Annual Report and Financial Statements 2019
20 May 2020: The attached financial statements are in draft form pending audit sign-off. Auditors have been requested by their regulatory body, the Financial Reporting Council, to pause final approval pending further consideration into matters relating to the economic impact of the current COVID-19 pandemic and in particular with regard to general going concern considerations. The instructions from the FRC apply to companies but, in the auditors' view, the deliberations equally apply to charities. It is anticipated that clearance will be given within the next two to three weeks.
