Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Auditor
- Hall Morrice LLP
- 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. 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
- “An incident occurred at one of Sport Aberdeen's swimming pools in 2024, where sadly a young person subsequently died. A full investigation is still being conducted by Police Scotland and Sport Aberdeen is fully cooperating with the team on this. The incident is not closed and therefore findings have not yet concluded or been published. There remains an open risk of financial exposure against the charity.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
