Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the forseeable future, therefore they continue to adopt the going concern basis for accounting in preparing the annual financial statements. In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The Board, in conjunction with the ECA Council, has embarked on a change in the business model of the trade association so that the provision of core member services and benefits become less reliant in the future on returns from commercial investments or drawdown from reserves. The targets that have been set are currently being met.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
