- 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 charitable 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
- “The first HFF Archive Fellowship was awarded to a post-doctoral researcher this year.”
- “In 2024, further workshops and training programmes were successfully conducted, and a coastal field survey undertaken (in Cyprus).”
- “HFF Lebanon recently completed a digitisation project to bring together all extant research on the port of Sidon, in collaboration with the DGA. Plans are afoot to turn efforts to the World Heritage site of Tyre.”
- “In 2024, the Foundation signed a three-year agreement to support the American University of Beirut's digital documentation of the maritime archaeology of Lebanon.”
- “Orlando Whitfield resigned on 30 April 2024.”

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
