Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- PKF Littlejohn LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The biggest threat to global markets stability is undoubtedly the conflicts emerging worldwide. The situation is rapidly evolving, with new sanctions issued regularly which require close monitoring. The insurance industry is affected across a number of classes, in particular aviation, political violence, and financial lines (trade credit), the first two classes of which will have some impact on Syndicate 727. At this stage it is not possible to determine the total extent of any loss. However, we can say that there is no exposure that threatens the solvency of the business.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
