Audit & accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- A9 Accountancy Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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.”
Significant events
- “The staff complement as at 31st March 2025 was 12 staffing equating to 10.57 full time equivalent posts. Several staff changes have took place resulting in a turnover rate of 50%. This included the resignation of the long-term CEO and the appointment of an interim CEO following an internal recruitment process.”
- “Digital transformation of the organisation continues to be underway with the introduction of a CRM system to aid communication and capture data more effectively.”
- “The organisation had budgeted for 4 projects being approved for funding through the Scottish Government Rural and Island Housing Fund, no projects were approved during the year due to several systemic challenges.”
- “Our rent arrears at 31 March 2025 stood at 9% and during the year we lost £19,164 rental income through void properties.”

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
