Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“The Directors believe that the Company operates with satisfactory prospects of future cash flows and has little exposure to credit, liquidity or other financial risk. A cash flow forecast for the next 12 months from the date of these Annual Report and Financial Statements prepared by management has indicated that the Company will have sufficient cash assets to be able to meet its debts as and when they are due. As a result, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for 12 months from the date of signing of this Annual Report and Financial Statements. The ultimate parent undertaking of the Company, MSCI Inc., has also provided a letter of support to the Company effective for a period of 12 months from the date of signing of the Annual Report and Financial Statements. Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”

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
