Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Buzzacott Audit LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors are not aware of any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the financial statements continue to be prepared on the going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “During 2024 some significant strategic decisions were made to put the business in a strong position for the year ahead. Most notable of these were the decisions to exit Naoroji Street (the London office) as well as limited redundancies to right size the headcount for the business. Provision for both together with recognising some challenging projects as they were ending resulted in a loss being recorded for the period. All estimated future losses on open projects have been fully provided for in the current period financial statements. The majority of the company's contracts are fixed price which continues to expose the company to risk of cost inflation and profit erosion.”
- “Exceptional items relate to costs incurred in exiting the lease of the London office at Naoroji Street and redundancy costs. These costs are considered exceptional by nature and are non-recurring.”
