After the challenges of 22-23, this has been a good year for the Museum for several reasons. Our visitor figures grew another 14%. we have seen education visits return to pre-pandemic levels and our trading company Is starting to generate more profit. Our annual pass scheme continues to gather momentum wlth many local famllles vislting over four time5 per year and building a relationship with the Museum. We have expanded our school holiday activities to include additional activities like model making with Model For Heroes and other third party providers like local farm visits, science shows and STEM companies. Saturday l July 2023 saw the third year of Wallop Wheels & Wings take place. The event was the blggest yet with 4,775 attendees and So aircraft flying in. We built new partnerships with Cadet groups, car clubs and other charities. The event delivered a reasonable surplus supporting the fundraising objectives of the Museum and helpin8 With our operatlonal costs. A big focus this year has been on community development. We have worked hard to create meanlngful relationships wlth local businesses, not only to create more income through corporate bookings but also to raise awareness of the Museum and what we do. We have reintroduced an outreach programme with local care homes and have been delighted to reinvigorate our offer for ScoutlGuide/BrownlelCub groups to support their Alr Activlties Badges. We are contlnuing to grow our Corporate Partners scheme and have been delighted to add GKN Aerospace to our list of partners this year. Our work with Leonardo has allowed us to develop a new STEM trail looking at the development of military aircraft and aimed at the 11-14 year old age group. We held anothersuccessful STEM Day for local secondary schools with over 150 participants. We have Introduced new events like The Brlck Event and Pre-school Pllots toddlergroup to help diversify our audience and have seen a widening of our catchment area. Our lectures now run monthly with a broad range of topics covered including more modern operations. We have also started to put on day-time talks and themed tours to offer more variety for our vlsitors. Sustainability has been an important part of our work thls year. We undertook a review of operations in the café to improve our green credentials and added recycling provision acr055 the Museum. Staff undertook Carbon Literacy training and we are ensuring our sustainability is embedded in future plans. We received funding to install a deflbrlllator for use by our local community and are working on plans to renovate our outside play area to make it more accessible. We are also, finally, looking forward to installing an Apache AH Mk.1 in the Museum this year- the final part of Project Eagle. The first gifting application was submitted 12 years ago and we are delighted that we will be the first museum in Europe to display one of these iconic aircraft. We've had a stron8 year, and it is imperative that we keep the momentum over the coming months to deliver an even stronger year in 2024- 25. Major General {Retd) Nell Sexton C8 Chalrman PaBe 2

This worked exceptionally well in terms of the Museum's ownership of the event and also greatly improved the profitability of the event.

These launched in April 2020 and quickly grew In popularlty, and a grant from the Heritage Fund Emergency Fund In late 2020 allowed us to purchase our own live-stream equipment. Now, we live stream all our lectures as well as having a Ilve audience In the Museum, and we offer them to view on catch up too.

Army Flylng Museum Llmlted Company number: 2109510 Irregularitie5, including ffaud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulatlOll5. We design procedures in line with our respon5ibilitie5. Outlined above. to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities. including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detectlng IrreEularities. Including fraud is detailed below- We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charity and the sector in which it operates through discussions with management. sector research, and the application of relevant audit knowledge and experience We made enquiries of management around actual and potential litl8ation and claims We made enqulrles of management and relevant staff. and designed our audit procedure5. including reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing of supporting documentation, to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulatlons. We focussed on laws and regulations which could give rise to material misstatement in the financial statements including, but not limited to. the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, the Charities SORP, and the Financial Reporting Standard 102. We identified the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud and deslEned audlt procedures to respond to the risk. We performed audit procedures designed to address the risk of fraud arislng from management overrlde of controls, including, but not limited to, testing of journal entries and other adjustments, reviewing accounting estimates for evidence of blas, and evaluatln8 the buslness ratlonale of signiflcant transactions outside the normal course of business Because of the Inherent limltatlons of an audlt. there Is a rlsk that we will not detect all irregularitles. including those leading to a material misstatemer)t 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 statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instance5 of non- compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud Involves Intentional concealment, forgery, colluslon, omission or misrepresentation.
