- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. They have conducted a review of the trading position and cash flow projections for the foreseeable future, considering recent uncertainty created by global events.”
Significant events
- “The biggest threat to global markets stability is undoubtedly the conflicts emerging worldwide. The situation is rapidly evolving, with new sanctions issued regularly which require close monitoring. The insurance industry is affected across a number of classes, in particular aviation, political violence, and financial lines (trade credit).”
- “At this stage it is not possible to determine the total extent of any loss. However, we can say that there is no exposure that threatens the solvency of the business.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
