Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 66.4% | 74.1% | |
| Current ratio | 1.50x | 1.35x |
Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“These accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis, the assumption underpinning this being that Afghanaid will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and has neither the intention nor need to significantly curtail the scale of its operations.”
Significant events
- “It gives me great pleasure to introduce this 2024 Annual Report, in which Afghanaid reflects upon yet another very successful year, one in which we surmounted numerous challenges and gave great support to the people of Afghanistan. Unfortunately, it was a year marked with great sadness, at the passing of Dr. David Page, our long-serving and cherished Trustee, and our former Chairman.”
- “Reviews of Foreign Exchange transactions identified a total exchange loss of £153k, comprising £142k in unrealised losses, £45k in realised losses and £34k in gains on retranslation of opening balances.”
- “Through 2024, a Taliban 2022 decree prohibiting Afghan women from working with NGOs remained in place, and the situation regarding the rights, roles, and mobility of female staff remained uncertain, challenging our ability to implement gender-inclusive programmes, retain qualified female personnel, and adhere to donor requirements relating to safeguarding, inclusion, and gender equity.”
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
