Going concern

Affirmed

“The Council has a reasonable expectation that the University has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, including for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements, and for this reason will continue to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of its financial statements. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the University's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

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
