  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

    Turnover policy

    Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services as well as the value of services paid on behalf of the company by donors. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer. Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs. Turnover representing third party costs paid for by donors is recognised as incurred and measured at the value of services paid for.

    Other accounting policies

    TaxationA current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods. A current tax asset is recognised in respect of a tax loss that can be carried back to recover tax paid in a previous period. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference, except for revalued land and investment property where the tax rate that applies to the sale of the asset is used. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Company activities and impact

The Autistic Adult Choir (TAAC) was formed in September 2015. It is believed to be the first of its kind in the world. It is open for all ASC individuals and their parents and / or carers over the age of 18. TAAC totalled five members at launch and has since grown to nearly 50 members throughout all the four countries of the UK. There are between 20 and 30 members who like to perform in public settings with the group.TAAC members also represent the face of autism to their respective communities throughout the UK. Members live in various communities throughout the UK from as far west as Wales, the South West to Bristol, across the South Coast, Berkshire, east to Cambridge and north to Sheffield.Throughout the past year, we participated in community events that were part of Camden Council initiatives such as ‘Make Camden Great Again’, Race & Equality Foundation, BASWA film, Camdenist Christmas Concert at Regent’s Canal. In addition, we supported charities such as the Sean O’Brian Charity by participating in their annual Christmas Carol Concert and Autism London Area Group (ALAG) and the Stuart Low Trust by singing in their Christmas events. We also participated in the annual Music Festival hosted by Prior’s Court School which included other local groups in Newbury/Reading. TAAC’s participation in each of the above was to help educate the public about autism and how it can be channelled into something positive such as music that benefits not only TAAC’s members but also the community.

Consultation with stakeholders

In every activity in which TAAC is asked to participate, stakeholders are always consulted. TAAC is designed to be a ‘user led’ group meaning that the autistic members are always consulted prior to confirming any bookings. In addition, stakeholders who are consulted are those either autistic or leaders in autism work such as faculty from New York University and Adelphi University. Stakeholders also include autistic individuals in the corporate roles who have a particular interest in TAAC and provide advice both on governance, PR, and potential concerts in which we are asked to participate.TAAC is keen to keep the well-being of its members at the core of what we do, making certain they are always looked after, and safeguarding is in place, so they never feel exploited.
