Going concern

Affirmed

“As a result of prudent financial management and planning by the Academy Trust over the last two decades, academy finances remain healthy and projections show it remains a healthy going concern. After making appropriate enquiries, the board of trustees therefore has a reasonable expectation that the Academy Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the 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
