- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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. The directors, therefore, have made an informed judgement, at the time of approving the financial statements, that there is a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “Following the year end, on 3 April 2025, the Burnsall Associates Limited Employee Ownership Trust was created, providing beneficial ownership to the employees of the Company. Further details on the transaction and change in ownership can be found in notes 26 and 28 to the accounts.”
- “Since the year end the Company has paid equity dividends on its ordinary shares of £10,000,000.”
