- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company is dependent on continuing finance being made available by parent undertaking WSP Global Inc. to enable it to continue operating and meet its liabilities as they fall due. WSP Global Inc. has significant financial reserves at its disposal and continues to be profitable and cash generative. The parent undertaking has agreed to provide sufficient funds to the company for those purposes. The directors believe it is therefore appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
