appropriate.

Going Concern
The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concem assumption is appropriate
in preparing these financial stalemenls. The Trustees have made this assessment in respect
of a period of one year from the dale of approval of these financial slalements, taking into
consideration the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on its operations and financial position
going forward. In doing so, the Trustees have considered the following..
Latest operational plan for the remainder of the current 2021122 academic year in
response lo ongoing government guidants.,
Evidence from the impact of lockdowns experienced in 2020121 and measures in plaee
to mitigate these, along with the performance record of re-opening the Art School
facilities and operating a blended leaehing offer during the September lo December 2021
period.,
Revised budget and financial forecast for the financial year 2021122 along with the
development of a new Strategic Plan for the pericxy 2022-2027
Since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Art School management's foremost priority
has been to adapt ils learning offer to meet government guidelines while safeguarding the
quality of the sludenl experience and ensuring student progression. This was achieved
successfully during the 2020121 academic session through an extension ol the academic year
to make up for the lockdown periods in terms of practical work and studio lime and resulted
in all students eompleling their year suc￿SsfUlly. 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 suc￿Ssful 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.

Trustees, report Year lo 31 August 2021
Golng Concern Icontinuedl
In order lo provide additional working capital support if needed, the Art School took advantage
of the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme to secure a CBIL loan of £250,000,
repayable over a period of 6 years from financial year 2021122. At the year-end £222,222 of
the Art School's £924.255 cash holdings derived from the CBIL loan.
The Art School held negatNe free rese￿eS of £169,484 as al 31 August 2021 12020
negative free reserves of £184,327). The Board intends to achieve, as eireumstsnces permit,
suitable level of free reserves in order lo provide liquidity to meet any future temporary
shortfalls in income and to provide adequate working capital. The Art School now holds
expendable endowments tolalling £966.851 12020.. £907,859} These expendable
endowments are available to provide additional financial support and liquidity lo the Art
School.
In light of the above, the Trustees have concluded that there are no material uncertaintie5
related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubl on the ability of the Art School
to continue as a going concern.

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 prO￿dureS
are eapable of delecling ifregul8rilies, including fraud, is detailed below.

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.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial slalemenls is located
on the Financial Reporting Council's website at W￿.frC.Org.UklSuditorSrespDns1b1lltle$. This
description fomis 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 accordan¢e
with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken
so that we might slate to the charitable company's members those matters we are required
to stale lo them in an audiloff s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted
by law, we do not ac￿pt or assume responsibility lo 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.
