- 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 decrease in profit of 10.4% was planned and is as a result of increased investment in additional employees in order to continue our three pronged approach of driving growth in future years, adopting technological advances and driving those forward in the sector.”
- “The company continues to treat Cyber Security as a principle risk and continues to invest and develop our resources in this area.”
- “Ongoing cost of living and energy prices, inflation and the overall position of the UK economy continue to be of concern, with the primary affect being on the supporters of the company's charity clients.”
