Disclaimer of opinion

Basis for disclaimer opinion

The financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2024 include a disclaimer of opinion.

During the course of our audit of the financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2024, we were unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence in relation to the recoverability of debtors, the completeness of creditors including the potential effect on expenditure and the completeness, cut off and accuracy of income.

To this extent, as the auditor, we cannot confirm whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

Notwithstanding our disclaimer of an opinion on the financial statements, in the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit performed subject to the pervasive limitation described above, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report.

Arising from the limitation of our work referred to above:

• we have not obtained all the information and explanations that we considered necessary for the purpose of our

audit; and

• we were unable to determine whether adequate accounting records have been kept.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

• returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

• the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

• certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

• the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemption in preparing the directors' report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
