Audit & accounting basis

Accounting basis: FRS 101
Reporting scope: Standalone (parent only)
Auditor: Ernst & Young LLP
Audit opinion: Unqualified (clean)
Going concern: Affirmed
“Having assessed the principal risks to liquidity and solvency for the Company, the directors have concluded that there are no material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Company's financial ability to continue as a going concern and they have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence until at least 30 June 2026 and that therefore it is appropriate to adopt a going concern basis for the preparation of the financial statements, and accordingly these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

“Syndicate 4444's allocated capacity for the 2025 year of account has increased to £2,550m (2024: £2,000m).”
“Following recommendations by the Reserving Forum, the Board at their meeting held 26 February 2024, authorised the closure of the 2021 and prior years of account of Syndicate 4444 by way of reinsurance to close into the 2022 year of account of Syndicate 4444.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
