- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The Derby Diocesan Board of Education (DBE) is looking to maximise income from DBE Investments and evaluate other income generation streams whilst being directly support by the DBF. The DBE therefore has made a voluntary commitment to utilise up to £100,000 of unrestricted reserves to fund any deficits arising over the next three years, and to return any unspent DBF grant monies.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
