Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- PKF Littlejohn LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors do not consider, therefore, that the Company has any issues with regard to being able to continue to trade as a going concern, and therefore the Company continues to prepare the statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The Company has made commitments under certain contracts to share an element of its future income arising from continuing customer relationships. The Company expects to incur approximately £416,000 with respect to income generated in 2025 (2024: £390,000) under these arrangements. This commitment has been treated as a contingent liability as at 31 December 2024 and not recognised in the financial statements as the amount is dependent on future income that has not yet been earned. This was recognised in the 2023 financial year and has been removed as a prior year adjustment (see note 12).”
- “Disputes may arise from time to time between the Company and individual Members of Lloyd's and their advisers, in the ordinary course of business. Disputes have arisen this year, but no material costs to the Company have resulted and, therefore, the Directors believe that no provision in respect of such matters is required in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.”

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
