Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Consolidated group
- Auditor
- Moore Kingston Smith LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group and company will be able to meet their liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future (and at least a period of 12 months beyond the date of approval of these financial statements). This is based on their assessment of the trading position of the group and company and their consideration of the impact of external factors. Having considered these factors. they have concluded that there is no significant impact to the going concern status of the group and company. thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting 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
