- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 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.”
Significant events
- “This year saw the change of validating partner from the University of Chichester (UoC) to the Arts University Bournemouth (AUB) which has already brought benefits for both students and the institution as a whole.”
- “Final preparation for the launch of our new Audio Post-Production MA have been made and everything is on course for a successful launch in September into what is a new subject area for us.”
- “The biggest release of the year was a collaborative course with leading sample instrument developer Spitfire Audio. The course "Mastering Orchestral Composition with BBC SO" was sold jointly by TSE and Spitfire and reached a much wider audience as a consequence.”
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
