Graphical element instead of the role link presence. How should I report it?

Hello everyone,
There is a webpage that I need to provide an accessibility testing for. It was given to me as the practice.
The issue is that there is practically no html markup on a webpage, if I press ctrl+u and review the code the only thing I find is the connection process of java scripts in body of the document.
So I cannot review the code and report it as it would be more correctly.
The issue is that the element that logically should be stated as the element as the link role is presented as the graphical element with the alt text "Ceotech logo". When pressed, it returns back to the home page.
Here's how I have written a report.
Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong, because I have no idea how to tell it correctly in this case.
The graphical logo instead of the link role element is presented.
The element which is ment to be a home forwarding link is stated as an image that should be replaced with the element with name "home" and role link.
It will allow a screen reader user to interact with this element as needed.
Now it is not clear if it is an image or a link.
Expected result: An html element with the name "Home" and the link role should be presented.
Actual result: An aria-control element. The image element doesn't have a link role and has the wrong name which is confusing when using a screen reader.

P.s.:
There are no elements with the link role at all. All links are presented as divs or graphical elements.
