Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- RSM UK Audit LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Consequently, the directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The business paid £2m in the year that related to changes within the senior management structure and redundancy costs in some areas as the business evaluated its operational workforce.”
- “£10k of expenses were incurred during the year that related to an ongoing legal case that is in place to request that Link review the interchange rates and bring in line with the rise in interest costs.”
- “In May 2022, it was deemed that ATMs attached to retail hereditaments in Scotland were no longer rateable, resulting in a credit of £8.1m to exceptional costs in FY22.”
- “£45k was spent during the year on the rationalisation of the ATM estate by looking at the loss making machines and taking a proactive approach to uplifting the ATMs or renegotiating the leases to provide better commercials for the business.”
