Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 101
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company Directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis, placing reliance on the letter of support, as from the perspective of the Company, its operations, risks and uncertainties are integrated with those of the Group and so having reviewed the Group's plans and available financial facilities, including the modelling of a severe but plausible downside scenario and available mitigating actions, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The Group's projections have also been stress tested, considering performance against prior year forecasts, the impact of a plausible increase change in interest rates and a reduced cash flow conversion achievement. Specific measures if determined necessary would help preserve cash and maintain sufficient liquidity to continue operations within its going concern forecast horizon.”

Significant events
- “Refinancing of External debt: On 13 September 2023, the Group of which the Company is a part of, successfully refinanced its existing credit facilities. This involved repaying $3,582,000,000 and €940,000,000 in first lien term loans, $1,245,000,000 in second lien term loans, and a $375,000,000 committed Multi-Currency Revolving Credit Facility, along with the accrued interest by entering into a new refinancing agreement consisting of $4,820,000,000 of debt and a Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF") of $500,000,000, both maturing in September 2029.”
- “LIBOR transition: On 13 September 2023, the Group successfully refinanced its external debt by borrowing in USD and switching to SOFR plus a margin as the new interest rate benchmark, thereby overcoming the challenges posed by the cessation of LIBOR.”
- “Ukraine War: There has been minimal impact on the results of the Company due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and consequent imposition of sanctions on Russian financial institutions and Russian individuals who have significant influence on our customers.”
- “Events after the reporting date: Subsequent to the reporting date, the Finastra Limited Group experienced a leadership change with the appointment of Chris Walters as the new Chief Executive Officer, effective from 6 January 2025.”
- “Post year-end, the Finastra Limited Group management became aware that PT Finastra International Financial Systems in Indonesia, a related party, is unable to remit £3,577,658 to the Company due to the loss of supporting documentation.”

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
