Ratios

|---|---|---|---|
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 0.1% | 0.2% | |
| Current ratio | 15.78x | 40.99x |

Audit & accounting basis

- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Cocke, Vellacott & Hill
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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
- “Four properties were sold in the year (2024 - none).”
- “Significant additional travel costs were incurred due to travel to Aston Hall during the purchase process and afterwards to supervise the extensive renovations required.”
- “Aston Hall is now fully refurbished. The Chapel has been beautified by the artist Marcelo Lavallen and contains a statue dedicated to Blessed Dominic Barberi. It has cost the society in excess of £500,000 to bring the hall up to a fitting standard and we now move forward with plans to make it a place of pilgrimage to Blessed Dominic Barberi.”
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
