Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Armstrong Watson Audit Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Growth in passenger volumes and revenue has been driven by year-on-year improvements in service reliability and punctuality. There has been constant improvement in the vehicle fleet through group investment and this, along with controlling the impact of a national labour shortage, is helping to contribute to the consistency of service delivery. We operate 99.5% of scheduled mileage on a daily basis.”
