“The limited liability partnership continually forecasts and projects its financial position, results and cash flows and performs sensitivity analysis of these for different scenarios, which include a severe but plausible downside scenario. After considering these different scenarios, the members of the limited liability partnership have at least a reasonable expectation that the limited liability partnership has adequate resources to operate within the level of its current facilities and continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements.”
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
