- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reason: The directors prepare rolling 12 months financial forecasts for the group on a realistic and worst-case basis which includes severe but plausible downsides. These indicate that the group would have sufficient funds available to meet its liabilities as and when they fell due for that period. Consequently, the directors are confident that the group would have sufficient funds available to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months following the approval of the financial statements and have therefore prepared 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
