Audit & accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- AAB Group Accountants Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company's ultimate parent undertaking, GFL SPV Limited, has indicated its intention to provide funding in order to enable the company to continue trading and meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from issuance of the financial statements. The director has considered the cashflow forecasts for the parent undertaking and consider that GFL SPV Limited has the resources to provide this support if required. Accordingly, the directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “During 2024 the company was satisfied with the level of profit achieved. Profitability was lower than 2023 primarily due to increased staff costs and the increased cost of leasing vehicles. Salaries were raised to ensure the retention of the highly talented staff within the company along with an increase in the number of employees.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
