Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- UHY Hacker Young
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, with the guaranteed support of Surrey County Council. Thus, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “On 19th March 2026 Surrey County Council Adult Social Care Commissioners announced the result of the procurement notice issued on 12th May 2025. Three of the four Lots were not awarded. The Lot covering the Shared Lives service was awarded to a competitor.”
- “Following negotiations with commissioners regarding the three remaining lots, it was agreed in July 2026 to extend the current contract for one year until June 2027 with an option for a further year until 30th June 2028. This would allow time to renegotiate an entirely new contract with the new unitary authorities that will replace Surrey County Council for the services we provide in the longer term.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
