Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which the Directors believe to be appropriate for the following reasons. The Company has a growing pipeline of projects from which fees will be earned and the Directors have prepared a cashflow forecast for the next twelve months to assess going concern and this indicates the Company should generate a cash surplus and will be able to trade and meet its ongoing obligations as they fall due.”
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
