Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The management team have been reviewing the group's cash flow forecasts looking forward every week. The Board have considered these forecasts and are satisfied that the cash flow forecasts for the period of 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements show that the group can meet its liabilities as they fall due. Our prudent approach to maintaining a strong cash position, our low level of gearing and supportive funders means that we are well placed to weather the challenges that the current economic environment and any subsequent recession present to us. For these reasons, the Board has adopted the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
