Audit & accounting basis

- FRS 102
- Auditor
- Warrener Stewart
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have at the time of approving the financial statements a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company has prepared forecasts for the next twelve months to consider both the going concern of the company and regulatory capital requirements. Based on these forecasts the company remains a going concern and meets its regulatory requirements as they fall due.”
Significant events
- “The Company made a pre-tax loss of £442,246 compared to a loss of £36,068 (as restated) in 2024 and had net assets of £1,465,512 at the balance sheet date (2024: Net assets of £1,907,758, as restated).”
- “The Directors restructured the business during the year The Company is in the process of changing its custodian internationally which will provide a much wider global distribution network, whilst developing new 'front end tools'.”
- “The Company also minimises this risk whenever possible through diversification and broadening of its service proposition. To this end, the Company has developed more 'direct-to-client' services, and developed platforms for new client types, such as a securitisation platform, which will move the Company towards a multi-distribution channel business.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
