Going concern

Affirmed

“Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The immediate parent company has changed to Ipsos EMEA Holdings Limited from MORI Limited with effect from 24 October 2024.”
• “The results for the company show a profit for the financial year of £2.3 million (2023: £4.5 million). The decrease in profitability is primarily attributed to the rise in administrative costs.”
• “Turnover of £99.1 million (2023: £101.5 million). Revenue marginally decreased by £2.3 million as compared to last year mainly in Corporate Reputation and Public Affairs service line due to reduced scope of work with some clients.”
• “Administrative expenses increased by £2.5 million, this because of pay rise during the year and extra omnibus work required relating to the general election.”
• “The MPC voted by a majority of 5-4 to reduce Bank Rate by 0.25 percentage points, to 4%, rather than maintaining it at 4.25%.”

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
