Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Bishop Fleming Audit Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have concluded that the financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have assessed this basis with reference to external factors and deemed it to be reasonable. In particular, as detailed in notes 8, 11 and 17 the financial statements include a significant provision in relation to redress that is payable by the company. The directors do not expect redress of this magnitude to re-occur in future years and excluding the redress the underlying operations of the company are positive and the company is profitable. In addition, the directors have and are continuing to take steps to ensure that the company and the group of which it is part will have sufficient continuing liquid resources to enable it to settle its liabilities, including the redress payments, as and when they fall due.”
Significant events
- “In March 2024 the Group had voluntarily agreed with the FCA to abstain from accepting new business, whilst it consolidates recent acquisitions and embeds essential business oversight functions with our new client management framework designed to enhance client service. The Requirement Notice is available on the FCA Register.”
- “The FCA also required that a Skilled Persons Review was commissioned and the resulting report identified areas where the payment of redress to clients may be appropriate.”

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
