Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The Group's forecasts and projections show that the Group should trade profitably in future years. In particular, the Group has a significant level of financial resources, and has no bank debt or other financial liability with any restrictive or financial covenant. It also has long established relationships with a large number of clients, advisers and insurance underwriters across a diverse geographical area with no significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty. As a consequence, the Directors believe that the Group is well placed in its sector to manage its business risks successfully, to have the expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue trading successfully, and to fully comply with its regulatory requirements for the forthcoming future. Consequently, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-09-30 vs 2023-09-30

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
