Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Alexander Myerson & Co Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Since 1 October 2024, this company has reverted to operating as an independent charity, separate from Catholic Blind Institute.”
- “The trustees are sad to announce the loss of Margaret Guppy during the period of these accounts. Margaret was one of our longest serving trustees, made wonderful contributions to both the Charity and the Board of Trustees, and her passing has been a huge loss to us all.”
- “We are also sad to announce that Edward Robinson, who was formerly our Treasurer and another long-serving trustee, has chosen to step down from the Board, but we thank him for his support, and wish him the best for the future.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
