Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“Monitoring closely current and forecast economics and political decisions, having considered all factors, including the potential impact of VAT on fees, and after reviewing the available evidence including our cash flow position and forecasts, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group will be able to continue operating for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore, the financial statements have been prepared 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
