Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 March 2024

  • 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

    Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: Rendering of services Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied: -the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; -it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract; -the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and -the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.

    Other accounting policies

    Debtors: Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Cash and cash equivalents Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value. Creditors Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Company activities and impact

Advanced Oxford is a membership organisation with members drawn from R&D based/innovative companies working across Oxfordshire. Our membership includes companies, as well as Oxford’s two Universities, the NHS and providers of innovation infrastructure and support. Advanced Oxford was set up in response to the Oxford Innovation Engine Update report. Published in 2016, the report identified the need for stronger engagement from the innovative businesses in Oxfordshire in the work to develop the region as a centre of excellence and an engine room for innovation. Work to scope and set up Advanced Oxford started in 2017. We have an established team, published research and live projects that will take us forward into 2025 and beyond. In 2024 continued with our workplan, established in 2023, that will take us forward into future years. Further information about Advanced Oxford, our members and our work can be found on our website, www.AdvancedOxford.com. Our website contains our research publications and information on live projects. Advanced Oxford is research-led, providing analysis and a united voice for our members on the key issues affecting the development of the innovation ecosystem in the Oxford region. We generate our own research and work to support and inform key stakeholders involved in the development of the business environment, infrastructure and policy. Advanced Oxford is working to support the long-term development and success of the Oxford region as a place to live and work. We do this by drawing on our collective experience of setting up, running or working in knowledge-based, innovation-focused businesses and organisations. We use our connections to other businesses to generate evidence and undertake research. We want to support the long-term development and success of the Oxford region as a place to live and work. While we have an active interest in issues that impact on growth – housing, transport, skills and talent etc – we are also interested in the lived experience, which is why we previously conducted research into Quality of Life. We also work with other organisations, supporting regional activities, for example our Managing Director sits on the steering committee of the Oxford Inclusive Economy Partnership and represents Advanced Oxford on the Oxford – Cambridge Supercluster Board.

Consultation with stakeholders

Consultation with stakeholders of Advanced Oxford CIC (i.e. members and other interested parties such as non-member companies, district councils and Oxfordshire LEP) takes place on regular basis, both through face to face meetings, individually and collectively, and through e mail communications, surveys, workshops and interviews. Consultation work has informed Advanced Oxford’s work plan and priorities and the plan has been approved by our Board, which includes representatives from our membership. Meetings tend to take place in person, including member meetings, which typically take place 2 to 3 times a year.
