- 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. 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 group's or the parent 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. The financial Statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, as management believe that the charity has sufficient assets and funds post balance sheet date, to meet the annual cash commitments required to service the long-term liabilities. The Board of Trustees has approved a budget for 2025/26 and considered the long-term support of Scottish Borders Council via their management fee contribution. Scottish Borders Council have also provided a letter of support indicating their ongoing commitment to support Live Borders for a period of 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. The Trustees consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statement on a going concern basis.”

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
