These accounts tell a story of a year that was incredibly difficult for the organisalion, bul though which the team continued lo deliver effectively across all fronts. To have emerged from this period in robust financial health is a leslamenl lo the colledive efforts that made this happen. In 2021122 BAC'S story is of delivery in the most demanding of environments. Artistically we began the year with ambitious digital seasons of work that supported artists, and then reopened our building with a massive immersive dance piece We Are As Gods that drew large audiences lo our spaces. Our programme continued lo show diversity. variety and ambition, and we continued lo bring international work lo our stages (like Germany's Rimini Prolokolll despite the logisli¢al ¢hallenges.

Independent auditor's report Year lo 31 March 2022 Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Iconlinuedl We assessed the sus¢eplibilily of the group's financial sialemenls lo material misslalement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might o¢¢ur, by.. making enquiries of managemènt and those charged with governance as lo where they considered there was susceplibilily lo fraud, their knowledge of a¢lual, suspeded and alleged fraud., and considering the inlemal controls in place lo 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.. • performed analytical prccedures lo entIfy any unusual or unexpected relationships., • lesled journal entries lo identify unusual Iransadions., • lesled the aulhorisalion of expendire as part of our subslanlive testing Ihereon.. assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the a¢counling estimates sel out in the accounting policies were indicative of potential bias,. and ijsed data analylics to idenlfy any significant or unusual transactions and identify the rationale for them.

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above.

Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required lo identify non-complian with laws and regulations lo enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspe¢lion of regulatory and legal correspondence. if any. Material misslalemenls that arise due lo fraud can be harder lo delecl than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
