Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- RSM UK Audit LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis as the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue its operational existence for the foreseeable future. The parent company AIFS Inc. has given written assurance that it will provide the necessary financial support. The directors consider that the going concern basis of accounting remains appropriate.”
Significant events
- “Increased demand following the COVID-19 pandemic led to successful years in 2023 and 2024, now returning to normal enrolment levels.”
- “The company was severely impacted during the last global pandemic but has since recovered; however, future variants, the Ukrainian/Russia conflict, Middle Eastern tensions, and a new US administration could impact travel-based business.”
- “Sir Cyril Taylor passed away in January 2018; in December 2023, the majority of AIFS Inc 'A' shares were transferred to a US limited liability company for the benefit of The Cyril Taylor Charitable Foundation, a UK Charitable company.”

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
