Going concern

Affirmed

“The LLP meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through the use of cash reserves. The Group prepares a detailed annual budget each year for the forthcoming financial year. The budget for this year has been determined based on an assessment of future Group income and it assumes an operational cost base at an appropriate level to support the budgeted income, plus some provision for continued investment in projects that are deemed critical for the development of the business. The profit and cash flow forecast has then been stress tested to assess the resilience of the business and to identify any applicable mitigating factors. The Group has continued to perform well during the first part of the 2025/26 financial year with trading and cash flow being in line with the levels budgeted. Based upon their assessment of the Group's position described above, the members have a reasonable expectation that the LLP and the Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future despite the current uncertain economic climate. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

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
