ANATOMICAL SOCIETY {A company limited by guarantee) MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024 Introduction l am delighted lo introduce this year's Trustees, Annual Report. We have made good progress on some of the activities and strategies we planned last year, and have initiated several new ones. It is impossible to cover all of these in my introduction, bul they are discussed throughout this annual report. Successes We continue to develop our relationships with several other societies to improve our influence both nationally and intemalionally. The excellent International Federation of Associations of Anatomists, IIFAA} conference in South Korea. attended by several of our members and councillors, provided a good opportunity to strengthen our relationships with this overarching body, as well as several other national associations. Our two IFAA representatives, Joanna Matthan and I, attended the General Assembly, which allowed us to vole both on the candidates standing for positions on their various committees and on the location of the next bul one IFAA conference Ichilel. We re-established a relationship with the incoming President of the IFAA, Helen Nicholson from New Zealand, as well as several other members of the Executive Committee. We also enjoyed a presentation on the Melbourne congress lo be held in 2026. As one of the strategic partners of the Royal Society of Biology IRSBI, it has been possible for us to become involved in the development of their 20-year vision and their political influence on science nationally in this trying time for evidence-based information. As an organisation supporting the whole of biology nationally, they provide a united voice with increased political impact. We have also held meetings between the three Presidents of the British Association of Clinical Anatomists IBACAI, the Institute of Anatomical Sciences IIASI and our Society to bring these organisations closer together and lo work on some joint initiatives, as well as meetings with representatives of the Earfy Career Anatomists to support the next generation of scientists and educators. Among many other things, these collaborations have resurrected the Anatomy Associations Advisory Committee, a joint initiative between BACA, the IAS and our Society, which aims to establish best practice relating to the Human Tissue Act and the use of human material for Anatomical Examination. We have continued to strengthen our relationship with our German colleagues in the Analomische Gesellschaft, with them holding a lovely symposium at our summer conference in Edinburgh, and are presently planning a tripartite meeting with them and the Nederlandse Analomen Vereniging, probably to be held in 2027. On the topic of conferences, we have held very successful and well allended meetings this year. Our winter conference was held in Liverpool, bringing together several strands of craniofacial anatomy from evolution, biomechanics, and morphology lo maxillofacial interventions. Well done lo Claire Tierney, Nathan Jeffery and their team for an outstanding conference. In the summer, we travelled to Edinburgh lo attend the first combination wnference bettveen our anatomical (Journal of Anatomy) and ageing (Aging Cell) journal communities Sin￿ the launch of the latter journal twenty years ago. This resulted in a fascinating symposium, with truly excellent speakers from both sides making real efforts to foster understanding and collaborations, whilst including topics interesting lo both communities in their talks. Many thanks go lo the organising committee of Monty Montano, Tamir Chandra, Nelly Olova, Lyndsay Murray, Olivia Murray, Simon Parson, Eilidh Ferguson and Jennifer Paxton. Papers from these two conferences will be published in both journals, with Monty Montano, Tamir Chandra and Simon Parson driving these publications. Both conferen￿$ also included useful early career sessions and educational components to stimulate interest and conversations between both new and established anatomists. We extend our congratulations to two distinguished academics, Professor Roger Keynes and Dr David Heylings, whose contributions to science and our Society were acknowledged with the award of Honorary Fellowship.

