- 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 over 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 charitable company has been legally gifted 10% of an estate, the sum of which is dependant on the sale of property and is likely to be in the region of £64,000. An amount of £40,000 of this was received during 2025. The inflow of further economic benefits has been considered as probable, however, the expected receipt date of the legacy is unknown.”
- “The charitable company has further been gifted a bequest of circa £200k, £180k of which was received in October 2022. The residual inflow of economic benefits (circa £20k) from the bequest has been considered as probable, however, the expected receipt date of the remaining legacy is unknown.”
- “Subsequent to the year end the trustees made the decision to sell the investment property which has been professionally valued and marketed at £400,000. The sale is expected to complete on 14 August 2026 at the asking price. The trustees do not consider this non-adjusting event to have a material impact on the charity's financial position at the reporting date.”
