In order to finance these aims, the sources of funding of the School are kept under constant review and detailed financial plans exist alongside its sirategic plans for research. As discussed in the Financial Review section of this reporL maintaining a prudent reserves policy and diversifying sources of income are key parts of delivering this programme. A key element in diversifying funding sources is the School's fundraising strategy. overseen by a Development Commiitee and supported by a full-time Development Officer. A Friends Committee further assists in organising evenis and makes periodic small grants. Criteria used ¢0 m¢asure achievement In 2020121 achievement ggainst aims continued to be measured throiigh rigorous reporting to Ihe relevgnt Committees and Subcommittees and, through them, by Coiincil. In qualitative terms, research awards were judged against the standards appropriate to funding by a UK research body (AHRC, Oxbridge Junior Research Fellowship5). In addition ILI this governance structure. achievemenis against Liur aims are measured against a series of KPIS, benchmarked to 2015116, linked to a set of 10 key deliverables and agreed ivith Council, as follows: Enabling and facilitating UK based research in Greece (NB.. the BSA is the sole enabler of UK-based archacalogical ficldwork authorised by the Greek government) Leveraging rescgrch fund% through facilitated proje¢ts 3.

The School's activities. shown under"Total Funds" in the Stateinent of Financial Attivities, (Tenerated a Net Moven)ent in Funds amouniing to a surplus of £755.827 [afr unrealised investment gains of £451,423) compared with a deficit of £882,722 in 2019120 (arr unrealised invesuneni losses of £916,269). The School's investment portfolio Jielded total income of £158,602 in the year to 5 April 2021, a decrease of 34 /0 againsi Ihe £242,539 earned during 2019120, though significani realised and unrealised gains arose in the year on Ihe School's invesiment portfolio. The circumstances behind these movements are described in the report on Investmeni Policy and Rerurns below. In recent years the principal financial risk faced by the School has been its exposure to costs in Euros while its mgin funding from Ihe British Academy is received in Sterling. The Sterling..'Euro rate weakened to an average rate of 0.90 £/e during the year12019120.. 0.87) M".hilst our budget was set at 0.80£1E. The economic siiuation in Greece coupled with economic uncertainty relating to the UtQ's ceasing to be a niember of the EU continues to present some financial risk and the School has policies in place for the conversion of Sterling into Euros and the tra]isfer of Euros from London to Athens in order to minimise the exposure. Folloiving the adoption in 2016 of FRS 102, 'Provisions for Post Employment Benefits" the accounts continue to include a provision for the liability that has been recognised with respect to thc dcficit in the USS pension plan and the Fecovery plan therefor. This ainounted to £76,245 at vear end (2019120.. £98.7061. Our Unrestricted Fund5 Caled Forward at the end of the year were £713,403 12019120.. £684,882). Total funds {Unrestricted, Restricted and Endom'nientl stood at £4,767,424 at the year end {2019120.. £4,011,597). Of this, RestTiCted Funds stood at £1,940,950 and Endowment Funds at £2,] li,071. The School monitors its current and expected cashflows carefully to ensure eontinued liquidity and its policy is to ensure that unrestricted reserves are maintained at a level of at least three months. charitable expenditure. The current level is sigi)ilicantly l)igher thai) tl)is. which Trustees believe is justified given the uncertainties relatii)g to the econon)ic situation in Greece and the Covid-19 pandemic, along with ihe need to invest to diversity tl)e School's I'unding sources over the medium tenn pursuant to discussions with the British Academy. The British Academy is the

Restricted income includes grants for specific research and other projects and investment income from Restricted Funds. The movements in Restricted Funds are disclosed in note 16. Endowment income includes donaiions and legacies and investmeni income from Endowment Funds, from which only the income may be spent. The movements in Endowment Funds are disclosed in note 17. The SchLN)I has a Designated Unrestricted Fund for publications which siood at £209,961 (2019120.. £156,678) which it intends 10 expend over the medium to long temi as valid publication expenditures arise. Investment Policv and Returns The School's Investsnent Committee (ICI is responsible to the BSA Council through the oversight of the Finance & General PuTposes Committee {F&GP) for the management of its investment funds. The objectives of the IC are to maiiage the BSA'S Reserve Funds, witl)in policy guideline5 set from time to time by the F&GPC, in order to generate a long-terjn anniialised rate of retiirii not less that] the increase in tl)e Consumer Price Index {CPI) + 3.75070.

