its heart OUR 2020-25 STRATEGY AND APPROACH We have identified five strategic priorities ourselves and the wider anti-slavery movement need to address to help power international efforts to end slavery.. System Change We want to see sustainable. long-term change to the root causes and systems which under-pin and drive slavery. Systemic change must involve all actors, including governments, business and civil society. and changes must have effect in law, policy, and practice. Survivors, voice Anti-slavery Internatronal Trustees, Annual Report For the year ended 31 March 2023 Sutvivors. voices are crucial to understanding and addressing slavery. Effective alld ethical survivor engagement must be the norm. throughout our movement Movement Building To be most effertive in a changing worLd, the global anti-slavery movement would benefit from more effective coordination and more coherent planning. Power needs to be distributed more fairly across the movement with more representation of survivor-led and southern-led organisations in gLobal policymaking. iv. Framing the issue The current and emerging movement has placed slavery on political agendas, but more work is required to create effective ways of presenting issues. so they remain a priority. responses are galvanised, and change is secured. Legal Frameworks International human rights instruments are under threat globally and are not being used to their full extent to end slavery. While most countries have ratified instruments to end slavery. only 5586 have enacted legislation to put those rights into prartice. Where domestic legislation does exist, it is underutilised to prevent slavery and protect victims. Anti-SLavery will draw on our long history of solidarity and activism. experience of working with anti-slavery movements, Survivors and survivor-led organisations and expertise and understanding of slavery in multiple contents over the next five years. We will work to address these strategic priorities both at a global level and in the context of our focus themes.. Ending child sLavery Responsible business Migration and traff icking Slavery and climate change OUR WORK IN 2022-23 We worked on our strategic priorities in the across all our priority themes. We partnered with 39 organisations working in 19 countries, with 4 partners working globalLy. 5 of our partners were coalitions within which we pLayed a leading role, and these represented a further 179 organisations. Ending Child Slavery Our work to end child slavery conb.nued to focus on the practice of descent-based slavery and sLavery in domestic work. Eliminating Slavery in Child Domestic Work (Ghana, Tanzania) Anti-slavery International Trustees, Annual Report For the year ended 31 March 2023 Domestic work is a sector which is particuLarly VLilnprable to slavpry and pyplnitatinn hprai Iqp it takes place inside private households and is typically combined with a lack of Legal proteciion. Child domestic workers ICDWsl are particularly vulnerable. Our work focusses on changing systems at a local leveLto prevent exploitstion and support victims. The project has made good progress over the last year. In Tanzania our partners secured improvements tothe minimum wage. and in a key district in Ghana, we won improvements to child welfare by-laws to set standards for engaging children in domestic work. Surveys in both countries showed an improvement in CDWS, working conditions, including increased employer compliance with contracts and fewer children reporting work-related iLLnesses. Descent Based Slavery (Niger. Mauritania and MaLil We work with partners and communities of slave descent in all three countries to tackLe the poverty, discrimination, prejudice and lack of atcess to opportunities that fuel descent-based slavery practices. Our Long-standing partnership in Mauritania has evolved from working with freed survivors to focus more on reaching new communities and supporting the liberation of those stiLL living in descent- based 51avery. This includes community dialogue work with alL actors - survivors, slave masters, community leaders - to challenge social norms and secure acce5S to the tools needed to leave slavery. such as identity cards. We also support partners in developing strategic advocacy plans so that they can influence powerholders to bring about the Legislative and policy changes needed to en(J descent-based slavery practices. We supported a visit of the UN Special Rapporteur on SLavÈry to Mauritania, who adopted all our recommendations into his country report. and we led advocacy at the UN Human Rights Council with our partners in Mali, where 12 States called on the Malian Government to end slavery. This helps to keep the spotlight on the Government of Mauritania and build momentum for change. Significant progress was made in in Niger. where our partner Timidria's recommendations were fully incorporated in the Ministry of justice's revision of the penal code. The final text, once