Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- KPMG LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Consequently, the directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements ("the going concern period") and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “On 31st December 2024, Demica Holdings Limited was acquired by FIS (Fidelity National Information Services, Inc.), which has resulted in a change in the ultimate parent company from Demica Jersey Limited to FIS, a leading global provider of financial technology solutions. This strategic acquisition is expected to further support the company's long-term growth by leveraging FIS's global infrastructure, client base, and complementary capabilities.”
- “On March 3, 2025, employees of Demica Limited vacated their existing office premises and moved to a new office owned by the ultimate parent company, Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. As a result of this relocation, the lease for the vacated office has become an onerous lease. The financial impact of this onerous lease, of £2.65m, will be further evaluated and reported in subsequent periods, as the company seeks to mitigate the costs related to the lease obligations. From 1st April 2025, all Demica Limited employees have been TUPED over and are now employed by FIS Capital Markets UK Limited.”

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
