Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted, this conclusion is not a guarantee as to the company's ability to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “During the latter part of 2024, the Syndicate increased its holding of medium to longer term government and treasury bonds, with purchases mainly of US treasury bonds.”
- “Geopolitical tensions remain high, and there remains the potential for further inflation shocks, in particular from disruption to supply chains and energy price increases arising from ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine.”
- “Following Hamas attack on Israel and Israel's subsequent retaliation in Gaza, there are concerns that the conflict could escalate due to the breakdown of previously negotiated ceasefire deals.”
- “Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, geopolitical tensions have increased, notwithstanding the Trump administrations effort on drawing an end to the conflict.”
- “The company is also monitoring the possible economic impact of a possible trade war between the United States and other countries, including the EU and the UK. At present the extent, if any of the imposition of trade tariffs is unknown, however, the threat of tariffs is real and is likely to be imposed during 2025.”

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