The IC. at its omn discretion, may choose to achieve its total return objectives either by la) appoii)ting a discretionary fund niana¥er to nianage tlie portfolio on its behalf, or (b) b}. itself selecting individual funds and directly held investments wliich together 5atisfv it5 objectives. In either case. the IC'5 primdti. rtsle 15 to monitor dnd evaluate the perfotm<lTiLe of the underlying fuiid mana¥erl5), Mith the aini of e115uring that inve5tment5 retnain withiii the Ic's asset allocation requireinents, aiid that the Reserve Funds have a strong chance Of achievin¥ their long temi retUT target. Whilst recognising the value of dividei)ds both as a source of liquidity and an indicator of underlying performance, the F&GPC requires that the invesiment porifolio be managed on a ro(al retum basis. During the current Jear. the BSA'S invesiment income fell from £?42.539 £158,602 reflecting the reaction of Ihe global investment mark'ets to the global Covid-19 pandemic This resulted in dividend cuts or defem)enis b}, many of the insiitutions in hICh the School is invested. Investment Income represented I 10/0 of the SchoL)I's gross income during the current year which was dO.n from 15/0 in 2019120. For a second year in succession investmeni market volaiiliry arising on the incidence of the pandemic had a significant impact on the value of the BSA'S ponfolio. this time in a positive direction. In 2019120 the BSA suffered significant unreali%ed losses on its portfolio but fnllowing a rebound of the global investment markets after their initial re%pon.%e to the pandemic in the current year the BSA recorded realised gains and unreali%ed £ain% of £1 56,785 and £451,423 respectivel}, (201912a'. reali%ed gain% and unrealised lo%se% of £52,768 and £916,269 respectivelv). Since year end, the value of our portfalio has increased further and at the dale of finalising thes¢ ac¢ounts stood at just over £5m almost l O 0/0 higher than at year end. The COTnposition of the School's Portfolio and it5 investment strateg}. are kept linder constant review by the Investmeiit Committee in view of the chanbFiniT economic circum5taiice5 atteiiding 01) the Covid-19 pandeTnic. Fundraising The BSA'S Developmei)t Committee advises and guides the Council on fundraising activity. and assists the GoveTnance Cominittee in ensuring that it is conducted in compliance with relevant UK legislation, regulatitsns, and recominended good practice.
Page 10 THE BRITISH SCHOOL AT ATHENS TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED S APRIL 2021 Development activity has two main purposes. The first is to n)aximise the number of people engaging ivith the BSA. It achieves this by advertising its events widely on the inten)et and through social media. as w'ell as distribuling a newsletter. {Since the onset of the panden)ic. n)uch of our activity has n)oved on-line, increasing considerably the numbers participating ii) our events.} All those who engage with us are encouraged to join our mailing list, i¥hich is managed through a CRM database system. Infomled consent is alivays sought and all communications carry the option to be removed from the list. The second is through specific fundraising activities. Our annual subscription has three tiers - £40, £150 and £1 001 p.a. each tier tied to a recognised descriptor (Friend,. Pendlebury Circle,. Director's Circle): in addition there is a student subscription. All Friend-tier funds flow into a Friends Fund administered by the Friends Committee which reports to Council and 'OrkS closely with the Development Committee. At all events. we ask for, but do not require, a small donation, w,hile we occasionall! make an appeal to meet specific needs, such as for additional financial assistance when the pandemic reduced our income from accommodation and ¢oiirses. Finally, Ive approach individuals, Iriisis gnd foundations for1gTger donations in relation to specific projects: such as our current campaign to raise funds to redevelop the Knossos Research Centre. These approaches are researched and initiated by the Development Officer on the basis of publicly avgilable inform81ion or iniroductions, but are carried out by senior officers of the BSA. To date there have been no complaints about our ndraising activities. Public BeThefit The Trustees have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charitle5 Act 201 I to have due re¥ard to the piiblic benefit guidance published bv the Charity Coinmis5ion. The Trustees draw attention to the meinber5hip services detailed on w'ww.bsa.ac.uk (provision ol. accommodation: teaching, pemiit applications, academic guidance and research facilities), to the provision of grants and scholarships, and to the raiige of Librarv services. academic lectures, and e-resources provided free of charge (the last via hit Iw'ww.bsa.ac.uk The BSA offers a series of awards, studentship5, and fellowships to support research of all types and at all stages of academic careers.

