London School of Osteopathy For the year ended 31 August 2023
The trustees, who are also directors under company law, present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2023.
The trustees confirm that the financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.
Objectives and activities
Purposes and aims
The London School of Osteopathy is a registered Charity, whose objectives are:
The LSO Charity is primarily active through the osteopathy courses and clinic. The school has a Senior Management Team (SMT) who give effect to the vision of the Board, and manage the day to day affairs.
The LSO currently only provides degree level education in osteopathy. There are four courses:
BSc (hons) Osteopathy full-time or part-time
Most (an undergraduate integrated Masters degree) full-time or part-time.
The courses are validated by Anglia Ruskin University, and accredited by the General Osteopathic Council.
The programme is managed and delivered at the London School of Osteopathy, Bermondsey London SE1, with the teaching clinic at Bethnal Green, London E2.
Clinical education is a fundamental element of the courses. The costs of running the clinic are subsidised by the fees paid by patients. Fees are modest, and concessions are available, in keeping with the charitable aims of the LSO.
Mission:
To be an effective, efficient and supportive learning organisation committed to the generation, provision and development of high quality osteopathic education which meets the needs and requirements of all stakeholders. The LSO will continue to make significant contributions to the health care of its diverse local population.
Public benefit
The outpatient teaching clinic provides low cost and subsidised osteopathic healthcare to the local community. Patients confirm that for many recipients, if the LSO clinic were not present, there would be no provision for musculo-skeletal health needs, particularly those with complex or chronic problems. The clinic runs at a loss, and is subsidised by student fees. This is appropriate as the teaching clinic forms part of their osteopathic training.
The LSO offers four pathways all leading to access to the statutory register for osteopaths (under level. Both full-time and part-time options are available, to give the widest and most flexible choice

options. Many of our students come to osteopathy as 2nd career choices, and balance work and home lives with study. During their studies (and on graduation) students contribute to the health and wellbeing of the local population, both through the teaching clinic, and through research undertaken

With regards the teaching clinic, in past years over 7,000 appointments were delivered to a diverse patient base, ranging from 1 week to over 90 years old, across the socio-economic spectrum. A high proportion of these appointments were at concessionary rates (for example elderly, children, jobseekers). The gradual resumption of services post COVID shutdown has seen a welcome return to on-site activities and the withdrawal of telehealth (although this is still available for the initial case history if a patient prefers this option). Numbers are at about 65% of pre-pandemic levels. The baby clinic was slow to resume, but after some targeted publicity, now has waiting lists.

Financial review
The Charity made a surplus of £239,454 for the year ended 31 August 2023 compared to a surplus of £105,469 in the previous financial year. All of the surplus relates to unrestricted funds except for £1,178 relating to restricted funds. There were no periods of operating at a deficit. Overall, income increased by 10.9% whilst expenditure decreased by 0.12%.
The main income stream is via student fees. These increased by 6.5% to £1,014k due mainly to improved student recruitment and retention. Related grant funding from the Office for Students, determined by grant rates applied to the number of full-time equivalent students following each mode of study, increased by 4.6% to £145k.
Income from the outpatient clinic increased by 21.2% to £135k as a result of increasing capacity and patient bookings. Restricted income from the Hospital Saturday Fund and Mission Practice totalling £572 was received to fund the clinic charges of two patients; of this, £264 was used in the year and £308 is carried forward.
The Charity received an interim legacy payment from an estate of £25k during the year. The timing and amount of the final legacy payment is not yet known. No conditions were attached to the legacy payment and it is therefore unrestricted income. Restricted income of £870 arising from donations has been recognised in these accounts.
The decrease in expenditure of £1k comprises: increased staff costs (£17k) primarily due to pay award inflation, increased student bursary costs (£3k), new costs incurred for digital marketing/social media management (£4k) and increased repairs and renewals costs (£6k) offset by lower depreciation costs (£6k), reduced general expenses (£9k - the previous year having included the settlement of a historic PAYE liability) and an overall credit to the bad debt provision instead of a charge (£16k) following recovery of amounts from prior years which had previously been provided against.
Bank and cash balances increased to £650k from £411k in the previous year. The outstanding balance on the mortgage loan reduced by £61k to £463k.
The Charity offers a government pension scheme administered by Nest pensions; the Charity has no control over the assets of the scheme or how it is administered. The Charity does not hold any investments.
Reserves policy
The reserves policy takes into account the need to: -
-
Deal with short-term volatility of income without having to suddenly cut expenditure. This allows the charity to spend a portion of reserves, subject to a replenishment plan being in place.
-
Provide funding to cover unavoidable charity staff and other costs in the extreme case of closure.
The trustees have assessed that a target range for free reserves of between £140k and £170k is appropriate for these purposes. The reserves policy and target level are reviewed by the trustees on an annual basis, together with any steps necessary to align the actual level with the target over time.
As of 31 August 2023, total reserves stood at £1,318k, of which £1.2k were restricted. Of the total unrestricted reserves, £235k was designated by the trustees for a Building Development fund with £195k being transferred to this fund during the year. Of the remainder, £862k is taken up by fixed assets, leaving £220k as free reserves. The trustees have considered medium term forecasts and assessed that free reserves will fall within the target range within this timeframe.

