- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have adopted the going concern basis for preparation of the financial statements of the Company and the UK subsidiaries of CPRT LLP, referred to as the UK Group. The UK Group is managed centrally and is supported by the main trading entity Copart UK Limited, as such the going concern assessment has been conducted on a UK Group basis. The Directors have considered the changing global macroeconomic environment on the business and the appropriateness of the going concern assessment for the period through to July 2027. The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the UK Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the going concern assessment period through to July 2027. Accordingly, the financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis.”

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
