“The financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting.The directors have carried out a going concern assessment. Forecasts through to February 2028 are prepared for the company. These forecasts support the assessment that the company will continue to be able to meet its obligations as they fall due throughout the period of at least twelve months from the date of issue of these financial statements. The company also participates in the DHL Group's centralised treasury arrangements and so shares banking arrangements with its parent and other group undertakings. The company can draw on these arrangements for funds should the need to access a short-term working capital facility arise. Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
