Going concern

Affirmed

“The Directors have reasonable expectations, having made appropriate enquiries, that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Directors 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 the date on which the financial statements are authorised for issue. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “This year, QBE EO won Commercial Lines Insurer of the Year at the Insurance Times Awards 2024. QBE EO also picked up the Silver for the Diversity and Inclusion Excellence Award for our commitment to ensuring everyone at QBE felt like they belong.”

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
