- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company's forecasts and projections, taking account of anticipated developments within the business and reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the company is expected to maintain sufficient financial headroom through its operating cash flows and cash resources to enable it to continue meeting its liabilities as they fall due in the normal course of business for at least the next twelve months following approval of these financial statements. 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.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
