- Auditor
- Bishop Fleming Audit Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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
- “On 29 May 2025, the Company was acquired by ADV Finance Holding Limited, a subsidiary of AdvancedAdvT Limited, strengthening its position within a broader group of software businesses focused on driving innovation and long term value across the public sector. As a result of the acquisition, the Company's EMI scheme crystallised, giving rise to associated exceptional charges recognised within the income statement for the year.”
- “The directors paid a dividend of £165,000 to the immediate controlling company, GOSS Technology Group Ltd.”
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
