FUTURE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES DISCLOSURE The Trustees identlfy the main rlsk to Outs& being the e￿Iving and ￿n￿rtaIn fundraising land￿ape. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, many indivtduals continue to work and travel abroad without a UK base, and are less engaged in UK-based programming. Secondlyi there Is a recryjnised meta-issue of the transfer of wealth from boomets to the next generdtion whose philanthr0￿C priorities may not include the arts to the same degree. Additionally, the cost of livlng crlsls has impatt&l Individuals, abilty to give philanthropically in some instances. In the current politiGII dimate, some donors have shifted their priorities towards humanitarian causes. These changing donor behaviours are affecting the sector intemationally, and as a whol@ and are not unique to Outs&. To addre55 these challenges, the Outset board and executive team are proactivdy cultivating new supporters and adapting the patron programme to align with thanging donor ne&Js and Interests. Despite these concems, Trustees ￿eW the risk to Outsevs long-tem revenue budg&ing as low. (Mset has a strong nthork of core patrons who remain o)mmitted to the charity.

Total income for the p&iod was £1,183,777 (2022.. £1,185,165) with expenditure of £1,527,070 (2022.. £849,621) resulting in a net movement in funds of -£343,293 d&icit (2022.. £335,544 surplus). Please note due to the reporting perifyj covering September 2022 to Derember 2023, these accounts cover two Outset Parts)ers Grant Cycles. Partners Cycles run from January to December, and therefore these accounts indude the expenditure for Cycle IV and Cyde V, but only the income for Cyde V. Hence, why the surplus appears higher for 2022. To r&olve this, Outset has now aligned the reporting period with the Partners Cycle. RESERVES Holdlng reserves is considered unnecessary by the Trustees of (Xrt5et as we are consistently k￿pIng Up-t￿date and monltorlng our allocation of fund5.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDrroRS TO THE TRUSTEES OF OUTSET CONTEMPORARY ART FUND Our responsibilities for the audit of the financlal statsments We have been appointed as auditors under Settion 144 c( the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Att and rdevant regulations made or having Lffect the￿under, Our obje(tives are to obtain reasonable assuran￿ about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud LY error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assuran￿ is a high level of a55urance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detett a ma￿131 mis#atement when it exists. Misststements can arise from fraud or error and are consKJered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could rea￿nablY be expKted to Influen the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. The extent to whlch our procedures are capatle of detettlng Irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.. We galned an underanding of the legal and regulatory framework ap[￿ICable to ￿tset Contemporary Art Fund and the s￿ir in which it op￿ateS, and considered the risk of acts by the charty that were contrary to appMcable laws and regulations, including fraud. We d￿igned audlt proc&Jures to respond to the risk, recognising that the risk of not d&￿Ing a material misstatanent due to fraud is high￿ than the risk of not detetting one resulting fr(￿ error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for examFle, forg￿ or Intentional misrepresentations, or through cc41usion. We focus&l on laws and regulatlons whlch could give rise to a mat&lal misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, the Charitie5 Att 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK tax legislation. Our procedures included: - agreelng the financial Stat￿nent disclosures to underfylng supporting dOcUm￿tation - enquiries with managanent - understanding of management's internal controls deslgned to prevent and detect irregularities There are Inherent limitstions in the audit prO￿dureS described above and, the furth& removed non compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transattions reflected In the finanaal atements, the less likely we would ome aware of it. As in all our audits, we also addressed the risk cf management override of int￿nal controls, including te#lng journals and evaluating whether the￿ was ewdence of bias by the dir￿torS that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
