“The Institute's forecasts and projections for the next twelve months show that the charity should be able to continue in operational existence for that period. The Institute has a strong positive cash position and is forecasting that this will continue to be the case. The trustees have stress tested their forecasts, taking into account various scenarios, and remain confident that the uncertainties do not cast significant doubt on The Institute's ability to continue as a going concern. Based on the factors set out above the trustees believe that it remains appropriate to prepare 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
