- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these financial statements. The Trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of at least one year from the date of approval of these financial statements. Whilst there may be future challenges as a result of school funding and pressures, the Trustees believe the charity will meet these. This will be done by the sale of affordable online resource subscriptions that help to relieve workload, a diverse product range to build the capacity and income generation potential of the Charity, licence fee paying Delivery Partners and branches, together with the diversification of income sources. The company also continues to have the support of its parent entity, Coram, which has given an undertaking to provide financial support if and when needed. Consequently, the Trustees have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern.”

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
