Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of approving these accounts, the Board have considered revised financial forecasts for the current and proceeding financial year. They have considered the risks and opportunities for the Group's trading. They recognise there are current funding shortfalls but consider that the action being taken by The Audience Agency will be sufficient to continue trading for at least twelve months. On that basis, the trustees have prepared these financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “A merger with Culture 24 during the year also generated income of 7% of the total income.”
• “At the start of 23/24, The Audience Agency adopted a revised business plan as a result of the disinvestment from Arts Council England.”
• “The Board had agreed that 2023/24 would be a transition year for The Audience Agency (TAA), with the aim that by the end of the year, the organisation would have a clear strategy for the future, with an appropriate business model and organisational structure to support that.”
• “We therefore reduced the scale and scope of product development to enable us to focus the TAA resources on completion of the UK paid-for product. We were able to launch a comprehensive, completely redesigned "Audience Answers" a subscription-based offer (with some free services) to replace Audience Finder.”
• “Product development activity and some associated staff were moved from the subsidiary (TAAS) into the charity (TAA) with effect from 1 April 2023. The AFG asset was bought by TAA from TAAS on 31 August 2023 at a value of £138k.”
• “Altogether 16 posts were taken out of the structure, through a mixture of redundancy and natural turnover. In addition, we became an entirely remote organisation during the year, moving out of both our London and Manchester offices.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
