going concern

going concern
The assumption used in accounting and auditing that an organization will continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The consequences of an organization under audit not being a going concern (e.g., mounting debts raise the prospect of *bankruptcy or the significant curtailment of activities) are normally reflected in changes to a range of assumptions concerning the Valuation of *assets and the *matching of revenues and costs across accounting periods.
