- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors anticipate that the Cinven Group will operate profitably in the coming year. Although significant systematic uncertainties currently exist, particularly in relation to the combined economic impact of the inflationary pressures in UK and Europe, and global conflicts, the Group has sufficient resources and as a consequence directors believe that Cinven Group is well placed to manage the business risk. Based on this assessment, the directors have therefore assessed that the Cinven Group will have sufficient financial resources to meet its obligations for the foreseeable future, which is at least 12 months from the date of signing. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.”

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
