- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Group and Company meet their day to day working capital requirements through existing credit facilities. The group and Company have a considerable number of contracts, of which a significant proportion have longevity of being serviced for a number of years. These contracts are spread across different geographic areas and business markets. As a consequence the directors believe the Group and company are well placed to manage their business risks successfully. The directors have prepared forecasts and are confident that the Group and Company have adequate resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due. As such, the directors consider it is appropriate to prepare 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
