- Accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Hazlewoods LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors do not consider there to be significant risk to the going concern of the Company. The Company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through free cash of its subsidiaries. The Company's forecasts and projections, covering a period of at least 12 months from the approval of these financial statements, and taking into account plausible downside scenarios, show that the Company should be able to repay its debts as they become due and payable. The Directors therefore have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

Significant events
- “During the period under review, a non-audit service, prohibited by the FRC's Ethical Standard because the Company is classified as an Other Entity of Public Interest by that Standard, was inadvertently provided. Upon becoming aware of the breach, an internal review was undertaken and the directors of Linnaeus Veterinary Limited were informed. The breach related to the provision of advisory services in respect of a disposal of one of the company's veterinary practices, for which our fees have been waived.”
