Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2024-03-31 | 2025-03-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 1.2% | 1.4% | |
| Current ratio | 17.52x | 18.46x |
Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Trustees review a rolling 15-year financial plan annually and have revisited this to consider impacts, from the above. The Plan, has always been very prudent with regards to grants relating to any pandemic such as AIDS and Covid-19. Many members have asked ACCA about the payment of membership subscriptions although this is not relevant to the Fund as the Trustees have a policy not to pay for these. The review concluded that, excluding the impact from movements in investment values, the Fund will still have excesses of surpluses over expenditure until 2030 and therefore the Trustees are satisfied that the financial statements can be prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The Covid-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the operations of all entities globally and in particular on the activities of charities.”
- “Impact of geo-political factors including US tariffs, high interest rates and uncertainty due to the Russia/Ukraine and Gaza/Israel conflicts.”
- “Potential impacts include increased applications from ACCA members and their families, fall/increase in donations, and lower investment income.”

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
