Affirmed

“The Trustees have assessed the Group and Parent Charity's financial position, including the impact of the planned reduction in cash and investment balances arising from the investment in the new systems (Project Vigour). Forecasts and cash flow projections have been prepared on a prudent basis for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. It is recognised that the Group holds net current liabilities of £1,056k (2024 - £437k). The Trustees are comfortable with this position as surplus cash above normal operating levels is immediately invested into fixed asset investments. If additional operating cash is required to pay for liabilities, investments can be drawn down quickly due to the liquid nature of the portfolio. The Trustees have identified key factors that may influence the organisation's financial position in the future, including fluctuations in investment values, changes in liabilities, and the ongoing deficit in the final salary pension scheme. These risks are mitigated by RoSPA holding no external debt, maintaining a diversified long-term investment portfolio, and owning a long leasehold (110 year remaining) on its headquarters on Calthorpe Road. Although training revenue declined during the year, the Trustees expect this to be offset over time by the continued growth in qualifications income in both the UK and overseas markets. The above factors demonstrate that the Group and Parent Charity have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due and to operate within available reserves. Accordingly, the Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties that cast significant doubt on the Group or Parent Charity's ability to continue as a going concern, and the financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis.”
