- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The widely publicised food price increases and catering staff shortages have been a challenge to all catering companies. Connect has worked hard to ensure these issues have not affected our customers and continue to deliver freshly prepared food every day. Connect has worked closely with suppliers to keep costs to a minimum and we have increased training for the Chefs.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