The charity's trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law, and United Kingdom accounting standards {U1)id Kingdoin Gei)erally Accepted Accounting Prncticel. Charity law requires the trusiees to prepare financial statements fL)r each financial year which give a Irue and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the inconiing resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial siateinenis, the trustees are required 10.. a) select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistenily; bl observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP,. c) make judgments and accounting esiimates that are reasonable and prudent- dl stste whether applicable accountit]g standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disc105ed and explained in the financial stateinents., e) prepare the financial statenients on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will coiitinue in operation.

Page 16 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BRITISH SCHOOL AT ATHENS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021 Opinion We hgve audited Ihe financial statements of The British School at Athens (the 'charity') for the year ended 5 April 2021 which comprise the Statemeni of Financial Activities. the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. l-he financial reponing framework that has been applied in their preparglion is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Siandards, including Financial Reporting StandaTd 102 Thé FinL7nciuI RéporiEng,gIodaJ upplicoble ihe UK Republic ofJreland {United Kingdom Generall), Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion, the financial statenients.. give a true and fair view of Ihe stste of the charity's affairs as at 5 April 2021 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 have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Aci 2011. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards Lin Auditing (UK} (ISAS (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for Ihe audit of the financial statements section of our reporr. We are independent of the charitv in accordance '1th the eihical requirements thai are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC'S Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe thai the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate 10 provide a basis for our opinion. Conclu5ion5 relating to going concern lil auditiiig the financial statcmciits, we have concluded that the trustees. use of the going concern basis of a¢counting iii the preparation of the fiiiancial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have perfortned, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditi011S that, individually or collectivelv, niay cast siuFnificaiit doubt oil the charity's ability to contiiiue as a going concem for a period of at least twelve months from when the finaiicial statetnents are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities aiid the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going conceTn are described in the relevant Sections of this report. Other information The othei infomjation comprises the information included in the ai)nual report other than the financial statements and our auditor s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for tl)e other ii)lonnation contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the Iinancial statements does i)ot cover the other ii)fonnation and. except to the extent othen+ise explicitl}' stated in oui reporL Me do not express any fonn of assurance coi)clusion thereon. Our respoi)sibility is to read Ihe other infomiation and, in doing so. consider wheiher the other information is maierially inconsisieni wilh Ihe financial s[aMen[S or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially missiaied. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements. we are required io detemiine whether Ihis gives rise io a maierial missiaiemeni in the financial statements themselves. If. based on the work we have perfomied. we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other infonnation, Ive are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in Ihis regard. Matters on which we are required to report by exception We have nothing to report in respect of the follo ing matters in relation 10 which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion.. the information given in the trustees, report is inconsistent in any material respect with ihe financial statements,. or sutyicient accounting records have not been kept; or the financial 5tatenients are not iii a¥reeinent with tlie accouiitin¥ records and returns,. or we have not received all the infoTmatioii and explanations we require for our audit.
Page 17 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BRITISH SCHOOL AT ATHENS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021 Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the trustees, responsibilities statement, set out on page l O, the trustees are responsible for the prepgration of the financi81 statements and for being satisfied thai they give a true and fair view, and for such iniernal control as the trustees deiermine is necessary to enable Ihe preparation of financial siatemenis that are free from maierial misststement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trnstees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going cot]cern, disclosiiig, as applicable, matters related to gointw coiicerii and using the going conceTn basis of accounting unless the trustees eitlier intend to liqiiidate tlie charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do 50. Auditor's responsibilities for the Audit of the fin#nei#l statements We have been appointed ds auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordaiice witl) the Act nd relevitTIt reguldtions inade or having effect tl)ereunder. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assuraiice about whether the financial statements i15 il whole are free froni material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an audiior s report that includes our opinioi). Reasonable assurnnce is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarai)tee that ai) audii conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will alw'a5Js detect a maierial misstatement when it exists. Misstaiements can arise from Iraud or error and are considered material if. individuallv or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be expected io influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance '1th laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibiliiies, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent 10 which our procedures are capable of deteciing irregulariiies, including fraud is deiailed below.. r)iscussions M'ith and enquiries of management and those charged with governance M'ere held with a view to identifying those laivs and regulations that could be expected to have a maierial impact on the financial statements. During the engagcment team briefing, th¢ i)ut¢omes of these discussions and enquiries were shared with th¢ team, as well as ¢onsid¢raiion as to where and ho." fraud niay occur in the entiry. The following law% and regulations were idciitified as being of significaiice to the entity. Those laws and regulations considered to have a direci effect on the financial staiements include UK financial reporting stsndards and Charity Law. Those laws and regulaiions for which non-compliance may be fuiidamental 10 the operating aspects of the charity and therefore may have a material effect on the financial statements include compliance with the charitable objeciives, public benefii, management of pemlits, Greek law. employment law. health & safety legislation and data protsction. Audit procedures undertaken in response to the poiential risks relatiiig to iegular1tles (which include fraud and non- compliance with laws and regulations) comprised of.. inquiries of management and the Trustees as to whether the entity complies ivith such laws and regulations; enquiries with the same concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims,. inspection of relevant legal correspondence: review of Trustee meeting minutes. tesiing the appropriateness of journal eniries,. and the performance of analytical review to identify unexpected movements in accouni balaiices which may be indicative of fraud. No instaiices of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraiid, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detectiiig irregularities, the effectiveness of the entiry's controls, and the nature. tiniin£ and extent of the audit procedure5 perforined. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherentl}' Inore difficult to detect tlian irregularities that result froni error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk tliat niaterial mi5ststeinent5 may not be detected, even thou¥h the audit has been planiied and perfoTmed in accordance M'ith ISA5 {UKI.
Page 18 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BRITISH SCHOOL AT ATHENS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021 As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS (UK), we exercise professional judgmeni and maintain professional scepticism throughout the gudit. We also.. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. whether due to fraud or error, design and perfomi audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audii evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material missiatetneni resulting from fraud is higlier than for one resulting from error, as frgud may involve collusion, forgery., intentiongl omissions, misrepresentations, or Ihe override of iniernal control. Obtain an undersianding of internal control relevaiit to the audit in order 10 design audit procedures thai are appropriate in the circumstances. but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charity s intemal control.

