- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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 original financial statements were authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “At present we see no significant risk to the business due to our client mix, profitability, renewed staffing structure, overhead control and long term contract sustainability. We only see the potential of major political and economic instability at a global level to be our major risk into the year ended 2026.”
