- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors are satisfied that the Company has the financial resources to manage its business risks and remain operational for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the report and accounts. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “An exceptional provision of £62.2m has, therefore, been recognised in the financial year to March 2025 to reflect the estimated economic outflow in relation to commission arrangements to cover the potential FCA redress scheme, including incremental estimated administrative and resource costs.”
- “The Supreme Court issued its ruling on 1st August 2025 and dismissed the argument relating to bribery and that dealers owed a fiduciary duty to customers. However, the test of unfairness was agreed in one specific case because of the undisclosed commission and its impact on the customer.”
- “Following the ruling, the FCA issued a statement on 3rd August of its intention to consult on a compensation scheme for motor finance customers.”
