Artistic Dirertor & CEO'S review 31 March 2025
Artistic Olrertor & CEO'S Revlew
In 2024 we celebrated the critical milestone of 50 year5 of Batter5ea Art5 Centre. It wa5 a fantastic opportunity
to reflect on BAC'S unique le8acy. In exploring our past, what has been notable is how the organlsatlon has
constantly re-imagined itself to meet the challenges of the times. And yet some things have been remarkably
consistent.. its boldness, its commitment to creative risk-taking, its sector leadership role a5 an innovator both
nationally and internationally. Also. its ability to survive multiple crises that have threatened it5 existence over
the decades.
In keeping with this remarkable history, It has been another year of slgnificant successes. Artisticallyi our bold
and diverse programme hès continued to push boundaries including h05ting dynamic work by Katy Baird, Fi8$ in
Wigs, L•ur• Murphyi Jo Fon8, and many other UK artists. Our international credentials continued tn hp
bub'l)i>li¢d willi sell out ihows made by Theatre Warszawa, Forced Entertalnment ènd Khalld Abdalla Iproduced
by Fuel). All of this strong cross-border programming was crowned with the International Prize at The Stage
Awards. And we also partnered on another succe55ful Iteration of the Here and Now project, the largest
showcase of work England has ever taken to the Edlnburgh FestSval.
In terms of our youth programmes, our Beatbox Academy contlnued to tour Its show Pled Piper to notional
venues including The South Bank Centre in London. the Belgrade In Coventry and the Gulbenkian in Kent. The
Dance Academy, Next Gen Producers and the Agency pro8rammes continued to thrive - our evaluations have
demonstrated how these Inltiatives have helped improve the creatSve 5kllls, employment prospects, and health
nd wellbeing of some of our most under.serNed youth.
We expanded our 5uc¢e55ful community programme which gives free space to local charities, bringing in four
new partners.. WNS, Extant. Share Community and the Arty.Crafty Crescent Club. And our Grand Hall and other
parts of the bulldln8 were made available for myrSad free hSres for community groups that dellver Important
social impact.
So. it's been a very successful yearoverall, particularly glven the difficult financial challenges all art5 organi5ations
re still havln8 to navi8ate. Looking fotward to next year. the theme Is likely to be partnerships. We are key
players in WandsWQrth's London Borough of Culture year and will be working closely wlth many local partners
on ￿lated projects. We Intend to expand our youth programmes through new collaborations and further
develop our International offer to artists through new international network5. 50, it's been a promising start to
BACS next SO years.

Our objective5 are to obtaln reasonable assurance about wheth•.r th• flnancial statements as a whole are free

expected to Influence the economic declslons of users taken on the basis of these financial statement5.
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 irregularitie5,
Including fraud, The extent to which our procedures are Capable of detectin8 irre8ularities. includln8 fraud Is
detailed below..
• the engaRement partner ensured that. thp eneagem•nt tèam collectively had the appropriate Competence,

• the Identifled laws and re8ulations were communlcated withln the audit team regularly and the team
remalned 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 complyln8 Wlth those le8al and regulatory frameworks by maklng Inqulries
to management ond those responsible for le8al, compliance and governance procedures. We corroborated
our inquiries through our review of the mlnutes of trustees. meetings and the subsidiary company directors,
meetings and papers provided to the trustees and directors.
We assessed the susceptlblllty of the group's financlal Statements to material mlsstatement, includln8 obtainln8

Aud5torfs responsibilltles for the audit of the financial st•tements Icontinuedl
In response to the risk of irregLJlarities and non<ompliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures
which included, but were not limited to..
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying 5UPPOrting documentation,.
reviewing the minutes of trustees. meetings,. and
enqulrlng of management and those char8ed with governance as to actual and potentlal IltSgatSon and
claims.
There ore inherent limitatlon5 in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and
regulatlons are from financial transactlons, the less likely it 15 that we would become aware of non.compliance.
Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulation5
to enquiry of the trustees and other rnanagement and the inspectlon of regulatory and legal correspondence. if
any.
Material m5sstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arlse Irom error as they
may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
