Can a business which has ceased trading still be a going concern?

A business that has ceased trading typically cannot be considered a going concern, as the going concern assumption relies on the expectation that the entity will continue its operations for the foreseeable future. If a business has stopped trading, it indicates that it may not generate future revenues or cash flows, undermining its viability. However, if there are plans for restructuring, asset liquidation, or potential new investments that could revive operations, it might still be evaluated under the going concern basis for a limited time.
