- Affirmed
“After making enquiries, the Directors are therefore satisfied that the Company has adequate resources to continue in business for at least the next 12 months and therefore it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements. The Directors have concluded that there are no material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue to apply the going concern basis of accounting.”
Significant events
- “On 13th January 2025 the Company appointed a new Managing Director, Michael Hartig.”
- “2024 saw a number of new regulations come into place that the Company delivered on behalf of its clients. A number of changes were needed to the Company's proposition to be ready for the implementation of Consumer Duty, Confirmation of Payee and new APP fraud rules. All changes required for the various regulatory changes were delivered on time allowing clients to maintain their regulatory compliance.”
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
