- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company currently relies on continued support, either directly or indirectly, from the parent company to ensure the Company continues to operate as a going concern. Along with the support of the Company's parent and having considered the forecasted cash flows of the Company for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, the Directors consider that the Company will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due and therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “On 1 May 2024, LRQA Verification Limited entered into an asset purchase agreement to transfer all its assets and liabilities to LRQA Limited for a consideration of £13.3m, as part of a group restructuring.”
- “Following the sale of the trade and assets of LRQA Verification to LRQA Limited on 1 May 2024, as at 31 December 2024, the only remaining asset is the receivable from LRQA Limited relating to this transaction.”

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
