Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The Board considers that the use of the going concern basis is appropriate because, at the date of approval of the financial statements, it is not aware of any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that might cast significant doubt as at the date of approval of the financial statements about the ability of the University to continue as a going concern.”
