- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Trustees have concluded that it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis. A detailed 12 month cash and income & expenditure budget has been prepared which demonstrates that the charity is budgeted to operate without significant recourse to brought forward reserves in the general fund. The major risk in the assumptions made in preparing the budget is in the assumption that congregational donations will continue to hold up and rise to meet increased levels of assumed donations.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
