Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Auditor
- Crowe UK LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The trustees are required to consider whether it is appropriate for Afghanaid's accounts to be prepared on a 'going concern' basis. These accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis, the assumption underpinning this being that Afghanaid will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and has neither the intention nor need to significantly curtail the scale of its operations.”
Significant events
- “Nearly three million Afghans were forced to return from neighbouring countries, placing additional pressure on already stretched communities and services. ... a devastating earthquake that affected tens of thousands of people compounded the hardships facing families across the country.”
- “On 31 August 2025, a magnitude 6.2 earthquake struck Kunar Province, followed by two significant aftershocks and hundreds of smaller ones over the next two weeks. The earthquake had a devastating impact on local communities, with more than 8,000 homes destroyed or severely damaged, leaving families without shelter, food, or clean water.”
- “In 2025, the country witnessed both growing cross-border conflict with Pakistan and the forced return of 2.9 million refugees, mostly from Pakistan and Iran.”
