Interruption of studies remained at very low levels, not increasing from prior years. The measures put in place to re-open the Art School facilities for the academic year 2021122 with full workshop and studio access and a blended leaming offer resulted in a sucSsful first lemi and no cases of pandemic-relaled interruption of studies. At the point of writing, the recruitment outlook for the 2022123 academic year is stable based on the level of interest and number of applications received. therefore suggesting that the target of securing a full intske should be achieved, supporting an increase in fee income in 2022123. As an independent organisation in the HE sector, the Art School was not eligible for any cultural sector government funds and was only able to draw on the Furlough Scheme in 8 limited way during the periods of lockdown. In order lo miligale the financial challenges created by the Covid-19 pandemic and following a successful appeal addressed at Its existing donor base of supporters, continued operational support remain5 the primary focus of fundraising activity for the current year.

Independent auditor's report Year to 31 August 2021 Conclusions relating to going concern In auditing the financial statements, we h8ve 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 idenlffjied any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively. may cast significant doubl on the charitable company's ability lo continue as a going concern for a period of at least e1ve months from when the financial slalements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities ol the trustees with respect to going concem are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other Information and, except lo the exlenl otherwise explicitly staled in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion Ihereon. In eonnection with our audit of the financial slatemenls, our responsibility is lo read the other information and, in doing $0, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent W1th the financial ststements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears lo be materially misstsled. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a materi81 misslatemenl 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 misstalemenl of this other information, we are qUired lo report that fact. We have nothing to reF)Ort in this regard. Opinions on other matters prescrlbed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion. based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit.. • the information given in the twslees, report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements., and + the trustees, report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Independent auditor's report Yearto 31 August 2021 Matters on which we are required to report by exception Iconlinuedl 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 tru51ees' 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 ststements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantsge of the small companies, exemptions in preparing the trustees, report and from the qUirement lo prepare a strategic report. Responglbllitles of trustees As explained more fully in the trustees, responsibilities statement, the Iruslees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give 8 true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Iruslees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial slalemenls that are free from material misststemenl. whether due lo fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible forassessing the 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 lo do so. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial ststemenls as a whole are free from material misslalement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an audiloff s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in 8ecordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when il exists. Misslalements 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 tsken on the basis of these financial slalemenl$. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-complian with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilrties, outlined above, to detect materia misstatements in respect of irregularities, ineluding fraud. The extent to which our prOdureS are eapable of delecling ifregul8rilies, including fraud, is detailed below. City and Guilds of London Art S¢hool Limited 29
Independent auditor's report Yearto 31 August 2021 Auditor's responsibilities for the audÈt of the financlal stalements Iconlinuedl Our approach lo Identifying and assessing the risks of material misslalemenl in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows.. the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competen, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations., we obtained an understanding of the leg21 and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the charitable company and determined that the most significant frameworks which are directly relevant lo specifi¢ assertions in the financial statements are those that relate to the reporting framework Islatemenl of Recommended Practice.. Accounting and Reporting by Charities prepanng their accounts in accordance with the Finanaal Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 and the Charities Act 20111, Companies Act 2006, those that relate lo data prolecb'on (General Data Protection Regulalionl. certain conditions of Ofs registration including compliance with the Ofs, latest Accounts Direction,. and identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert lo instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. We assessed the susceptibility of the charitable company's financial statements lo material misststemenl, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by.. making enquiries of management as to their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud," and considering the intem81 conlroSs in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we.. perfom)ed analytical procedures lo identify any unusual or unexpected relationships., lesled joumal entries lo identify unusual transa¢lions', assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of ptstenlial bias., used da18 analylics to investigate the rationale behind any significant or unusual transactions., tested authorisation controls on expenditure items, ensuring all expenditure was approved in line with the charitable company's financial procedures,. and performed substantive testing over fee income to 9ain assurance that the income recognised was materially complete. City and Guilds of London Art School Limited 30
Independent auditorfs report Yearto 31 August2021 Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued} In response lo the risk of irregularities and non<omplianee with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to.. agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documenlalion,. reading the minutes of meeb'ngs of those charged with governance,. and enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims. There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely il is that we would become aware of non<ompliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondentr, if any. Material misstatements that arise due lo fraud can be harder lo delect than those that arise from emr as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
