Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Barnes Roffe Audit Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have considered the impact of Brexit, Ukraine and the cost-of-living increase may have on the Company and prepared cashflow forecasts for the period of 12 months from the date of signing the annual report. In the unlikely scenario that there is a prolonged decrease in demand for services and that the future contracts that the Company is targeting do not proceed, the Company still has adequate resources to continue operations and the directors conclude, therefore, that adopting the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements is appropriate.”
Significant events
- “The company overcame negative effects of Brexit and demonstrated performance improvement in 2023-2024.”
- “CCL does not have clients and operations in Russia and Ukraine, and the Lenton group stopped providing services with Russia and Ukraine from 24 February 2022.”
- “UK inflation decreased to 4% in 2023 and 2.5% in 2024, but businesses challenged by increased payroll costs.”
