Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“Having made due enquiries, the Directors believe they can reasonably expect that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence on a standalone basis for at least 12 months from 16 April 2025 (the date of approval of the financial statements). Accordingly, the Directors have adopted the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. While the Directors would expect Aviva to continue to deliver long term value from the Company's ongoing operations they note however, that it is beyond their control as to whether Aviva would undertake any restructuring of the Group's legal entities. Therefore, given the potential change in control, the Directors consider these conditions to constitute a material uncertainty (as defined under IAS 1) which may cast significant doubt over the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Notwithstanding this uncertainty, the Directors are satisfied that the going concern basis remains appropriate for the preparation of the financial statements.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
