Wise Owl Consultants Limited |
Statement of Director's Responsibilities |
|
|
The director is responsible for preparing the report and accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
|
Company law requires the director to prepare accounts for each financial year. Under that law the director has elected to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these accounts, the director is required to: |
● |
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
● |
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
● |
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
|
The director is responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable him to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |

Independent auditors' report |
to the members of Wise Owl Consultants Limited |
|
We have audited the accounts of Wise Owl Consultants Limited for the year ended 31 March 2014 which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, the Balance Sheet and the related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and the Financial Reporting Standard For Smaller Entities (effective January 2015) (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice applicable to Smaller Entities). |
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |
Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Director's Responsibilities, the director is responsible for the preparation of the accounts and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the accounts in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board's (APB's) Ethical Standards for Auditors. |
In accordance with the exemption provided by APB Ethical Standard - Provisions Available for Smaller Entities (Revised), we have prepared and submitted the company’s returns to the tax authorities and assisted with the preparation of the accounts. |
Scope of the audit of the accounts |
A description of the scope of an audit of financial statements is provided on the APB’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditscopeukprivate |
|
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
In our opinion the information given in the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the accounts are prepared is consistent with the accounts. |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
● |
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
● |
the accounts are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
● |
certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
● |
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or |
● |
the directors were not entitled to prepare the accounts in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemption in preparing the directors’ report and take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a strategic report. |

Going concern |

The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis, however this may not be appropriate as at the balance sheet date the company had net liabilities of £8,387. However the director feels it is appropriate as included within other creditors is £1,211,584 due to the ultimate controlling party who have indicated that they will continue to support the company. |
