Audit & accounting basis

- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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. 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.”
Significant events
- “During the financial year, the Arup Group undertook a comprehensive review of its revenue recognition methodology. This reassessment was prompted by a Group wide analysis of over 1,000 completed projects, which indicated that the previous methodology, specifically recognising revenue and profit from the 50% completion milestone for projects in standard risk locations, no longer reflected the economic substance of project performance and introduced a delay in reporting financial outcomes.”
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. 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
