Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Cottons Accountants LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The gross profit margin decreased from 14.7% (2023) to 12.7% (2024) due to the increase of waste management costs, plant repairs and other motor running costs in the year.”
- “During the last year the cost of living has had an impact on an increase in diesel prices, however the waste disposal costs have remained similar to the previous year. This has been mitigated by a strong control over the company's labour costs.”
