- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAS (UK) require us to report to you where: the members' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or the members have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the limited liability partnership's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The business reports another year of strong growth with reported turnover of £80m, reflecting a 12% increase on the prior year. The firm has won new clients alongside growing existing client relationships across its key sectors and in accordance with its strategy of acting for clients who work to make a difference.”
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