adopted. WILL be a major step forward in strengthening the legal instruments for the protection of victims of slavery. Timidria also convened the G5 Anti-slavery Network which brings together civil society organisations fighting against slavery in Mauritania, Niger. Burkina. Mali and Chad to co-ordinate efforts to press their respective governments to end slavery. Responsible Business Legislative Change Anti-slavery International Trustee5' Annual Report For the year ended 31 March 2023 Modern supply chains are complex and create conditions where slavery can thrive - aided by the continual urge to drive down costs and deliver shareholder profits. At Least 17.3 million women, men and children are in forc.erf laboijr in the private sector worldwide. On 21 lune, the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act came into force in the US. This bans aLI companies from importing goods tainted with Uyghur forced labour into the USA. As the law comes into effert Anti-slavery International and our allies are urging compan￿$ no_t to dump Uyghur forced labour goods into other markets_which_lack e uivalent stronLlaw5. such as the EU and UK, and for governments around the world to introduce strong import laws to prevent this happening. We have gained traction on this in the EU but the European Commission's proposals to ban forced labour imports do not go as far as we would like. They fail to put workers at their heart and do not extend to stats-enforced forced labour. We will continue to press for more progress. We intensified our campaign for the EU to adopt a Mandatory Human Rights Due Diligence Law which will place serious obligations on companies to prevent and tackLe forced labour in global supply chains. Many of our recommendations have been adopted but we continue to argue hard for more effective stakeholder engagement and proper remediation for affected workers as it reaches the final stages. Our campaign for similar legislation in the UK also ramped up over the year. 39 investors. representing over £4.5 trillion in assets. signed a letter calling for the ACL and a.PLJblic_poll we commissioned showing that 80% of a cross-section of the UK public want the same. We Complemented this with advocacy aimed at all the major UK parties. in partnership wtth the Corporate Justice Coalition. stste Imposed FOr￿d Labour We continued our work with partners to end forced labour in Turkmenisian and the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. On Turkmenistan we secured a review bythe ILQ which condemned the governmentfor not making any meaningful progress on ending forced labour in the cotton harvest since they last discussed the case in 2016 and 2021. At the I Ioih International Labour Conference. strong recommendations were made, including a call for the Chinese government to accept an ILO Technical Advisory Mission to allow the ILO to assess the situation. After applying pressure, alongside our allies, the outgoing UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (UN HCHRI, MichelLe 8achelet, published a report on the treatment of Uyghurs and other Turkic and Muslim-majority peoples stating that it -may constitute international crimes, in particular crimes against humanity . The UN Special Rapporteur on Slavery reached similar conclusions in his re ort to the UN Human Rights Council in September. These mark a major step to put global pre55ure on the Chinese Government to end the abuses. Anti-slavery International Trustees, Annual Report Fortheyear ended 31 March 2023 Migration and Trafficking Reducing Modern Slavery in Supply Chains (Bangladesh. India. Madagascar. Mauritius) An estimated 45,000 migrant workers are employed in export-oriented factories in Mauritius, the majority from Barbgladesh. Madagascar. and India. Many find themselves trapped in situations of debt bondage and forced labour, having paid extortionate recruitment fees whilst being deceived about the terms and conditions of employment in Mauritius. Our project working on this concluded Successfully in Q I, with our partners committed to carrying on the work. The Migrant Resource Centre will continue to be run by our partners in Mauritius to provide information. hear new grievances and support workers. They are also now working with the Ministry of Labour in Mauritius on the creation of their grievance mechanism, whith our advocacy supported. Our partners in Bangladesh also signed an Mou with a governmentsl agency IBureau of Manpower, Employment and Trainingl to deliver official pre-departure orientation training to migrant workers bound for Mauritius. Kafala System (Gulf Cooperation Council Countries) We secured a new grant to establish a global coalition on forced labour of migrants in the Gulf Cooperation Council IGCCI countries and campaign for the abolishment of the Kafaia system in 3 GCC countries. UK Anti-Trafficking We continue to chair the Anti-Trafficking Monitoring Group IATMGI to mon￿or the UK Government's