Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 101
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Deloitte LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors believe that preparing the Financial Statements on the going concern basis is appropriate given the interdependencies between the company and its parent, Yorkshire Water Services Limited. The company is a financing company, and Yorkshire Water guarantees all borrowings. Directors challenged and scrutinised the ability of Yorkshire Water to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “For the year ended 31 March 2025 the company made a loss after taxation of £4,295,000 (2024: profit of £2,276,000) primarily due to the increase of the credit loss provision.”
- “As required by IFRS 9 the company has recognised an expected credit loss provision of £5,467,000 (2024: £1,172,000). The provision is based on an estimated probability of default of Yorkshire Water which increased during the year.”
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
