Mock Question

MM075y ago
Consider the following statements about going concern: (i) Financial statements must always be prepared on the going concern basis. (ii) If a business is not considered to be a going concern, financial statements should not be prepared. Which of the statements is/are correct? I did this question incorrect. Both are false. Please explain sir.

We assume that the financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis unless there is a statement saying that it is not a going concern. If it is not a going concern then financial statements are still prepared, but on the basis that it is not a going concern, and there will be a note with the statements stating that.
