- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group's or the parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “The Alliance conducted original, in-depth research on the benefits of a more active nation and launched the #TakeTheLead campaign with members and partners to push for sector priorities.”
- “The Alliance and members of the Movement and Dance Division launched Let's Dance!, inspired by Angela Rippon CBE and the Together Coalition, with a toolkit and resources made available.”
- “The Alliance's 2024 Annual General Meeting took place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The event was well attended, with ~135 attendees on the day.”
- “Nominations for a special 90th anniversary edition of the Alliance's Community Sport and Recreation Awards were launched. The special edition of the awards aims to recognise the next generation of young leaders in sport and recreation who will lead the sector over the next 90 years.”

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
