Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2024-03-31 | 2025-03-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 69.8% | 59.2% | |
| Current ratio | 1.43x | 1.49x |
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.
Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Crowe U.K. LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “May 2024: Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal closes for donations (but programmes continue).”
- “August 2024: End of DEC response in Pakistan.”
- “October 2024: Launch of Middle East Humanitarian Appeal.”
- “January 2025: Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal closes for donations (but programmes continue).”
- “28 March 2025: Myanmar earthquake.”
- “3 April 2025: Launch of Myanmar Earthquake Appeal.”
- “Shortly before publication the DEC responded to the devastating Myanmar earthquake. The fundraising efforts, which are continuing, have so far raised over £26 million.”
- “The political change in December 2024 has meant many of those affected by the earthquakes have been looking to return to their communities, and to check on their homes and businesses. This has had a significant impact on the areas where DEC member charities and their local partners are supporting people and has required some member charities to reassess needs and adapt their activities, towards the end of the programme.”

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
