VVavneet6y ago
Hi Q: as part of going concern you have reviewed that cash flow forecast based on the assumptions of significant increases in revenue: Answer: email correspondence between sales director and potential new customer -a review of board minutes showing details of new customer won -A review of the post year end sales and the order book -A review of post year end sales and order book -discuss with the management regarding their plans for obtaining new customer ANSWER- A REVIEW OF POST YEAR END SALES AND ORDER BOOK. I chosen email correspondence with director and new customer Doubt: this is a most reliable evidence,no? Post year end sale and order book- there could be chance that they are just recording transaction just to show high revenue?

An order book records sales orders received from customers (that are to be fulfilled at a future date). The mere prospect of a potential customer (who hasn't placed any order yet) would be far less reliable in supporting an assumption about a significant increase in revenue reflected in a cash flow forecast. If there was a signed contract with a new customer that committed to a volume of sales that would be good evidence - but it isn't an option here.
