- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis as the directors have prepared detailed budgets for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the accounts which show that Carlisle Security Services Limited is able to meet all of its liabilities as they fall due. However, it is acknowledged that there are global and UK inflation pressures on prices and wages. The directors have reviewed the likely impacts of these and produced a detailed going concern stress test for the Company. Having completed this and taking in to consideration the financing position of the Company, the directors are confident of being able to trade for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Carlisle approved the implementation of a new CRM system to improve the consistency, transparency and quality of customer and operational data across the Group, with regard to long-term value creation and the importance of strong stakeholder relationships.”
