Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors consider that the going concern assumption upon which these financials have been prepared continues to be appropriate, due to continuing support from the intermediate parent company, Kantar Group Holdings Ltd. Forecasts and cash flow projections have been produced by the Group, covering the period of 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. These demonstrate the Group has sufficient funding to enable the Company to meet its obligations as they fall due. Following correspondence with Group management, the directors of the Company are satisfied that the Group is committed to invest in this entity as it is considered strategically beneficial to the Group.”

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
