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

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“On the basis of their assessment of the Group's and the Company's financial position and resources, the directors believe that the Group is well placed to manage its business risks. As in prior years, the Group has net current liabilities. This position results from the profits of the subsidiary, Accel Partners Management LLP, being fully allocated to the partners of the subsidiary in the year that they arise. The Group's revenue is derived primarily from advisory fees charged to Accel London Management Limited and to Accel Management Co. LLC. Revenues of Accel London Management Limited comprise management fee income from venture capital funds. Due to the size and certainty of these revenue streams, the directors feel that the company is well placed to manage its liquidity and accordingly, they believe the going concern basis is an appropriate one.”
