- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 Group's or the parent Company'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
- “2024 has been a special year for England Golf. Our Centenary Year has seen a number of events to mark 100 years under the Rose; including a Centenary Dinner; and Centenary Golf week.”
- “Having launched our Respect in Golf movement in 2023, 2024 has seen us travel to all parts of the country to educate all our clubs and counties about the importance of introducing policies to ensure the game is inclusive and accessible to all.”
- “Our work has seen us recognised at a host of awards in 2024 and we were very proud to win the Sports Innovation Award at the Sports Business Awards in November, for our iGolf initiative. We were also finalists for Best Sports Governing Body of the Year and the Sports Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Award, while we finished runners-up for the Sports Organisation of the Year at the Sports Industry Awards in April.”
- “The Group continues to invest in the National Golf Centre following its mission, striving to provide an internationally recognised golfing experience for all stakeholders, members, visitors and guests. This will include building a new Clubhouse and accommodation.”

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
