Material uncertainty over going concern
The concept of going concern assumes that a company's functions and services will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. This group is a 100% owned Teckal company of Peterborough City Council, established to undertake and deliver services that are essential to the local community. The company and its immediate holding company, are reliant on the continued financial support of its shareholder and parent, and this is expected to continue for the foreseeable future to enable it to continue to operate and to meet its liabilities as they fall due. However, the company is also reliant on the Council continuing to contract with them for the services provided. Following a decision by Council members to bring some services back into the Council, Peterborough City Council have issued a termination notice for the majority of activities undertaken by the holding company, Peterborough Limited to finish by 31 March 2026. As stated in Note 1.3, these events or conditions, along with other matters indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
