- Xeinadin Audit Limited
- 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
- “A major highlight has been our formal recognition as an Awarding Organisation regulated by Ofqual, and CCEA in Northern Ireland, an endorsement of the quality, integrity, and national relevance of our qualifications.”
- “We also launched our new apprenticeship programme, expanding access to professional development and strengthening the oral healthcare workforce.”
- “Following the launch of our Dental Nurse Apprenticeship in 2023, we welcomed over 50 Apprentices onto the programme, alongside the accreditation of additional Providers to deliver the apprenticeship.”
- “Gaining additional regulation for the revised National Diploma was recognised as a huge step forward for NEBDN and our Providers.”

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
