- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts in order to assess going concern which indicate that, taking account of reasonably plausible downsides, the Group and Company will have sufficient funds, to meet its liabilities as they fall due during the going concern assessment period. In making the assessment, the Directors have considered the potential impact of rising costs and a reduction in attendance at events and have reviewed the resources available to the Company. ... Consequently, the Directors are confident that the Company will have adequate resources to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore accordingly the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
