Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts
- Accounting basis
- FRS 101
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Venture House Business Service Limited
- Audit opinion
- Qualified
- Going concern
- Material uncertainty disclosed
“We draw attention to the going concern paragraph in the basis of preparation accounting policy which explains that the group is winding down its operations and therefore the director does not consider it to be appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Accordingly the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern.”

Significant events
- “Following a decision in March 2020 to have the group not take on new contracts any more, the companies in the group, including the company, have begun to wind down their operations. Given the long-term nature of some of the group's contracts, this process is expected to take several years.”
