Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustess' 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

• “The reporting period represented the first-year implementation of ASCERTs new corporate strategy for 2024-29.”
• “Key developments included organisational restructuring that introduced a Business Development Directorate and a Director to lead this as an addition to the Senior Management Team, leading on strategic business development and the implementation of ASCERT's sustainability strategy.”
• “Our services have continued to develop over this period through three newly commissioned services that have led to a significant increase in staffing and resources, and short-term projects made possible by funding, or using ASCERTs own resources.”
• “ASCERT has continued to strive to ensure quality and continuous improvement in the charity and its services. We have been awarded Investors in People Gold Status recognising the charity's continued commitment to support for its people, and we have had a continued focus on staff development and wellbeing through continuous professional development opportunities and a staff wellbeing plan.”
• “ASCERT continued this year to build on funding success broadening its funding mix by securing a contract with the Education Authority with annual value of up to £813,000.”
• “We have also secured a further large contract with the PHA of up to £406,000.”
• “In this financial year ASCERT also implemented the results of a recent external pay review.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
