Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Knowles Warwick Audit Services Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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 company has recently joined the Fasadgruppen group of companies which offers exciting new opportunities to sectors within the UK façade industry and the opportunity to engage on larger Construction projects acting as a Principal Contractor.”
- “The loss for the year is attributable to one-off exceptional costs incurred due to the change in ownership during the period.”
- “Prospects for the forthcoming year remain buoyant, with multiple projects and pre-construction service contracts being underway, with multiple new awards being in the design, planning, and building control (enveloping BSR application) stages.”
- “There are no post balance sheet events that the directors feel should be brought to the attention of the shareholders.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
