- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Board's assessment of going concern is underpinned in Company forecasts that model severe market shocks to ensure the company could continue to satisfy ongoing operating, liquidity and regulatory capital requirements. Based on their assessment, the Board is satisfied that the Company has and will maintain sufficient resources to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “On 1 February 2024 the Company transferred mandates to another Aberdeen Group company, later sold to Patria Investments on 26 April 2024 for a cash consideration of £3,273k. Prior to the transfer, no intangible net book value was held on the Company's balance sheet in relation to these mandates and consequently the financial results include a gain on disposal of intangibles assets (£3,273k) in relation to these transfers.”