If M'e conclude that a material uncerthint}' exis(s. we are required to draw attei)tion in our auditor's repori to the related disclosures in the financial sthten)ents or, if such disclosures are inadequa, to niodify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up io ihe date of our auditor's report. However, luture events or condilions maj, cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, Structure and coiitent of tlie fiiiancial statemeiits, iiicluding the disclosures, and Thliether the financial statements represent the underlyin¥ transaction5 and event5 in a manner that achieves lair preseniaiion.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with SORP 2015 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires nianagen)eni to exercise judgmeni in applj ing the accounting policies {see no 2). The following principal accounting policies have been applied.. a) IncL)ming Resources All income is recognised once the school has entiilement to the income, it is probable that itwill be received and the amliuni receivable can be measured reliably. All in¢ome is gross without deduction for related expenditure. Investment incom¢ is r¢cognised when receivable based on notification from the investment mangger5. Lega¢ies, including payments on account: are recognised in the accounts when it is probable that the l¢gacy will be received and the ainount cali be ascertained. Grants for general support, researcl), Scholarships or fixed assets are recognised on a receivable basis and are deferred only wheii the donor has imposed pre-conditions on the use of the grant. Restricted income 15 recorded in the SOFA when receivable. All legacies ai)d donatioi)s are allocated between unrestricted, restricted and endowment funds, depending on coi)ditions iinposed by the donors.
Page 24 THE BRITISH SCHOOL AT ATHENS NOTE TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) b) Outgoing Resources Liabilitie5 for expenditure are recogni5ed in accordance with the accnjals concept. Grants payable for research aiid scholarship fall due only when such research is undertaken or upon attendance at the scliool aiid accordingly are accounted for over the period of research or attendaiice. Expenditure for research and acadeinic studies, residet]tial research progranimes, research PTOjeCts, library and publiLdtion5 disLlosed witliin charitable aLtivities includes departinental salaries. A proportion of salary cost is allocated to governance costs based On the estimated tinie expended on such Support costs are allocated in full to expenditure incurred on charitable activities. Support costs which are related to a specific activity are allocated to that activiiy in full. Irrecoverable V AT is charged as a cost against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred. c) Tangible Fixed Assets Tangible fixed assets, other than heritage assets, are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the co%t of a%sets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation is provided on the follolg basis: Computers 250/0 Straight lin¢ OITice equipment 200/0 Straight line Furniture and fittings IOO/o strdight line Motor vehicles 250/0 StraibFht line Scientific equipment 6.670/0- 12.50/0 straight line The library 15 COI)5idered to be a heritabFe asset aiid is not valued iii the balance sheet a5 there 15 not reliable historical inforination on its cost and a coiiventional valuation would be overly oiierous to conduct and given the namre and ui)iquene5s of some of the items Iield niibFht M."ell prove to be arbitrary. The c05t of books puichased during the year are capitalised if their individual cost Nwould have a material impact ort the financial statemtnts. All othei book purLI)ases are Charged to the ii)coine statement. Property in)prowements are not capitalised and are written off to the Statement of Financial Activities in the year that the Cost is incued. d) Invesimenr Properties Invesiment properties are carried on the balance sheet at fair value. Revaluations are undertaken with sutricieni regularitj to ensure Ihe canying amount does not differ materially from that which would be deremined using fair value ai the balance sheet date.
Page 25 THE BRITISH SCHOOL AT ATHENS NOTE TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Fixed Asset Investments Investtnents are carried at market value with any unrealised gains and losses bein(T included in the Statemet]t of Fiiiancial Activities and allocated between endownient, restricted at]d iiiire5tricted funds. The cost of managenient of the investtnet]ts has been charged to the Statejnent of Financial Activities The proportion of investJnent income relating to eiidowment aiid restricted fuiids is retained for use ithin those fund5. Stock of Publications Stock of publications is stated ai the lower of cost and net realisable value. At each balance sheet date, stocks are assessed for impairnient. If stock is impaired: the carrying amouni is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete that sale. The impairnient loss is recognised immediately ii) the SOFA. Debtors Short term debtors are measured at transaction price. less any impaimient losses. h) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and ¢ash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand and demand deposits with banks. Creditors Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. i) Provision for liabilities Provi5ion5 are Inade where an event has tsken place that gives the school a legal or coiistructive obligFation that probably requiTes settleinent by a transfer of economic benefit, aiid a reliable estin)ate can be made of the an)ount of the obligation. Provisions ale charged as an expense to the SOFA in the vear that the school beconies aware of the obligation, aiid are ineasured at the best estimate at tl)e Balance Sheet date ol'the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties. When paymenis are eventually made, they are charged to ihe provision carried in the Balance Sheet.

