- Nortons Assurance Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 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
- “In light of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and related international sanctions, the Company has continued to monitor potential impacts on its operations. For the year ended 31 August 2025, the Company had no sales to Russia, Belarus or Ukraine, and holds no assets or banking relationships in these countries.”
- “In the context of ongoing tensions in Israel, the Company has assessed the associated risks to its business, operations, and financial condition. The situation has led to delays and cancellations of several projects in the region, particularly in the Homeland Security business unit.”
- “During the fourth quarter of the financial year ended 31 August 2025, the parent company initiated a plan to divest the majority of its Adaptive and Service Assurance (ASA) division to Teleo Capital, a United States-based investment firm specializing in enterprise software and technology businesses. The transaction was formally completed on 10 October 2025. As part of the transaction, approximately 16% of the Company's workforce was transferred to Teleo Capital.”

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
