Audit opinion

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 financial year ending 31 March 2025 was marked by some challenges, most notably a sluggish economic climate.”
• “Government policy resulted in a continued downturn in some markets.”
• “Alexander Associates' experience, diversification and strong reputation in the technical recruitment sector has enabled us to develop our services and business with long-standing clients of all sizes and enter into contracts with new clients.”
• “Over the last year, market and economic conditions have continued to see a temporary reluctance, within some divisions, to recruit permanent staff. Also, existing long-term projects in some divisions started to wind down and impact the demand in the contractor market.”

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
