THE ALBANY 2001 COMPANY Trustees, Report for the year ended 31 March 2024 Strateglc Partnershlps The Albany has been an aclive part of the development of the n6w Lewisham Strategic Partnership, and sits on fts steering group. We are one of the nlne anchor organisatlons who have been part of driving forward Ihe Goldsmiths Civic University Agreement, We remain an active part of the Lewisham Educalion Arts Network and Shapes, the North Lewisham Creative Enterprise Zone, as well as contlnuing to be the lead partner of the Fun Palaces national campaign for putting community al the heart of culture.

In 2023 we were happy to see Artists of Change, based on the model developed at the Albany, being adopted at cultural centres in Vienna. Sicily, Belgium, and a Ukralnian centre in exile. Futuro Plans Llke all arts venues we have been evolving our business model to make sense of rapidly changing and highly challenglng circumstances. In 2023-24 we were working to a deficit budget but achleved a better outcome than planned. A new Business Plan {2024-7) has been adopted and we plan to retum to breakeven (or better) by 2026. The tran9tion during the year also includes the end of additional responsibilities and income through: London Borough of Culture, Future Arts Cenlres, Famlly Arts Campaign and the Canada Water Theatre (which the Albany managed on behalf of Southwark Council until March 2023). Stralegically our focus has shifted back to the work we can do in our home borough of Lewisham, and uslng this to have a w'Klei impact and influence. Financially this means a deliberate reduction In thè overall size and Income of the organisation, from the £3.6million lumover established over Ihe last few years, to turnover in the £2-2.5million range. The longer term sustainabllity of the organisalion depends upon the capital development of the current Albany building which was opened in 1981, and which urgently needs upgrading to make it fit for purpose for the next gen8ration. During the year we have been worklng wlth architects Witherford Watson Mann on developing and refining the site Masterplan, and with partners Lewisham Council on the viablllty of a scheme which would includa a partnership with housing developers, We have been working with support from the expertlse represented on the Building Development Board and advisors Slories Partners.

Reseryes Poli The Albany Board has tak8n a rlsk-based approach to establishing a Reserves Policy, In Ilne wllh the operational guidance No 43 (Charity Income Reserves) issued by the Charity Commission. which conslders the risks affecting the organisation, and how reserves can be used to help in effectively managing thern, whilst also being used to invest in the future health of the organisation as a fast-growlng social enterprlse. The key risks for the organisatlon over the next three years are loss of public funding, loss of the major local aulhority contracl, changes requlred lo redefine and implement the organisations strategic priorilies post restructure. Normal business rlsks are managed through normal budget planning and financial management processes which are reviewed quarterly by the Board. At the same 1Sme as malntaining General Fund Resenies to manage revenue rlsk In Ihls way, the Board are of the opinion that it is advisable to establish Designated funds to further mitigate unforeseen expenditure risk, as well as to invest in future development. The Trustees have consequently establlshed the followlng objectives: 1. To establlsh the Unreslricled General Fund Free Reserves target range between £298,700 and £451,347 averaging at £375,000 for Ihe year. This equates lo three months average core expenditure at the upper end and risk assessed Income losses at th8 lower end. This range Is estimated as SLrffident to maintain short-term financial stability in the event of withdrawal or reduction in key revenue funding or unexpect8d operating expenditure. 2. To mainlain a Designated Business Development fund of £100,000 to meet preliminary costs of the building development project and allow investment in new business opportunlties. 3. To maintain the Designated Capital fund, which significantly equates to th8 net book value of Freehold and Property improvements made In the 1970s. 4. To maintain the Designated Artistlc developrnent fund of £100,000 to fund strategic opportunitias In the Artlstic programm8 and Imp18ment the new business plan priorilies. At 31 March 2024, the General fund free reserves (see target range in 1 above) at £336,947 (2023.. £515.664) is above the risk assessed lower end of the target range of £298,700. Of the Designated funds, the Business Development fund is £72,571. the Maintenance fund is £40,000, the Artistic Development fund is £100,000 and the Capltal fund is £538,507. Page 18 of39

Responslbllltles of tru8tee8 As explained more fully in the trustees, responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for th8 preparation of Ihe financial statements and for being satisfied Ihat they give a true and fair view, and for such Internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due lo fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are rosponsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using Ihe going concern basls of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquldate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Audltor's Re8pon8lbilities for tho audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtsin reasonable assurance about whelher the financlal statements as a whole are free from material mlsstatemenl, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorfs report thal Includes our oplnion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducled In accordance wlth ISAS (UK) will always detect a material mSsstatem8nt when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in Page 22 of 39

As part of an audlt In accordance with ISAS (UK) we exercise professional judgement and mainlain professional scepticisrn throughoul the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatemenl of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or erior, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that Is sufficlent and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a malerial misstatement r8sultlng from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery. intentional omlsslons, mlsrepresentations. or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of Intemal control relevant to the audlt In order to deslgn audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expresslng an opinion on the effectiveness of the charitable company's internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees. Conclude on the approprialeness of the trustees, use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evldence obtalned, whether a material uncertainty exists related to evenls or conditions that may cast significanl doubl on the charitable company's ability to continue as a golng concern. If we conclude that a material uncertalnty exlsls, we are requlred to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in Ihe financlal stalements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modlfy our oplnlon. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up lo the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or condltlons may cause the charitable company to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presenlation, structure and content of the flnanclal statements, including the dlsclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentatlon. We communicate with Ihose charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timlng of the audlt and signiflcant audit flndlngs, Including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identlfy durlng our audit. Explanatlon as lo what extent the audlt was consldorod capable of detectlng Irregularltles, Includlng fraud Irregularities, including fraud. are instances of non-compllance with laws and regulations. We deslgn procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material mlsstatements in respect of Irglarities, Includlng fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. The objectives of our audlt In respect of fraud, are; to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; to obtain sufficienl appropriate audit eviden regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and Implementlng appropriate rasponses to those assessed risks; and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audlt. Ho¥vever, the primary responslbility for the preventlon and delection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governance of the charitable company. Our approath was as follows: Page 23 of 39
THE ALBANY 2001 COMPANY Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of The Albany 2001 Company Limited We obtained an undeistsnding of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable lo the charitable company and considered that the most significant are the Companies Act 2006. the Charilies Act 2011, the Charty SORP, and UK fsnancial reporting standards as issued by the Financial Reporting Council We oblained an understanding of how the charitable company complles wilh these requiremenls by discussions with management and those charged with governance. We assessed the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, including the risk of material misstatement due to fraud and how it mlght occur, by holding discussions th management and those charged with governance, We inquired of management and those charged with govemanc8 as to any known instances of non-compliance or suspected non-compliance wilh laws and regulatlons. Based on this understandlng, we designed specific appropriate audit procedures lo Identlfy instances of non-compliance with lavrd and regulations. This induded making enqulrles of management and thosa charged with governance and obtainlng additional corroborative evidence as requlred. There are inherent limllations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations Ihat are not closely relaled to events and transactions reflected in Ihe financial statements. Also, the rlsk of not detecting a materlal misstatement due to fraud is hlgher than the rlsk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentatlons, or through colluslon. Use of our report Thls 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 audit work has been und8rtaken so that we might state to the 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 responslblllty to any paty other than the charltable company and charitable company's members as a body, for our audlt work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
