Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor

“The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future, however the trustees are mindful of the continuing deficits over the last two years as part of the going concern consideration.” — page 12
