- 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 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.”
Significant events
- “The company has invested in a software and hardware upgrade by transferring to Evo MX, a fully integrated accounting package, this will be rolled out in the coming months and will substantially improve the operational efficiency, control systems and data accuracy of our back office functions.”
