compliint across the board. Inspectors made reference to the process of "transformative Change" that they
observed throughout the school. as well a5 the Strength of the school community and the breadth and itnpatt of
cTr¢urrfcular programmes.
2023124 was also a very strong year academically. with an extepfjonal Upper Sixth cohort achiewngfirst-rate A

suc￿$$fUl cultural. sporting and artistic events, includln8 a sold-out production of 'Little Shop oAHorrots'.
Strategically. 2023124 saw a significant chanEe in the tlirection of the College. wlth the decision by Governors to
phase out boarding prowsion over the nextlwo years. Noting the weakness of the boarding market post-COVID,

c105e the chapter on this aspect of rts hlstory and focus its efforts and resources on being a great day school in

facilitie5 forthe 5thool as a whole.
To this end, the ColleEe comrni$5ioned a firm of architects to draw up a new Campus Masterplan, laying out a

Audlt response to risks identified..
We considered the extent of compliarKe with these laws and regulations os part of our audlt procedures on the
related financial statement iterns including a re￿e￿ of financial staternent disclosures. We revSewed the parent
charit¢s records of breaches of laws and re8ulatlons, minutes of meetings and correspondence with relevant
uthorities to Identify potential material misstatements arising. We discussed the parent charit15 policies and
procedure5 for compliance with liws Ind regulations with mernbers of man38ement responsible f0rcomp51an￿.
Durlng the planning rneeting with the audit tezrn, the enEogetnent partner drew attention to the key areas whSch
might involve n￿-Cot￿P1Iènte with laws and regulations or fraud. We enquired of management whether they were
aware of any instan￿$ of non-compliance with laws and regulotion5 or knowledge of any actual, 5U5pected or
alle8ed fraud. We addressed the risk of fraud through managernent override of contro15 by tÈsting the
appropriatene55 of journal entries and identifying any slgn1ficant transactions that were unusual or outside the
norr￿1 course of business. We asse55ed whether judgements made in making accounting estTmates gave rise to a
possible indication of managerneDt bias. At the completion Stage of the audit. the en8a8ement P3rtner'5 review
included ensuring that the tÈam had approathed their work with appropriate professional 5cepti¢ism and thus the
capacity to identify non-compliance with law5 dnd re8ulations and fraud.
Thwe are inhe￿flt Ilmltatlons in the audit procedures descrlbed above and the further removed noTrcornplian
with laws and regulatlons is from theÈvents and transactions reflected in thefinancial statements, the less likely we
would become aware of it. Also. the T15k of not detecting a material rnisstatement due to fraud is higher than the
risk of not detecting one resulting from error. as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example. forgery
or intentional misrepresentations. orthrough collu510n.

projetted costs in making this assessment.
The financial performance of the College Is reviewed every ham term, ènd the cash flow is re￿eWed termly. by the
Finance and General Purpose Committee. This level of strutlny and the prudence built into the forecasts mlnlmlses
the risk5 relatinglo the cash flow forecasts.
