- 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
- “In Sept 2024 Avantis has also undertaken an independent review and due diligence exercise to ensure that an assessment was made by third party on strengths and opportunities areas for improvement to ensure the management team could take stock after an intense period of growth, and re-baseline strategic plans for the future.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
