- 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 recent Covid-19 epidemic hugely reduced the UK travel insurance market from 23 March 2020 during which time the company's revenue from this line of business had been reduced. Since the travel market has returned to normal, we have seen an increase in the revenue back to pre-Covid levels, however any future downturn due to Covid-19, or any future epidemic, has a material risk to the company's profits.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
