REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF
THE BRITISH SPORTING ART TRUST
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The British SportingArt Trust {the'charity') for the year
ended 31 March 2024 on pages ten to twenty-two. 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 GenerallyAccepted Accounting Practicej.
In our opinion the financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of its
incoming resources and application of resources for the period then ended..
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom GenerallyAccepted
Accounting Practice: and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing [UK) (ISAS (UKJJ
and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors
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 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 its sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relatlng 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 cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to
continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date 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 other information comprises the information included in the trustees, annual report2 other than
the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other
information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do
not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, considerwhether the other
information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the
course of 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 this gives
Page 6

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF
THE BRITISH SPORTING ART TRUST
rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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 facL
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities
(Accounts and Reports) Regulation 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion..
the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material
respect with the financial statements- or
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns:
or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees Responsibilities set out on page five, the
trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which 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 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.
Auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in
accordance with the regulations made under section 154 of thatAct.
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.
Page 7

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF
THE BRITISH SPORTING ART TRUST
We assessed and concluded that the charities key area was in relation to heritage asset valuation,
with a updated professional valuation being undertaken this year.
Because of the inherent limitations olan 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. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed
from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to
become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities
occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery.
collusion, omission or misrepresentation
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 charity'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 charity's ability to continue as a
going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
attention in our auditorfs 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 ofour auditor's report. However. future events or
conditions may cause the charity 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 underlyingtransactions
and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation (ie. gives a true and fairview).
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.
