- MHA Audit Services LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' 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 British Geriatrics Society '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.”
Group structure
- BRITISH GERIATRICS SOCIETY (THE) · parent
- BGS (Trading) Limited 100%
Significant events
- “A new Labour government won the July 2024 election.”
- “Discussion of palliative and end of life care achieved new prominence in 2024/25, thanks to the debate surrounding a Private Member's Bill on Assisted Dying, with similar moves towards possible legislation in Scotland.”
- “The BGS convened a roundtable event in June 24 for senior leaders in the NHS, Royal Colleges, charities and thinktanks, highlighting the need for a policy focus on older people.”
- “In autumn 2024, we launched the #ChooseGeriatrics campaign which celebrates the variety and rewards of working in older people's healthcare.”
- “The BGS website was fully redeveloped and relaunched in February 2025.”

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
