- 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 company's turnover increased by 9% following an increase in sales to new customers along with new modules. Pre tax profit fell to £4,392,850 (2023: £5,170,181) following strengthening its senior management team along with investing in its development capacity to modernise and expand its product range, along with upgrading its customer support and account management activities. The business also incurred re-structuring costs following the strengthening of the senior team.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
