    Taxation Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date. Deferred Tax Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date. Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. 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. Hire Purchase and Leasing Commitments Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to surplus or deficit on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. Pension Costs and Other Post-Retirement Benefits The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Company activities and impact

Access Technology Scotland CIC exists to widen access to learning opportunities and provide learning and training opportunities, activities and sessions to it’s “Priority Groups”. The Priority Groups are people living within Scotland’s communities who are less likely to otherwise be able to access the opportunities it provides. They include but are not necessarily limited to: - people living in areas of multiple deprivation - the old and the young - people who have disability or illness - people experiencing financial hardship - people who belong to an ethnic minority - people who live in geographically isolated areas During the financial year Apr 24-Apr 25 we continued our crucial access to day-to-day digital skills training and support through a variety of powerful projects. Through various funding secured from The Good Things Foundation, the National Lottery, and Robertson Trust. The provision of digital skills support and improved access was again tackling barriers with these projects including more tailored avenues of support such as home visits and 1-1. Funded through the National Lottery’s Young Start Programme, we have continued into year 2 of the fully funded opportunity for the young people of Inverclyde. This unique employability-centred project is aimed at young people in Inverclyde aged between 16-24. Developing many new skills, 20 young people a year will be leading a local refurbishment initiative refurbishing approx. 100 donated computers, saving them from landfills and reusing them for the benefit of residents in need and the creation of a local Circular Economy.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company’s stakeholders are first and foremost the participants in the learning activities offered, with others being partnership organisations we work with and staff. The directors of the company lived in Inverclyde most of their lives and have been involved in education for closed to 25 years giving them the knowledge and relevant information and experience to create a sound and effective business model. Various evaluation methods are utilised after every course delivered to evaluate delivery methods and content, and also to enquire about new topics and training needs that the members of the community have and that possibly be met by the company. Also consultation with local organisations is ongoing in searching and exploring for new partnerships and learning opportunities. This evaluative data and research has allowed us to modify project content and delivery for future funding applications allowing delivery to be expanded and adapted to suit a broader range of participant breaking down an ever increasing number of barriers.
