INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF
THE BRITISH INSTITUTE IN EASTERN AFRICA
(A Company Limited by Guarantee not having a Share Capital)
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The British Institute in Eastern Africa (the parent ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, Consolidated and Charity Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of 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 parent charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including 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 of the Companies Act 2006.
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 charitable company 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 trustees’ 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 entity'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 trustees are responsible for the other information. 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. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements 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 to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the trustees’ report, which includes the directors’ report prepared for company 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF
THE BRITISH INSTITUTE IN EASTERN AFRICA
(A Company Limited by Guarantee not having a Share Capital)
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
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 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 accounting records have not been kept by the parent charitable company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; 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 take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the trustees’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 5 the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) 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 trustees 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 trustees are responsible for assessing the group’s and parent charitable company’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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
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.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Discussions with and enquiries of management and those charged with governance were held with a view to identifying those laws and regulations that could be expected to have a material impact on the financial statements. During the engagement team briefing, the outcomes of these discussions and enquiries were shared with the team, as well as consideration as to where and how fraud may occur in the entity.
The following laws and regulations were identified as being of significance to the entity:
-
Those laws and regulations considered to have a direct effect on the financial statements include UK financial reporting standards, Company Law, and Charity Law.
-
Those laws and regulations for which non-compliance may be fundamental to the operating aspects of the charity and therefore may have a material effect on the financial statements include compliance with the charitable objectives, public benefit, Kenyan NGO & other regional law, safeguarding and health & safety legislation.
Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and noncompliance with laws and regulations) comprised of: inquiries of management and the Trustees as to whether the entity complies with such laws and regulations; enquiries with the same concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims; inspection of relevant legal correspondence; review of Trustee meeting minutes; testing the appropriateness of journal entries; and the performance of analytical review to identify unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF
THE BRITISH INSTITUTE IN EASTERN AFRICA (A Company Limited by Guarantee not having a Share Capital)
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
No instances of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity’s controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism 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 procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charitable company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charitable company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Opinion on other matter as required by British Academy grant letter
In our opinion, in all material aspects, the grant payments from the British Academy have been applied in accordance with, and for the purposes set out in, the Agreement.
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.

When payments are eventually made. they are charged to the provision carried in the Balance Sheet. j) Pensions Staff on UK-ba5ed contracts are offered tnenibership of the Uiiiver5lties Superaiinuation Schetne (USS}. The assets of the scheme are held in a separate trustee-administered fund. Because ol. the mutual nature of the scheme. the assets are not attributed io individual institutions and a schen)e-wide coi)tribuiion rate is set. The institutioi) is therelore exposed to actuarial risks associated with other institutions. employees and is unable to ideniily its share ol. the underlying assets ai)d liabiliiies of the scheme on a consistent and reasonable basis. As required by Section 28 of FRS 102"EmpIoee beiiefiis" the institution therelore accounts lor the scheme as if it were a defined contribution scheme. As a result. the amouni charged to the profit and loss account represents the contributions payable to the scheme. Since the institution has entered into an agreement (the Recovery Plan) that deterniines how each emplover '1th1n the scheme will fund the overall deficit, the instituiion recognises a liabiliiy for the contributions payable that arise from the agreement (to the extsnt that they relate to the deficit) with related expenses being recognised through the profit and ILISS account. k) Financial instruments The Institute only enters into basic financial instruments transactions thai result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities such as debtors and creditors. Financial instruments are initially me&sured at transaction value. They are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impaimlent. If objective evidence of impaimieni is fL)und, an impaimlent loss is recognised in the SOFA. l) Foreign currency translatio The financial ststements are presented in Sterling, which is also the functional currency of the Institute. The Institute has income and expenditure in sterling and non-sierling currencies and consequently maintains bank accounts in various currencies to facilithie this. The Trustees. policy is to exchange sterling currei)cy onl5J when Ihe income is certain and the expenditure is foreseeable. Foreign currencv trai)sactions are translaied into the functional currei)cy using the exchange rate at the date of the tran&4ction. At each period end loreign currency moneiary items are translaied using the closing rate. 15

JUDGEMENTS Ir4 APPLYIIYG ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATIOiY UNCERTAINTY The preparation of th¢ finan¢ial stat¢m¢nts requires management to make jiidgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets aiid liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the aniounts reponed for reveiiues and expenses during the year. The nature of estimation means th¢ actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. The key Source of estiTnation uncertainty that could have an impact 01) the finaiicial ststemeiits relates to the decision to Iiot capitslise the heritagTe asset. Note Id) above gives the explaiiatioii for this while iiote 9 provides more infoTmatioii about the asset itself. FRS 102 niakes tl)e distinction betweeii a group plan and a Inulti-eniplo)'er scheme. A group plaii consist5 of a collection of entities under con)mon coi)trol typically with a spoi)soring en)ployer. A multi-employer scl)en)e is a scheme lor entities not under comn)on control and represei)ts (typically) an industrv-wide stheine sueh as Universities Superannuation Scheme. The accounting for a multi-en)ployer gtheine where the en)plo)ier has ei)tered into ai) agreen)ent with the scheme that determii)es l)ow the employer will I'und a deficit results in the recogt)itioi) of a liability for the contributions pa)iable that arise from the atsreement (to the extent that they relate to the deficit) and the resulting expense in prolit tsr loss in accordance with section 28 01. FRS 102. The trustees are satisfied that Universities Superannuaiion Scheme meets the definition of a multi-employer scheme and has Iherefore recognised the discounted fair value of Ihe contractual contributions under the reclivery plan in existence ai the date of approving the financial statements. 16
