Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- IFRS
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Magma Audit LLP (part of the Dains Group)
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company has net assets and net current assets and can therefore support itself for the foreseeable future. The use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate because, in the opinion of the directors, there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the company to continue as a going concern.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
