Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102 §1A
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Abridged
- Yes — abridged accounts (limited disclosure)
- Auditor
- Rowland Hall
- 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
- “The company operates within a legally and commercially complex, cross border trading environment with a high volume of transactions. Such an environment creates a heightened risk of dispute with customers, suppliers and other intermediaries. The company has robust controls to minimise said risk but in line with the broader freight forwarding industry, the company cannot entirely eliminate that risk. Commercial disputes are invariably complex and may span more than one accounting period.”
