- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustee's 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 or the group'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
- “CEME has submitted a grant application of £73M from Donor Advised Fund (DAF) in the USA. The application has been accepted in principle and we have secured a £15M deposit which is required by DFA for a 12-month period.”
- “in 2025 Ford Motor Company relocated its Apprentices' Training facility to Dunton. This has left CEME with significant space within our engineering area to re-purpose for new market opportunities. In addition, an anchor tenant, North East London Foundation Trust (NELFT), informed us they will be leaving the campus by June 2026.”
- “During 2024 all our Solar Array panels were replaced at a cost of £800,000. During 2025 the Solar Array contributed 625,584kWh energy. The solar Array reduced CEME's Electricity charges by £180,000 in the first full year of operation.”
