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).

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
For The Year Ended 31 July 2021
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Derwent Training Association (Derwent Training) maintained the Matrix quality standard as well as maintaining direct claim status from the awarding organisations, EAL & Pearson. Derwent Training subcontract from Craven College who received 'good' in their last Ofsted inspection as well as from Maritime and Engineering College who also received 'good' in their last Ofsted inspection.
New enrolments in 2020-21 were 93% of the set target. Eighty-five employers placed apprentices with Derwent Training. Commercial courses were also delivered.
The timely achievement rate in 2020-21 was 79% at Level 3 and 91% at Level 2, both well above the National Average. The timely achievement rates compare favourably against the performance of other private sector public funded providers (61.3%) and General Further Education Colleges (60%) in Yorkshire and Humberside.
Derwent Training provides information, advice and guidance to employers and their employees on the best route forward in terms of training. There is a delicate balance to be had in being honest with employers about what Derwent Training can deliver in a set timeframe and signposting employers to other providers for aspects outside of the scope of Derwent Training. Integrity remains important in working with employers.
Derwent Training continues to review the staffing levels and skills needed to deliver the prescribed programmes. New staff have joined the company whilst others have taken up new opportunities elsewhere.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources
Income is generated through a direct contract with the Education and Skills Funding Agency and subcontracting arrangements with Craven College and Maritime and Engineering College. A Bounce Bank Loan was obtained in October 2020 and held within the Reserves account.
Reserves policy
Trustees have examined the charity's requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. Reserves can cover possible emergency repairs to the centre and other expenditure including salaries. The Charity's financial working capital consists of core business funded activity and other funds through projects which vary year on year. Trustees report the level of reserves (that is those funds that are freely available).
Reserves bridge any gaps between spending on training and money received through full cost courses and grants that provide funding. Short term reserves would be needed to meet the working capital requirements of the charity; approximately £175,000 would cover three months salaries and general running costs. The Trustees have taken steps to maintain monies and reserves exist that safeguard the organisation.
Going concern
The company is repaying a loan taken out in December 2018. There was no repayment required of the Bounce Bank Loan during the period of this report. Creditors are paid and debtors pay the company. The management of cash flow is good because processes are tightly managed. The Trustees are building up reserves in line with the principles above. As a result of this the Trustees are of the opinion that the charity is a going concern.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
For The Year Ended 31 July 2021
FUTURE PLANS
The regional environment:
The York, North Yorkshire, East Riding and Hull Area Review (2017) identified that the lack of large employers within the region is a challenge and there is limited take up of apprenticeships by micro-business. Indeed, new apprenticeship starts nationally had decreased pre-pandemic and did not pick up as the pandemic continued. Some providers may struggle to provide a viable offer therefore it is essential to ensure that apprenticeship delivery structures are financially sustainable and allow progression to and from traditional full-time technical and vocational curriculum and higher education. The lack of higher level apprenticeships standards in the Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) priority areas, such as engineering, remains a significant challenge to developing the local economy. Derwent Training is resolved to supporting the development of higher level skills either alone or in partnership with other institutions. It will also work to embed Low Carbon skills and knowledge with its delivery where applicable.
The North Yorkshire County Council Plan 2020-2024 identifies as a priority the need for increasing skill levels and ensuring that the workforce meets the needs of North Yorkshire, ensuring that that there is a clear pathway for young people from education to training and employment, and other actions to support the development of a workforce that meets the social and economic needs of the county. Additionally, the LEP states that there is a clear link between investment in higher level skills and a business' competitive advantage. Businesses need to train their staff to keep pace with technology and ensure increased productivity.
Strategic plan:
The Trustees believe Derwent Training is positioned to address the challenges identified regionally and create opportunities through working in partnership with other providers and employers.
Derwent Training will work towards securing continued funding for apprenticeship delivery through existing contractor and new partnership arrangements. The increased funding available for delivering the Apprenticeship Standards means that income per apprentice has increased in comparison to delivering Frameworks.
The charity recognises the impact of the limited agreed trade deals following the withdrawal from the European Union on employers in the sector and the region, with many still holding off in recruiting new employees. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a further contraction in recruitment for some employers.
The charity has identified the leadership and management curriculum as a new area for development and delivery and is working towards recruiting to it.
Consequently, the charity has set a realistic budget with tight management maintained around expenditure that is focused on supporting learner achievement within truthful income figures. Derwent Training continues to enrol all year round rather than just in September to support employers' growth plans as they occur.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
Derwent Training Association is a company limited by guarantee and not having share capital. It is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 27 May 1988 (amended February 2015). It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission. The number of members which the company proposes to be registered is unlimited.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
As set out in the Articles of Association, the chair of the Trustees is nominated by the members of the charitable company. At the Annual General Meeting, one third or nearest number to one third shall retire from office. Directors who have been longest in office since their last election shall retire.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For The Year Ended 31 July 2021
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Organisational structure
The Board of Trustees, which usually has from 6 up to no more than 10 members, oversees the strategic business planning. A Chief Executive Officer is appointed by the Trustees to manage the day to day operations of the charity. To facilitate effective operations, the Chief Executive Officer has delegated authority, within terms of delegation approved by the Trustees, for operational matters including finance, employment and other related activities.
Induction and training of new trustees
New Trustees are invited to a Board meeting and given a copy of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, Self-Assessment Report and ESFA contract performance figures and a copy of the latest budget figures. All Trustees must complete statutory training on Safeguarding and Prevent Duty.
Key management remuneration
The Trustees consider that the Board along with the senior leadership team comprise the key management personnel of the charity and are in charge of directing, controlling and operating the Trust on a day to day basis. All the Trustees give their time freely and none are remunerated. Details of expenses reimbursed during the year are shown in the notes to the accounts.
The pay of senior staff is reviewed annually and normally increased in accordance with average earnings. In view of the nature of the charity, the Trustees benchmark against pay levels in other similar organisations in the North of England to ensure that the remuneration is fair and not out of line with that generally paid for similar roles.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also the directors of Derwent Training Association for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
AUDITORS
The auditors, Fortus Audit LLP, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
Approved by order of the board of trustees on .....April 2022 and signed on its behalf by:

