- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Trustees have taken note of the guidance issued by the Financial Reporting Council on Going Concern Assessments in determining that this is the appropriate basis of preparation of the financial statements and have considered a number of factors. As noted above, operating deficits are expected to continue for some time but the Trustees are confident that the Balance Sheet remains strong and is sufficient to absorb deficits that may arise over the near term. This will be done by carefully managing expenditure; the appropriate utilisation of both unrestricted and restricted reserves (e.g. Pastoral Fund and Stipends Fund); the time-limited sale of surplus property; and the utilisation of time-limited funding from the National Church. As a consequence, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.”
Significant events

- “Developed planned maintenance schedules in response to the Stock Condition Survey.”
- “Commenced a rolling three-year programme of Parish Share engagement, improving the consistency of communication, support and follow-up with parishes.”
