Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Consolidated (group)
- Auditor
- PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Material uncertainty disclosed
“Nevertheless, the requirement to renegotiate the Group's UK debt facility within the next 12 months and the potential need for uncommitted funds from the Group's investors indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Group's and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, to continue realising their assets and discharging their liabilities in the normal course of business.”
