Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“Free unrestricted reserves of CFG at the year-end amount to £188,387. After consideration of the current strategic plan and with an aligned three-year forward forecast reviewed, the Trustees consider there is a reasonable expectation that the CFG group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Trustees are also satisfied with the controls in place for monitoring and flexing the budget throughout the years. There are no material uncertainties that would impact on the charity's ability to continue. Accordingly, we continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing this annual report and financial statements.”

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
