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
Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Board has reviewed the organisation's financial position and forecasts, taking professional advice where appropriate. Following the operational restructuring completed during the year, the improvement of financial controls, and the receipt of additional funding in 25/26, the Directors are satisfied that the Social Enterprise Academy has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Scottish Government has confirmed its ongoing commitment to funding and to the Academy's role as a strategic partner within Scotland's social enterprise ecosystem. Accordingly, the Board considers that the going concern basis of preparation remains appropriate.”

Significant events
- “In October 2025, loan agreements with two Directors and the Chief Executive, totaling £150,000, were cancelled and replaced with an arrangement under which these funds have been recognised as income. Repayment will only arise if specific future financial conditions are met which are well in excess of the Trustees' targeted reserves position.”
