Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Mr Christopher Joyce FCCA (Senior Statutory Auditor) for and on behalf of Hysons Audit Services Ltd
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' 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 charitable 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
- “September saw us launch our new Day Service provision, Purple Oak Day Service (PODS), which is a natural evolution of our previous Leisure Activities Made Accessible (LAMA) service and grew from the changing needs and demand from this group.”
- “During the year we have had further changes to the use of the building, with increased hire income from our Day Service offering throughout the latter part of this financial year along with the Nursery who have now hired a larger space within the building.”
- “The recovery resulted from the full reopening of Rainbow Corner (our children's respite care centre) and a thorough review of our Adult care support Services contracts with Hampshire County Council to try and run as cost efficiently as possible.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
