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 Action against Medical Accidents' 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

• “Board decided to dispose of the charity's Croydon office, and the property was sold in August 2024. AvMA now operates on a fully remote working basis and has a shared office space in central London.”
• “The charity recruited a Director of Fundraising, Marketing & Communications late in 2024.”
• “At the end of the year, we held our Annual Clinical Negligence Conference in Bournemouth, with a record 68 exhibitors supporting the event as well as a near record number of delegates.”
• “AVMA also became member of the secretariat for the newly formed All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Patient Safety in 2024.”
• “Trustees approved the sale to support the charity in reducing operating costs and freeing up cash for the charity to invest in key strategy objectives to review and increase its charitable services.”
• “Recognising the need to build a more sustainable and diverse income base, we acted on professional advice and appointed a Director of Fundraising, Marketing and Communications in early 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