ANATOMICAL SOCIErY {A company limited by guarantee) MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT (contlnuedl FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024 Our pilot mentorship scheme is now up and running, with people across the academic career spectrum having been partnered with a mentor or menlee. Our next aims are to roll this out lo the wider sector, particularly undergraduate anatomists, and to expand the scheme lo a greater number of members. In terms of representation, all our standing committees have undergone a review of membership, whilst fully transparent processes for selecting members (national and intemalionall and Deputy Officers have been instituted. with the aim of widening participation across our membership. We have continued to increase opportunities for more members lo engage with our activities through our 'cascade' system, with objectives for each committee broken into smaller working groups led by one or more of the committee. These initiatives have been highly successful, and I commend the Chairs of our standing committees for their excellent efforts. Additionally, we have opened up the process of selection of the next President of the Society from our more senior members. We are also in the process of carrying out a review of OLJr regulations, some of which are now out of date or do not clearly reflect the inclusivity and transparency we are trying lo strengthen in all that we do. These modified regulations will be presented at Council and our Annual General Meeting in due course. Our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee is now fully established, with action plans to ensure the embedding of these imFlOrtanl principles in all our activities. Finally, we are implementing major revisions lo our website, with the intention of transforming and modemising it over the next period. Challenges This is a Challenging time for learned societies, with the transition lo open access publishing sure to decrease publishing revenues in the future. Although Aging Cell is already open access, the Journal of Anatomy, our major source of income, will be negatively affected, although we continue to collaborate with our publishers to maintain journal income al a reasonable level for the time being. We are investigating other sources of income in our strategy groups, bul it is almost certain that our provision of PhD studentships will have lo be reduced, because il is our largest expenditure each year. We have attempted lo mitigate this by developing joint PhDs with two other societies, the Royal National Institute for Deaf People and Motor Neuron Disease (Scotlandl Ilhanks lo Abbie Carr and Simon Parson respeclivelyl, but these and other initiatives are unlikely lo allain the levels of revenue generated previously. Although our financial reserves are heaY(hy at present, our expenditure will need serious review over the next few years. Another issue is the continuing rise in the demands of an academic career, which makes it more difficult for our many volunteers, who support the Society selflessly and in their own lime, to find opportunities lo carry out activities related to organisations external lo their own instilulions. The thanks owed lo these wonderful colleagues Isee below) is therefore even more deeply felt. The first rise in undergraduate fees for many years, recently announced by the new government, will not prevent the enormous financial pressures on universities and their staff, bul it is hoped, will al least limit the growing losses. Thanks I would like lo extend grateful thanks lo our Executive Administrator for her continued, excellent contribution lo the work of our Society throughout the year. Additionally, our Editors in Chief, Phil Cox, Monty Montano, James Sleigh, Neil Vargesson and Evie Vereecke, and our Managing Editors, Ed Fenton (Journal of Analomyl and Stephanie Waller (Aging Cell) contribute enormously lo the Society by sustsining and supporting our major source of income. We also thank the wonderful teams we rely on to maintain our business and lo enhance our practices. These include Silvana Losilo, Paul Trevorrow and the publishing team IWiley}.

Expenditure was at similar levels lo the prior years. Overall, this is consistent with our slated policy of aiming to maintain expenditure on charitable activities. The value of the two main investment portfolios increased over the financial yearfrom £3,583,366 10 £4,392,566 and while there was a increase in income from listed investment to £121,403 from £86,834, there were also net gains of £492,504 compared lo nel losses of £171.748 in the prior year from the portfolio. The trustees. in view of the continuing low bank interest rates and under advice from our investment managers, are continuing lo maintain the level of investment in the Society's investment portfolio. The online accounting system is fully operational for accounting and budgeting for both the Society and the Company ofAnatomisls. Public benefit Our annual public benefit activities included two very well attended conferences with scientific and educational symposia and public lectures., sponsorship of 4 new PhD research studenlships (two jointly funded) to commence October 2024, with a tol81 of 11 funded this year,. grants lotalling £22,571 were awarded to 28 scientists to disseminate or develop their research121 Syminglon Bequests, 6 Barclay-smith and 1 Analomic81 Society Research Development Award ),' grants of £21,775 awarded to seven undergraduate students for summer research projects. sponsorship of four university departmental seminars. and expenditure on prizes amounting lo £1204 Golng Concem Given the level of free reserves available at the year end, the valuation of the investments and the agreed publishing contract and income from Wiley through its subsidiary entity, the Trustees consider that the Society has adequate resources lo continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, this is based on reviewing budgeted spend and those available resources for a period of 12 months through lo the end of 2025. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and the trustees do not believe there are any material uncertainties in relation to going concern.

