Independent auditor's report to the members of Sussex House School for the year ended 31 August 2021 Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the couise of the audit". the information given in the trustees, report. which indudes the directors, report prepaTed for cotnpany law purposes. for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements., and the directors, report included within the trustees, report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Matters on whlch we are requlred to report by exceptlon In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the ITuslees' report. We have nothing tr) report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion= adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us., or the financial slaternenls ale not in agreement with the accounting re¢ords and returns., or certain disclosures of trustees, remuneration specified by law are not made., or we have not reiVed all the information and explanations we require for our audit,. or the trustees. weie not entitled to take advantage of the srn811 cotllP8nies' 8x8mpb.ons in preparing the trLJStee5' r8POrt and from the requirernent lo prepare a strategic report. Responsibilitie8 of trustees As explained more fully in the trustees, responsibilities statement the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the putpose5 of cotnpany18wl are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied Ih8t they give a true and fair view. and for such intemal control as the Iruslees detennine is necessary lo enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial stslemenls, the trustees are iesponsible ft)i assessing the charitable cornpany's ability to wnlinue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, rnatters related to going concem and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do 50. Audltor's responslbllltles for the audlt of the flnanclal statements Our objectives are to obtain ieasonable assuran about whether the financial statements as a whole ale free from material misstatement, whether due lo fraud or error. and to issue an auditorfs report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will alayS detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be expected to influence the econornic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Iriegularilies, including fraud. are lnstsnS of non-COTnpllan with laws 8nd regul*ions. We design procedures in line wlh our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularrties, including fraud. The extent to which our prOdureS are capable of detecting irregularities, induding fraud is detailed below.. Discussions with and enquiries of managernent and those charged with governance were held wth a view to identifying those laws and regulations that could be expecied to have a material impact on the financial statements. During the Page 10
Independent auditor's report to the members of Sussex House School for the year ended 31 August 2021 engagement team briefing, the outcomes of these discussions and enquiries were shared with the team, as well as consideration as to where 8nd how fraud tllay occui in the entity. The following laws and regulations were identified as being of significance lo the entity.. Those laws and regulations considered to have a direct effect on the financial statements include UK finanaal reporting standards, Comp8ny Law. and Ch8rity Law. Those laws and regulations forwhich non-compliance may be fundamental to the operating aspects of the charity and therefore may have a material effect on the finanaal ststements indude compliance wrfth charitable objectives, child protection & safeguarding legislation, etnployment law, public benefit requiretnents, health & 581ety and data protection regulations. Audit proTrduies undertaken in iesponse to the potential risks relating to irregularities Iwhich include fraud and non- Complian with laws and regulalionsl comprised of.. inquiries of management and the Trvslees as lo whether the entity complies with such laws and regulations., enquiries with the same conMIng any actual or potential litigation or claims., inspection of relevant legal correspondence", review of Trustee meeting minutes", testing the appropriateness ol joumal entries,. and the performance of 8Nalylical review lo identify unexpected rnovemenls in 8ccouiII balances which May be indicative of fraud. No ins18nce5 of material non-cornplian¢e were identified. Howevei, the likelihood of deteding itregularrf(ie5. including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness ol the entity's controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit prOdureS perfomied. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than iriegularities th8t result from 8iroi. As explained above, th81e is an un8voidable iisk that rnateiial tnisstatement5 may not be detected. even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAS (UIQ. As part of an audit in accordance wth ISAS IUKI, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional seepticism throughout the audit. We also.. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit prOdureS responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is suffiaent and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a rnaterial rnisslalernent resutting from fraud 15 higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations. or the override of intemal control. Obtain an understanding of internal wntrol relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circurllslances. bul not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charitable cornpany's internal control. Ev8luate the 8ppioprialeness of accounting poli¢ie5 used and the ie8sonableness of accounting estimates 8nd related disclosures rnade by the trustees. Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees, use of the going cOnM basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a rnateri81 uncertainty exi5t5 related to event5 01 condition5 that may cast significant doubt on the ch8ritable company s ability lo continue as a going concein. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists. we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disdosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosUS are inadequate, to modtfy our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditorf5 report. However, ftjture events or Conditions tnay cause the chaii18ble wmp8ny lo Cease lo continue as a going concem. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the finanaal statements, induding the disclosures, and whether the financial staternents represent the undedying transactions and events in 8 manner that achieves fair presentation.

The Chief Secretary to the Treasury, having in 2018 announced that there would be a review of this cost cap mechanism, in January 2019 announced a pause to the cost cap mechanism folk)wing the Court of Appeal'5 ruling in the McCloudlS8rgeant Case and until there is certainly about the value of pensions lo employees from April 2015 onwards. The pause was lifted in July 2020 and the government is preparing to complete the cost control element of the 2016 valuations, which is expected to be completed in 2021.
