Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Buzzacott Audit LLP, Chartered Accountants
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Trustees have undertaken a detailed review of income, costs, cash flow, reserves and external factors and considered that the Charity is a going concern. The Trustees believe that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future as expected funds receivable are anticipated to be sufficient to fund committed projects. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “2024 saw a promising start to the delivery of the 2024-2030 strategy with £6.1 million income secured against the £50.0 million target for the seven-year strategic period.”
- “Amref UK's Senior Management Team led the development of Amref UK's Fundraising and Organisational Development (FROD) application... In December 2024, our FROD investment was approved and signed off by Amref Health Africa's International Board.”
- “We launched our first digital acquisition pilot which was followed by a further two tests to gain insights and understanding of our audiences.”
- “We launched Amref's first-ever Direct Response Television (DRTV) advertisement campaign.”

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
