S. W. Durham Training Limited

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 July 2022

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Charitable objectives

It is the objective of S W Durham Training Limited to provide a high quality training service and promote a lifetime of learning culture to meet the ongoing needs of individuals and the business community, to maximise potential, to secure jobs and create wealth for the region.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

The charitable company continues to develop and deliver full time training for young people and adults in the engineering sector, apprentice frameworks and bespoke/commercial training programmes to local and regional organisations, providing lifelong learning opportunities within manufacturing, engineering and commercial sectors.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Personnel

The average number of employees throughout the period 2021/22 was 18 (2020/21: 19).

Reserves policy

The Council of Management consider the charitable company requires reserves to:

In order to be prepared for these eventualities target reserves equating to 6 months of cash expenditure, excluding Group recharges, are deemed appropriate; £500k. The Reserves Policy will be reviewed and approved annually by the Council.

The Council has reviewed the level of free reserves held, which currently stand at £846,767 (2021: £872,415), and considers this is adequate to ensure the continued operation of the charitable company. South West Durham Training is forecast to return to a surplus position in the current year 22/23 and through 23/24 continuing to grow reserves.

Monthly management accounts are prepared to enable the Council to monitor the level of reserves on a timely basis.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 July 2022

FINANCIAL REVIEW Going concern

It is considered appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements, on the basis that the company has the ability to continue to operate for a significantly longer period than the statutory twelve months from the date of approval.

The 2021/22 financial statements see the company remain in a loss position where the budget prepared in May-2021 projected a £45k surplus. A cautious approach has been taken to the preparation of the 2022/23 financial plan showing reduction in income streams that may be affected by the cost of living crisis, particularly 16-19 programme funding and commercial income. The value of 'carry in' funding (funding for apprentices already in learning) for the company is calculated at £664k. A cautious approach has been taken to predicting the number of new apprenticeship enrolments in 2022/23, taking into account the current employer base that the SWDT work with. To date SWDT has already reached the 2022/23 budget providing all learners remain on program. There has been careful planning of staffing with a change in the management structure and additional investment in staffing and non pay budget. The 2021/22 final outturn position shows SWDT to be in a deficit position, work will continue to reduce the deficit position and bring the organisation back to a break even or surplus position for the year 2022/23.

Detailed cash flow forecasts have been prepared which show that SWDT is expected to have a positive cash position for at least 24 months from the date of signing these financial statements

Financial Year

The company finished the year in a deficit position; this was a decline against the approved budget.

The Council of Management are proposing for approval at the annual general meeting that the fee structure for the training period commencing 1 August 2022 be as follows:

(a) that a company sending a learner to the centre and having that learner with S W Durham Training Limited will, providing the learner is eligible for full funding, not be charged whilst full funding is still available for that learner and they are aged 16-18 at the start of their framework. If the learner is not eligible for full funding, the sponsoring company will pay the difference between full funding and that received;

(b) that companies will pay fees for their learner to attend work based learning and further education subsequent to completion of apprenticeships framework.

COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT

No fees have been paid to any Member of the Council of Management nor does any such member have any beneficial interest

Governing document

S W Durham Training Limited is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated in the United Kingdom and a registered charity. The charitable company is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended at the extraordinary general meeting of 17 October 2014.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Recruitment and appointment of new council members

Council members, who are also trustees and directors of the charitable company, can appoint any nominated member to act until the next Annual General Meeting at which time they are eligible for re-election.

Organisational structure

The council members can meet as many times as they see fit, but generally they meet every three months. Decisions will be made by a majority vote with the Chairperson having the casting vote. Day to day management of the charitable company is delegated to the General Manager. The Chief Executive resigned on the 31[st] July 21 and a temporary structure was in place with the then operations manager taking some additional responsibilities whiles reporting to the Bishop Auckland College Principal. The structure was further enhanced by seconding the head of apprenticeship and business Services to S.W. Durham Training to support the operations manager is improving quality of apprenticeship provision. A recruitment process for a general manager with an engineering background was unsuccessful. The board chose to reflect on the existing temporary structure and agreed that this was a stung structure that could remain in place for a further 12 months after which point the board would review. The current senior structure includes the general manager who reports to the Bishop Auckland College Principal and the operations manager who report to the general manager.

Induction and training of new council members

New council members are briefed on their legal obligations under charity and company law, the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the committee and decision making processes, recent financial performance and future plans. They are introduced to key employees and other council members. Council members are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role.

Key management remuneration

Details of key management remuneration, which is set by the council having regard to the recommendations of the remuneration committee of the parent Bishop Auckland College, are set out in note 8 to the financial statements.

Investment powers

The council members may invest any monies in any manner authorised by law for the investment of such funds.

