Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102 §1A
- Reporting scope
- Consolidated group
- Auditor
- Moore Kingston Smith LLP
- 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 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 group's and parent 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. At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company has a service agreement in place with Cultural Experiences Abroad LLC (the parent company of its parent company) that is expected to return the company to profitability. The directors have also received written guarantees from the directors of Cultural Experiences Abroad LLC that they will not seek repayment of amounts owing to them totalling $24,443,710, until the company has sufficient resources to do so. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events
- “The financial year of the company was shortened from 30 April 2025 to 31 December 2024. Accordingly, the current financial statements are prepared for the 8 month period from 1st May 2024 to 31st December 2024. The comparative figures are for the year ended 30 April 2024. This was changed to align the financial year end with the ultimate parent company.”