The asset5 of the schenie are held in a separate tstte-adMii5tered fut]d. Because of the niutual natUTe of the scheine, tlie assets are not attributed to individual institutiot]s a]id a scheme-wide contribution rate is set. The institution is tl)erefore exposed to actuarial risks associated with other iiistitutions, einployees aiid is unable to identify its share of the uiiderlvit]tT assets and liabilities of the scheine on a COT1515tent and reasonable basis. A5 required by SeLtion 28 of FRS 102 'Eniployee benefit5", the Institution therefore iiccount5 for the scheine as if it were a defined contributloll Scheme. As a result, the ainouiit chdrged to tlie profit Lind 1055 account represent5 the Lontributivns paj'able to tlie sclienie.

In the event of significant alterations ro the Recove Plan any maierial additional provision required in the year is recognised as an excepiional item. Financial insiruments The school only enters into basic financial instruments trgnsactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities such as debtors and creditOTS. Financial instruments are initially measured ai transaction value. They are assessed at Ihe end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impaimient is found: an impairnient loss is recognised in Ihe SOFA. Foreign cutTency tTan51ation The financial statements are PTesented in Sterling, which is also the functional currency of the school. The school has income and expendimre in sterling and non-5terling currencies and consequently Inaintain5 bank account5 in Sttrliii¥, Euros and US dollars to faLilititte this. The Trustees, policy IS to exchiin¥e sterling LUTreiicv ITlto Euros only wheii the iiiLome is certain aiid the expeiiditure is foreseeable. Forei¥n LUTreTILy trai15aLtions are translated into the fuiictitsnal currency using the exchiin¥e rilte at the date of the transaction. At each period end foreign cuffency monetary iten)s are transldted u5in¥ the closing rate. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the seitlement of transactions and from the translation at period-ei)d exchange rates of monetary assets and liabiliiies denoMinad in foreign currencies are recognised in the SOFA. Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to monetary asseis and liabilities are presented separately on the face of the SOFA within income Lir expenditure.

