ASC 205-40 Going Concern
ASC 205-40 assumes that a company will continue as a going concern unless and until the company’s liquidation becomes possible. To continue as a going concern means the company is capable to continue its operating for a period of time that is sufficient to carry out its obligations and commitments.
Company’s management is required to assess whether there are events or/and conditions that raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date on which the annual or interim financial statements of the entities are issued. Substantial doubt shall exist when it is probable that the company will be unable to meet the obligations as they become due.
