Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Rödl & Partner Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company has continued to operate successfully throughout recent world events that had the potential to negatively impact business levels, demonstrating a resilience that gives confidence in the long term business sustainability. Strong growth in 2024 gives further confidence as to the company's ongoing viability and success. The company has considered its forecast cash flows for the foreseeable future, including a plausible downside, and concluded that the company has the ability to operate independently with its own cash resources without needing to access available group funding.”
Significant events
- “Combined with the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, developing global tension has the possibility to impact KSB Limited indirectly due to the possibility of continued rising costs and delivery delays, however, in the absence of direct import/export links to the region, no impact on local business levels is expected.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
