Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Goldwins Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Association has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “ABN's changing relationship with its journal, Practical Neurology, and the increases in the cost of running the organisation due to inflation, all bring financial uncertainty. In 2023, the large VAT liability reduced the ABN's reserves to around the level of its annual expenditure. In 2024 and beyond, the trustees will focus on rebuilding the reserves in line with the stated objective to hold 1.25 times normal annual expenditure.”
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
