Seriously this isn't a standard comment , and I just want the suspension lifted.
I'll walk you through the issues, the auditor has raised;
The auditors could not obtain a financial forecast from management, making it impossible to assess if the company can continue operations.
Lack of future cash flow assurance increases the risk that Caracal Gold may not meet its liabilities or fund ongoing operations.
The company reported net current liabilities of £13.257 million and depends on additional funding to pay off short-term creditors.
The required funding is uncertain due to the absence of financial forecasts, creating risks around Caracal's financial stability.
The auditors were unable to attend the year-end inventory count due to unsettled prior audit fees, meaning they could not confirm the accuracy of inventory levels.
Adjustments, including £642,000 related to Kilimapesa Gold’s payables, were not accurately reflected at the group level.
Errors in lease accounting were identified, with incorrect application of IFRS 16, and not corrected properly under IAS 8.
£152,000 in administration expenses from a subsidiary, Tyacks Limited, could not be verified due to insufficient audit evidence.
Investor warrants were recognized incorrectly under share-based payments instead of financial instruments, as required by IAS 32.
Until these issues are resolved, Caracal Gold is unlikely to satisfy the regulatory and listing requirements for the suspension to be lifted.
