Going concern

Affirmed

“The Board and management of the Charity have carefully considered the Bush's financial projections and cash flows. This process has incorporated an assessment of the availability of funding from ACE and from other Trusts and Foundations as well as the level of income that can be anticipated from productions and from the trading activities of the Charity. The financial status of the Charity is kept under continuous review to enable emerging financial risks that may impact the going concern status of the Charity to be identified and mitigating actions taken.”

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
