ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Fundraising activities
Sampad continues to be part of Arts Council England's National Portfdio for Ihe period of 2023-26 which
gives us a good foundation for our core costs. However, during the 23-24 financial year Binningham City
Council served a Section 114 Notice, in effecl ￿￿anIng that their exper)dilure is higher Ihan Iheir income.
Although we received our full grant of £19, 731 for 2023-24, this was cul by 500/0 for 2024-25 and from
2025-26 will be cul by 1000k. This impacts on our community and leaming programmes and will require us lo
invest further resource in fundraising in order lo bridge this gap but also to raise further funds for our
ambitious plans for Ihe future.
On the back of this disappointing news however. we ended the year with a large grant award from the
Inclusive Communities Fund for our BEDLAM partnership project. Together with The Bimiingham REP,
Midlands Arts Centre and Red Earth Collective. we were avKrded £196.180. (See below for Future Plans).
Plans for 2025-26
We wlll conllnue lo bulld on the strong foundaticms laid by the first year of Sampad Associate Schools
through building connections with new schools. Iraining artisls to work in school setllngs and running a
Summer School programme.
- Our performance programme will seek to thrill. delight and educate aLMliences across a range of venuas and
in partnership with other organisations across the region.
Continu6 to work with partners to programme a rang& of evènts for audience across the city and beyond
Includlng 8.'Musi¢, Sandwell Hospital, Solihull 8orou9h Council and Birmingham Conservatoire.
We wlll work in partnership with Midlands Arts Centre on Sari Stories and Midsummer Masti. Sari Stories

public through an open call across the Midlands this accompanies The Offbeat Sari exhibition in the main

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Flnancial posilion
The charilable company has &￿tInued lo work hard at its fundraising efforts. seeklng new funding
opportunities where possible. It continues to gratefully receive revenue from ils princlpal funder Arts Council
of England. and will conlinue lo work hard lo ensure Iheir priorities and goals are fully mel. Thls support
provides the charitable company with a stable base from which additional fundraising can be achigv8d.
Th8 charitable company receives funds to be spent on proigcts in fulfilmenl of ils charitable objectives, Artistic
success is the most important measure of its performance, but in financial terms it aims lo cover its core
running and administration costs and mak8 neither surplus or daficit whilst allowing for unexpected costs or
events.
Reserves policy
The Sampad Board has considered the guidance published by tho Charity Commission in respect to rOSe￿OS
and feel it prudent lo maintain a level of reserves both to supporl the ongoing activities of Ihe charilab18
company and to establish a buffer against any decrease in income. The Board has therefore set a policy Ihal
the reserves targel should be be￿een three and six month's operating expenses.
As at 31st March 2025, the free reseTves of the charilable company, that is those general unrestricted
reserves not invested in fixed assets. were £327,532 (2024: £319,000) (note 16). In addition to this, the
Sampad Board has set aside designaled funds of £179,842 (2024.. £179,842) {nole 16) tovRrds specific
expenditure to support Sampad's business plan.

The intemal Controls established to mitigate risk relatlng io fraud or non-compliance with laws and
regulation5.
We Identified 8reas of law and regulation that could reasonably be 8XP8cl8d to have a material 8ff8Ct on th8
financial statements from our general commercial and sector experience, discussions wilh managemenl (as
required by audlting standards) and discussed with management the policies and procedures regaiding
complianc8 with laws and regulations.
All identified law5 and regulations were communicated Ihroughoul the audlt team, 8nd Ihey remain8d al8rt 10
any indlcallons of non-complian￿ throughout the audit.
The most significant consideratlons for the charitable company were as lollows',-
The Charity is subject to laws and regulations that affect the financial statements which Include financial
reporting leglslalion (namely The Companies Act 2006), taxation legislation and the Charities Act. We
assessed Iha extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures
conceming items recorded in the financial statements.
The charity is also subject to olher op8ralional laws and regulatlons wh8ra the cons8qu8nc8s of
non-compliance could have material effect on the amounts or disclosures in the financial statements through
imposing fines or withdrawal of funding contracts. Areas where this would have an effect include hoalth and
safety, Brlbery Act 2010, employmenl law. data prolections and child protection legislation IDBS checks for
slaff and volunteers).
Auditing standards Ilmlt the audil procedures to identifying non-compliance of these laws and regulations lo
enquiry of managemenl and inspection of regulatory and legal corr8spondence, If there is any. Therefore, If a
breach of operational regulations is not disclosed to us or evident from relevant correspondence, and audit
will not delect tho br&ach.
To id8nlify risk of material misslatement due lo fraud. we carried out discussions amongst the audil team lo
assess areas where and how fraud might occur in the financial slatemenls and any potential Indicators. The
following areas wer& identified
Management override ol controls through the posting of inappropriate accounling entries or joumals
We do not believe Ihere is a fraud risk relating the revenue re¢ognilion as ihe revenue is straightforward,
with limited opportunily for manipulation.
We did not identify any additional fraud risks.
We lested Ihe apprapriateness of accounting pumals and Oth￿ adjuslments made in the accounts
preparation based on a iisk criteria.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDrroRS TO THE MEMBERS OF
SAMPAD (SOUTH ASIAN ARTS DEVELOPMENT)
Owing to the inherent limitation of the audit , there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some
material misstatements, èven though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with
auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance wilh laws and regulation is from the
events and transaction reflected in the financial statement, the less likely in the inherently limited procedure
required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition. as with any audit. ther8 remained a higher risk of
non-delection of fraud, as these may involve collusion, forgery. intentional omissions, misrepresenlations, or
the override of internal controls. Our audit procedures are designed to detect material missiatement. We are
not responsible for preventing non-compliance or fraud and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance
with all laws and regulations.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statemenls is located on the Financial
Reporting Council's websile al www.frc.org.ukJauditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our
Report of the Independent Auditors.
