- Spencer Gardner Dickins (Audit Services) Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors believe that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The directors have prepared monthly cash flow forecasts for the Group to 31 July 2027 and tested these for reasonably possible alternative scenarios. Based on this, the Group will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities as they fall due and the directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
