Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The Trustees have reviewed the charity's financial position, including its reserves and future forecasts, as part of their assessment of the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. Although the charity has reported a deficit for the current financial year, it holds significant cash reserves that are sufficient to cover operational costs for the foreseeable future and maintain its cash reserve policy. In addition, the Trustees have approved a budget for the next financial year that projects a break-even position. The forecasts and cash flow projections have been prepared with reasonable assumptions regarding income and expenditure. Based on these reviews, the Trustees are confident that the charity has adequate resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. Therefore, the Trustees consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern 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
