- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Trustees have reviewed the organisation's budget and financial plans including scenarios on registry, journals and conference income. They have concluded that there are sufficient reserves held at year end to create a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and that it is therefore appropriate to prepare the charity and group 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