compliance with the Council of Europe and EU Directive on anti-traff icking. This provides essent13l data for the wider anti-trafficking movement in the UK to advocate for change. We launched "One Day at a Time", the ATMG'S report on the Recovery Needs Assessment IRNAI. It paints a picture of what the RNA process is like for the survivors within it, and those providing crucial support along the way. This has helped us to raise the issues with key decision makers and build understanding amongst our allies. ATMG advocacy helped secure a hetyJfuL intervention by the Office for Statistics Regulation which intervened on the UK Home Office's misuse of data. We worked hard to make sure the wider movement and our allies were aligned in their approach to challenging the ILlegal Immigration Bill. The Bill effectively ban5 trafficking victims who arrive irregularly in the UK from claiming asylum or from accessing any support as victims of modern slavery. It also creates new detention facilities where victim5 of slavery and traflicking may be imprisoned indef initely- including children. Anti-slavery International Trustees. Annual Report For the year ended 31 March 2023 Our work involved mobilising our supporters, briefing the UN Social Rapporteur on Modern Day Slavery, (who sharply criticised the UK Government) and key Parliamentarians. We exposed inaccurate and toxic rhetoric about existing provisions and suNivors. and collaborated wrih lawyers to lay the groundwork to challenge the Bill should it be passed. Slavery and Ctimate Change The climate crisis is already having a devastating impact on many of the most vulnerable people in the world. increasing inequality and exacerbating vulnerabilities. contributing to unplanned migration and heightening the risk of modern slavery. We continued to build on last year's ground- breaking research into these issues, raising awareness and sharing our learnings with key decision makers e.g., the UN Organisation of Drugs and Crime and the UK Parliament and US Government We secured two new grants to further develop our climate change wor￿. one which Looks at the links between cLimate-induced migration and modern sLavery, and one on Uyghur forced labour in the renewables industry. FUNDRAISING AND COMMUNICATIONS Anti-SLavery International saw another year of growth in its fundraised income. The organisation retained a diverse portfolio of fundraised income ranging from grants from trusts, foundations, governments and inter-governmentaL organisations, individuals, companies and communtty groups. With donors feeling the effects of rising inflation and. in some quarters. reduced capability to give or give as much, it was important to retain and strengthen donor relationships across the board. Our new fundraising and communications strategy deepens our partnership approach with donors and extends our focus to generate sUPPOrt in the shape of money. time and voice from more people who care about ending slavery in the UK and a¥ound the world. This past year. fundraising and communications activities included.. Grant fundraising from institutional, foundation and company donors totalling £2.8m. In quarter three of 2022-23, the team secured £3.2m in multi-year grants from the UK government and US State Department Trafficking in Persons. Additionally, the team saw new grants from existing and lapsed foundations donors, providing critical support for Anti-slavery International's ongoing programme and organisational strengthening work. Fundraising from individuals across digtsL and offline methods Saw continued interest from people keen to support the work of the or9anisatior). In quarter four, we invested in further development of email lead generation including utilising engagement opportunities to encourage people to Show support for our posiiion on migration and the treatment of slavery survivors. This was led by social media integration on these issues, to increase the pool of supporters and drive a larger group of people to use thèir time, money and voice to support the charity. We continue to io Antt-slavery International Trustees, Annual Report For the year ended 31 March 2023 ee imprerrive commitment in giving from individuala who chooae to make a regular gift to the organisation's ongoing work. No fundraising agencies generating direct donations worked on behalf of Anti-SL3very International in 2022-23. Anti-slavery International benefited from continued partnership f rom Ashurst LLP and one off giving from companies rèlated to Anti-slavery Day and the World Cup. Additionally, our work providing paid consultancy (trading income) to businesses and non-profits supported the charty's ongoing work. Participation in fundraising regulation and compliance with the codes In aceordance with the recommendations of the Fundraising Regulator. the fundraising team at Anti-slavery International takes care to ensure that the programme adheres to the Codes of Fundraising Practice ICOIFI.

