Going concern

Affirmed

“The Members of the Council decide whether the use of going concern is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast doubt on the ability of the charitable group to continue on as a going concern. The Members of the Council make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular, the Members of the Council have considered the Charitable company's forecast and projections and have considered the potential impacts of the coronavirus outbreak on the viability of the charitable group. Annual budgets have been revised taking this into account. The charity holds significant reserves and has liquid assets in the form of cash held in short-term deposits. For this reason, the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
