Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- A.C.T. AUDIT LIMITED
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Directors believe that preparing the financial statements on the going concern basis is appropriate due to the continued financial support of Gi Group Holding S.p.A.”
Significant events
- “During the year, the facility with Lloyds has been replaced with the factoring facility provided by MBFACTA. As a consequence, trade debtors were sold to the factor on a non-notifiable and without recourse basis with the risk being transferred to the factoring facility.”
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. 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
