current need and future aspiration.
To offer a clear sense of direction that will help inform future planning, scheduling, fundraising, and
resoiirce management.
To be as c168r and straighttorward as possible to ensure access and buy-in from a range of Internal
and external stakeholders.
To embrace a live and evolving quality, acting as a statement of intent rather than a detailed be-all and
end-all.
The plan focuses on four key areas.. physical, technological, environment and access, with the estate split into
four zones.. the auditorium, back of house, front of house and the studio block.
Following consultation with Trustees, Senior Leadership T8am, Heads of Departments and The Royal Parks,

Senior Staff Remuneratlon
The Trustees are solely responsible for setting and reviewing the remuneration of the Joint Chief Executives in
line with thelr contractual enlillements. The remuneration of other senior staff is reviewed annually by the
Executive Director and may be increased within the overall budgets approved by the Trustees to take into
account inflation and individuals, duties and performance.
Charity Governance Code
The Trustees have had due regard for the God8 and will review and consider the updated version {as of
Ncvember 20251 throughout 2028.
Financial Revlew
Incoming resources decreased by 4% to £8,665,030 (2024 r&staled.' £9,043,529) and total funds decreased by
£320,220 to £8,891,47212024.. £9,211,692). This was primarily due to Brigadoon underperforming at the box
office, not h81ped by both wet Weather and transport strikes in September 2025.
Th6 charity's wholly owned subsidiary Regent's Park Enterprises Ltd. operates our bar and dining facilities.
Th8 year ended 31 December 2025 saw income increase lo £1,202,55812024'. £1,190,501) and a profit for the
year of £84,849 (2024.. £98,184). This slight decrease in profits compared to 2024 was primarily due to
increased staff wages, salaries and Social security C08ts as well as admlnislrative overheads.
Th8 charity's wholly owned subsidiary Regent's Park Productions Ltd. produces some of the productions
staged at the theatre under a commissioning agreement. The year ended 31 De￿mber 2Q25 saw an inc￿888
in commissioning fees re¢8ivable from Regent's Park Theatre Ltd. to £3,691,655 (2024.. £3,426,631) and an
increase in theatre tax relief to £1,035,56312024'. £967,360). This increas8 is primarily due to 2024's theatre
tax relief claim for The Enormous Crocodile being processed by the lead co-producer for that project (Leeds
Playhouse) instead of the charity. Commissioning fees receivable are equal to the subsidiary's costs less
provision for theatre tax relief and as a result the subsidiary broke even in the years to 31 December 2024 and
2025.
Due to several years of inactivity, the charity's wholly owned subsidiary R8gent's P8rk Ventures Ltd. was
dissolved on the 30 September 2025.
Bank Accounts
In July 2025 we received notice from Scottish Widows regarding the closure of our CAF account with them on
or around Ihe 6 November 2025. On the 1 Odober 2025, the Board's Finance, Audit & Risk Committee
approved opening a new account with Flagstone Investment Management into which £1,000,000 offunds from

Regent's Park Theatre Limited
(continued)
Our responsibility is to read th8 other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is
materially inconsistent wlth the financial statements or our knowl8dge obtained in the audit or Othe￿ise
appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material
misstatements, we are required to determin8 whether this gives rise to a material mlsslatement in the financial
statements themselves. If, based on the work w8 have perfomied, we conclude that there is a material
misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that facl.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

In our opinion based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit

or
rtain disclosures of trustees, remuneration specified by law are not made., or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustegs
As explained more fully in the trustees, responsibilities statement set out on page 18, the trustees (who are
also the directors of th8 charilable company for the purposes of company lawl are responsible for the
preparation of Ihe financial statements and for being satisfied that 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 responsible for assessing the charitable company's
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters ￿lated to going concern and using
21

Regent's Park Theatre Limited
Independent Auditors, Report to the Members and Trustees of
Regent's Park Theatre Limited
(continued)
the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or
to Gease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are lo 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 detect a material misslatemenl when it exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influenGe the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Details of the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud and
non-compliance with laws and regulations are set out below.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audil of thè financial stalem8nts is available on the Financial
Reporting Council's website at.. www.frc.or
.ukJaudilorsres
onsibililies. This description forms part of our
auditor's report.
Extent to which the audit was consldered capable of detecting Irregularities, Including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We identified and
assessed the risks of material misstalemenl of the financial statements from irregularities, whether due to
fraud or èrror, and discussed these between our audit team members, Wè then designed and performed audit
proGedures responsive lo those risks, including obtaining audit evidence sufficient and appropriate lo provide a
basis for our opinion.
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charitable company
and group operate, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of
material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including financial reporting legislation and the
Charities SORP {FRS 1021, and UK tax regulations. We assessed the required compliance with these laws
and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial Statement Items.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and règulations that do not have a direct effect on the
financial statements but compliance with which might be necessary to the group's ability to operate or to avoid
a material penalty. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with thèse
laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal
correspondence, if any.
We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the group for fraud.
We identified the greatest risk of material impact on financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to
be within the recognition of Theatre Tax Relief IThR), the recognition of Fiddler on the Roof co-production net
results and management override of controls.
Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management and the Finance, Audit &
Risk Committee about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on
the posting of journals, reviewing regulalory correspondence with the Charity Commission, reviewing the
wording of the co-production agreements, reviewing the TTR calculations prepared and reading minutes of
meetings ofthose charged with governance.
22

Regent's Park Theatre Limited
Independent Auditors, Report to the Members and Trustees of
Regent's Park Theatre Limited
(continued)
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidabSe risk that we may nol have detected some
rnaterial misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our
audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and
regulations {irregularitiesl is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, th816ss
likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it.
In addilion, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularit18s, as these may
involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We
are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all
laws and regulations.
Use of our report
This report Is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in a¢¢ordance with Chapter 3 of
Part 18 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state lo the
charitable company's members and trustees, those Matters we ar8 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 charitable company's members as a body,
for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
