Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor

“The Vicar said that the Parish had been trading at a deficit in the recent past. In 2024 this was slightly reduced as income increased and expenditure reduced.

The Parish had been able to cover deficits thanks to generous legacies.” — page 1

Governance: Accounts delayed due to lack of Treasurer; bookkeeper doing fewer hours.
