Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor
“The charity is reliant upon the continued Support of its principle benefactor, Monkey World Limited. Although there is no contractual obligation or commitment further funds have been advanced since the year end that are adequate for the charities current requirements. There is no indication that funding is likely to be withdrawn. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.” — page 25
