Audit & accounting basis

Accounting basis: FRS 102
Reporting scope: Standalone (parent only)
Auditor: Ernst & Young LLP
Audit opinion: Unqualified (clean)
Going concern: Affirmed
“The directors therefore have a reasonable expectation that the company can continue as going concern to 31 December 2026, which is at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.”

Significant events

“The ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, as well as Israel and Hamas, pose wide-ranging challenges.”
“The UK cost of living crisis has also led to increased costs and inflation.”

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
