On behalf of the BAC Trustees, I'm deli8hted to present the 23/24 Trustee report.
Over the past year, Battersea Arts Centre has held true to its vision as a home for the extraordinary, and to our
motto 'Not for me, Not for you, But for us..
In the first year of our new five-year business plan, we have developed and delivered a year of exciting, innovative
and Inspirin8 activity. Audiences topped 25.000 this year with attendance holdlng steady at 73% for our unique
and contemporary programmlng whlch is a number we're really proud of. we have continued to make real our
international ambitions through our public programme and creative development work via exchange
programmes like Scene Chan8e and the Horizon Showcase., we have developed and supported a ran8e ofexcitin8
youth work throu8h our NextGen programme with the Beatbox Academy premiering Pied Piper with BAC ahead
of a successful national tour; and we hove remained an accessible and active community partner through our
Community Hub and Garden initiatives.
Alongslde these achlevements, this past year has held real challenges. We are hugely grateful to the Arts Council
and to the London Borough of Wandsworth for their ongoing support. but fundin8 remains a significant challenge
as it does for many cultural organisations. Over this past year the Battersea team has continued to make best
use of the commercial potential of our building, while remaining open and accessible to our communities and
our users, and has improved our development and fundraising capabilities. with a range of exciting potential new
partnershlps and collaboratlons In developmeni for the future. In thls challengin8 context. we are partlcularlv
proud to have remained committed to our Pay What You Can scheme, ensuring that Battersea's offer remains
ffordable and accessible.
As we look ahead to 2024125 there is much to look forward to. Battersea's 50th blrthday in Autumn 2025 is an
opportunity to brin8 together friends, partners and supporters, old and new, to reflect on the history and
achievements of this amazing place and to share our ambitions for the future. Battersea is looking fonmard to
playinga full and leading role as Wandsworth becomes London Borough ofculture 2025. And we are developing
excitSn8 Capltal plans that wlll help to ensure that Batter5ea's historic and important home is fit for the future.
The achievements of the past year, and our future ambitions, are made posslble by the hard work of the fantastlc
8attersea team. under the leadership of Tarek and his colleagues, and by the stron8 and effective partnership
between the Battersea executive and Board. l am extremely grateful to all of them and look forward to worklng
together in the year ahead.

Artlstlc Dlrertor & CEO'S review 31 March 2024
Artlstic Dlrector & CEO'S Review
In 23124 BAC solidified its role as an important international hub for international creative exchange. Some of
the world's greatest talents like Milo Rau, Miet Warlop and sonya Lindfors brought their work to our stages and
insplred local artists and audiences. In lurn BAC contlnued to host work by some of the UK'S most excltin8 talents
like rim Crouch and Actlon Hero and, vi3 our co-leadershlp of the Edinburgh Horizon showcase, has helped manv
of those artists to tske their work abroad. And, between our unique Pay What You Can ticket pricing, and relaxed
performances, our programme has been one of the most accessible, as well as diverse, in the country.
In the meantime, our youth programmes have continued to thrive. Our Young ProdLtcers curated and delivered
another fantastic 'Home8rown Festival, our Beatbox Academy took their new show on a national tour, and our
Dance Academy partlclp3ted in events all over the capital. Plus, our unlquely beautiful spaces contlnued to
provide hire-char8e-free space to Ioc31 voluntary and charitable groups who make a vital contribution to our
most under-seNed communitles.
All this great work has been achieved against an exceedingly difficult financial backdrop. Like all cultural
organisations we have grappled with rampant inflation and skills shortages alon8side flat subsidies and an
unprecedented fundralslng cllmate in terms of dlfflculty. We have partly closed thls gap through some new
corporate partnerships, and improved performance of our vitsl Enterprises businesses. But the outlook remains
challen8ing. so we are also puttin8 in much effort and investment in systems upgrades and staff development,
to ensure we are as efficient as we can be. The Eood progress of this work, the strength and talent of the BAC
team and our strong local and national partnerships, makes me confident we can navigate these tricky waters
with aplomb.

Audltoes responslbllltles for the audlt of the flnan¢Sal statements
Our objectives are to 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 15 not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if. individually or in the èg8regate. they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures
in line with our responsibilities. outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities,
Including fraud. The extent to whlch our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is
detailed below:
• the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence,
capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compllance with applicable laws and regulations,.
we identifled the laws and regulètlons applScable to the group through dlscusslons wlth management, and
from our knowled8e of the charity sector.
• the identified lèws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team
remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit,.
we considered the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the group and determined that
the most significant are the Companies Act 2006. and the Charities SORP FRSIO2..
we understood how the 8roup Is complylng wlth those le8al and regulatory frameworks by making inquiries
to management and those responsible for legal. compliance and governance procedures. We corroborated
our inquiries throu8h our review of the minutes ol trustees, meetings and the subsidiary company directors,
meetin8s and papers provided to the trustees and directors.
We assessed the susceptibility of the group's financial statements to material misstatement, IDcludinE obtaining
an understandin8 of how fraud might occur. bv,,
makin8 enquiries of management and those charged with governance as to where they considered there
was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alle8ed fraud,. and
considerin8 the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and
regulations.
To address the rlsk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we..
• performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
• tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
• tested the authorisation of expenditure as part of our substantive testin8 thereon.
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out in
the accounting policie5 were indicative of potential bias; and
used data analytic5 to identifv any significant or unusual transactions and identlfy the ratlonale for them.

Independent audltorfs report Year to 31 March 2024
Audltorfs responslbllltles for the audlt of the financlal statement5 Icontinuedl
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations. we designed procedures
which Included, but were not Ilmlted to,,
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
reviewing the minutes of trustees. meetin8s; and
enquiring of management and those charged with governance as to actual and potential Iltl8ation and
claims.
There are inherent Ilmitatlons In our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and
regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance.
Auditlng standards also limlt the audit procedures required to identlfy non-compliance with laws and re8ulatlons
to enquiry of the trustees and other management and the Inspectlon of regulatory and legal correspondence, if
any.
Materlal misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they
may Involve dellberète concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial
Reportlng Councll's website at vMw.frc.Ofg.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our
auditorfs report.
Use of our report
This 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 undertaken so that we might state to the charitable
company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an audltor's report and for no other
purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or asstsme responsibility to anyone other than

of the targets referenced previously in the reserves pollcy. These resetves are available to absorb short-term
deficits as the organisation continues to transition to more normal operating patterns and a renewed business
plan p05t the Covid-19 pandemic.
Ongoing annual unrestricted funding as part of Arts Council England's National Portfolio. secured through to
Mèfch 2026, alongslde grovrth in BAC Enterprises provides a solid foundatlon to the years ahead.
BAC proactively manages cash flow.. for much of 8Atrs Income It Is paid in advance or on the day. Much of our
operating cost is spread evenly across the year apart from payment for capital projects. The Trustees have
considered the charitable compan¢s business planning in the context of known resources and have reviewed
the operatin8 basis of the 8roup's operations. A formal buslness plan for the perlod to March 2026 has been
agreed by the Trustees. Draft budgets approved to March 2026, which demonstrate the Charity retaining
Unrestricted reserves and havinB sufficient resources to continue operating for the 'foreseeable future.
