BLACKHEATH CONSERVATOIRE OF MUSIC AND THE ARTS LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF BLACKHEATH CONSERVATOIRE OF MUSIC AND THE ARTS LIMITED (CONTINUED) Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial ststements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a ￿le are free from material misstatemenL whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors 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 etror and are considered material if. individually or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be expected to infiuence 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 proCedU￿S in line with our responsibilities, outlined above. lo delect material misstatements in respect of irregularities. including fraud. The extent to ￿thIch our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities. including fraud is detailed below: We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the charity and determined that the most significant are the Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and the Charities SORP °Accountlng and Reporting by Chatities". Statement of ReCC￿mended Practice.. The Charity is requlred to comply with charity law and, based on our knowledge of its activities. we identified that the legal requirement to accurately account for restricted funds was of key significance. We understood how the charity is complylng with those frameworks via communication with those charged with governance, together wSth the r8view of the charitvs documeTrted pollcies and prc¢edures. Our approach included agreeing Ihe charitys recognition of income on the basis of the tuition delivered and to the terms of the underlying grant agreements and associated correspondence. the review of journal entries prO￿SSed in the accounting r8cords and the investigation of significant and unusual transactions identffied from our review of the accounting records. Our approach was also to theck that all restrlcted income was properly Identified and 58parately accounted for and to ensu￿ that only valid and appropriate expenditure was charged to restricted funds. This induded revlewing joumal adjustments and unusual transactions. Based on this understanding we designed our audit prO￿dureS to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations. Our procedures involved ￿VIeW of the reporting to the directors with respect to the application of the d(xumented policies and procedures and review of the financial statements to ensure compliance wilh the reporting requirements of the charity. There are inherent limitations in Ihe audit procedures described above and. the furthei removed non- compliance WFth laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we V￿Uld become aware of it. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one ￿S￿lting from error. as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example. forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.

The remaining £81)0.000 of borrowings was unsecured and was repayable in 156 equal instalments commencing in April 2026. The Trustees believe that Ihey are justified in preparing accounts on a going concern basis as the strategy and financFal plan for the Company means that the Company has a realistic prospecl of generating sustainable profits. generating positive cash flows and repaying its borrowings. In reaching this conclusion the Trustees have taken into account the following points: The unaudited budget for the year ending 31 August 2025 shows an operating profit of £118,501 and a surplus after finance costs of £80,908. This budget reflects the positive impact of the actions taken to generate income. including price increases, the extension of term lengths, the increase in dass sizes and the leasing of the cafe. The monthly cash flows for the year ending 31 August 2025 indicate that the Company will be able to maintaln adequate cash reserves to be able to me8t operatlng liabilities as and when they fall due over that period. The Company is currently funded with two 15 year loan facilitles. The Company holds title to freehold property which has been valued at £2.76 million, providing sufficient security for current and future borrowings. Based on the above position the Trustees are satisfied that the Company has adequate resources to enable Ihe Company to meet its commitrnents as they fall due and therefore the financial ststements have been prepared on a going con￿rn basis.
