Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Azets Audit Services
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The introduction of the Civil Liability Bill on 31 May 2021 will continue posing a high level of uncertainty for next few years trading as solicitors firms sector responds with restructuring, mergers and acquisitions.”
- “Since Oct 23 Fixed Recoverable Costs (FRC) apply to Fast Track cases where Vehicle Damage value is between £10k and £25k. A new Intermediate Track for cases with a value between £25k and £100k was also created together with Complexity Banding that defines the level of fees entitled in each stage of the litigation process.”
- “Material decisions taken by the Board in the year include approval of forecast and strategies, the signature of agreements for new sources of claims and the signature of new protocol agreements with insurers.”
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
