- 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 Group's or the parent 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.”

- “The sale of Scotsbridge House has now gone through and the interest generated from the proceeds of the sale is being used to upgrade the IT systems which is urgently required.”
- “The Government's autumn budget has resulted in significant additional employment costs of circa £120k.”
- “The major change in 2024 being the introduction of XIO eartags in Northern Ireland.”
- “2024 was the first full year of the genomic evaluation service fees AHDB introduced and which we collect on their behalf.”
- “The CIS average herd size grew to 224.”
- “The European Holstein and Red Holstein Confederation (EHRC) Judging School was hosted in Northern Ireland in November.”
- “The submissions for the 2024 Lifetime Achievement Award were once again so strong that the Board of Trustees could not decide on just one!”
