Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- HaysMac LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“We draw your attention to Note 2.3_in the financial statements, which indicates the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties that lead to a significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Thus, the Directors have continued to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Over the past 12 months, UKA has delivered a significant financial and strategic turnaround, moving from a period of sustained losses to generating a surplus for the first time in several years.”
- “Athletic Ventures LLP, a joint venture between UK Athletics (UKA), London Marathon Events (LME), and The Great Run Company (GRC), has made significant strides in revitalising British athletics through strategic partnerships and event innovations.”
- “In June 2025, a post-year-end deal was secured with Novuna, one of the UK's leading financial services brands, to become Title Partner of Athletic Ventures flagship events and the Great Britain & Northern Ireland athletics team.”
- “In May 2025, UKA agreed a post-year-end strategic investment in Power of 10, the UK's leading athletics results and data website.”
