- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In preparing the financial statements the directors consider it appropriate to use the going concern assumption, which assumes that the Company will continue in operational existence and will have sufficient resources to enable it to meet its debts as and when they fall due for a minimum period of twelve months from the date of signing of the financial statements. The directors therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
