- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have made an assessment of going concern for a period up to 31 July 2026 being at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. In making this assessment, the directors have considered both the Company's current financial position and the inherent risks to its business model. Based on the above, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will have adequate resources to continue its operations for the foreseeable future and thus consider it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The Prudential Long Term Incentive Plan 2023 ("PLTIP") is a nil cost conditional share plan under which the shares which are awarded will be released to participants after three years (the vesting period) to the extent that certain performance conditions have been met.”
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. 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
