- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements for Puig UK Limited have been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have assessed the appropriateness of the going concern basis of accounting when preparing the financial statements in accordance with accounting standards and guidance from the Financial Reporting Council ('FRC'). As part of the assessment, the directors have considered whether there are any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions (other than those with a remote probability of occurring) that may cast significant doubt upon the use of the going concern basis of accounting. In making the assessment, the directors have considered the Company's current financial performance; forecasts of future financial performance, future cash flow and liquidity requirements based on operational business plans; and access to additional liquid resources. Based on the assessment the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has access to sufficient liquid resources to continue in operational existence”

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
