Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Crowe U.K. LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the members' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the LLP's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “In 2022 we announced our ambition to become a net zero organisation.”
- “During 2023 we commenced a project with a third party to establish the firms' emissions under scopes 1, 2 and 3. With this data we aim to look at our internal procedures with the goal of reducing our controllable emissions. This will be an ongoing project.”
- “The first step on our carbon neutral journey commenced in February 2024. Working with a retreat in Norfolk we committed to supporting a rewilding project with funding for native trees alongside a support programme to maintain the area with staff and partner time. This project offsets the uncontrollable carbon output of the business.”
