- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Trustees have carefully considered the Institution's ability to continue as a going concern. This assessment included reviewing financial forecasts, projected cash flows and anticipated expenditure, taking into account both operational plans and potential risks. Projections have been prepared using past performance trends, current commitments and reasonable assumptions about future income. Key financial and operational indicators are monitored regularly, allowing the Trustees to respond promptly to any emerging issues. In 2025, the Institution delivered a strong financial performance, sustaining investment to support its ongoing programmes and initiatives. On the basis of this review, the Trustees are satisfied that the Institution has sufficient reserves to meet its obligations as they fall due and to fund its planned activities. Accordingly, they are confident that the group will continue to operate on a going concern basis.”
