- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In considering whether it continues to be appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis the Directors have considered the impact of continued inflationary pressures, higher VPAG payment rates and the war between Ukraine and Russia and the conflict in Gaza on the operational and financial pressures of the company, and concluded that the ABPI has sufficient financial reserves, income and expenditure controls to avoid any liquidity issues for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.”

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
