Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- IFRS
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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 company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.”

Significant events
- “During the period, the Company changed its financial year end from 31 May to 31 December. As a result, these financial statements cover a shortened period from 1 June 2025 to 31 December 2025, rather than a full 12-month period.”
- “Subsequent to the period end, the Board approved the commencement of a members' voluntary liquidation of IG Finance 9 Limited via written resolution in January 2026. The entity has no remaining trading activities or material assets, and no further distributions to the Company are anticipated.”
