Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Hurst Accountants Limited
- 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
- “During 2024, we have continued to see a demonstrable change in GP workforce supply. This has had a positive impact on rota fill-rates.”
- “In December 2022, we became a Real Living Wage Employer and invested in a number of Employee Benefit schemes that support Mastercall becoming an employer of choice'.”
- “It was hoped that the new Provider Selection Regime, which became statute (PSR) in January 2024, would see a move away from competitive market procurement in preference to 'direct award' based on qualifying criteria. This would provide stability for the incumbent provider and reduce lengthy and costly procurements. However, unfortunately and perhaps due to the severe financial challenges the system is facing, commissioners seem to be favouring open market procurements and/or short-term extensions of existing contracts.”
- “HMRC has initiated enquiries into the employment status of a substantial number of doctors engaged by the company. An unfavourable outcome could lead to significant financial liabilities and have broader implications for the company's future business model.”

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
