- 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.”

- The South American Mission Society 100%

Significant events
- “In late January 2025, devastating violence swept across Goma, DR Congo, as Rwanda-backed rebels seized the city. CMS responded by quickly mobilising a network of mission-minded organisations and partners.”
- “The summer months saw CMS represented at multiple events and festivals. We launched our bold new fundraising initiative Global Edge Church at a special fringe event during the Church of England's General Synod in York in July 2025.”
- “In September, we celebrated a marvellous milestone: the 1,000th student joining our Pioneer Mission Training programme, which began in 2010.”
- “The Bulk Transfer Agreement was signed on 30 April 2025... and the transfer took place on 22 July 2025.”
