Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Reporting scope

- Auditor
- Bishop Fleming LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making appropriate enquiries, the Board of Trustees has a reasonable expectation that the Academy has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The Academy has been able to reduce the risk associated with the old heating system through repairs and upgrades. An independent company was appointed to review RAAC, which is not present at The Chase School.”
- “Data and information security risk is being monitored through risk register; independent GDPR audit completed and systems updated for latest protections; independent assessment of cyber threats resulted in action plan.”
- “Continued pressures on the budget, specifically increases to employment costs, means that budgets will be increasingly tight in coming years. Unless the national and local funding position improves there is a risk that the majority of reserves could be fully utilised within three years.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
