Audit & accounting basis

- Auditor
- RSM UK Audit LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The group has prepared detailed forecasts and cash flows which indicate it will continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due, including in relation to debt repayments. This surplus will provide the liquidity required for opportunities or challenges in the current climate of uncertainty. In assessing whether the going concern basis is appropriate, the directors take into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. A range of forecast scenarios has been modelled, and after careful consideration, the directors reasonably expect the company to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future based on these profit and cash flow projections. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.”

Significant events
- “Fluctuations in currency markets continue to impact both revenues and profits, most notably the value of Pound Sterling against the Euro and US Dollar.”
- “The group's bank loans (note 19) are denominated in Euros and US Dollars to provide a natural hedge with the majority of the group's revenues which are denominated in Euros and US Dollars.”
- “The group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, including the transaction risk relating to commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities in currencies other than reporting currency and translation risk in respect of the operations and net assets of investments in foreign operations.”
- “The group's main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings (note 19). Borrowings obtained at variable rates expose the company to interest rate risk due to movements in the EURIBOR and SOFR rates.”

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
