A_J_MARSHALL_(HOLDINGS)_L - Accounts

We have audited the financial statements of A J Marshall (Holdings) Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 January 2021 which comprise the balance sheet and notes included thereon. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 105 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the Micro-entities Regime (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements are in all material respects:

•     properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, specifically FRS 105; and

•     prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applied to micro-entities.

Therefore under section 495(3A) of the Companies Act 2006, in our opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 January 2021 and of its profit for the year then ended.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:

• the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or

• the director has not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

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

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

• we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or

• the director was not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the micro-entities exemptions from the requirements to prepare a director's report and strategic report.

The director is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the director determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the director is responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the director either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
