- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. Global Payments Inc has indicated its intention to continue to make available such funds as are needed by the company, and that it does not intend to seek repayment of the amounts currently due to the group during the going concern assessment period. The amount due and outstanding by the group entities as at the date of approval, is £24.5m. As with any company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so. 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 and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “During FY 2023, it was established that the company had not fully complied with statutory and court rules regarding collection of monies owed by customers, including, the formatting of prescribed notification letters to merchants. Management undertook a comprehensive review of all customers impacted, with the support of specialist legal and regulatory advice. The FCA has been notified and process of returning any monies owed to relevant customers is expected to be completed before the end of the FY2025 reporting period.”

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
