These are subject to independent examination or full audit by external audit (dependant on income and asset thresholds), and once finalised, these are published with the Charity Commission by the 31st of January each year. This project is to the appointment of external auditors to undertake the independent examination of the 2025/26 charity accounts prior to approval and publication by 31st January.
