Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Ecovis Wingrave Yeats LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Given the existence of the exploitation agreement, the fact the company has positive net assets and because the directors have assessed the funding needs for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and taking account of reasonably possible downsides the company will have sufficient funds to continue in operation for at least 12 months from the date of the approval of the financial statements and have therefore prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Under an Exploitation Agreement effective 1 July 2002 Warner Chappell Music International Limited, a fellow subsidiary undertaking, accepted the benefit and burden of the company's rights and obligations under its current and future contracts with third parties.”
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
