Review Engagement of Ethimo UK Limited's Set of Statutory Accounts, Year Ended 31 Dec 2024
As the accountant and member of the Institute of Financial Accountants (IFA), we confirm that we have been professionally engaged to conduct a review of the unaudited financial statements of Ethimo UK Limited for the year ended 31 December 2024. We confirm that our work has been undertaken in accordance with the IFA’s professional guidelines and Code of Ethics (based on the IESBA Code), which require integrity, independence, objectivity, and professional competence; and the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2400 (Revised): “Engagements to Review Historical Financial Statements”, as endorsed by international best practice.
Accounting Standards Applied
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 applicable to small companies, and FRS 102 Section 1A (“The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland”).
Inventory Accounting Policy – Matter to Emphasise
Our review noted that the company’s accounting policy for inventory (stocks) does not fully comply with FRS 102 Section 13 (Inventory), particularly with respect to the allocation and recording of inventory items. In fact, certain inventory items appear to have been recorded in the accounts when they should not have been recognised at all under the relevant accounting standards. As a result, material misstatements exist in the financial statements for the year under review in that regard. The company’s inventory policy must be revised and corrected for future periods to ensure full compliance and accurate presentation.
Other Matters
No further matters require emphasis. Subject to the above, the accounts otherwise present fairly under FRS 102 Section 1A and relevant UK small companies’ legislation.
Conclusion
This note is issued in line with IFA member obligations and international standards. The only significant matter to stress is the planned revision of the inventory accounting policy in the subsequent financial statements.