Going concem The trustees are not aware of material uncenainties regarding going concern. JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES & KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION The preparation of the financial staiements requires management to make judgments. estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. The nature of estimation means the actual outcomes could differ from those estimaies. The key source of estimation uncertainty thgt ¢ould have an impact on the financigl statements relates to the valuation of the heritage a%set. Note I c) above describes the fartors considered in the valuation of the library and ni)te 7 provides more infonnation about the a%set. FRS 102 Tnakes the distinction between a group plan and a multi-employer scheme. A groiip plan consists of a collection of eiitities uiider common control typically with a sponsoring employer.

The properties used by the School have not been included in the financial statements, since the properties have been in existence for many years and their historical cost is unknown. Therefore any cost attributed to the properties would now be fully depreciated due to the length of time the assets have been used by the School. The School uses the properties for the library, laboratory and other research facilities in addition to administration. The properties are insured for £1.74 million.
The School holds as heritage assets its library, archive, collection of paintings, and Athens museum collection. None of these collections has been valued for the financial statements, as the School has no intention of disposing of any of them. All comprise materials which are made available to researchers, thus enabling the School to fulfil its mission.
The library of the British School supports research into the Hellenic world from prehistory to the present day. It comprises approximately 70,000 volumes plus more than 1,300 journal titles and a large collection of electronic resources. The collection is especially strong in the area of art and archaeology and includes a valuable collection of rare books on travellers to Greece, the earliest dating from 1469. It covers many languages, with a focus on Greek language publications hard to obtain in the UK. Total annual acquisitions equal approximately 1,000 titles. The catalogues of books and e-resources may be consulted online at www.bsa.ac.uk. The School employs two full-time librarians, one of whom is a conservator: expert advice on book conservation is obtained from the Benaki Museum, Athens. Most books are held on open shelf: rare books are held in a climate-controlled store within the library and fetched on request. Post graduate researchers in Hellenic studies (including all members of the Greek Archaeological Service and Foreign Schools based in Athens) are eligible to become readers: other researchers may be admitted at the discretion of the Director. Temporary access may be granted to others seeking books not otherwise available in Athens. More than 600 readers are registered annually: they enjoy free use of the library and support services from 9am-7pm Monday-Friday. School members have 24 hour access. Access arrangements and reader guides are available on www.bsa.ac.uk.

7. TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS (Continued)
The archive holds documents from BSA fieldwork projects, corporate papers, personal collections of School members, documents associated with early travellers to Greece before the School was founded, a unique collection of drawings of Byzantine monuments and a large photographic collection. Deriving as it does from School activities, only a small portion of the collection has any commercial value. It is housed in dedicated space within the library, with climate-controlled storage for photographic material. The School employs a full-time archivist and benefits from conservation advice from the Benaki Museum, Athens. Collections vary in size and contain a variety of manuscripts, drafts, notes, notebooks, journals, diaries, photographs, memorabilia, and personal and professional correspondence: descriptions are posted on www.bsa.ac.uk, as are many finding aids. Catalogues are available for consultation within the archive: the School has a programme of publishing catalogues and images from its major collections on www.bsa.ac.uk ( Museums and Archives Online ). Access to the collection is by appointment: reader information and policy on study and publication permissions is published online.
The School’s collection of paintings (122 items) consists of works by, and gifts received from, its officers and members. It includes, for example, 25 watercolours by the School’s first director, Francis Cranmer Penrose, and six icons and five water colours by Edward Lear bequeathed by Sir Arthur Evans. The collection thus has an academic value as a whole, by virtue of its association with the School, in addition to that of individual items. The archivist is responsible for the maintenance, display and conservation of the collection: with the exception of a few pieces where conservation considerations apply, the collection is displayed in public areas of the School. It is available to researchers by appointment with the archivist.
The Athens museum houses a wide range of artefacts, from Neolithic to Byzantine, donated, collected, or excavated by the School and its members up until the 1950s. At its core is the private antiquities collection of George Finlay, plus several thousand sherds retrieved from surveys conducted throughout Greece and Turkey. In accordance with Greek law, this is a closed collection registered with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism: it may not be augmented or disposed of without the consent of the Ministry, and further consent would be required for the export of any item. The collection, which is housed alongside the library, is used for teaching and is available for study by arrangement with the Assistant Director (who serves as curator). Information about the collection and study permissions is published on www.bsa.ac.uk. Parts of the collection are published in the School’s Annual : we await Ministry approval to publish online the full, illustrated catalogue, with links to related material in the BSA archive.