Going concern
The t to continue its activities. The accounts have therefore been prepared on the basis that the charity is a going concern.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The risk register is kept under review, and any changes considered at Trustee Board meetings. In 2022-23 the critical risks associated with the pandemic have receded, with other aspects largely unchanged. For 2023-24, there are still legacy issues related to the pandemic and BREXIT, not least of which inflation and the cost of living crisis which are impacting both student retention and student recruitment across the sector.
-
Recruitment and retention of students (including the impact of inflation / cost of living)
-
Continued provision of our courses (validation, accreditation, Office for Students) Building / site accessibility and maintenance, and energy costs
-
External policy changes (business rates; data protection; teaching excellence framework)
Risk mitigation principally lies with:
-
Support aimed at staff and student retention (whilst exercising restraint in salary review) Additional emphasis on marketing and recruitment
-
Review of energy efficiency and strategies to enhance sustainability
-
Good communication with internal & external stakeholders to ensure currency of provision.
Plans for the future
A full curriculum review is underway to ensure that provision remains in line with employment needs, and is provided in the most cost effective way possible to students.
Structure, governance and management
The Charity is also a company limited by guarantee, which gives certain advantages and protection to the Board.
According to the Memorandum & Articles of Association, the LSO Charity has a Board of between 2 and 15 Trustees. A Chair is nominated by the Board. At each AGM, 1/3[rd] of the Board stands down in rotation, but may be re-appointed. (See the M&A document for more detail).
The Trustee Board has the responsibility for determining strategy and policy, and then monitoring the delivery and results of the Strategic Plan so created. Occasional meetings may be called to consider the setting of such policy and the Board has the ability to create working groups or subcommittees as required.
The Board usually meets once per quarter on-site at the Grange or by Zoom. At every meeting, the Finance Manager presents the management accounts (the income and expenditure for the last
period & year to date). The autumn meeting agrees the budget for the year; the winter meeting usually considers the audited accounts. The spring meeting coincides with the AGM. Other items on

the standing agenda are monitoring the Strategic Plan and the Risk Register, and a report from the Principal.
New trustees are provided with an induction pack, which includes information from the Charity Commission. This includes the legal and societal expectations of charities and their Boards in detail, but in a very accessible format.
New trustees are selected according to the skill set needed by the Board, and if they have shown a particular interest in osteopathy. There is a mix of lay and professional members.
The LSO Charity is primarily visible through the osteopathy courses and clinic. The school has a Senior Management Team (SMT) who operationalise the vision of the Board, and manage the day to day affairs. The Principal is de facto the Chief Executive Officer. In the last year there have been some changes in personnel, and a shift in role titles away from Director and towards Manager, to more consistently identify the activities and duties require of the posts.

Academic standards are monitored by the validating University, and the External Examining system. Academic and professional standards are monitored by Mott MacDonald on behalf of the General Osteopathic Council. The LSO operates a continuous cycle of quality maintenance and enhancement, utilising feedback from a range of sources and stakeholders.
The detailed course aims and learning outcomes are specified in the Course Specification Forms, which are lodged with the University. They were devised to enable students to meet the requirements set out in the Benchmark Statement (QAA 2019), Osteopathic Practice Standards (GOsC 2018), Graduate Outcomes for Osteopathic Pre-Registration Education & Standards for Education and Training (GOsC 2022) and the Quality Code (QAA). Each module is mapped to the course learning outcomes, ensuring that the curriculum matches the course aims. The learning outcomes and content of each module are enshrined in the Module Definition Forms (housed electronically within the University), and are communicated to students annually via more detailed Module Guides.

Statement of responsibilities of the trustees
The trustees (who are also directors of a charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The total number of such guarantees at 31 August 2023 was 6.
The trustees are members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR ʼS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE LONDON SCHOOL OF OSTEOPATHY
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The London School Of Osteopathy (the ‘Charity’) for the year ended 31 August 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, statement of cash flows and the related notes. 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).
Opinion on financial statements
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 August 2023 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 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 Auditorʼs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRCʼs 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 charity'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 directors 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 auditorʼs 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.
9
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR ʼS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE LONDON SCHOOL OF OSTEOPATHY
Opinion on other matter 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 (incorporating the directors’ report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the trustees’ report (incorporating the directors’ report) has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where 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 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.
Responsibilities of the trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement, 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 they 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 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.
Our 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 auditorʼs 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 are set out below.
10
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR ʼS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE LONDON SCHOOL OF OSTEOPATHY
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:
-
We enquired of management, which included obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the charity's policies and procedures relating to:
-
identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
-
Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud;
-
The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.
-
We inspected the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
-
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charity operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a material effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations of the charity from our professional and sector experience.
-
We reviewed the financial statement disclosures and tested these to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
-
We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
-
In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias and tested significant transactions that are unusual or those outside the normal course of business.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Councilʼs website at: [www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities]. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
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 charity’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 charity and the charity’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
