- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the forseeable future and not less than one year from the date of approval. The trustees and executive team are constantly monitoring the position of the charity and at the balance sheet date the charity has healthy reserves and healthy cash balances. Under all scenarios reviewed, the Hospice has sufficient reserves to enable it to continue as a going concern for the forseeable future. For this reason it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
