Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor
“Despite there being a negative general funds situation, after making further appropriate enquiries, together with known fundraising results done after year end, the timing expectations of the interest free loans from the congregation, and the investment assets available to be liquidated if required, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and at least twelve months from the date of signing this report, as required. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.” — page 8
