Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor

“Following the Care Quallty Commisston review (CQC) future funding has become uncertain with wholesale cuts and market pressures. Moreover, Bradford Council still retains confidence In commissioning Bradnet to deliver care, and other funders such as Big Lottery are continuing to make grants for capital and revenue projects. Thus, the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis In preparing the accounts and at the time of approving the accounts.” — page 14
