Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Just Audit Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have reviewed their forecasts of future activity and remain confident in their reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Although the loans from the parent undertakings are repayable on demand, the parent undertakings have no intention to require imminent repayment. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “During the period the company became part of the Gallagher Investments Limited group of companies. As a consequence of the change the year end of the company was changed to 30 April to align with other group members.”
- “On 3rd October 2024 the directors declared and paid a dividend of £85,000,000.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
