Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- CK Audit
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “November 2024 saw the launch of "Exporting Starts Here", a project funded by WMCA and a collaboration with Black Country, Greater Birmingham and Coventry & Warwickshire Chambers. The pilot project to March 2025 helped 125 businesses to either start exporting or advance their export capability. The success of the project has secured funding for 2025-26 with a target of 160 business supports.”
- “The Chamber hit many milestones, including: Exceeding budget; Securing a further 12 months funding for our export project; Grown membership by 19%; Maintaining our retention level above British Chambers of Commerce standard; Increasing our training margin; Holding a successful awards evening; Launching our successful PATT (Professionals At The Table) events; 870,021 individual engagements, exceeding 2023/24 levels; Living by our values - Courage, Collaboration and Integrity.”

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
