Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- DSG Audit
- 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 charity'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
- “This year we delivered the first Domestic Abuse Conference in Knowsley - Voices for Change, providing a platform for both national and local voices, with guest speakers including the Domestic Abuse Commissioner Nicole Jacobs, the Centre for Women's Justice, Women's Aid, and the Femicide Census.”
- “We partnered with Amazon UK to launch a new work placement scheme, supporting survivors to rebuild their lives through meaningful employment opportunities.”
- “We also commissioned and published Femicide in Merseyside - 15 Years of Failing Women, a landmark report highlighting systemic failings and calling for urgent reform.”
- “Two big achievements this year which I would like to focus on are The Femicide In Merseyside report and the 'Voices For Change' Conference”
- “Caroline, our CEO, took the lead in galvanising the specialist VAWG sector who commissioned and funded a review into the deaths of women and girls in Merseyside since 2009. The first of its kind across the UK.”