A5 Wlth all compLaints, we remain committed to these. and other feedback, leading to an improved overall experience for our supporters. It was encouraging to see a reduction in complaints this past year, f rom the prior year. RISK AND FINANCE Risk Management Trustees undertake a thorough risk review annually. This involve5 identifying the types of risk the charty faces, prioritising them in terms of potential impact and likeLihood of occurrence and li Antl-slavery Intern*ional Trustees, Annual Report For the year ended 31 March 2023 identifying ways of mitigating them. As part of this process trL¢Stees keep the adeqLJacy of the charity's internal contro15 under review and, wherever possible. comply with best practice. Additionally. the Finance Commitee and Board assesses and reviews key risks on a quarterly basis. These include risks relating to the safety and security of staff which are mitigated by stringent assessment, procedures, and insurance. The three leading risk5 identified by this ongoing prO￿s5 are as follows.. l. Inability to raise sufficient funds to deLiver ASI'S strategic aims. In 2022123 we continued with our investment plan to grow our income with a focus on major gifts and individual giving to ensure net growth. We monitored and reviewed progress throughout the year. incorporating learning to strengthen our fundraising approaches. In 2022123 we continued tD Strengthen the process for developing restricted donor applications to ensure maximum recovery of organisational costs. Restricted income accounted for 70% of our total income in 2022123, 3 reduction from 790h in the prior year ref lecting the growth in unrestricted donor income. notably from legacies. 2. Negative political and economic changes. The senior management team has closely monitored the gLobaL cost of living crisis and implications on our work and cost structure, building in inflation rises into multi-year bids and controlling costs. We also monitor the wider geopolitical situation in countries where we are working for systemic change and adjust tactics and security and travel plans accordingly to ensure stsff and partners are supported. Key areas of concern are those countries in the Sahel region. and our work human rights defenders on state imposed forced labour. At a strategic leveL we are seeking to balance our work to make sure we are not overexposed in insecure regions. 3. Safeguarding We continued to improve our safeguarding. working more cLosely with partners on appropriate standards. Over the last year we have strengtheri our processes to further embed safeguarding across all our work. Our policy is updated annually to reflect best practice and any new regulatory requirements. Flnance Review Total income wa5 £3.9m 12022-. £3.5ml during the year. putting us on track to meet our target of £4.5m by the end of 2025. Unrestricted income increased by £686k, although £266k of this is from increased legacy income, and £34k from exchange rate gains during the year. Income from restricted charitable activities decreased by £262k. with a consequenL but lower. decLine in restricted expenditure. Our costs increased with additional planned investment in programme, fundraising and finance capacity and with lower restricted income. The burden of this has falLen on our unrestricted funds. However. this investment has started to pay off and increased 12 Anti-slavery International Trustee5' Annual Report For the year ended 31 March 2023 our 3bility to win funding and d81iver Large projerts. This is 8vidÉnced by sécuring a large 3-year grant from the US government for $3.6m for our work in West Africa stsrting in March 2023. We placed our freehold property for sale on the open market and are expecting to exchange contracts for the sale imminently and to complete the sale by the end of September. After paying the balance on the mortgage, sale and moving costs. the substsntial remaining funds will be invested for the long-term benefit of the charity. ReseNes Policy Reserves are held to smooth income flows by covering shortfalls, whether due to delays in awarding contracts. changes in exchange rates on funds from overseas or unexpected drops in giving. In addition. reserves need to cover risks in our project expendtture as work is carried out in areas which are complex and challenging, for example we may need to pause work due to geopolitical events. Thi5 reserve amount should also be sufficient to cover the shutdown costs of the organisation if this were ever to prove necessary. and separately to provide workir)g capthl for our day-to-day operations. ASI reviewed its poLicy during the year to take better account of the main risks to the organisation and the target level of reserves to help mitigate these. Different income streams are assessed. and a percentage reserve target applied to these streams and similarly to expenditure. This is compared to a shutdown cost calculation and the higher of these values is the target reserve. The new policy estimates its target unrestricted reserve at around £600k (which was previously lower at £250kl. Atthe end of the financial year general unrestricted reserves increased slightly from £160k to £196k. We expertto be able to reportthat we will have met the £600ktarget by the end of the next financial year due to the sale of our freehold property. Free reserves lunrestricted net current assets excluding restricted funds, designated funds, fixed assets, and long-term liabilities) are slightly negative at -£8k12022.. -£50kl. This negative balance will be eliminated once the freehold property has been sold. Trustees and senior management monitor the financiaL position regularly to keep abreast of any pcoming risks that may impact on the reserves position. We continue to build in our unrestricted fundraising capability and ensure that a greater proportion of fixed costs are funded by institutional donors, allowing us to rebuild and then maintain our reserves. By monitoring financial risks, the Finance Subcommittee can determine if the current reserves target is set at an appropriate level. Going Concern Trustees have considered all material uncertainties and risks which may impact upon the organisation's ability to continue a5 a going concern. Trustees believe that despite these uncertainties and risks. the charity remains a going concern. The Trustees formed this conclusion by reviewing the financial performance of the organisation with reference to forecast levels of free reserves and cash flow projections. 