Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Sumer Auditco Limited
- 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 continues to invest having spent over £4.7M on new trucks and trailers in the year.”
- “The principal risk to the operation of the business continues to be the prospect of another pandemic like Covid 19 and any resulting lockdown measures put in place.”
- “There is uncertainty regarding future major tours and performances across Europe this may be subject to geopolitical events which may affect artists desire to perform in certain locations.”
- “There are also risks associated with the operational challenges resulting from Brexit and the proposed Employment Rights Act.”
