Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor

“The Trustees are aware that the trustees of Aletheia Academies Trust have expressed a desire to bring the activities passing through the Charity directly into that trust. At this point the Charity would transfer its activities, assets and liabilities to Aletheia Academies Trust. Since no firm decision has been made in respect of this transfer at the time of approval of these financial statements, the Trustees have concluded the going concern basis is appropriate.” — page 4
