Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Deloitte LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“As a wholly-owned subsidiary of the DAC Beachcroft Group the Company benefits from access to Group financing facilities and parental support if required. As a result, the assessment of going concern has been undertaken at the Group level. After making appropriate enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being the period of at least twelve months from the date of signing the financial statements. Thus the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements. The business is cash-generative on an operating basis and is considered by the Directors to be a going concern. The Company has net assets and benefits from the ongoing support of its parent entity, DAC Beachcroft LLP.”
Significant events
- “From 1 March 2024, staff were transferred from DAC Beachcroft Services Limited to DAC Beachcroft Claims Limited under TUPE arrangements.”

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
