Going concern

Affirmed

“The Trustees have prepared a cash-flow forecast that reflects their best prediction for donations and expenditure going forward and which demonstrates the charity projects to have sufficient cash to meet its liabilities as they fall due over the next 12 months. The charity continues to have access to its pre-existing bank facilities and the Trustees take further comfort from the support they continue to receive in the form of legacies and donations from their supporters. As at the year end the charity retained £2,547,522 in cash in addition to their investment portfolio valued at £101,970. Furthermore the charity owns 5 of its charity shops and additional land surrounding the sanctuary site which in a worst case scenario could be sold to support the cash-flow of the charity. Post year end management accounts also show the charity to have achieved a surplus. The charity continues to manage the challenges caused by high inflation rates and energy prices arising from the current general UK economic environment. On the basis of these forecasts and analysis, the Trustees remain confident that the charity will continue to be a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approving these 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
