GOING CONCERN
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the CIO has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
RESERVES POLICY
The trustees keep the reserves needs of the CIO continually under review.
