WarningsKeeps companies we fully checked that show none of these serious signs: doubt it can keep going, weak checks on its own accounts, or a notice that its past accounts can't be relied on. One big customer or a new auditor doesn't remove a company: those are only worth knowing. We don't check lawsuits, investigations or debt yet.