Restrictions imposed

No paid employee or person in receipt of fees or any other remuneration from the charitable company may be a council member. However, any council member engaged by the charitable company in any profession will be entitled to be paid for any work done for the charitable company.

Public benefit

The charitable company's aims and achievements are set out within this report. The activities set out in this report have been undertaken to further the charitable company's charitable purposes for the public benefit. The council members have complied with the duty under Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission and the trustees have paid due regard to this guidance in deciding what activities the Trust should undertake.

The charitable company's activities in providing training for young people benefit the learners themselves as well as employers and the wider community, providing opportunities to learners and contributing to the creation of jobs and wealth for the North East.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

On behalf of the Council of Management, may I take this opportunity to thank all members of staff of S W Durham Training Limited for their continued support and dedication to the success of the charitable company. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all our Member Companies for their high level of support during the year. This has been a challenging year for S W Durham Training dealing with the lasting impact of the global pandemic and cost of living crisis; despite the challenges we have seen apprenticeship numbers continue to grow.

Apprenticeship numbers are very encouraging and are bucking the current trend seen across other parts of the country. New and existing employers are increasing their investment in training and have selected SWDT as their provider of choice. 16-19 Study Programmes have declined and this is again is the impact of the cost of living crisis where many young learner are choosing to get paid work rather than stay in full time education.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of S. W. Durham Training Limited

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF S. W. DURHAM TRAINING LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of S. W. Durham Training Limited (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 July 2022 which comprise the Statement of financial activities, the Balance sheet, the Statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. 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).

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 Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 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 charitable company'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 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 Annual report other than the financial statements and our Auditor's report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual report. 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. 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 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 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 fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF S. W. DURHAM TRAINING LIMITED (Continued)

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' report including the Strategic report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

9 | P a g e

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF S. W. DURHAM TRAINING LIMITED (Continued)

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees' responsibilities statement, the Trustees on page 21 (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 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 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 to do so.

10 | P a g e

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF S. W. DURHAM TRAINING LIMITED (Continued)

Auditor's 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 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:

• We obtained an understanding of laws and regulations that affect the company, focusing on those that had a direct effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on its operations. Key laws and regulations that we identified included the UK Companies Act, tax legislation and occupational health and employment legislation.

• We enquired of the directors, reviewed correspondence with HMRC and reviewed directors meeting minutes for evidence of non compliance with relevant laws and regulations. We also reviewed controls the directors have in place to ensure compliance.

• We gained an understanding of the controls that the directors have in place to prevent and detect fraud. We enquired of the directors about any incidences of fraud that had taken place during the accounting period.

• The risk of fraud and non compliance with laws and regulations and fraud was discussed within the audit team and tests were planned and performed to address these risks. We identified the potential for fraud in the following areas: revenue recognition and management override of controls.

• We reviewed financial statements disclosures and tested to supporting documentation to assess compliance with relevant laws and regulations discussed above.

• We enquired of the directors and third party advisors about actual and potential litigation and claims.

• We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that might indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.

• In addressing the risk of fraud due to management override of internal controls we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates were indicative of a potential bias.

Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, internal omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing fraud or non compliance with laws and regulations and cannot be expected to detect all fraud and non compliance with laws and regulations.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditor's report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF S. W. DURHAM TRAINING LIMITED (Continued)

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 charitable company'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 charitable company and its members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

S. W. Durham Training Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 July 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

The charitable company has availed itself of Paragraph 3(3) of Schedule 4 of the Companies Act and adapted the Companies Act formats to reflect the special nature of the charitable company's activities.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling (£).

Going Concern

The financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that the charitable company will continue to operate. If the company is unable to continue to operate, adjustments would be required to reduce the value of assets to their recoverable amounts, to provide for any further liabilities that might arise and to analyse both fixed assets and long term liabilities as current assets and liabilities.

The charity had total funds of £2,926,454 as at 31 July 2022 (decrease of £108,977 from 31 July 2021). Budgets and cash flow forecasts have been updated to factor in the expected reduction in income and a worst case scenario has been used to confirm that the charity has sufficient cash for the organisation to continue for at least 12 months from the date these financial statements are signed. At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions

The charitable company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Foreign currencies

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a funded group pension plan arrangement, whereby it makes contributions directly to each individual employees' pension plan. Contributions paid are included in the period to which they relate.

Irrecoverable vat

The charity was partially exempt for VAT purposes for the period ended 31 July 2022. Irrecoverable VAT has been included in the Statement of Financial Activities during the period within support costs.

Investments

Listed investments are included in the financial statements at market value at the balance sheet date.

Financial Instruments

The charitable company has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:

The charitable company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Critical areas of judgement

Depreciation - Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its residual value, over the economic life of that asset. An estimate of the useful life of assets is detailed in the depreciation policy.
