Going concern

Affirmed

“After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that AMI's has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Medium-term financial forecasts have been prepared, incorporating a range of stress test scenarios to assess the potential impact of adverse conditions on income and expenditure. Based on the results of these forecasts, alongside the charity's current reserves position and liquidity, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The financial statements have, therefore, been prepared on the basis that the charity is a going concern.”

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
