- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future (and at least a period of 12 months beyond the date of approval of these financial statements). This is based on their assessment of the trading position of the company and their consideration of the impact of external factors. Having considered these factors, they have concluded that there is no significant impact to the going concern status of the company, thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “further growth of the BCS Group with the addition of specialist divisions focused on land intelligence, sustainability and utilities strategy to offer complementary services and target similar markets.”
- “Our growth and the wish to continue to redefine our ways of working drove a move to newly renovated and larger office spaces in Frankfurt, Berlin, Vienna and Milan, allowing BCS to further foster its collaborative approach.”
- “The Company continues to invest in well-being programmes and mental health support for all our employees, whilst planning extensive learning and development programmes as we enter 2026.”
