Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The Board has assessed the firm's financial obligations which fall within the next 12 months, including the continued availability of the facilities, from the date the accounts are approved, and has concluded that the firm has more than adequate liquidity to meet these as they fall due, and sufficient capital to comply with its ongoing regulatory requirements. Further, the Board has reassessed whether there are material uncertainties of the firm's ability to continue as a going concern under the current economic environment and have concluded for the 12 months following the signing of these financial statements that the firm remains a going concern.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
