- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have carried out a going concern assessment. Forecasts through to year ending 2026 are prepared for the UK group of companies in which the company is included. These forecasts support the assessment that the UK group of companies will continue to be able to meet their obligations as they fall due throughout the period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The company also participates in the DHL Group's centralised treasury arrangements and so shares banking arrangements with its parent and other group undertakings. The company can draw on these arrangements for funds should the need to access a short term working capital facility arise. Consequently, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

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
