Going concern

Affirmed

“the Governors have a reasonable expectation that the School has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future, and consider that there are no material uncertainties over the School's financial viability in the short term. Accordingly, the Board of Governors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements as outlined in the Statement of Accounting and Reporting Responsibilities on page 17.”

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
