Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 101
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Deloitte LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Having a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least the next 12 months from the date these financial statements were approved, the directors consider it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “To meet the financing requirements of the group, in 2024 the company repaid $3,354 million debt securities at spot rate of which $1,300 million was related to hybrid bond (debt instruments with no maturity date) buybacks and $2,054 million was related to debt maturities. During the year, there were new bond issuances amounting to $5,366 million (bond $1,514 million; hybrid bond $3,852 million) at spot rate. The foreign exchange losses on bonds were $1,293 million, which was fully offset by $1,293 million foreign exchange gains on deposits receivables, as the company places all proceeds from external bond issuances as deposits with BP International Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of BP p.l.c. There was a net increase in commercial papers during the year of $44 million.”

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
