What happened in Q1 2022?"As we came towards our year-end, the business had just completed a management investment exercise which involved a number of moving parts, and in particular a share scheme that had a number of complexities to it. Grant Thornton were able to take the pressure off a complicating factor in our accounts preparation in a year that the basis of preparation changed, and support our year-end process by producing clear and easy-to-follow accounting papers with accounting entries laid out, and judgements set out plainly for the auditors to review. They delivered the work as promised and the team turned round queries quickly – a pleasure to work with."
