Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- BDO LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Standard UK has sufficient levels of surplus capital over its regulatory capital requirements to remain a going concern over the period of run off. It also holds a claims handling provision which has been assessed to be sufficient to cover the costs of running off historical claims, with claims handling and operational costs being covered by its 90% quota share reinsurance.”
Significant events
- “On the 20 February 2023, Standard UK became wholly owned by NorthStandard Limited ("NorthStandard UK"), a UK insurer which is now Standard UK's ultimate parent and the ultimate controlling party of the NorthStandard group ("the Group").”
- “Standard UK was placed into run-off on 20 February 2024, with the Company's book of business being renewed through NorthStandard UK.”
- “The Company is currently exploring legally permissible methods of transferring its insurance business with the intention of eventually winding up Standard UK.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
