Audit & accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- A.C.T. Audit Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. To satisfy themselves that the going concern basis remains appropriate the Directors have requested and been granted a comfort letter from Parent Company, KIKO S.p.A, that the Distribution Agreement will be in force and non-cancellable for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and that Parent company will provide additional financial support to enable the Company to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.”
Significant events
- “Investment into our people remained a key priority with our minimum wage increasing to £13.00 from April for all employees regardless of their age group and work location.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
