- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Members' 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 limited liability partnership'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. Accordingly, the Members have continued to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of these financial statements.”
