- Ernst & Young LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 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
- “On August 1, 2024, AXA announced that it had entered into an exclusive negotiation to sell its asset manager AXA Investment Managers to BNP Paribas for cash proceeds of €5.1 billion.”
- “Following the completion of the information-consultation procedure with the employee representative bodies of both AXA and BNP Paribas, AXA announced on December 21, 2024, that it had entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with BNP Paribas Cardif in relation to the transaction.”

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
