The British Omani Society
Financial health, per its FY2023 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted reserves stood at £2,656,428, a slight increase from the prior year, while total net assets decreased by £1,489,715 primarily due to a £1.5 million revaluation loss on investment property. The Trustees confirmed the charity remains a going concern with sufficient resources to continue activities, and the independent auditors issued an unqualified opinion on the financial statements.
What the accounts disclose
“The Board will continue to review at regular intervals the level of funds that may need to be held to meet the costs of any future rental voids and periodic refurbishment requirements for the Property.”
