Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Xeinadin Audit Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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
- “Trading conditions remained challenging given an election year and uncertainty around MOD spending along with the continued impact of Brexit and the Ukraine crisis and increasing Inflation concerns having all had an impact on material availability and prices, as well as general skilled labour shortages and post covid attitudes towards working routines. The Directors have focused on securing contracts that provided a baseline workload for the staff of the business, whilst limiting exposure to risks of these issues as far as possible.”
- “The company has secured contracts continuing into 2027 since the year end and the Directors are confident of increasing trading activity in the forthcoming years.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
