- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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. For this reason, the Council believes that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Launch of Gafta's first online technical training programme for Superintendents.”
- “Championing the importance of increased digitalisation of the Agri-Trade.”
- “Strategic investment in the International Grain Trade (IGTC) to strengthen trade policy activity.”

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
