- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. This expectation is bolstered by the Union's free reserves availability of £462,977 (excluding the pension deficit). The trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate and no material uncertainties identified.”

- “Implement a new structure for our Elected Officers, rolling out the model of one full-time President and nine part-time Officers.”
- “Launch HSU's rebranded identity to clarify our role in supporting the University community.”
