Going concern

Affirmed

“The Directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis and have a reasonable expectation that the global Group will continue to support Abt Britain Limited and its subsidiaries. Abt Associates Australia Pty Ltd has confirmed its current intention to provide financial support for at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements to enable it to meet its liabilities as they fall due.”

Significant events

• “Following the UK Government's announcement in February 2025 of a material reduction in UK overseas development assistance funding, the company initiated actions during April 2025 to align its cost base with the scale of its existing contractual activity and to discontinue growth investment. Staff consultations concluded during April 2025, following which staffing levels were significantly reduced, with a small team retained to support the performance of existing contracts.”

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
