Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Kreston Reeves LLP
- 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
- “During the year the client underwent a process of aligning it's policies with those of the group. As part of this process, there was a change in the recognition of certain pass through costs in respect of revenue. This has resulted in a £5,571,681 reduction in turnover and equivalent reduction in cost of sales.”
