- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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
- “With effect from 1 January 2024 CUAL has entered into a new Managing Agency Agreement with Chubb Capital I Limited (the sole member supporting Syndicate 2488) for the provision of services to Syndicate 2488. Under the new agreement CUAL procures services on behalf of the Syndicate and recharges the Syndicate the full cost of these services plus an arms-length mark-up. The new arrangement in 2024 has increased the turnover of CUAL and the company's profit compared with the prior year.”
- “During 2024 a new positive duty on employers to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment of employees came into force in the UK and the CUAL board reviewed its policies, past complaints of sexual harassment, the investigation and review process and its approach to third parties and training.”

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
