Going concern

Affirmed

“Achieving for Children has been assessed by the directors as a going concern. Despite the accounting losses reported in these accounts, the board and leadership team have made significant progress in identifying how these financial challenges will be met and continue to develop these plans. The Board's medium term financial strategy outlines these financial plans in more detail and addresses what actions are being taken to reduce the company's cost base to accommodate proposed reductions in the owners' contract prices over the next three years.”

Significant events

• “2024/25 has been another challenging year financially. Costs have continued to rise, often well in excess of headline inflation rates. The level of need, both in numbers and complexity, continues to grow and the budget envelope remains constrained.”
• “The company can borrow from the councils under the revolving credit facility of £45 million. This provides funding to the company to cover cash flow, losses and any investment requirements.”

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
