Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial plan demonstrates clearly that the academy operates with sufficient funds to continue as a going concern. In order to do this it does make some assumptions the main one being that the government continues to fund the academy at the same or similar level to the current year. Past experience suggests that this will be the case.”

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
