Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- HaysMac
- 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
- “In November 2025, the Bishop of Lincoln, after consulting with the relevant diocesan committees and Bishop's Council, completed a Bishop's Pastoral Order to reduce the number of Archdeaconries from three to two.”
- “In 2025, the trustees engaged an external consultancy to conduct a thorough Governance Review looking at behaviours, reporting, and decision making, as well as the efficiency and strength of our structure.”
- “In October 2025 the Diocese hosted its first Safeguarding Conference, attended by a broad range of church officers.”
