- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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.”
Significant events
- “The Charity has successfully merged its Masonic grant-making activities under the MCF, resulting in a single point of contact and support for all those within the Masonic community seeking help with health and care needs.”
- “From 1 April 2016 RMTGB activities were carried out by the MCF. Through the MCF 1,515 grants were awarded to 920 beneficiaries in the current year with a total value of £4.18 M after write back from prior years.”
- “For the furtherance of the charities' purpose for the public benefit, 151 grants totalling £4.31 M were awarded to non-Masonic causes by the MCF on behalf of the RMTGB.”
- “The fall in world stock markets over the last couple of months in the year resulted in a small investment loss of £0.05 M, compared to a £12.03 M surplus in the prior year.”
- “Ongoing vacancies within the property portfolio led to an £1.34 M reduction in property valuations.”
- “Investment income of £4.82 M was 17% higher than prior year, due to increased rental income following completion of the conversion of the six new flats at Ruspini House that were let from 1st February 2024”
