Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- UK adopted international accounting standards
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Ernst & Young LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements, prepared on the going concern basis, assume that the LLP will generate sufficient working capital to continue operational existence for the foreseeable future. The members have, at the time of approving the financial statements, an expectation that the LLP has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future because they have received an assurance of continuing financial support from the LLP's ultimate controlling entity. Therefore, the LLP continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the limited liability partnership's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “As mentioned in the going concern section of Note 2 (Accounting policies) and in Note 14 (Events after the reporting date), the outlook for 2025 is uncertain in view of the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza and the uncertainties caused by the new US administration's policies concerning tariffs and penalties, but the members have received an assurance of continuing financial support from the ultimate controlling entity and are confident the LLP has sufficient financial resources to withstand the economic impact and to take advantage of the opportunities that will arise as the global economy continues to recover.”
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
