- Azets Audit Services Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “Looking forward to 2025, the business environment in which the Company operates continues to be challenging with increasing competition coming from both larger corporates and smaller independent freight forwarders, and of course the continuing direct and indirect impacts that the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza will have on business over 2025.”
- “An unrealised exchange gain of £37,821 on the outstanding exchange contract was recognised in the profit and loss account for the year (2023 - loss £64,229).”
