Audit opinion: qualified
“We were appointed as auditor of the charitable company on 12th December 2024, but no stock take was undertaken at the year end as the stock was believed to be immaterial, thus we did not observe the counting of physical inventories at the end of the year. We were unable to satisfy ourselves by alternative means concerning the inventory quantities held at 31 December 2024, which are included in the balance sheet at £15,336, by using other audit procedures.” — page 9
