- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate. The company's cash flows are dependent on the wider Sartorius Group and funding from its members. At the end of each day, any cash held by the company is transferred to the group and the company is in an overdrawn position. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will continue in operation for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
