Audit & accounting basis

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors consider this to be appropriate due to the nature of the Company's structure and charge out model. The Company has the ability to receive temporary liquidity shortfall cover from related companies when required. The Company also can request funding from their parent entity. This ensures that the Company will be able to meet their obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future. The signing of a 10-year property lease in 2021 corroborates the importance of the Company's role in the Group. After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for. at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “On 10 October 2024 a stock transfer was executed by Hannover Finance (UK) Limited in respect of the transfer of 300,000 ordinary shares of £1.00 each in the capital of Hannover Services (UK) Limited to Hannover Rück SE.”

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
