Audit & accounting basis

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company has considered the going concern basis of preparation of the Company's financial statements as at 31 December 2024 and for a period of 12 months from the date of authorising these financial statements for issue. This consideration included the factors likely to affect its future performance as well as the Company's principal risks and uncertainties. After performing the going concern assessment for a period of 12 months from the date of authorisation of the financial statements, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has sufficient resources to continue in operational existence. Accordingly, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “On 7 January 2025, a series of devastating wildfires started in Los Angeles, which quickly spiralled out of control due to drought conditions and strong winds. The event is expected to trigger material losses which will lead to reduced profit commissions recognised by the Company on its 2024 year of account.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
