Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The Trustees have made an assessment of the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date on which the financial statements were approved for release. As a result of our assessment, we consider that the charity is able to continue to operate as a going concern and that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. ... We have made this assessment after reviewing the Charity's forecasts and projections, which are being continually updated. The Trustees are of the opinion that the Charity will have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due; if necessary, this can be by drawing from investments. In making our assessment we did not consider there to be any material uncertainty relating to events or conditions that individually or collectively may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern following a review to consider any material risk.”

Significant events

• “The closed DB pension scheme was pushed back into a funding deficit by the turmoil in financial markets in September and October 2022 resulting in 2023 BMS making further contributions to the scheme totalling £1.922m.”
• “The triennial valuation that took place as at 31 December 2024 requires a further deficit contribution from BMS of £1.1m over a period of 6 years to 31 December 2030. The first contribution of £189,000 was made in December 2025.”
• “The new Pension Regulator Funding Code came into force for triennial valuations that took place after October 2024 and the defined benefit scheme triennial valuation was undertaken in accordance with the new code. This has resulted in the Employer Covenant assessment requiring contingent asset support in the form of a £900k fixed charge over two of the Society's unrestricted investment properties.”
• “On 23 April 2026 a fixed charge of £900,000 over two of the charity's unrestricted investment properties was entered into in favour of the Baptist Missionary Society Pension Trust Limited. This is in respect of the employer covenant support required by the Pension Regulator following the pension triennial valuation as at 31 December 2024.”