The Society and its trading subsidiary, the Company of Anatomists Limited, publish two journ8ls, the Joumal of Anatomy and Aging Cell, through Wiley publications. These journals, particularly the former, continue lo be the major source of revenue for the Society, and the threat of loss of income due to open access publishing campaign continues lo be monitored and reviewed together with our publisher. Aging Cell has been operating on an open ac￿$$ model for several years and, thus far there has been no negative impact upon the revenue from this journal. We are mindful of the fact that our reserves musl be adequate lo cover the longer-term liabilities of PhD sludentships, employment costs, website and membership services and consequently maintain at least three year forward liquidity to cover all sludentship costs for th￿e year 19

All significant risks, together with current mitigation actions, are reviewed regulady throughout the year by the Trustees. The Trustees are satisfied that systems have been developed and are in place to mitigate identified risks to an acceptable level.

ANATOMICAL SOCIETY INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024 Opinion We have audited the financial statements of the Anatomical Society ended 30 September 2024 which comprise the Group of Financial Aclivilies, the Group and Parent Charitable Company Balance Sheets, the Group Statement of Cash Flows and notes lo the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Praclicel- In our opinion, the financial statements.. give a true and fair view of the stale of the group's and of the parent charitable company's affairs as at 30 September 2024 and of the group's and parent charitable company's net movement in funds, including the income and expenditure, 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 Companies Act 2006. Basls for oplnlon We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing IUKI IISAS IUKII and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of OLJr report. We are Independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that 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 that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate lo provide a basis for our opinion. Conclusions relating to going concern In auditing the financial slalemenls, we have concluded that the trustees, use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparab'on of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material Un￿rtaInlieS relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubl on the group's ability lo continue as a going concern for a period of at least ￿e1ve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect lo going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. Other infomation The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees, Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly staled in our report, we do not express any form of assuran conclusion Ihereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is lo read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial slatemenls, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears lo be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstalemenls, we are required lo determine whether there is a material misstalemenl in the financial statements or a material misslalement of the other information. If, based on the work we have perfomied, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 22

ANATOMICAL SOCIErY INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT {contlnuedl FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024 Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit.. the information given in the Trustees, Report (which includes the directors, report prepared for the purposes of company lawl for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial ststemenls., and the directors, report induded within the Trustees, Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Matters on which we are required to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstalemenls in the Trustees, Report Iwhich incorporates the directors, report). We have nothing lo report in respect of the following mallers in relation lo which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion.. adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent charitable company., or the parent charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and retums., or certain 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., or the trustees were not entitled lo prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies, regime and lake advantage of the small companies, exemptions in preparing the trustees, report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report. Responsibilities of trustees for the financial statements As explained more fully in the Iruslees, responsibilities statement sel out on page 19, the Iruslees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company lawl are responsible for the preparation of the 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 lo enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group s and the parent charitable company s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, mallers related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtsin reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstalemenl, whether due to fraud or error. and lo issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, bul is not a guamnlee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always delecl a material misslalement when il exists. Misslalements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial slalemenls. Irregularities, including fraud, are instan￿$ of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, lo delect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The exlenl to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed on the following page.. 23

ANATOMICAL SOCIErY INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT {contlnuedl FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024 Based on our understanding of the group and the environment in whieh il operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related lo regulatory requirements for GDPR, Charities Act 2011 and Companies Act 2006, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have 8 direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and Charities SORP. We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial slalements lincluding the risk of override of conlrolsl, and determined that the principal risks were related lo posting inappropriate journal entries lo revenue and management bias in accounting estimate and application of controls around authorisation of expenditure and payments. Audit procedures perfomied by the engagement team included.. Inspecting correspondence with regulators and tax authorities- Discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud., Evaluating management's controls designed to prevent and delecl irregularities- Identifying and testing journals- in particular journal entries posted with unusual account combinations. postings by unusual users or with unusual descriptions,. and Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their critical accounting estimates. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not delect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial slatemenls, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentslion. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website al.. vrnw.fr¢.org.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's 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 slate to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to slate to them in an Auditorfs report and for no other purpose. To the fullest exlenl permilled by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility lo 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.
