Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The Group has prepared a forecast that has been updated to take into account the potential impacts of political uncertainty and instability in the wider global economy. This has been based upon conservative assumptions and indicates the firm anticipates it will be able to retain sufficient future profits to ensure it is able to meet its regulatory capital requirement as well as its business needs. The forecast has been stress-tested and the directors are confident that the business has sufficient resources to continue to meet its. regulatory capital requirement. Taking that forecasting into consideration, including the nature of the Group and its business, the directors are satisfied that, at the time of approving the accounts, there is a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date that the Annual Report and Accounts are signed. For this reason the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts.”

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