13 Anti-slavery Intern*ional Trustees, Annual Report For the year ended 31 March 2023 STRUCTURE.

The trustees’ annual report has been approved by the trustees on the 15 September 2023 and signed on their behalf by Sunil Sheth Chair 16 Independent Auditor's Report To thè members of Anti-slavery Internatlonal Opinion We have audited the financial ststements of Anti-slavery International (the 'charrtable companv'l for the year ended 3 1 March 2023 which comprise the ststement of financial activities. balance sheet, statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statement5, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting standards, including FRS 102 The Financlal Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and RepLJblffc of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion, the financial statements..

Conclusions relating to going concern In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the dirertors 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 event5 or conditions that. individually or collectively. may cast significant doubt on Anti-slavery International'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 directors with respert to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 17 Independent Auditor's Report To the members of Anti-slavery International Other Information The other information comprises the information included in the directors, annual report other than the financiaL statements and our auditor's reportthereon. The direciors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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. 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 audti, 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 reqL¢ired to report that fact. We have nothing to report ir) this regard. Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audiL' The information given in the directors annual report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and The directors annual report has been prepared in accordance with applicabLe legal requirements. Matters on which we are required to report by exception In the Light of the knowLedge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the dirertors, annual report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Art 2006 requires us to report to you rf, in our opinion: Adequate accounting records have not been kept. or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not vis¢ted by us- or The financial ststements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns- or Certain disclosures of directors remuneration specified by law are not made- or We have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit The directors 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, annual report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report 18 Indepèndent Avditor's Report To the members of Anti-slavèry International Responsibilities of directors As explained more fully in the statement of directors responsibilities set out in the directors annual report, the directors (who are also the dirertors of the charttable company for the purposes of company lawl 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 directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatemenL whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements. the directors are responsible for assessing the charitable company'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 dirertors either intend to liquidate the charitable company 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 IUKI will always detert 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 expectsd to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basi5 of these f inancial ststsments. IrreguLarities, incLuding fraud. are instances of non-compliance with Laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities. outlined above. to detert material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including f raud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities. including fraud are set out below. CapabiLity of the audit in detecting irregularities In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following: We enquired of management, which included obtaining and reviewing supporting docLJmentation, concerning the charity's policies and procedures relating to= Identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance., Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud,. The intsrnal controls established to mitigate risks related to f raud or non-compliance wfch laws and regulations. We inspected the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the chaiity operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a material effect on the 19 Independent Auditor's Report To the members of Anti-slavèry International financial statements or that had a fundamental effert on the operations ofthe charty from our professional and sector experience. We communicated