- 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 is appropriate. 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 at least twelve months from authorisation.”
Significant events
- “The directors continue to monitor the level of enquiries, contracts awarded, turnover, gross profit and cash resources, which they consider all to be key performance indicators.”
- “The company is exposed to the usual business risks which the directors believe need to be monitored closely, especially during periods of economic uncertainty. The directors continually assess markets and contracts to identify any changes within the business sector in an attempt to mitigate the impact of any future general risk within the sector impacting upon the company.”
- “Additional to the general business risk within the market place the company is exposed to price risks, credit risks and cash flow associated with selling on credit. These risks are managed through tight credit control procedures, including credit assessments of customers.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
