- 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 entity'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 major risks to which the COE is exposed are constantly reviewed by the Trustees and, to the extent possible, systems have been put in place to mitigate those risks. Specifically, these include dealing with the massive consequences of Brexit, Covid and the war in Ukraine to which the COE is as vulnerable as any British orchestra.”
- “uncertainty caused by the effects of the war in Ukraine and the changes to the UK government tax credit scheme from 1 April 2024 when it was no longer possible to make claims for eligible costs incurred outside the UK.”
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. 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
