Monkton Combe School
Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Monkton Combe School
Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Monkton Combe School
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Monkton Combe School (‘the charitable company’) and its subsidiaries (‘the group’) for the year ended 31 August 2021 which comprise the consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the consolidated and charity Balance Sheets, the consolidated Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation 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 Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 August 2021 and of the group’s 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 of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Governors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's or the group’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The Governors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

Monkton Combe School
Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Monkton Combe School (continued)
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit
-
the information given in the trustees’ report, which includes the directors’ report and the strategic report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the strategic report and the directors’ report included within the trustees’ report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and charitable company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors’ report included within the trustees’ report.
We have nothing to 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 and proper accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the trustees’ directors’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of the Governors
As explained more fully in the Statement of the Governors’ Responsibilities statement, the Governors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Governors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Governors are responsible for assessing the group and the parent charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Acts and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s 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 (UK) will always 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 economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Details of the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations are set out below.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Monkton Combe School
Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Monkton Combe School (continued)
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements from irregularities, whether due to fraud
or error, and discussed these between our audit team members. We then designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charitable company and group operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation, together with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the charity’s and the group’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charitable company and the group for fraud. The laws and regulations we considered in this context for the UK operations were The Education (Independent School Standards) Regulations 2014.
Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Governors and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be with the completeness and accuracy of non-fee income, and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management, and the Trustees about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of journals, reviewing accounting estimates for biases, designing audit procedures over non-fee income, reviewing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission, Independent Schools Inspectorate, Ofsted and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing noncompliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Monkton Combe School Notes to the flnancial statements for the year ended 31 August 2021 (continued) 19 Pensions commitments TGher, Pen¥ion Schem• The School participates in the Teachers. PensKin Scheme llhe TPS.) for its teaching staff. The pension charge for the year indudes contributions payable to the TPS of £789.45012020: £765.2671 and al the year-end £91.362 (2020 - £90,343) was accrued in respect of contribulions to this stheme. The Govem(Ks decided to glve notica of ets'ng the Stheme on 1st September 2021 in the best inlwgsts of ts bng lemi future of the School. The TPS is an unfunded MUlteMp)Yer defined benefits pension scheme govémed by The Teachers, Pensions Regulations 2010 las amended} and The Teachers. Pension Schemè Regulations 2014 las amended). Members nlribute on a "pay as you go" basis with contributions from mombers arKI the employer beiryj credited to tha Exchequer. Retirement and other pension bonefits are paid by pUl1C funts Fyovided by Parliament. The employer contn'bution rate is set by the S¢eretary of State fcdknwng scheme valuations undertaken by th& Government ACtUaS Department. The most recent actuarial valuation ofthe TPS was prepared as at 31 March 2016 and the Valuation Report. which was wblished in March 2019, confiryned that the employer conlribution rate for the TPS would increase frcth 16.4% 10 23.6% from 1 September 2019. Employers are also requirod to pay a scheme administration18vy of 0.08% giwng a total empk)yeT contribution rate of 23.68%. The 31 March 2016 Valuation Rekh)rt was prepared in acC(anCe Vlith the benefits set tyjt In the scheme regulations and under the approaL spe¢rfied in the DIrecnS, as they applied at 5 March 2019. However, th9 assumptions were considered and set by Ihe Department for Education wor to the ruling in thè 'McCloud I Sarg8ant case,. This case has required the courts to consider cases rogardww the implementation of th8 2015 reforms to Public Service PonS)n$ including the Teachers. Pensions. On 27 June 2019 the Suprerng Court denied Ihe 9o¥emmenl permission to appeal the Court of Appeal's judgment that transiti81 provisions introduced lo the reformed pension schemes in 2015 gave rise to unlawful age discrimination. The govemment is respecting the Court's decision and has said it will engage fvlty with the EmployThent Tribunal as well as empk)yer and member reFxesentatives to agree how the discriminations will be rernedied. The government annouvKed on 4 February 2021 that it inteThls to woGeed wth a deferred choice underpin under which members will be able io choose either legacy or refornied stheme benefts in respect of their serwce during the period between 1 April 2015 and 31 March 2022 at the point they become payab. The TPS is subject to a cost cap mechanism whith wa$ put in place to prole( taxpayers against unfcfeseen changes in scheme costs. The ch Secretary to the Treasury, having in 2018 anTh)unced that there would be a review of this cost Cap mechanism. in January 2019 announced a pause to the cost cap mechanism folkjwing the Court of Appeal's ruling in the Mccloud I Sargeant case and until there is certainly alut tha value of pensions io employees from April 2015 onwards. The pause was lifted in July 2020. and a consultation was launched on 24 June on proposed thanges to Ihe cost control methanism fc4bwng a review by the Government A¢luary. Following the Put1¢ wisultstK)n, the Govemment have accepted three key proposaL8 ftcommended by Ihe Govemment Actuary. and are aimirvJ to wnfvnl these changes In tlme for the 2020 valuations. In view of Ihe ab)ve rulings and decisions the assumplions used in the 31 March 2016 Actuarial Valuation may become inappropriate. In this scenario. a vabjalion prepared in a¢¢oTdance with r8vised benefrts and suitably revised assumptions would yield differenl results than Ihose o)ntained in the Actuarial Valuation. Unbl the cost cap mechantsm revlsbjn Is o)mpleted it not possible to condud8 on anyfinanclal h)pact orfuture changes to Ihe contribution rates of the TPS. Accordingly no provision for any addltional past benefit pension ¢osis is Included In these financial ststements. (Xher Schem Certain non4cademic staff are members ofthe School's Pension Scheme. which is a money purchase scheme adminislered by a private pewons company to which LYJntributions are paKI as they become due. The pension sl charge for thg pgriod Payab by the School in respect of non-academic staff was £227,260 (2020: £227,005}. The balance outstandiThJ al tho yw4nd was £27.579 (2020: £30.$58). 46
