Audit opinion

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 charitable 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 BCLA marked an historic milestone with the successful inaugural edition of BCLA ASIA in mainland China. The two-day event took place on March 8-9, 2024, in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, and was jointly organised by BCLA, the Sichuan Association of Optometry and Eye Care, and hosted by West China Hospital, Sichuan University.”
• “We were proud to deliver Optometry Tomorrow 2024 incorporating BCLA Focus-an innovative collaboration between the College of Optometrists and the BCLA. Held from 28-29 April 2024 at the Telford International Centre, the event brought together the College's flagship conference and BCLA Focus for the first time.”

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
