- Godfrey Wilson Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. This expectation is bolstered by the Union's free reserves availability of £462,977 (excluding the pension deficit). The trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate and no material uncertainties identified.”

Significant events
- “The 2024-25 financial year was a successful one for the University of Hertfordshire Students' Union (HSU).

In addition to participating in decision-making, HSU led a number of impactful initiatives that addressed student needs and priorities.”
- “Implement a new structure for our Elected Officers, rolling out the model of one full-time President and nine part-time Officers.”
- “Launch HSU's rebranded identity to clarify our role in supporting the University community.”

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
