Audit & accounting basis

Accounting basis: FRS 102
Reporting scope: Standalone (parent only)
Auditor: Azets Audit Services
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

“Crown was officially certified as Carbon Neutral in April 22 and are committed to the target of Net Zero Carbon by 2030.”
“Due to supply difficulties encountered in the market, the business made the decision in 2022 to change its traditional model of purchasing to one that included a greater emphasis on the bulk import of fuel products to alleviate supply issues for the company and assist in the continued provision of supplies to the customer base. This new model has proved to be a success and has continued since 2022.”
“Crown has continued investment into the supply and use of renewable and sustainable fuels to meet legislated change, in particular Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO). The board sees the considerable environmental benefits from use, with a reduction of up to 90% greenhouse gas emissions and reducing the NOx, PM, and CO emissions.”

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. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
