Mears Group has been forced to delay the release of its financial results due to the “unanticipated” absence of a senior auditor.
The housing and social care provider said its auditor Ernst & Young LLP (EY) had told it a senior member of staff, responsible for signing the Gloucester-based group’s accounts, would not be available to complete the process for its 2022 financials, which were due to be released on March 30.
Bosses at the AIM-listed business said the hold-up was “not because of any concerns” relating to last year’s financial statements.
