Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements ("the going concern period").”

Significant events

• “In February 2023, Experian's appeal to the First Tier Tribunal against the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) Enforcement Notice from 2018 was substantially successful. The Tribunal set aside the eight requirements from the ICO's Enforcement Notice. It issued a substitute enforcement notice which contained the requirement that if Experian continues to use data from certain public data sources, it must notify those whose data has been received only from those public data sources of its data processing. On 23 April 2024, the Upper Tier Tribunal rejected in full the ICO's appeal, affirming in all respects the FTT decision.”

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
