- 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
- “Since the previous year-end, J McCann & Co Ltd experienced a significant ransomware attack on our central servers, leading to the loss of critical accounting and payroll data. This created substantial challenges in maintaining financial reporting and day-to-day operational efficiency.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
