that inclusivity, environmental sustainability and digital infrastructure all play an important role in our development.
We completed an Access Review which will help steer our organisalion toward a more inclusive luture. We have
raised our profile through national media and been featured in BBC1 Countryfile, the Guardian, BBC Radio 4
Front Row and the Times.
The support of Arts Council England, both through our continued NPO relationship and through the Cultural

website and Customer Relationship Management System, and extending our digital programme. We are grateful
to Arts Council England and the Department for Digital Culture Media and Sport for this vital funding. We have
worked hard to increase the secondary spend on sile, procuring new caterers, introducing café pods in the

and donors, and have secured crucial funding for the development of our Naples galleries in 2023 and other
projects in future years.
Our visitors have experienced a range of exciting activities, events and exhibib'ons throughout the year. From
May. we were thrilled to be able to invite schools and groups back to our site, and in the final seven months of
the year we welcomed over 1400 schoolchildren to the galleries. As well as continuing to run our ever-popular
Forest S¢hool. we Irialled a number of new initiatives to engage local families and young people with art and
nature. In December, we opened our first ever show curated by our Youth Pane5. We've continued to invest in the

Investmentpolicy
CVHT commissioned a property review in 2020 which has informed the amount of funds required to mainlaln and

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THETRUSTEESOF COMPTON VERNEY HOUSE TRUST
Opinion
We have audited the accounts of Compton Verney House Trust Ithe'parent charity'l and its subsidiary (the group)
for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the consolidated ststement of financial activities, the
balance sheets, the consolidated statement of cash lows, the principal accounting policies and the notes lo the
accounts. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their PTeparation is applicable law and United
Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, (United Kingdom Generally AC￿pted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the accounts..
give a true and fair view ofthe slate of the group's and of the parent charity's affairs as at 3lDe￿Mber 2021
and of its income and expenditure for the year then ended-,
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements ol the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Inlemabonal Standards on Auditing IUKI IISAS IUKI} and applicable
law. Our re5ponsibilitie5 under th05e standards are further described in the auditorfs responsibilities for the audit
of the accounts section ofour report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements
that are relevant to our audit of the accounts in the UK. including the FRC'S Elhic81 Standard, and we have fulfilled
our other ethical responsibilities In accordance with these. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Emphasls of matter- accounts prepared on a bas1$ other than golng concern
We draw attentson to the statement regarding going concern in the principal accounting policies. which indicates
that the trustees have prepared the accounts on a basis other than a going concern basi5. This is due to the
actsvities. assets and liabilities of the charity being transferred to Compton Verney House Charity on 31 March
2022. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Other infomiation
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included
in the annual report and accounts. other than the accounts and our 8uditorfs report thereon. Our opinion on the
accounts does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion Ihereon.
In connection with our audit of the accounts, our responsibility is to read the other information and. in doing so,
¢onsider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the accounts or our knowledge obtained in
the audit or othe￿iSe appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent
material misstalement5, we are required to detemine whether there is a material misstatement in the a¢¢ounls
or a material misstatement of the other information. If. based on the work we have performed, we conclude that
there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required lo reF)Ort that fact.
We have nothing to reF)Ort in this regard.

Responslbllltles of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees, responsibilities statement, the trustees are responsible for the preparation

trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of accounts that are free from material misstatement.

In prepartng the accounts, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group's and the parent charity's ability
lo eontinue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters Telaled to going Concern and using the going
concem basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or the parent charity or to
cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but lo do so.
Audltor's responsibilities for the audit of the accounts
Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assuran￿ about whether the accounts as a whole are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and lo issue an auditorfs report that includes our opinion. Reasonable
assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audtt conducted in accordance with ISAS
IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstalemenls can arise from fraud or error and
are conSide￿d 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 accounts.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design prO￿dureS
in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to delecl material misslalements in respect of irregularitie5,
including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are Capable of detecting irregLslarities. including fraud is

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including

Audltor's responsibilities for the audil of the accounts (continued)
we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable lo the group and
detemiined that the most significant frameworks which are directty relevant to specific asserbons in the
accounts a￿ those that relate to the reporting framework Istalemenl of Recommended Practice.. Accounting
and Reporting by Charities prepaiing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the United Kingdom and Republi¢ of Ireland {FRS 1021 and the Charities Act 20111 and those
that relate to data protection (General Data Protection Regulation).
Vve assessed the susceptibility of the group's accounts lo material misstatement, including obtaining an
understanding of how fraud might occur. by..
making enquiries of management as to their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud- and
considering the internal ¢onlrols in place lo mitigate risks of fraud and non-complianee with laws and
regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of contro15. we..
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships..
tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions.. and
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in detemining the accounting estimates for the
calcuSation of the annual depreciation charge- the allocation of support costs behveen charitable expenditure
categories-, and the estimation of future income and expendilure flows for the purpose of assessing going
concern were indicative of potents.al bias.
In response to the risk of irre9ularilies and non-compliance with laws and Tegulations, we designed prcKedures
wh￿h included, but were not limited to..
reading the minutes of meetings of Ihose charged with governance-, and
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and
regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance.
Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non4ompliance with laws and regulations
to enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, If
any.
Material misstalernents that arise due lo fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they
may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

Council's website at Mvw.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditols repoit

Crltl¢al accountlng estlmates and areas of Judgement
Preparation of the accounts requires the Govemors and management to make significant judgements and
estimates.
The items in the accounts where these judgements and estimates have been made include..
• the useful economic lives attributed to tangible fixed assets used to determine the annual depreciation
charge-,
• the allocation of support cost5 betsveen charitable expenditure ¢ategories',
• the estimation of future income and expenditure flows ft>r the purpose of assessing going concern (see
below).
Golng concem
The Governors have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing
these financial statements. The Govemors have made th￿S assessment in respect to a period of one year from
the date of approval of these financial slalements.
As described in the Governors, ￿pOrt, the Charity's assets, liabilities and activities were transferred lo Compton

Principal accounting poli¢ie$ 31 De¢ember 2021
The Governors acknowledge and recognise the ongoing potential impact of Covid-19 on the future operations
of the charity, ils beneficiaries, partners and stakeholders and on wider society. As well as the personal risk to
health of ils staff, the charity may lose planned income as the result of the cancellation of events andlor the
absence of key personnel, although there may also be some compensating expenditure savings. The reduced
opportunities for scheduled face to fa￿ interaction may well impact on the ability lo plan effectively for the
medium term but. al the current lime, it is not anlicipaled that the financial solvency of the charity is materially
threatened. As detailed in the Governors, report we continue to lake account of the challenges and opportunities
that the pandemic poses. This will help ensu￿ Compton Vemey remains relevant and can meet its charitable
objects.
The Governors do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that
have significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carryin9 amounts of assels and liabilities within the
next reporting period.
