- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company is an integral part of the Inchcape Group, borrowing from and lending to other Group companies and, when necessary, drawing down on the Group's facilities, principally the syndicated revolving credit facility. The Company's ability to operate as a going concern is assessed in conjunction with the Group, as its viability depends upon the ability of Group companies to settle their intercompany balances with the Company and provide funds for lending to other Group companies.”
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
