Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102 §1A
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Robson Laidler Accountants Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “2024 has been another good year although there has been a decrease in demand for transport services. Diesel prices are more stable than last year although, there has been a drop in the gross profit, mainly due to the increased vehicle maintenance.”
- “Revenues increased to £8.98m from £8.94m in the previous year.”
- “Profit before tax for the financial year has increased slightly to £1.16m from £1m in the previous year.”
- “New vehicles costing £596k have been added to the fleet.”
