Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- KPMG LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company meets its day to day working capital requirements from Bank balances. The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company relies on the support of Morningstar, Inc., the (ultimate parent company) incorporated in the United States, for its working capital requirements and in order to meet its obligations as they fall due. The directors have received written confirmation from the parent confirming that it will continue to provide support to the Company for existing and future debts and ongoing working capital requirements for at least 12 months from the date of approval of financial statements. Morningstar, Inc. has indicated its intention to continue to make available such funds as are needed by the company during the going concern assessment period. As with any company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so and therefore that can be concluded that financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis.”

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
