- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Governors are satisfied that operating cash flows remain satisfactory and will be sufficient to allow the College to meet its liabilities as they fall due. However, the Governors also recognise that the level of reserves will fluctuate in response to economic conditions and during periods of strategic investment in the College estate. Regular dialogue is maintained with the College's bank to ensure that the appropriate financial facilities are available to call on should the need arise. Accordingly, the Governors consider that the going concern basis remains appropriate for the preparation of the College's accounts.”

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
