Accounts
Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Pitt Godden & Taylor LLP
- 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
- “GARAS was delighted to mark it's 25th Anniversary this year being first formed in 1999. To celebrate this achievement we held 25 events throughout the year (many in partnership with other organisations).”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
