Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- UKIAS
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company has adequate financial resources and no recourse to external borrowing. The Company has sufficient cash resources, which are monitored closely on an actual and prospective basis, and has no concerns over the ability to meet its commitments as they fall due over the foreseeable future. Given the Company's operations, financial position and outlook, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources and is well placed to manage its risks and continue in operational existence for at least twelve months from the date of this report. Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Company's financial statements.”
Significant events
- “During the year, the Company has and continues to carry out a Commercial and Target Operating Model review to identify the efficiencies that can be captured with the introduction of new technology and business processes.”
- “On 20 June 2023 the UK substantively enacted Pillar Two global minimum tax rules as part of the OECD work on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS). The legislation took effect for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2024. The Pillar Two rules are subject to a Group Revenue threshold of €750m being exceeded in two of the previous four years. Based on this threshold the Company is likely to be subject to these rules for the first time in the year ended 31 December 2025.”

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
