| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 15.9% | 8.3% | |

- 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 group's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “A significant restructure of our global teams in 2024.”
- “During the year redundancy payments made amounted to £64,797 (2023: £189,170) as a result of a restructuring of the charity.”
- “The context for fundraising remained challenging through 2024 with a number of Alert's longstanding institutional donors cutting their aid budgets and the costs of operations continuing to grow amid upward conflict trends. Despite this, we secured £20 million income during the year.”
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. 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
