Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- HW Fisher Audit
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity will have adequate resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future. Thus, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.”
Significant events
- “Our biggest event was the 73rd Westminster Seminar (March 2025). The programme started on Commonwealth Day, with over 50 delegates attending Mr Speaker's Flag-Raising Ceremony at Parliament.”
- “The FCDO has agreed to continue funding for CPA UK's Overseas Territories project, although has ceased funding on other work (which amounted to £228,379 received in 2025) in order to strengthen legislation on gender-based violence and to highlight the issue of orphanage trafficking.”
- “Following the election in July the new UK Government sponsored legislation to secure the required status change and the bill was enacted in January 2025.”
