TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of the The Adam Centre for the 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023. The Annual report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Since the company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.
Objectives and activities
a. Policies and objectives
The principal objects of the charity are:
(a) to promote the welfare of and meet the needs of older people by the provision and maintenance of day facilities, having regard to and conforming with the policies and relevant service specifications laid down by Angus Council; and (b) to meet the needs of older people who are frail and vulnerable, by providing the means to maintain self-confidence and self-esteem, thereby improving their condition of life while remaining in the community.
b. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives
As a Board we have worked together to address these challenges: we are improving our marketing to both potential service users and referrers (local authority and private). A marketing plan is being developed and a new website created: this will be live in the next financial year, and associated marketing materials are being developed. All staff mandatory training is kept up to date, but we have plans to introduce extra dementia training to ensure we are equipped with the increased challenges this brings. We have had a difficult year with long term sick leave, which required us to review both our administrative and IT structure. This year staff have been involved in facilitated team improvement events, with these being planned to continue biannually, providing time for members of staff to be part of any new developments within the Centre.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE ADAM CENTRE
We have audited the financial statements of The Adam Centre (the 'charitable company') for the year ended
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 to provide a basis for our opinion.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

THE ADAM CENTRE
(A company limited by guarantee)
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE ADAM CENTRE (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, 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.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Trustees' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements.
∙the Trustees' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
∙adequate and proper accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
∙the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; 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 to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the Trustees' report and from the requirement to prepare a Strategic report.
The financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2022 were not audited.

THE ADAM CENTRE
(A company limited by guarantee)
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE ADAM CENTRE (CONTINUED)
As explained more fully in the Trustees' responsibilities statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) 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 to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
We have been appointed as auditor under section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and under the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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 Auditors' 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 (UK) 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 aggregate, 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 which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charitable company and the industry in which it operates, and considered the risk of acts by the charitable company that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. We focused on laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Companies Act 2006 and UK tax legislation. Our tests included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation and enquiries with management. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud. As in all our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
The Adam Centre is a charitable company, limited by guarantee, incorporated in Scotland with the registration number SC252797. The charity is registered with OSCR charitable number SC011007. The registered office is Warrack Terrace, Montrose, Angus, DD10 8RX.
The financial statements are presented in Sterling, which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest £.
2.Accounting policies
All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement, the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of entitlement to a legacy exists when the company has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them (through knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefactor) and the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of a legacy must be recognised when it is probable that it will be received and the fair value of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed to the company, can be reliably measured.
Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Tangible fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on a reducing balance basis.
Depreciation is provided on the following bases:
Depreciation has not been charged on the property, as the residual value of the asset is not materially different from the carrying amount. The property is maintained to a high standard and is unlikely to decrease in value from the original cost.
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
The charity has been advised by the representatives of an estate to expect receipt of a legacy amounting to at least £250,000. By the year end, £200,000 had been received in interim payments, which has been recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as legacy income. The remaining amount to be received cannot yet be quantified accurately and so the trustees believe this remains a contingent asset of the charity.
The charity has also been advised to expect a receipt of another legacy amounting to at least £50,000. By the year end £45,000 had been received in interim payments, which has been recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as legacy income. A further amount of £10,000 was received in August 2023, and further amounts are due to be received but cannot yet be quantified accurately and so the trustees believe this remains a contingent asset of the charity.
The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the group in an independently administered fund. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the group to the fund and amounted to £10,660 (2022 - £9,010). Contributions outstanding to the fund at the balance sheet date were £258 (2022 - £639) and are included in creditors.
A misstatement in the prior period has been identified affecting the income from donations and legacies and the accrued and deferred income balances. The comparative figures have been amended to correct this, resulting in a increase in the surplus and unrestricted reserves for the year of £17,464.