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF DERWENT TRAINING ASSOCIATION
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Derwent Training Association (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 July 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, 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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
-
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 July 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
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 Auditors' 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 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 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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. 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.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 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.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Page 6
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF DERWENT TRAINING ASSOCIATION
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the 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 Report of the Trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (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.
Page 7
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF DERWENT TRAINING ASSOCIATION
Our 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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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 the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the company and determined that the most significant frameworks which are directly relevant to specific assertions in the financial statements are those that relate to the reporting framework (UK GAAP and the Companies Act 2006) and the relevant tax compliance regulations in the UK.
We understood how the company is complying with those frameworks by making enquiries of management and those responsible for legal and compliance procedures. We corroborated our enquiries through review of board minutes and discussions with those charged with governance.
We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur, by discussion with management from various parts of the business to understand where they considered there was a susceptibility to fraud. We considered the procedures and controls that the company has established to prevent and detect fraud, and how these are monitored by management, and also any enhanced risk factors such as performance targets.
Based on our understanding, we designed our audit procedures to identify any non-compliance with laws and regulations identified in the paragraphs above.
We also performed audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias.
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/auditors responsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.
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 auditors' 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 the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
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 cost 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
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities and are made up of auditors remuneration for audit and non-audit services These costs have been allocated to expenditure on charitable activities.
Tangible fixed assets

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
The trustees have considered the impact of COVID-19 in relation to their assessment of going concern and in their opinion have taken all reasonable steps to mitigate these factors. As at the point of authorising the accounts, and for the foreseeable future, the directors consider the going concern assumption to still be appropriate. The trustees acknowledge that given the currently rapidly changing business and social environment, there are likely to be significant unknown factors which may present themselves. Such factors are considered by the trustees to represent a general inherent level of risk in relation to the going concern assumption albeit not quantifiable at this time.
Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising are recognised in the profit and loss account.
