- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the members' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. We have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the limited liability partnership's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
