Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 101 Reduced Disclosure Framework
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Ernst & Young LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The use of going concern is based on the strength of the Company's existing capital and liquidity reserves on a standalone basis. DTCL continues to hold sufficient regulatory capital and reserves, which stands at £17.1m with £15.2m in surplus capital and Regulatory Capital ratio of 892% as at December 2025.”
Significant events
- “Geopolitical uncertainties, including ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, as well as tensions concerning China, are not anticipated to have a significant impact on DTCL's revenues. DTCL has proactively restricted new issuance from Russian-nexus clients since 2016, resulting in a book that is now in runoff to maturity.”
- “The FCA approved a change in control on 30 September 2025 pursuant to which Deutsche Holdings (Luxembourg) S.a.r.l. would own 100% of the Company's shares. Following this approval, all of the Company's shares were transferred on 10 November 2025 from DBIGB to Deutsche Holdings (Luxembourg) S.a.r.l..”
- “No dividends have been proposed or declared this year (2024: 2,139k).”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