applicable laws and regulations throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. We reviewed any reports madeto regulators. We reviewed the financial statement discLosures and tested these to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. We performed analytical procedures to iderltify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud. In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias and tested significant transartions that are unusual or those outside the normal course of business. Because of the inherent limitations of an audiL there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial ststsments or non-compliance 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 error, as fraud involves intentional concealment forgery. collusion, omission or misrepresentstion. A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's webs((e at: www.frc.org.uk aLiditorir onsibilitie . This description forms part of our auditor's reporL Use of our report This report is made solely to the charitabLe company's members as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audti work has been undertaken so that we might stste to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's 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 charitable company and the charttable company's members as a body. for Olir audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The registered office address is Thomas Clarkson House. The Stsbleyard, Broomgrove Road, London, SW9 9TL. bl Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Statement ol Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021, (Charities SORP FRS 1021, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 10213nd the Ctsmp£nie5 Act 20061 Charities Art 2011. Assets and liabiltties are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note. In applying the financial reporting framework. the trustees have made a number of subjective judgements, for example in respert of significant accounting estimates. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors. including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable Ljnder the circUmstan￿s. The natLJre of the estimation mear)s the actual outcomes could differfrDm those estimates. Any signrficant estimates and judgements affecting these financial Statements are detailed within the relevant accounting policy below. Public benefit entity The charitable company meèts the definition of a public benef￿ entrty under FRS 102. Going concem dl The trustees considerthatthere are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a goin9 concern. The trustees do not consider that there are any source5 of estimation uncertainty atthe reporting date that have a significant risk of caL4sing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period. In determining the going concem Status, trustees have considered all material uncertainties and risksand have reviewed the financial performance of the organisation with reference to forecast levels of free reserves and cash flow projertions. The Charities cash PCTrSition remains positive thrtsughout the period under review arbd the Trustees believe it can settle its liabilities as znd when they fall due. Foi this reason, the going concern assumption is considered to be appropriate. Income Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the fund5, any performance conditions attached tfF the inccTrme have been met, it is probable that the income will be recewed and that the amount can be measured reliably. Income from government and other grants, whether'capital, grants or'revenue, grants. is recogni5ed when the charity has entitlement to the funds. any performance conditioins attached to the grants have been met, it is probablethatthe income will be recewed, and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. 24 Antl-slavery International Notes to the finan¢lal statements 31 March 2023 Accounting Policies Icontinuedl For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either.. the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finali5ed and notification has been made by the execLrtorlsl to the charity that a distributic)n will be made., or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy. in whole or in parL is only CCTrnsidered probable when the amount can be measured reliably, and the charity ha5 been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met. then the legary is a treated as a contingent asset and disc105ed if materi31. Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred untilthe criteria for income recognition are met Interest receivable Intere5ton funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliakAy by the ¢h8rity.' this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. Fund accotlnting Restricted f unds are tts be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which rneets these criteria is charged to the fund. Unrestrirted funds are donations and other incoming resour￿$ received or generated for the charitable purFKises. Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particul£r purposes. Overseas partner èxpenditure Payment5 to overseas partners are based on forecast expenditure for the cor¥iing period and recognised when the payment 15 sent to the partner. Where partners do not spend funds re￿iVed in full this is adjusted in the following period 50 that reports submitted to donors reflect was has actually been Spent on the project. No adjustment is made in our statutory accounts and payments are treated as spent on transfer to the partner. h) Expènditure and irrecoverable VAT Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or ctsnstructive obligation to make a paymentto a third party. it is probablethat settlement will be required, and the amount of the tsbligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings.. Cost5 of raising funds relate to the costs incurred by the charitable company in inducing third parties to make voluntary contribution5 to it, as well as the costof any activities with afundraising purpose., Expenditure on charitable artivities includes the costs of delivering Services tjndertaken tofurther the purposes of the charity and their associated support Costs. Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. Allocation of support costs Resources expended are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. Support and governance costs are allocated proportionally between the cost of raising funds and the three prografflme regions. Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity. These cos15 are associated with constitutional and statutory requirements. 25 Anti-slavery Internatlonal Notes to the financlal Statements 31 March 2023 Accounting Policies Icontinuedl kl Foreign currencles Transactions in foreign currencie5 are translated at rates prevailing at the date of the tr2nsEction. Balan￿S denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Tangible fixed as5&ts Item5 of equipment are capitslised where the purchase price exceeds £3,000 (increased frorn £500 with effect fiom l April 20221. Depreciation costs are allocated to activities on the basis of the use of the related assets in those artivities. Assets are reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate their carrying value may ex￿ed their net realisable value and value in use. Where fixed assets have been revalued, any excess between the revalued amount and the historic cost of the asset will be shown as a revaluation reserve in the balance sheet. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to wrtte down the cost of each a55et to it5 estimated residual value over its expected u5efiJl life. The depreciation rates in Llse are as follows.. Freehold buildings 2% straight line Fi)rtures & fittings IO% straight line Computer & office equipment 2086 straight line Intangible- Database. website & software 20% straight line Freehold land is not depreciated. The last full valuation was carried out tsn 13 July 2012 on the freehold property. The charity took acfvantage of the FRS 102 transition relief to treat this valuation as deemed cost. Other assets will be reviewed for impairment if cirCumstan￿S indicate their recoverable value to be materially lower than their value disclosed in the accounts. m) Debtors Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued atthe amount prepaid. Cash at bank Cash at bank includes any short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisiticTrn or opening of the deposit or similar account. Creditor5 and provisions Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity h3s a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provision5 are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. pl Financial instruments The charity only ha5 financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised attransaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. 26 Antl-slavery Internatlonal Notes to the financial statements 31 March 2023 Accounting Policies Icontinuedl Pensions The charity makes payments to personal pension plans of all employees.

Before this change it was not possible to separate programme costs from operating costs and the prior year f igures were calculated on the assumption that all restricted expenditure are programme cost5 rather than operating. This has led to Support Costs increasing from 5% to 13% of totsl expenditure. This is more accurate f igure for our operations given the size of the charity. It has also led to Other Programme Costs decreasing substantially and Other Operating Costs increasing substantially, which is similarLy a better reflection of the pattern of expenditure. 29 Anti-slavery International Notes to the finan¢lal statements 31 March 2023 Grant making 2023 2022 Association Timidria Tantania Domestic workers coalition LAWAIGhanal ￿Umnae Incorporated SOS Esclaves Challenging Heights Association Temedit RADDHO ECFORME Confederation Des Travailleur5 des Secteurs Publique et Prive Other partners- Africa 219,992 207.560 188,817 145.593 54,843 3,787 124,377 291,014 135,639 126,997 95,504 22,572 8,500 48,387 11,4021 11,7341 8,884 63,290 Asit7 Swatantrata Abhiyan Nepal Ovibashi Karmi Unnayan Pro8ram Other partners- Asia 20,000 2,619 6,460 45,128 Euro Minority Ri8ht5 Group International Anti Trafficking and Labour Exploitation Unit International Institute for Environment and Development Other partners- Europe Total payment5 to partner5 36,749 16,193 6,362 29,155 35,356 13.143 956,860 996,925 The above grants represent payments to institutions in furtheran￿ of the charity's strategic £ims.

Prior Year Adjustment The charity received funds from the Nelumbo Foundation which were treated as restricted in the 2021122 financial statements. It has since been clarrfied that the funds were unrestricted and the 2021122 comparative numbers have been updated to reflect this. The fund has been designated for use for our business and human right5 wor The effect of the change is to decrease restricted fund values and increase unrestricted fund values by the same amount - there is no change to the overall surplus for the year. In detail. the brought forward restricted reserves at l April 2021 decreased by £68,777, restricted income decreased by £219,476 and carried forward restricted reserves at 31 March 2022 decreased by £72.774. The unrestricted funds increased by the same value in each categorv. 20. Capital commltrnents At the balance sheet date, the charity had no capital commitments. 21.
