Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the Council considers to be appropriate for the following reasons. The University has prepared a financial model and cash flow forecasts for a period up to July 2027 which takes account of severe but plausible scenarios. After reviewing the assumptions underpinning these forecasts, the Council is of the opinion that the University will have sufficient funds to meet their liabilities as they fall due, over the period of 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements (the going concern assessment period). ... Consequently, the Council is confident that the University will have sufficient funds to continue to meet their liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-07-31 vs 2024-07-31

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
