افتراض الشركة الجارية أو افتراض الاهتمام الجاري
Fuad is right. This is an ambigious statement. The puzzle lies in the word "concern". It could mean "company or entity" or "interest" therefore I would suggest:
افتراض الشركة أو المؤسسة الجارية
or
افتراض الاهتمام الجاري
افتراض الشركة أو المؤسسة الجارية
or
افتراض الاهتمام الجاري

افتراض القضية الجارية
This is really poor English technical writing. People often talk this way, but should not write this way.
In this awkward construction, "the going concern" is used as an adjective modifying "assumption." The phrase means, "assumption about the going concern."
In Arabic, it may read better if you use the plural form افتراضات without affecting the meaning -- just a suggestion.
