Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Auditor
- SMH Jolliffe Cork Audit Ltd
- 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 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “At the October 2025 Synod meeting a Synod Missional Strategy document was agreed which brought together in a single place a number of elements to the on-going work of ensuring the resources of the Synod support the worship, witness and outreach of the local churches of the Yorkshire Synod.”
- “Officers and representatives of the Synod have been engaging with the URC's Church Life Review, phase two. This has involved attendance at a variety of denomination-wide consultations, and an Extraordinary General Assembly in November.”
- “In December 2025, it was announced that Yorkshire Synod would receive a refund of £135,612 and a provision has been made in these accounts.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
