Going concern

Affirmed

“Cash flow projections and forecasts covering the next 5 years are reviewed in detail at each termly meeting of the Finance & General Purposes Committee. This includes stress testing to assess the effect of any variations in the underlying assumptions relating to pupil numbers, fee levels, inflation and interest rates. Cash flow projections have also been reviewed covering a period in excess of 12 months from that date of signature of the accounts. This analysis, together with review of monthly management accounts and our budget process has satisfied the Governors that the School will continue to be a going concern and the accounts have been prepared on this basis.”

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
