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.”

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
