- 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 Union made significant progress towards its desired strategic outcomes in the financial year, as shown in the organisation's balanced scorecard.”
- “The Union was proud to receive several national and international awards over the last twelve months.”
- “Our Men's 1st Basketball Team secured promotion to the University Premier League for the first time in our history.”
- “Finally, we launched the rebrand of UWSU to create a more visual Union.”

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
