- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the trustees consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. The trust receives funding from the Secretary of State for Education under the Academies Act 2010 in the form of a grant towards the normal running costs and capital expenditure of each of its Academies, based on projected student numbers. The trustees have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of 36 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Consequently, the trustees are confident that the trust will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared 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
