- 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 original financial statements were authorised for issue. The Directors have considered their obligation in relation to their assessment of preparing the financial statements on the going concern basis. The Directors have prepared and reviewed forecasts for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, which consider the Company's post year end performance and risks facing the Company. In addition, the Company interacts with the wider Constellation Software, Inc. group with regular cash pooling and contributes funding to the wider group. At the Company level, there are no external financing facilities. The Directors are satisfied that the Company has access to adequate financial resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due and to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on the going basis.”
