Audit & accounting basis

Accounting basis: IFRS
Reporting scope: Consolidated group
Auditor: BDO LLP
Audit opinion: Unqualified (clean)
Going concern: Affirmed
“In assessing the Group’s going concern position the Directors have considered all relevant facts, latest forecasts, an assessment of the risks faced by the Group, all considered potential changes in trading performance, in addition, management have stress tested the latest forecasts to the point where they believe that the Group has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities as they fall due over the going concern period. We also agree that the Group and the Company have a reasonable expectation that the Group and the Company will have adequate resources to meet the liabilities as they fall due over the going concern period. We have reviewed all of the above, as well as the Directors’ statement on page 48 and have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

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
